Miss Maudie Atkinson's Advice Segment

Dear Miss Maudie,
                               Some of my students whom shall remain nameless are only showing up to school on the first day and then disappear for the rest of the year. what should I do about them?
                                                                - Caroline Fisher

Sounds like some troublesome kids.  You can't really force a kid to do something they aren't capable of though.  Your best bet would be to try to talk to their parents about the matter and see what the cause of all this is.  It is possible that their parents will have a reason for this and can make a change.

Dear Miss Maudie,
                               I have been trying to act more mature now that I'm older but my father still treats me like a child.  How can I get him to see me as the young adult that I am?
                                                               - Jem Finch

Maturity is not something that you can pretend to have.  You need to live it at all times.  Games and playing are for children, try collecting something like magazines or coins.  Be polite yet firm and do not make silly jokes.  Your father is a smart man and knows you are growing up but he is still your father regardless of how old you are so he will always look out for you.

Dear Miss Maudie,
                                People keep on calling me the town gossip, I constantly have to deal with snarky remarks pointed towards me because of this.  I don't believe I'm lying, I'm spreading the truth as I hear it. How can I stop these remarks?
                                                             - Stephanie Crawford

You are gossiping about the town and people don't like being talk to behind their back.  If you want to spread news, that's fine but don't go spreading it without getting the full story, especially of all involved in the situation.  Hopefully this will help stop those snarky remarks aimed towards you.

Miss Stephanie Crawford's Gossip Segment

Rumors are spreading about a black worker named Calpernia that Atticus Finch has hired to do the cleaning around his home.  Apparently she is fairly well educated for a colored person, or that's what I've heard from Atticuss's children at least. Even if she is educated, Atticus is allowing her to teach his kids to be vulgar little demons.  His daughter has been cursing all over town thanks to Calpernia and she was also being very disobedient to her teacher, Miss Caroline Fisher. I think Atticus should fire Calpernia before she can do any more damage to the kids.

Miss Dubose, an old friend of mine, has recently passed away after Jem and Jean-Louse Finch had been reading to her for weeks.  She was a pleasant lady who has never harmed anyone and those children killed her with their reading.  I heard there was loud screaming coming from her household just before she passed away and Jem and Scout were seen leaving not long after.  Who knows what these kids did to her, I hear Jem never wanted to read to her in the first place so it's possible that he killed her to get out of reading.

The sheriff of our fine town can't even protect us from a rabid dog according to my sources.  He was seen passing his rifle to Atticus Finch by yours truly.  If he can't trust himself to shoot a slow moving dog, how can we trust him to protect us from a real threat.  He had to hand it off to an old man like Atticus that can barely walk around, let alone shoot a gun. Luckily, the dog was taken care of and nobody was harmed, this time.
