Tell us your troubles

Got something on your mind that you don’t feel like you can discuss with your parents or friends? Well, starting this school year, FlipSide can help. We’re starting an advice column, and we want to hear from you.

If you’ve got a problem and want advice, send us a note with your problem, name, city and a phone number. If we print your letter, we’ll only use your first name and city; the telephone number is just for verification.

E-mail your letters to flipside@wvgazette.com with “FlipSide Advice” in the subject line. We’ve also got a MySpace page - www.myspace.com/wvflipside - so you can send us a message there or leave it as a comment. You can even use snail mail if you want - just send it to FlipSide Advice, The Charleston Gazette, 1001 Virginia St. E., 25301.
