Hey there, it's Janay Desmond Harris, aka Dear Prudence.

Here to tell you a little secret I've been holding on to, Slates Dear Prudence podcast

is back.

That's right.

We're back to answer your questions and hopefully give you some good advice.

And as always, I can't do this alone.

I'll be joined by our amazing guests who know a thing or two about giving advice.

You should just let 13 year olds fight.

You should not get in the middle of 4-13 year olds fighting with each other and try

and break them up because you are just going to twist your ankle or break a finger.

Whether you're a teen dealing with parents, people can be unpredictable and nonsensical

and sometimes parents and humans in general just don't make any goddamn sense.

Sticing up your sex life.

Or is it simply, you know, I don't have to be in a state so I can't do this.

Or just need some validation that you're not losing it.

I love it when everyone's like, this is a minor issue, it's low stakes, as if most

of my questions are about, like, peace in the Middle East or something.

Dear Prudence is here to help you navigate all the complicated and tricky bits of life,

while hopefully helping you see the humor along the way.

Each week, I'll answer your questions about overbearing parents, flaky friends, and that

one coworker who just won't take a hint.

But the most important voice will always be yours.
