My teacher thinks I am evil
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am 16 years old and in Senior High School. I see myself as the unhappiest person in the world because of the attitude of my teacher.
He has just tagged me as a notorious boy and dismisses anything I do as foolish.
I am not a bad person like my teacher thinks. I have tried many times to let him know I am good but he does not want to listen to me.
I want to stop schooling because this teacher is not encouraging me at all.

Dear Bob,
I would not encourage you to stop schooling just because your teacher thinks you are bad.
I can imagine how it feels for a teacher to see you as not being a good student and trashing everything you do.
However, giving up on your education would be a defeatist attitude on your part.
If you know you are a good boy, then continue exhibiting your good qualities and one day your good works will advertise themselves so strongly that your teacher will have a completely different opinion about you.
In any case, you should not expect everybody to like you.

I have no peace in my home
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am 35year –old-lady married to a banker. I am a housewife. I am fair in complexion. I got my left hand tattooed sometime last year. I have never had my peace with my husband because he strongly abhors.
In my attempt to get it erased, I have caused a big scar on my hand which has worsened the situation. Sometime ago, your esteemed paper carried a story about how permanent tattoo can be cleared and a location.
May I know whether it is possible to get the scar and tattoo erased, and how much it would cost.
Worried housewife, Prampram.
Dear housewife,
Since I have no idea how wide and deep the scar and tattoo are, it would be difficult for me to have a meaningful discussion with the specialists at the unit.
I suggest that the next time you visit Accra, you pay a visit to any skincare unit and ask what help they can offer.
But until then, do not apply any self-medication. You may also ask your doctor to advise you as if there is any way out for a surgery. All the best.

He doesn’t wear his wedding ring
Dear Obaa Yaa,
Ever since we got married, two years ago, my husband seldom wears his wedding ring except on occasion such as church service, funerals, outdooring and other social gatherings.
For the rest of the week, he goes to work without it. The excuse he gives is that whether he wears the ring to work or not, he is by law married to me.
But I beg to differ. I suspect there is more to it than what he told me. I need your advice on this.
Eno, Ashiaman.
Dear Eno,
Some men don’t like wearing rings; others enjoy it. It is just like how some women like wearing jewellery or large earing while others would rather do away with them.
The fact, however, is that a man can misbehave even when he wears it or not because there are ladies who wouldn’t mind with the ring on.
When he gets back home, he would wear it again. What difference does it make if he doesn’t wear it all?
