ASK DR. M -- Dr. M and Molly answer some of your questions about school, family, friends, and just about anything that's on your mind.

Dear Dr. M and Molly,
I love my Nana very much. But she's really embarrassing. Last night she took me shopping. I found a shirt I really liked and tried it on and showed it to her. She said, "That's nice. But maybe you need an extra-large. You've started puberty and will get larger breasts. You'll also get taller." She said that in front of the whole store. Everyone stared at me and laughed. Then she actually had the sales woman call her boss and see if they could ship an extra-large to me! Finally, my mother came in and said the shirt I had was fine. My grandmother does things like this whenever I see her! I tried talking to her, but she says she's not embarrassing and if I say that, she doesn't want to see me anymore. What can I do?!
