LETTER OF THE WEEK HALLOWED OUT
I am crazy for Harry Potter. I read the books again and again and never get bored with them. On December 7, the Thai translation of The Deathly Hallows came out. I waited eagerly for it. I saved 10 baht a day for it because I need it. I hope that I get one. Am I crazy? Kanokwan Pansamrong, Roi Et I like the Harry Potter books too, Gookgig, so I don�t think you�re crazy. I bought and read The Deathly Hallows the day that it came out. It�s great that you�ve been setting aside money to buy the book. There�s nothing like having to work for something to make you appreciate it. If you haven�t already bought it, maybe the prize you�re getting for writing the Letter of the Week will help. � Editor BIG DECISIONS
My father wants me to be a doctor and my mother wants me to be a lawyer. I don�t like either of these ideas. Can you give me any ideas? Jirawan Rosacke, Songkhla Your parents probably want you to become a doctor or a lawyer because they�re hoping for the best for you and want you to be successful and financially secure, Jirawan. There are other professions that you might like and that would be equally agreeable to your parents � like architecture or engineering. There is something to be said for success and financial security, but they aren�t the only things in life. If you like the arts (acting, singing, painting, writing, etc.) you probably won�t make much money, but you might still be happy. You�ll have to live with your choice for a long time, so make the decision that�s best for you. Good luck. � Editor BAD FORMULAI have big problem with studying math. I don�t understand it, and I can�t remember the formulas. I don�t like math because it�s too difficult. During class, I don�t pay attention to the teacher, so I have to study extra outside of school. But it�s expensive and a waste of time. I think I need to be more determined to study in the classroom. Pitchaporn Chaiyabut, Songkhla I don�t like math either, Pitchaporn. I�ve always been terrible at it and found it excruciatingly boring and difficult. One of the best things about being a grownup is that I don�t have to do math anymore. Unfortunately you�re still in school, and you�re going to have to keep working on it for some time. In high school I had a tutor who I went to a couple of times a week in the evenings, and it helped a lot. I got through math, and you can, too. Just keep doing your best. � Editor LOVE SO FAR
We are not intimate friends. We were in the same class from Matayom 1 to Matayom 3, but now we aren�t. He doesn�t know that I love him, but my close friends know that I do. I don�t want to tell him that I love him because I feel ashamed. Right now, I don�t need him because I need to study so that I can have the best future for my parents and myself, too. Wajee-on Ouancharee, Roi Et If you were hoping to keep your crush a secret, maybe sending a letter to the editor of a widely read magazine wasn�t the best idea, Poo. Seriously though, if you had the courage to write to me and risk people finding out that you love this guy, how much harder would it be just to go up and talk to him? The worst that could happen is that he might tell you to go away or snub you. If that happened, it would hurt for a while, but at least you could move on and stop worrying. If you can�t talk to him, you�ll still be fine eventually. Crushes don�t last forever. Good luck and study hard. � Editor.

I�m Gookgig, a
14-year-old Thai girl in Matayom 3 at Suwannaphum Pittayapaisarn School.
Although I studied hard this term, I didn�t forget to relax, too. 
I want some advice
from you about my future. Most teenagers know want they want to be in the
future, but not me. I don�t know what I want to be. 
My nickname is Poo, and
I�m 16 years old. I�ve fallen in love with a friend. He is very handsome, but
he is stubborn and stupid because he doesn�t like to learn.
