Liz’s Advice Column

Hey there Bulldogs, it’s me.
You might be wondering what this article is about, but I’m not. I’m just going to make this a BAD advice column! Comment a question and I will answer it in the funkiest and most likely wrongest way. Enjoy.

Q: “Help there’s a bug” from anonymous

A: I’d recommend inviting the bug inside if they’re not already there and offering them a glass of tea. Ask about their day, chances are they are just here to have a nice talk.

Q: “Help, there’s another bug.” from anonymous

A: That bug is here to take revenge for its fallen brethren, I’d recommend locking your doors and shutting the blinds. No one can save you anymore.

Q:” Does pineapple belong on pizza?”

A: Why are you asking me this? Ever considered that I have questions, bet you didn’t.

Q: “UUUHHH. What’s ur favorite thing to do when ur alone?” from Jack

A: Idk, draw, read, plan for the coming end that will take us all, watch YouTube.

Q: “If I don’t want to hurt my friends’ feelings, but they are really annoying and I don’t want to interact with them anymore, how can I, without making them sad, get them to be less interactive with me?”

A: I’m sorry that’s happening, I’d recommend just tearing the band-aid off and just talking to them about what’s bothering you, if that doesn’t work you could always go with the OTHER option.

Q: “um basically i dont wanna be friends with this girl because shes trying to steal my mans so yeah but she also keeps coming up to me acting all buddy buddy, but i dont want to talk to her so idk what to do.”

A: You don’t need anyone, leave your man, leave your friend, go run into the woods and become a witch.

Q: “I think the bug came back?”

A: That was me, sorry if I scared you.

Q: “I got a big crush on this girl that you 100% know and I literally don’t know what to do cuz she’s so pretty and I get rlly nervous everytime I see her”

 A:  I’d say just tell them, they’re really cool so even if they don’t share your feelings I bet you could still stay friends. I’d recommend asking to hold hands and declare your love under an umbrella as it rains, if you give me 10 dollars i’ll sing romantic songs while you do it.

Q: “I made a silly goofy advice column but it’s going VERY WRONG, what do I do??!?!!!!??????!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!??!??!?”

A: I’m so sorry, you should keep trying and power on you little steam boat.

Q: “the bug may or may not have just consumed my right arm”

A: You’ll just have to grow another one I guess.

Q: “I don’t know if my friend is toxic. She jokes a lot. I’m sensitive so I don’t really like her saying that, but if I tell her that, then she might take it as a joke. Also, it’s not just sensitivity. It’s mostly not sensitivity, its about how she says the jokes. The tone is implying almost as if she sorta hates me and is being rude…?? She also makes jokes like this to my 2 friends Lila and Rayan, basically everyone around her??. 😐 pls help (p.s. she can be nice too sometimes)” from Julia K. (Fairmount Heights Middle School)

A: I think you need to just talk to your friend, in order to make her think you aren’t joking around. I’d recommend speaking with a straight face and by telling her it is not a joke. Also, how did you find me? I looked up your school and it is in New York??? Please contact

Q: “what do i do if my bff is secretly dating my ex-boyfriend but she thinks it’s still a secret? I kinda like her ex boyfriend though-should I go for him?”

A: Leave her.

Q: “I’m in a relationship with someone and sometimes I feel like they don’t love me back, it’s probably just paranoia but what should I do”

A: Tell them how you feel, relationships are supposed to be open minded. It’s also okay to take breaks from relationships, if all else fails you could always hide under their bed and whisper good things about you while they sleep, it’ll either make them love you a lot or fear you more than anything else, 50/50.

Q: “what do i do when it feels like I’m getting weaker every day? What if I’m too exhausted to do any of my assignments? what if i don’t pass my classes?”

A: I’m very sorry that’s happening, it is okay to take breaks from time to time. Things may seem like a lot right now but if you look back in a couple of years you’ll be like “why was I so stressed about middle school homework?”. Your middle school grades won’t affect you so you should try your best not to worry about them. That or you could sell your organs, flee the country and go live the rest of your days as a hermit. P.S, what you’re describing are common depression symptoms, I’m NOT a specialist but if you ever need anything don’t be shy to email me.

Q: “how do you life?”

A: I’ve found that breathing helps!

Q: ”Okay so I have a crush on this boy but I don’t know if he likes me back because he’s giving me a lot of mixed signals, how do I communicate my feelings without ruining our friendship.”

A: Tell him. Worst comes to worst he says ‘no’. If he says ‘no’ then you need to respect his wishes. You could also dig a pit so deep that you go to the past and end his bloodline.

Q: “if i ran for president would you vote for me”

A: No.

Q: ”pick one the bee movie or shrek”

A: Shrek all around, the character development, the drama, the action. It’s simply the superior movie.

Q: “How do I take over America?”

A: Make your way into the government and slowly gain their trust, eventually become president and secretly organize a rebellion against yourself, fire a bunch of people from the white house and make your vice president someone from the resistance. Have the rebels kill you during a big public outing while thousands of onlookers watch. While the world is in panic your vice president will slowly but surely get everyone in the white house to be a person in the rebellion. You might not be there to see it but the fruits of your labor will not be in vain. As America falls into your vise’s hands nobody will notice until it is far too late.

Q: “O great Liz, I haveth an inquiry. Not one, but TWO, friends haveth bestowed confessions of love upon me, and I knoweth not whose confession I should accept. I am also polyamorous, and feel the same way about both, so shouldeth I accept both confessions? Should I reject both? Whatever shall I do? O great Liz, please bestow your great knowledge upon I.”

A: Talk to the both of them together, it wouldn’t be fair to start a romantic relationship with the both of them and not have them know about each other.

Q: “i feel like i’m gonna fall asleep every minute, which makes me feel too exhausted to finish assignments. I’m supposed to be a grade A student, which makes me terrified for high school. I know I’m probably gonna flunk some of my classes, which is something that shouldn’t happen to me. I’ve always been an A student. it’s a part of my life at this point. Knowing that one day that I’ll be failing terrifies me, since I should be doing everything effortlessly. it feels like it’s the only way I can. What do I do at this point? What if I fail? what if my friends talk behind my back about it?”

A: I’d recommend a long night of sleep, you’d be surprised how energized it makes you feel. For your assignment, it’s middle school, it doesn’t matter that much. It’s okay to take breaks, and it’s okay to not have all A’s.

Q: “someone keeps calling me a bunch of inappropriate names, and when I ask them to stop they won’t stop, what do I do”
A: Tell a trusted adult about the situation, any adult in the school you can think of, you don’t even need to know them well.

Q: “Finlay stole my ankles”
A: ha, loser

A: Look at my post that’s up a bit on how to take over America, first do that and then repeat it everywhere else.

Q:“teenage mutant ninja turtles”
A: Michelangelo is my favorite character, I love all renditions and designs of him. He’s so funky and he could commit horrendous crimes and I would not be mad whatsoever.

Q:“’There’s a swarm of bugs”
A: What kind? My favorite kind are moths, I love all moths. I honestly think that they’re prettier than butterflies. There’s this really cool book called “Me(Moth)” about a girl and it’s written in poetry. It has a really awesome plot and the characters are so cool and they’re written really well.

Q:“top ramen or cup o’ noodles”
A: my lawyer advised me not to answer this question.

Q: “should I attack the Hogwarts academy with my tanks?” from russian hacker

Q: “opinion on ed sheeran”

A: I’m NOT in love with the shape of him.

Q: “opinion on lizzo”
A: I don’t even know who that is.

Q: “I’ve never been good at making friends but for the first time 2 years ago, I found someone who clicked with me. Everything was going great until she met this other girl this year. This other girl is super nice and funny and pretty. Suddenly this other girl is starting to slowly ‘steal’ my bsf. I’m not trying to be mean, but she would randomly call my bsf, her bsf!!! In front of me!! Now they’re hanging out more often, and I’m afraid I might lose my bsf to the other girl. How do I win her back??”

A: I’m sorry that’s happening, if I were to guess I’d say that the other girl isn’t trying to steal your best friend. You could try and talk to your friend and tell them how you feel, I’m sure that if you tell them how you’re feeling the two of you could come to a compromise.

Q: “Are you Ed Sheeran’s daughter?”

A: No, I am not Ed Sheeran’s daughter, or cousin, or anyway related to him. Ed Sheeran is from the planet F1B77 while I’m from the planet R3D570, if you know your systems you would know that these are in different solar systems.

A: I don’t know

Q: “what do I do if a Benyamin stole my water bottle?”
A: Eat his arms.

Q: “What do I do if I have the water bottle that Benyamin stole but the person who owns the water bottle is absent?”

A: Find them, You could also give it to me and I can return it to them.

Q: “How many students are there? If you made the school a housing program how many of those students could you actually fit?”

A: I do not understand this question, there’s only me making this advice column because I’m Liz but Finlay sometimes writes answers and stops me from doing stupid stuff.

Edit: Finlay is looking into this question, she will get back to it soon.

Q: “Eggscalibur still lives in our hearts”

A: Truer words have never been said.

Q: “I know you already answered things like this but I’m polyamorous and I like this girl and also this guy – I already told the girl my feelings and now we’re dating, but not the guy – I’m also having problems believing that my girlfriend before the girl and the guy even loves me anymore, it feels like she’s just using me.What do I do now?
