Kid-undrum is a word we made up that combines the words “kid” and “conundrum” . You know what “kid” means. “Conundrum” means a sticky situation where you have to figure out what to do. Add them together and get the meaning! Come to this page every month and read about other kids’ problems. Maybe our answers will help get you thinking about how you can solve your problems.
Today at school my friend promised to play a game with me at

Maybe something is going on, or she just forgot. Don’t just
jump to conclusions and think they don’t like you. Talk to
your friend and find out what is going on.
