months. At school he acts like we don't even go out and doesn't
pay any attention to me, but in public he's all over me." --
17-year-old Augusta girl  Here's what you had to say:  The same
thing happened to me, and what I did was ignore him just like he
was doing to me. What he wants is attention from you, but he
doesn't want to give you any attention. Don't worry about it.
Just ignore him for a while and I guarantee he'll be all in your
face.  Ask him what's going on and tell him if he doesn't want
to be with you, y'all should break up. Tell him you like him,
but he shouldn't be ashamed that you are his girlfriend.  You
need to talk to him. If he can't change, then you need to cut
him loose because he's only using you for a front in public.  If
he was your boyfriend he wouldn't treat you that way. He's not
the one for you because if he was, he'd hang on you everywhere
you go and show all
