Boomer, I ate a pizza one time--it had pepper-onion-anchovies-shrimp-pineapple-chicken-and bell peppers. It looked really disgusting, and when I took a bite I ran straight to the bathroom!

Hi Boomer, I'm having problems with my teacher, but I don't think she knows. What should I do?
Your friend, F.H.
Dear Boomer, My fifth-grade class does a day where everyone dresses up in colonial outfits. I learned how to make corn husks into dolls. It's actually really fun!
UR BFF, E.F.
Boomer Bear, I like these guys, and my bff told them on Friday! When things like that happen to me, I'm usually embarrassed and try to avoid them (the boys). What should I do?
--A.P.
Boomer, I like this boy, and everyone in my grade knows including him...what should I do? Help!
--M.G.
Dear Boomer, My favorite part of Bear Essential News is that kids like me can become a (Young) Reporter for it! My teacher got them for our class, and it turned out that the whole school wanted some! I thought that was really cool.
Your friend, B.V.
Boomer, I keep on getting sick, and I don't like it at all. What should I do?
Please help, T.S.
Hey there, Boomer! I saw letters of kids in your newspaper and want to see if you can help me with my worries. So I'm going into eighth grade this year, and that's not too far until high school. At first I was pretty happy but now am not too sure of the whole idea--what should I do?
Friends, Y.D.
Dear Boomer, My heart is filled with sorrow for Gabrielle Giffords and the other victims. My friend actually knew Christina and told me that Christina was a really nice girl. My other friend's brother was shopping at Safeway (that morning) and became a victim.
I hope Rep. Giffords is okay! Please reply back Boomer! You're awesome! (I want to be a Young Reporter for this newspaper!)
Your friend, J.J.
Hey Boomer! I wanted to see how your blog works. Can I subscribe to it in my blog reader?

Dear Boomer Some visitors are coming over, and I don't know what to do. I'm nervous!
--T.T.
Boomer, The person I always go to is my best friend. She is so trustworthy to me and my feelings. She is as close as a sister to me and a friend. Thanks for all your help Boomer!
Sisters forever, TT
Boomer, I feel very sad. Maybe we can dedicate her school to her.
Your friend, G.K.
Boomer, I always turn to my mom when I'm upset or need to share feelings. She understands me and comforts me. After the tragedy in Tucson, I turned to my mom for comfort. And, Mom, if you ever read this, thank you for all the things you do!
