Dear Annie,
My stepmom keeps telling me that everything I like is evil, and that I shouldn't like this or that because when I die I will go to hell. She thinks liking rock music, reading fantasy books, and watching MTV is sinful. She goes on and on about how the music, books, and people I like are all evil.
I respect what she likes, and I think she should respect what I like, too. What do you think, Annie?
-Going to Hell

Dear Going to Hell,
Tell your stepmom to cool it. You aren't going to hell. You're already in it.
It's called high school.
