You’re beautiful, know that first and foremost. Let your friends be grown and have all the boyfriends.
Dear Pretty Ricky,
My best friend and I have been friends since 4th grade. When middle school started we started to have feelings for each other. [But] he started going with my other best friend. When I found out I stopped telling him I loved him. But since we are in high school now we want to go out but I don’t want to hurt my best friend. [When] I talk to her she says she doesn’t care but I think she does. We mess around and everything but I don't want to hurt anybody. Pretty Ricky, what should I do?
Love,
Chanell
You’re in high school now, do what you want to. If your friend says it’s all right, then be with him. Ya’ll grown now. When you’re grown you got to leave that kid stuff alone. They ain’t feel like they were hurting you, so do you Chanell.
Dear Pretty Ricky,
I am 14 and I'm a little bigger than most girls my age. Everybody always tell me how pretty I am and how good I look (which I do) but I've never had a boyfriend. I know I'm only 14 but it’s not like I'm looking for sex! I just want a little love. I'm tired of being the girl with no boyfriend, and every time I go to my friend’s house boys come over and start flirting with everybody but me. It’s like they only see me as a friend! I realize that young boys might be afraid of being with a big girl, but why? Is it going to be like this all my life?

You’re beautiful, know that first and foremost. Let your friends be grown and have all the boyfriends. Wait until you’re older, there's no rush and by that time your maturity will catch up to your body and you'll be the next best thing.
Dear Pretty Ricky,
I had a friend who I thought was my friend. We were so close in the beginning and didn’t let anyone come between our friendship. Now he acts phony and mean. I really don’t give a flip flop but it just hurts to see someone who you thought loved you and care for you, just leave you hanging. . . Now he gets on my nerves and I want to whoop his ass. What do I do?

The best thing to do is leave him alone and go on about your business. Once he realizes what he lost he will want you back, but don't get with him. Or if it makes you feel better whoop his ass like you were planning on doing.
Dear Pretty Ricky,
I have this ex-boyfriend and he was my first. We broke up and haven’t been together for like two years. Now he wants to get back with me, but get this: he has a girl. I don’t know what to do. Should I get back with him or should I just leave him alone cause if he doing it to her he'll do it to me right?

Leave him alone; you know he got a girl. If you can't be his main girlfriend then don't settle for number two. Plus that's just asking for trouble from his lady.
