Sarah Burningham

dear sarah, So I’ve been dating this guy for 6 months and I really liked him at the beginning but now I’m having doubts whether I like him or not due to that he really doesn’t pay attention to me and we really don’t see each other. He cla...

I’m coming your way for a Boyology GNO par-tay! If you’re around on October 6th (it’s a Tuesday) at 7:00pm stop by the Little Egg Harbor Library branch. You can register by calling 609-294-1197 or get more event details here. It’s a Girls Night Out and we’ll be talking about all things boy!

This is a question for the ages. Is he your boyfriend if you just hang out? Are you really going out if you don’t actually go anywhere? ...

The most recent “dear sarah” question really made me think. What do you do when you like someone but you aren’t allowed to date? And what if your parents have an extra reason for being a little protective? As if the teen years aren’t hard enough, this girl has a lot on her plate. I’m ju...

Tomorrow I’m heading back on book tour (one of my favorite things to do) for events in Lexington, Cincinnati, Louisville and Miami (for a special GNO event with Carmindy for her book The 5-Minute Face!). If you’re around, come by and share your stories about your best and worst dates. He...

We’ve all been there. It seems like everyone – even your neighbor’s pet poodle – has a special someone. What do you do when everyone has a boyfriend but you? That’s...

Teenreads.com – a great site for all things YA – just published my essay Teenager At Heart: The Story Behind Getting Published and I wanted to share it here, too. It...

I’m shocked that Chris Brown released a video apology expressing “deep regret” for assaulting Rihanna (on TMZ, no less). Does he really think that a video about how his mom taught him better makes up for the fact that he’s abusive? Being ...

While doing some research for my next writing project, I stumbled on an article in Time magazine called “How Should We Teach Our Kids About SEX?” (The article put “sex” in all caps – not me.) Even though I mostly get questions from teens, I get some emails from parents, too. And the ...

Drumroll, please. I have a big announcement! I have a new advice column on ABC Family’s website for their hit show The Secret Life of the American Teenager, which I watch religiously (and would even if I didn’t have the column!). de...
