Aunt Agony

There was a civic lesson (sort of) today and I was telling the pupils about the existence of Aunt Agony. I showed them some letters and got them to write a letter to Aunt Agony with their real life problems.

Of couse there were the usual ones about worrying about examination results, stress, having too much tuition etc. [BTW: a few of them said that there was too much homework and that they had no time for other things... I think I should also write an Aunt Agony column and complain about the amount of marking (everything they have multiplied by 40) I have to clear on a daily basis...]

A few of the slightly different ones included the fear of the dark and ghosts, another sibling being a better one than them, BGR problems (!!), being the subject of comparison by parents etc etc.

It seems so tough being a kid in the 21st century...
