Dear Dish-It,
I like this girl, but she lives in another country. I will see her in a month and I don't know what to do about it.

Dear Infierno,
Wow, a long distance relationship, huh? Those are NEVER easy and, I hate to bring ya down, but they rarely work out. But hey, I'm not one to stand in the way of Cupid, so here's my advice - take it slow. You seem totally psyched to be seeing your girl in a month and that's cool. But her "visit" probably won't be enough time to really get to know her. Online chats, emails and even old-fashioned snail mail are good ways of getting to know someone who lives far away. You could even ask your parents if you can call her on the phone, if it doesn't cost them too much money. And if you're able to save up enough cash, you could go visit her in her country next summer! Good luck!

So gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' about stuff like teen suicide, depression, sex, low self-esteem, boyfriends, girlfriends, losing old friends, bullying or peer pressure, but are too scared to ask the 'rents? Don't be scared to Dish-It. Just remember, if you hang out in chat with other Kidzworld members who know you by your nick, you might wanna use a secret nick when you write in. That way, no one will ever know it's you. Remember though, Dish-It gets tons of letters a day, so she can't answer 'em all. But keep checkin' the column cuz chances are, she'll be answering something very similar to your question soon. Thanks! Got some words of wisdom you wanna share? We'll dish them up too.
