Dear experts

I have a big problem. I need some advice. In my school there this teacher he always stares at me in class. I feel like he's attracted by  me. I heard he even got married a few months ago. I like him as teacher. I have no relationship with him and never will be. I couldn't tell anyone because I am afraid to tell. He hasn't done anything wrong to me like (molesting,etc). This really bothers me. Please help me, what should I do?

I have 3 kids 12,10,and 31/2 years old. My eldest son is educationally gifted and very smart, but also computer addict. The only way to keep our house calm is to keep him occupied with the labtop or gameboy. we are living now in saudi arabia and there is no much options to involve him like practicing sport . I need an advice, please help me.

Our dog died today.  The worst part is my son was off school for MLK Day so he was home alone with the dog when he died.  The dog had been sick (the vet thinks he got into some anti-freeze somewhere) and almost died a week and a half ago.  He stayed on IV fluids at the vet for five days and came home basically as good as new.  We had a wonderful weekend with him, spoiled him rotten and made a big deal over him.  Then Sunday night he didn't come home and we couldn't find him anywhere.  My husband found him this morning at the end of our road.  We both had no choice but to go to work so we left him at home with the intention of taking him back to the vet this afternoon.  My son called me about two hours before I left work begging me to come home, but I couldn't leave.  Then an hour before I was to get off work, he called to say the dog had died.   I feel like the worst mother ever.  I always tell my son "call me if you need me".  And he called me and I couldn't do anything about it.  I explained to him that if he or a family member had been sick, my boss would have understood my leaving work.  But that my boss would not have allowed me to leave work for a dog (even though we considered this dog to be a member of our family).  I can't get the image of my son witnessing his dog's death out of my mind.  I know I need to try to talk to him some more, but I can't stop crying.  I need help with how to handle this.  What is the perfect thing to say?  A mother is supposed to always know exactly what to say and I have no idea.  It's heartbreaking.

Hi, My name is Benita and I am new to the group.  I have two children of my own and tend to take in children seeking help.  Currently I have an 18 year old here who is my oldest daughters 1/2 sister by their father.  She is a "recovering" addict.  I think she is using and I know that ignoring the problem won't make it go away.  I don't know this child as well as I should to be able to help her. 

She came to us wanting to get back in school and get over the drug issues so she can move on to cosmetology school once she finishes getting her GED or diploma (which ever she may choose)  I am not dumb..I got high a few times when I was a teenager, but she denied it last night and I know she was high.   My husband and I plan to drug test her, but I am being tugged back and forth because I don't want her to feel like we don't believe in her.  I watched my two brothers and many friends go down a rough path because of drugs...Her father is an addict and from what I have heard he does nothing to help, just encourages it (yes this is also my 13 year olds father..but they are not in contact)

Any suggestions?  Drug test..or not?  She works and has contacted the school to get back in the GED program..so there are good and bad things here.  She has told us she has cervical cancer, but has not contacted the doctor to continue the freezes...said she refused Chemo..cause she doesn't want to loose her hair.

Is there a step-by-step handbook out there?  I am at a lose of where to begin with here...she definately can't do drugs and live here..I have a 13 year old and a 9month old I don't want around that kind of influence.  She says she wants help, yet is coming in with red, glassy, dialated eyes...I will take ANY advice...Thanks so much for at least reading, even if you don't have any advice...we appreciate the support!
