Dear John,
Why do English bathrooms always have carpets?
Valentina

To keep our feet warm after a shower. They also give a warm look to an otherwise cold-looking room. Now you’re going to ask me about the lack of “bidets,” aren’t you?

Dear John,
I’m in love with a guy and I can’t stop thinking about him, but there’s a huge problem. He is my best friend’s boyfriend. What should I do? Do I forget this boy, or should I talk to him or her about my feelings?

Boys come and go, but true friends are forever! Never trade a friend for a boy. It is just wrong. Use this situation to set an important precedent in your life: never cheat on your friends! This is a rule. No boy is worth it. And in any case, if he liked you more, he would be with you, and not her!
