Newspaper Agony Aunts.

I admit it. I have a guilty pleasure: reading problem pages in newspapers. It's the first thing i read in a newspaper. I love the outrageousness of the letters. Some of them could put soap operas to shame. I actually wrote to 'dear Deidre' once. I did get a reply but my letter didn't get published. why did i write? i had a problem and i felt i couldn't talk to anyone about it, and i did get advice, but i still think half the letters have to be made up.
