The Advice Annex 59
The Advice Annex answers questions from teens and young adults all over the world, using my own life experience and humor.
Joshua is having difficulty dealing with stress, Skyler has been in an unmotivated funk, Maria is not sure if she should give her boyfriend another chance, Sam’s friend is dating a drug addict, J is unsure on his crush’s sexuality, Sarah is not sure which friend to take to prom, Josh hates going to school and much more!


Showering at night is what I do. Because I’d rather go to bed clean than dirty. I hate wearing deodorant to sleep. Yech

I really think Skyler is in a depression and/or is having some ADD. I felt like you both were describing me when i’m more depressed and/or overwhelmed with life. When i get overwhelmed, instead of working harder, i tend to just shut down. Anyway,
Just my two cents

JP Metz is right about the prom question. Both years I went to prom, i brought a friend instead of my significant other, and it was fun and not stressful.

I love the advice you give! I left a tumblr question so I’m hoping it will be answered this week. I’m such a JPmets minion

Hey Justine, this is Josh. Thanks for answering my tumblr post. It really means a lot to me. I am trying this, and today I had a great day. And I have to admit, when I first listened to your podcast a while ago, you were (and are) being so helpful, that based on your videos, only your voice could convince me it was actually you.

Very nice episode, I think the advice you give is great Justine! I’m not the same Josh who’s question was answered, but I have been in a similar predicament, and what helped me was to in a way get out of the public high school environment. Where I live they offer a PSEO (post secondary enrollment option) program, where basically you take classes at a local college and your school pays for them. I do it full time and love it, plus I get free college courses out of it
