'Dear GMA' Entry: Are You Our Next Advice Guru?

ByGood Morning America
September 21, 2010, 3:17 PM

Sept. 23, 2010 — -- "Good Morning America" is launching a nationwide search for a 21st century Advice Guru.

This is a full time, on-air position at "GMA." You could sit next to George and Robin and be a part of the "GMA" Team!

Over the next few weeks, we'll be featuring some of your entries on the website.

Check out this one from Amy Olsen of Louisville, Kentucky.

What's the best advice you have ever given? What was the result?

I encouraged someone to break-up with her boyfriend and see what the world had to offer. She did, and explored new adventures that he would not "allow" her to see.

What would you tell his person: "Whenever there is an issue between my mother-in-law and me, my husband refuses to stand up for me. How do I get him to value our relationship more than the one with his mother?

Gently remind your husband that he married YOU, NOT his mother. Tell him you need his support. Then, stop nagging. Complaining about his mother will not help. Save your complaints for when you really need them, and your husband will take them more seriously.

What would you tell this person: "While cleaning my son's room, I accidentally saw on his Facebook page threatening remarks from his friends. I fear he's being bullied. What should I do?"

First, talk to your son. Keep the communication open and make him feel safe to tell you anything. Then, go to the necessary authorities (parents of the "bullies", school, police). Finally, get some counseling for your child to help with his self-esteem/anger issues.

What would you tell this person: "My boss keeps taking credit for my ideas. What should I do?"

If it is really bothering you, talk to your boss in private. Simply ask why he/she has been taking credit for your ideas and then wait for a response. Don't say another word, just let them respond. As the old saying goes, "He who speaks first loses."
