I agree he could act one way on the internet and another way in person.
About the age difference 4 years really isnt that much of an age difference.

Not much, but still a margin.

Parents can be overprotective sometimes(no offense.)

Memory September 22nd, 2008 4:22 PM

I really think I know this guy. I've known him for years. It's the same way all the time.. phone, internet, video call. He gets good grades in school, etc.

And yeah, I know his address -- the only problem is my ticket to mailing letters is my dad, and he doesn't want me to talk to Dylan behind his mother's back.

I know, everyone I've talked to has a problem mainly with the fact we've never talked face-to-face. I just love him/miss him SO much... I was thinking about him all day. I know he is who he is.

Kenshin5 September 22nd, 2008 4:48 PM

Just ask somebody you know to take your letters to the post office.So if you love why havent you met face to face yet?

Memory September 22nd, 2008 6:14 PM

We haven't yet face-to-face yet because we can't. Absolutely can't. If there was 0.1% of a chance that we could, we would have met by now, and I'm dead serious.

I guess I'll ask my grandma about it.
Thanks for the input, guys.

I have a problem.. Ok, about this time last year, I randomly started to get a stomach virus. It would come on so suddenly, then I would get sick. After that, I was 100% ok and could eat anything I wanted to. But the weird thing was this would happen weekly. same thing every time. Go to school. Feel sick. Go home. Get sick. Rest for awhile. Feel better in 10 minutes. Eat. Then I'd be ok for about a week or 2, then it would happen again. This was for about 4 or 5 months straight.

I was not anorexic, bulimic, or anything like that. I didn't make myself throw up. I wasn't pregnant or anything, either. But besides knowing what it was, I'm constantly afraid that it will start happening again. I'm a hypochondriac (I think) so I keep thinking stuff like, what if it's stomach cancer? but I know it isn't.. but I'm just scared every time I feel sick now. >_<

TRANSPARANCY September 24th, 2008 12:35 AM

Hmm that is strange... any type of stomach virus shouldn't last that long.

I'd go to your local GP and see if they can put you on some medication (that's if you haven't done it yet).

Other than that i would have no idea...


Well i got, well it's not really a problem, but it is just getting so annoying now that i can not stand it any more. It's to do with religion, honestly i got no problem with it, i do live around the basics of the Christian religion, celebrate X-Mas, Easter etc. Now one of my friends just all of a sudden one day comes to school and starts talking about the "rapture" and how all Christians will be saved by god and all that don't believe in him will stay on earth, to suffer from all of this pain and suffering. Before all of this, he had fun, played video games, he was the one that got me into Emulation, that i should play SNES games too, he gave me some stuff and he would talk about Final Fantasy and all these other SNES games. Now he's just a Bible Basher. He got this information from a book, even one of my friends who is a "full on" follower of Christianity is a bit curious on who wrote this book and if the information in it is true. I tried telling him that i feel the need to live the way i want and that he can't influence me to become a "full on" Christian. One of my friends wants scientific proof and another one doesn't even care at all. He now has run out of ideas for an half-decent argument and just says "become a Christian" every morning. I even told him to stop talking about it, that i don't really give an damn about it.


I want to tell him, that he needs to stop putting pressure on me to becoming a Christian, it's just wrong i think.

Zet September 24th, 2008 12:41 AM

I think you mean "bible humper", basher mocks religion etc
but tell him "God loves and accepts all his children in open arms" best way to make a bible humper to shut it

Guillermo September 24th, 2008 1:06 AM

Or just completely ignore him, or come too school with a bible and pretend you are a full on Christan and he will stop. I go to a very christian school, there is a cross in every room, even the gym.

So you've told him you're not interested and he persists? Try a different approach. Tell him that by nagging you about converting, he's only annoying you and it'll make you more likely to continue on as you are out of pure spite, which is bad. :[ Just let him know that, right now, Christianity isn't your thing and you don't see it. Maybe in the future you will, and you'll convert then. After all, wouldn't it be better for you to "see the light" on your own, and convert with a full understanding and appreciation of the religion than to convert just to satiate someone who keeps telling you to blindly follow God? Even if you have no intentions of ever doing this, who knows, it might shut him up.

It's rude to force your beliefs on anyone. I'd... probably stop hanging out with him if I were in that situation but hopefully he'll grow out of it soon enough. :| Some people are very impressionable so he'll eventually just realize the book was probably a little over the top (haha, assuming it's not the bible or anything) and mellow out.

Emii September 24th, 2008 7:02 AM

I knew some people like that before.. I used to go to a Catholic school, but I left because it was just so insane there.. my mom made me go to it anyway.. It's not that I don't believe in god or anything, I'm just unsure because I'm more of a scientific believer. and I think if there is a god, I think it shouldn't matter what you believe in, as long as you are a good person. That's what I say to people when they try to force religion and things on me.

Try getting examed so the doctor could diagnose the problems your having.If your unsure that your hypochondriac you might as well ask your doctor while you were getting examed but it would probably be better to ask a Psychologist about the hypochondriac.

If the Christian is decently knowledgeable, that actually isn't the best way. The returning argument would be that God accepts everyone, buit not everyone accepts God.

However, said knowledgeable Christian probably wouldn't be beating people over the head with the Bible in the first place. It turns people off, as has been said, and it's disrespectful of free will. The person could obviously state their beliefs and why they believe the way they do, but they shouldn't be pressuring you to convert: that's ultimately your decision, and a big one at that. Besides, if you're pressured into it, it isn't a "conversion", but a "coercion," as it were.

The only christians that would ever think of bible bashing are either insecure about their beliefs, unknowledgeable (like txteclipse said), or are incredibly superstitious. I know many people who are very religious who would never force their beliefs on anyone.

Transparency, if this kid was truly your friend, he wouldn't be thumping you in the head with his bible at all. On the contrary, he would back away from the topic if he knew your beliefs were different to avoid an argument. Like Lightning said, if you've talked to him about it and he still won't let up, don't hang out with him anymore. If he's a true friend, he'll realize his mistake and apologize.

Posting the same thing once was enough... x_x;

Distract yourself. Watch some funny videos on Youtube, go play some games, help your family make dinner--just do something to keep yourself busy and thinking about other things and you won't really notice that you're sad. If you're sad for no reason, it should help you get over it until it passes.

Anxiety. September 26th, 2008 1:32 PM

Hey, uh... I have a sort of problem thing, it isn't big, but it's starting to annoy me...

Okay, so one day, I want to hug everyone and be really close, and I'm all happy, then the next day I don't want any hugs and I try to get as far away from people when I'm talking to them, I hate the crowds in the corridors and I just wanna block everyone's voices out, which I do sometimes.

I think it might be giving some of my friends trouble, 'cause they don't know if they should hug me or walk in the other direction.

I mean, it's like mood swings, but it's always the same, one day I'm happy, the next day I'm not.

Anyone know whats wrong with me, or if it's just it my head?
I just wanna know, because I know it must be annoying some of my friends, and I wanna stop, so if I know it's just in my head, or it's normal, it would help me stop I spose.

helix September 26th, 2008 8:58 PM

I have a problem- the type of the typical school drama.

I recently was admitted to a school. I'm new to being in such a social environment, but I think I've been getting by quite well. There's someone in my class who appears have been very friendly to me recently. I don't mind them at all, and in fact I've hung out with them a lot since I like their company. We get along well, even though he doesn't know English that well and sometimes doesn't understand what I'm saying.
However, because of my associations with him I've been greatly pressured by other classmates who think that we'd make a great couple. They constantly bring him up and tease me about him, and even though I don't think of him that way they think I like him. The truth is I'm interested in someone else, but I don't dare tell them that. The other day, in the middle of class, my classmates even brought up our so-called 'romance' to our homeroom teacher. I laughed at that time, but the truth is that that was an extremely embarassing occurrence. How can I deal with my classmates if they keep this up?

It's just your head I think. Has this been going on for a long time? Cause if not then it'll go away soon, everyone, especially girls have moodswings, like rank ones. Just act how you usually act and don't think too much of it, I feeel like being alone too at times.

Just tell them who you do like then the want bug you about liking your friend or your teacher.Any ways your classmates sound pretty immature so I wouldnt worry to much about what they have to say cause its probably just ignorant bs.

I dunno how long it's been going on, I only noticed about a month ago.
Thanks anyway, I'll leave it, it probably is in my head, and I'll probably get over it soon aswell.

Meh, it's not much of a problem, because I think my friends are slowly getting used to it... I hope it stops though...

This happens all the time with people. But since you're new, I'm not sure if I would take this as a teasing sort of way or anything. Perhaps learning more about this boy you're friends with. Maybe something's been going around the school that would help you better understand the explication. But it seems kind of childish that this is happening to you. I truly hope that you don't go to a high school and this is happening because from what you're saying, it seems that this children are pretty immature at best. I'd just ignore them, as hard as that may be, or just go along with it if it comes to that. Usually, when you go along with a joke that's aimed at yourself, the people who were telling that get a bit uncomfortable because it looks as though the joke or whatever you want to call it didn't work out in their favor and they end up leaving or just standing there wondering why you're laughing with them.

sims796 September 28th, 2008 11:18 AM

I don't know if I should post this here, but I don't know where it goes.

I am getting a little pissy at aetheist on the internet. I am a religious person. Not extremley religious, but it's up their. Now, I am not mad at what aetheist believes in, not one bit. If they don't believe in God, that's their good. Or their problem, in my point of view, but I keep that too myself. I am not a preachy sort of person, and I have never really met a Christian who is. Sure, Jahova's Witness is annoying on those rare occasions (even though they are nice dressers), but at the very least, I never go preaching about how you must go for God. And it's not that I don't accept what aetheist believe in, its that I just don't care. I don't care what muslims believe in, I don't care what Jews believe in, I know what I believe in ,and I stick with it. I don't have a problem, but I just don't care. There fore, if any other religion says anything, I don't get all huffy, with the whole "u r stewpid, believe in MEEEEE!!!!" crap.

So that is my problem with aethiest. Not all aethiests, mind you, just the ones that I have seen lately. For example, the second somebody mentions the bible, you get several posts either

1)making fun of the bible
2)Explaining why they are wrong, when it ISN'T PROVOKED OR ASKED
3)Basically flamming

So I ask, why? I have no problem with you, so what is your problem with me?

And this thread goes both ways, so if aethest are constantly getting bombarded by christians, when it ISN'T WARRENTED, that is just as bad, and worse for me, since it makes ME look bad. And I always look good.

I say this now because I've seen a few threads, where as soon as someone mentions their fiath, we get two or three posts basically calling him stupid, as if they are a bunch of children making fun of the different person. If you don't agree with something that someone has said, don't flame, or cal them stupid. don't mock their beliefs, because it makes you look small, not the other way around. It makes you look childish.

In my dorm room, I had the bible. My roomate had a book called "The aethiest bible". We were good friends, the bastard. Always, ALWAYS stealing my Kool-Aid.

Two notible examples of aethiest I respect are El Gofe & Jaimes, just to name two. They don't get bent out of shape.

And look at Jaimes profile for an example of a christian that makes me look bad.

This thread was a huge opinions thread, asking if one has any thought on the meaning of life. One person used the bible to back up his OPINIONS. And we get this.

Me being atheist, I believe there is no true, complex, "You are here to do great things!" universal meaning of life. You are not here for a reason. You create your own reason for life. My reason to life for me, to be successful. The meaning of life in a universal sense is to stay alive then die. :3


Seriously, that isn't needed. The only reason discussing religion is taboo is because BOTH SIDES are walking on eggshells.

Everybody, on both sides (I mention Aethiests more because I am christian, and that behavior upsets me more, all religions are guilty of this) needs to grow up, and learn that their are far too many people for everyone to agree. While we don't have to agree, you must at least accept the fact that others has a different opinion, and while you don't have to respect their choices, respect the fact that they have them. Too many people on teh intarwebs for this level of intolerance & immaturity.


I don't know if this belongs here, I thought it deserved it's own thread, but I'm not sure.

LethalTexture September 28th, 2008 12:17 PM

I am an athiest myself, sims, and I agree with what you said one bit. I'm sorry that what you believe in is not my type of thing, and I stand by my reasoning for that. But I'm not going to attack you because of your beliefs; I respect them. Everybody is entitled to believe in what they want to, but my philosophy is that if you want to believe in something, believe in yourself.

If I was in your situation, what I would do iis ask the person kindly if they would mind stopping, because they are badmouthing your religion and it bothers you. If they don't listen, then either report them or ignore them.

Again, you are entitled to your beliefs even if I don't believe the same thing. I'm not selfish and I don't think it's fair to be abusive towards another's beliefs.

sims796 September 28th, 2008 12:20 PM

You don't even have to apologize for having different beliefs. That's what makes us who we are.

It's just that, the aetheist that I've seen on teh intarwebs are just hypocrites. Agian, only the few that I have seen, mind you, not as a whole. They say that they are tired of being treated bad for being aetheist, yet they are the first ones to poke fun at others. It's so annoying.

I'll do what you said, though. I shouldn't be afraid to say the word bible because some stupid children are acting up on a pogeymanz forum.

I hate that as well, sims. Forcing one's beliefs on someone else is one of the most annoying things you can do, IMO. I'm an atheist of sorts (I kind of do my own thing), but I never force my beliefs on anyone, nor should they do it to me. I don't think it's a problem that can be pinned on one specific belief system. It's really about the person. Some people feel the need to force their religion on others for whatever reason they see fit. It's a real character flaw and to me, it shows insecurity and just plain ignorance.

If someone mocks your beliefs, simply say "My beliefs are my own. I don't judge you for what you believe, so don't judge me." And if that doesn't do anything, ignore them. Arguing just makes it worse.

Joey the Cockroach October 5th, 2008 11:18 AM

Would you mind telling me how you lost those 4 friends? It would help. Please do not even think about "the worst". If you need anything or someone to talk to, I'm always here.

My long-term girlfriend dumped me for another guy, just because he earns more money then what I do, and apparently look's a lot more handsome.

I have been delving in self pity for a while now, simply because of that, and whatever anyone does to cheer me up fails, because I can't see the meaning of being happy anymore, however, I've read that people become happy after a while, and get over it, I'm just not sure if it's going to work with me.

Not to be rude or anything, but this is so cliche.

Anyway, it's hard to cheer somebody up in situations like this, for the reason you've already provided. Don't mean to break it to ya so hard, but yeah; it does take time. Which, in my opinion, is a good thing. Anything of great value causes much grief when it's gone.

So, all you can really do is think about the good times spent, and how happy you'll be when you find somebody ten times as great. Besides, if she's willing to give up your 'long term relationship' for a bit of cash and good looks, she's really not worth having. Sorry, but that's just the way I see it. :>

I am getting a little pissy at aetheist on the internet. I am a religious person. Not extremley religious, but it's up their. Now, I am not mad at what aetheist believes in, not one bit. If they don't believe in God, that's their good. Or their problem, in my point of view, but I keep that too myself. I am not a preachy sort of person, and I have never really met a Christian who is. Sure, Jahova's Witness is annoying on those rare occasions (even though they are nice dressers), but at the very least, I never go preaching about how you must go for God. And it's not that I don't accept what aetheist believe in, its that I just don't care. I don't care what muslims believe in, I don't care what Jews believe in, I know what I believe in ,and I stick with it. I don't have a problem, but I just don't care. There fore, if any other religion says anything, I don't get all huffy, with the whole "u r stewpid, believe in MEEEEE!!!!" crap.

So that is my problem with aethiest. Not all aethiests, mind you, just the ones that I have seen lately. For example, the second somebody mentions the bible, you get several posts either

1)making fun of the bible
2)Explaining why they are wrong, when it ISN'T PROVOKED OR ASKED
3)Basically flamming

So I ask, why? I have no problem with you, so what is your problem with me?

And this thread goes both ways, so if aethest are constantly getting bombarded by christians, when it ISN'T WARRENTED, that is just as bad, and worse for me, since it makes ME look bad. And I always look good.

I say this now because I've seen a few threads, where as soon as someone mentions their fiath, we get two or three posts basically calling him stupid, as if they are a bunch of children making fun of the different person. If you don't agree with something that someone has said, don't flame, or cal them stupid. don't mock their beliefs, because it makes you look small, not the other way around. It makes you look childish.

In my dorm room, I had the bible. My roomate had a book called "The aethiest bible". We were good friends, the bastard. Always, ALWAYS stealing my Kool-Aid.

Two notible examples of aethiest I respect are El Gofe & Jaimes, just to name two. They don't get bent out of shape.

And look at Jaimes profile for an example of a christian that makes me look bad.

This thread was a huge opinions thread, asking if one has any thought on the meaning of life. One person used the bible to back up his OPINIONS. And we get this.






Seriously, that isn't needed. The only reason discussing religion is taboo is because BOTH SIDES are walking on eggshells.

Everybody, on both sides (I mention Aethiests more because I am christian, and that behavior upsets me more, all religions are guilty of this) needs to grow up, and learn that their are far too many people for everyone to agree. While we don't have to agree, you must at least accept the fact that others has a different opinion, and while you don't have to respect their choices, respect the fact that they have them. Too many people on teh intarwebs for this level of intolerance & immaturity.


I don't know if this belongs here, I thought it deserved it's own thread, but I'm not sure.

Ah, I've had that sort of problem before!

Well, I'm agnostic, but there was this girl that I was arguing with, and all of a sudden, she seemed to be forcing me to become Christian, conversations like the following became frequent

In R.E I was stuck on something, and we were doing Christianity, now, considering she was in front of me, and she is christian, my initial reaction was ask her, considering there was nobody sitting next to me, and nobody behind me, so, she was the only person I could ask

'Hey ____ I don't get number 15, what's the answer?'
'Oh, you should be Christian then'

I was like:0____o did she just say that?
And she kept telling me the reason I got bullied for 8 years was because I wasn't Christian, and that I should find the light, so I kinda got annoyed, because I knew that being Christian wasn't the reason why I was being bullied!

Anyway, I understand what you're on about Sims, because I've been through it too! And, it annoys me when anybody forces their religion on other people, I don't mind them having religions, but sometimes I wish that they would keep it to themselves, because doing that is racist, and it pisses me off.

Oh, and, by the way, me and that girl are friends now, I dunno how, but we are! It makes me smile on the inside :D

Okay. Here it goes!


Alright, so there's this guy, Jarred, in my gym class. I think he's really cute but all my friends hate him. And now I have to ask him out due to a game I played on the bus.


So now I need to go to gym tomorrow, and ask him out. I hope he'll say yes, but I'm also hoping he'll say no.


I really really like him and I don't want to be alone at the dance. So I'm gonna try to encourage him to go.


But. He's also my friend too,


I found it kinda weird that whenever we played football, I was always on his team. And when he was captain, I was the first he chose. So. Idk.


PLease PLease help me.

Well it sounds like you like him quite a bit, but is there any particular reason why your friends don't? I mean, he can't be a horrible guy if you like him =/

Anyway, you should do what makes you happy. Don't hope that he won't want to go with you just because your friends don't like him. I know this sounds corny, but just do what your heart tells you to do ^_^

Your right. Also about the corny thing. I think they don't like him because he's more athletic than them(and me), he's also in the lower classes while we are all in the upper classes.....hmm....what else....I can't think of anything else.

And his other friends are also my friends and one of them is in my mom's class, soooo. And, you know what. I think I'm just gonna go up to him and ask him durring gym tomorrow!

O.K. Today, My MINT CONDITION Five Headed Dragon got stolen and when I found it, it was mildly bent. I now know who stole it. Should I charge him for the price (20.00) of the Five Headed Dargon or Something else?

Come on people! Work with me!

Well....Hm....

I'd normally say ask him for the money, but if he stole it and then returned it in a poorer condition than when he took it, something tells me he's not the honest type. I'd probably ask him for the money, and if he says no, just ask your parents if they'll give you the 20 dollars. And if that doesn't work, well, it's 20 dollars...not the end of the world. But it is a shame about your card =(

sims796 October 8th, 2008 5:05 PM

No problem, none at all. An apology can turn a bad mood around. Spur of the moment things can be regretful, so, y'know, look before ya leap!

WUT?! To hell!

If he stole your card, and ruined it, he oweas you that money. I don't care if it was worth $75 or a penny, if he stole it, taken it without your permission, he owes you. I always say,punishment is the greatest form of flattery:D

Seriously, he owes.

OK, there's a boy in my class called Billy and I have a crush on him. I had him round my house and he is my friend too! But I don't know whether to tell him. I'm kind of scared on what to do. Do you have any tips, because I keep dreaming about stuff and it's only a dream and when I think I can do it, I back away.

That's OK. You'll laugh at me:

I'm 15 and have an insanely massive crush on a girl I've known since I was 7; the 1st grade.

We're friends, so it's cool.

I told her through another close friend that's a girl. Maybe you can do that, too.

Memory October 11th, 2008 10:02 AM

I'd suggest not getting a friend to tell her. From my experience, the person respects you more if you tell them yourself. I wouldn't really hint it to him either, make it obvious... I mean, c'mon, he's a guy. :B /shotdown

If he doesn't feel the same way, well... you're only 10. Know that throughout your life guys will probably be lining up to ask you out. (that thought always helped me after my heart was crushed. XD)

Well, I've got a really annoying sleeping problem. I've usually been able to get to sleep within 15-30 minutes of laying down to go to bed. But lately, ever since I've been at college, it always takes more than a half an hour....and sometimes more. Last night, I was tossing and turning for like an hour and a half before I finally settled down. And I go to bed late, like 2 in the morning, so I have to be tired =/

I just want to get a good night's sleep >.<....Any suggestions?

Well sweetie, are you worried or anxious about something? Or you just lay down and your mind wouldn't stop wondering off in thought? Anyway, I had that same exact problem too. The way I got rid of it was just a day of intense fitness work out. I spent a whole day at the gym just exercising to the point where my body felt heavy. After a day of healing, my sleeping schedule and my ability to go to sleep went back to normal. I hope that helped sweetie. ^^

alright, I think theres this guy who wants to be friends with me, but theres one thing about him, he's the typical jock who sometimes acts like those loud egomaniacs and I usually don't like ppl like that, when he comes up to me, he acts like a totally different guy, and then when he's around girls, (they think hes a "hottie") he starts trying to flirt with them and they'll start enjoying it, he's very popular and when he's around me he'll start trying to get me to put down my books and let loose ( I am a bit uptight) but I don't know if theres a Reason he's trying to be friends with me no matter how much I'm trying to avoid him, I don't like to be mean to ppl otherwise I would right away turn him down but I'm not like that so I'm kinda confused.

it seems to me he likes you some, and he might be trying to "help you" as he sees it, since his lifestyle has worked well for him so far, as for the reason why he likes you, I can't say, that's something for you to think about, don't turn him down prematurely and find out if he really is trying to become your friend, if so, give him a chance

Ah the classic jock. I think I have a fairly good idea about who you're dealing with...although it's hard to pinpoint exactly the kind of person he is. But I don't doubt that he's one of those people that has a need to be liked by everyone. It sounds like his intentions are good, and I don't think he's purposefully trying to bother you, but kids like that need to be the center of attention. It sounds like you're at the exact point in your life where kids are really trying to find their niche. You know...what "social group" they belong in and all that. Speaking out of experience, the most honest advice I can give you is stick by your best friends and don't let guys like him get to you. They back off eventually, and honestly, if you really don't have that much in common with him, it's unlikely that you'll become friends anyway.

Don't worry about being uptight. I was the exact same way...And I always pulled myself away from the spotlight. But as you grow older and your confidence builds, you'll find situations where you can really be yourself. So just relax and concentrate on all the good things in life, and you'll do fine ;D

It sounds to me like he has good intentions. I say give the guy a chance, you may be surprised. If he tries to get you to do something that you feel uncomfortable doing or that you feel is wrong, just walk away. Being more social isn't a bad thing, unless you really don't want to. And you never know, this guy could have a very profound effect you. Good luck!

I know people like him. In my opinion, he is not trying to be your friend, but rather find a way to make fun of you and embarrass you. It is a bit hard to explain but the people like that usually do NOT have good intentions. I say just ignore him or you may end up looking like a fool.

I know it is hard to follow but this kind of thing happened to me recently. This senior acted cool to me and acted as if he wanted to be my friend. He later on just started making fun of me and being a complete douche.

Again, if he really, really seems like he wants to be your friend, then take a shot at it. Just keep your guard up and tell him none of your secrets.

Remember, 99% of the people in high school are douches.

FACT!

Yowza. Your best friend doesn't sound like much of a best friend at the moment. High school is a big transition, and people have many different ways of coping with the stress. Some people can deal with it...and others need to find other outlets to make them comfortable with themselves. I do hope your friend realizes that by acting this way, she is hurting your friendship. Try to sit her down and have a sincere conversation with her about her behavior. I can only hope that she will understand =/....Good luck!

Cherrim October 14th, 2008 9:39 AM

I think I'd suggest just letting her go for now, if she's not receptive to talking it out. She's probably just taking in high school and thinking she has to do everything differently because it's a new chapter of her life. Like Aurafire said, she's dealing with the huge transition in her own weird way. Chances are she'll come back to you on her own when she realizes that you don't need to hang out with new friends 24/7 in order to expand your horizons. And if not? Then she's not a very good friend for leaving you on your own and if she doesn't realize this on her own, nor changes her actions after you talk to her about it, then it's probably a sign you should move on, as hard as that may be.

I know what you mean. I do not even talk to my old best friend since he got a new girlfriend. Not to mention she is a total whore.

I have the same lunch period as him and haven't talked to him in a month.

I talk to his little brother on Xbox Live more then I talk to him.

High school sucks.

Alright well that guy was walking me to all my classes, even when I said " um I gotta go to the library and finish up my work and I need to be ALONE!!" he still followed me, and because today I was literally wearing all blue with an accent of white, he complimented it but what really annoyed me is when he said "can't you just wear a mix and match?" as in he wants me to change my style? well I like to wear matching colours and I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with him, my friends say I should be friends with him because hes a really "cool" guy but I'm kinda getting annoyed by him but then he'll start acting really nice all of a sudden, he even said (to my amuse) that he'll come and see me at my tennis tutorials that I'm gonna be taching for kids, and he says he already knows where it is cuz he saw me there the other day, now I'm starting to think he's a creeper.

Well that certainly add new light to the situation. Forget what I said last time. He's obviously kinda of a pain in rear to you, that can be handled very easily. Here's what you do. You look him straight in the eyes, and tell him that you appreciate whatever it is that he's trying to do for you, but that you can do without his advice and that you would prefer if he would just leave you alone. Now if that doesn't work, you take a more aggressive approach. You get right up in his face and tell him to back the [insert word of choice here] off and to keep his distance from you. I don't know how big you are, but it doesn't take size to be intimidating, it takes confidence. Good luck~

I'd have to agree with Midnight Beat...It might take a bit of an aggressive approach from him to get the message. Confidence is the key, and a little of it will go a long way in situations like this. Once this guy sees that you are very serious, he should back off.

Yu_&_Rei October 15th, 2008 4:23 PM

well I don't think I've ever been aggresive but I'll try, he also showed up to my tennis lessons while I was teaching, I got so shocked while I was teaching the kids that I dropped my racquet and the kids were throwing tennis balls at me to get me to continue teaching, I tell him kindly to leave which he does, when I finish teaching he comes back again!! (well the cat does always come back) but this time his other jock friend came along (the one I despise the most) and he starts mocking me for having too much expensive equipment in which my stalker gets him to shutup, luckily the bus driver kicked them off cuz they were too noisy. I see him at school today and I told him nicely that " we're too different and maybe we shouldn't continue being friends cuz you're friends are too much the opposite of me" and yet again he decided to sit beside me in my history class but I'm gonna take you're guys' advice and tell it to him straight with attitude and I will look angry. never done this to anyone before but I'll eventually have to do this sometime. thanks guys!!

Good for you! o/
Be careful though, you don't want it to get physical.

Yu_&_Rei October 15th, 2008 4:46 PM

I never get physical, although my one of my friends who is really strong (although his muscles don't show) might end up going after him if he finds out, I know that fighting never solves anything.

All right, good. I just wanted to make sure you didn't get the wrong idea from what I said. I feel really bad if something happened to you because you thought I meant you should start a fight with this loser.

Cynic Kaka October 15th, 2008 6:58 PM

Ok.

I guess I'll start with what happened at school a few weeks ago.


We were discussing diseases in school, and then ADHD came up, and my teacher told us kids with ADHD live shorter lies than others.

Ever since then, I've been upset, not getting any sleep, and wondering what happens after death. I just can't goddamn take it anymore! >_<

P.S.: No, I'm not mistaking ADHD with AIDS.

It's perfectly normal to be curious and perhaps even a little frightened about what happens after death. It's natural for all people to contemplate their own mortality and I think frankly something is wrong with you if you're not a little nervous about it. If it's really getting you down, I would suggest not worrying about things like that and concentrating on all the good things you have in life, like your friends and family. I've been there...and I was distressed just like you. Eventually, you need to find acceptance from wherever you see fit and not think about it anymore. It might be hard, but just knowing that your mind will be at ease is reason enough to think positive thoughts. Concentrate on those good vibes, and you'll be fine! =P

Samurai X October 20th, 2008 1:44 AM

Okay, I have a serious problem here that has to do with school. As you know there are people who tend to be more creative and have trouble with math and vice versa. Well, I am a person who likes facts, therefore I like subjects like science, math, and history where I am being taught with facts, numbers, formulas, and accounts from the past that are verifiable. The thing is that I am a horrible student when it comes to English, art and other subjects that have to do with abstract or philosophical ideas, though I love reading. I am passing my math, biology, chemistry and history classes with ease. On the other hand I have already dropped out of my art class, not painting and the like but the idea and theory of art, and I am failing English so bad I would have to get nearly every single point left in the semester to barely pass. How is it possible to fail this badly? I think that I am in an English class beyond my abilities but the thing is that I tested into this class so it technically wouldn't be, the problem though is that the test was mainly about sentence structure and the constructive properties of English and not the abstract and deeper meanings behind language. The main problem with this is that these classes are required in order for me to get my degree. My major is in biochemistry while my minor is in molecular biology/genetics as it goes hand in hand with my major. I don't want these classes to get in the way of my major and getting my degree but I am just plain not interested in them. I think that may be the big picture, I am just not interested. Anyway, I have asked around and people say I should just take a break on those classes while focusing on my bread and butter. What do you guys think about this? Any advice on this situation and how would one go about getting more interested in those subjects? I feel like just quitting some times, It's so frustrating to even think about it and at some times I feel depressed. I hate those classes, I wish there was a way around them.The worst part is that I already failed the same English class last semester, although with a different professor. I need your help PC, I really do.

English is a very factual subject, especially in the grammar section and so on. The easiest way to pass English is too listen real hard, or if your getting distracted by your friends as I do every class, just make sure you get your stuff in on time and not worry to much about it. You sound very smart so I reckon you'll be able to handle it.

If your having problems with classes you need for your degree, concentrate less on subjects you dont really need at all, even if you really like them.

Sorry if i'm not a help, im only in year 9 :P.

Aipomfan13 October 20th, 2008 6:43 AM

I've got a question and it seems to be a big problem.

I love to role play and i would love to join a rpg or create one, but my grammar sucks and I can't spell that great and I'm only 24, I grew up being in special led classes for that problem. I'm good at everything else like drawing, driving, working, taking care of my son. I just have a learning disorder and its really hard to work with Grammar and saying things the right way.

and people are already starting to treat me like I'm a 10 year old on here because of my spelling and grammar, and I really don't like it. I tired to join an RPG for sign up and they are saying my grammar sucks and only if I fix it then I can join. But what I type always seems fine to me and most of my friends can understand my bad spelling.

I'm pretty smart when it comes to things, just not smart at the wording of things, getting things right and so on. So um like what do I do about it leave what I got in my sign and hope people understand its not nice to make fun of people with disorders? because its like saying your making fun of someone whom has to stay in a wheel chair or someone that is mental and they can't help it. Some people can't help it, they try and try and try to make things right.

I just feel like every message board I go to its not right how people treat others because their spelling isn't 10000 % good like theirs and if they aren't they can't join their rpg group.

Cherrim October 20th, 2008 6:58 AM

Have you tried writing posts in Microsoft Word, or some other word processor that has spellcheck AND grammarcheck? At the very least, it should fix up your messages and maybe once you see the changes it asks you to make, you'll start getting the hang of how to write correctly. Or, alternatively, if you have a friend who excels at spelling/grammar, you could have him/her proofread your posts intended for RP and fix them up for you. (And, if possible, explain why some things need to be corrected so you can try not to make the mistake again in the future.)

Aipomfan13 October 20th, 2008 7:02 AM

but I don't have that program on the computer, after the computer crashed my fiance hasn't been able to find the Microsoft Word, I'd have to ask my Dad to make another copy of it.

But I still think its wrong for people to dis people just because of their spelling, not everyone is 1000% perfect and won't ever be as perfect as most people, and i just think its very wrong the way some people are.

Aurafire October 20th, 2008 7:26 AM

Do you make it clear that you have a learning disorder when you're signing up? I can't imagine that they wouldn't be understanding of something like that. If there are any real problems with your grammar, they are certainly minor, because you get your thoughts across quite well for someone with a learning disorder in my opinion...

I hope you have better luck with this in the future! ^_^

My mom tells me I have to get all A's or B's by the end of this week or I will have both of my computers plus my DS taken away... Can I do it?

Grades:
Science - A
Geography - B
P.E. - A
English - C
Spanish - C
Math - B

I got Geography, Math, and Spanish covered, but English is going to be hard. I just got another F on my assignment today at school and I only have 1 more chance for a low B.

Chances are, you, my friend, won't exist here for a long time :( .

Seriously, English WILL be hard. I take English 1 grade beyond my general grade, and Math 2 levels beyond my default. And I believe you take ELA 8th. If you live in Texas, my tips will probably get you into the Middle B's.

Ask for Extra Credit assignments

Ask for Re-tests in tests you got under a 65. The highest you will get according to Law is a 70.

Turn in those damn assignments you have missing!

If all else fails. Watch the Beginning of Transformers: The Movie.

Rise Against October 23rd, 2008 7:57 PM

There is this person, who I can not stand. I do not know how to tell him to just back off because I am not mean like that. Also, I think that I am his only friend.. how should I tell him? I don't want to do it in a way that will make him feel bad or anything.. I just cant stand him and don't know how to tell him to back off. I Can't go anywhere without him, except my house.

Also, my friend is feeling realy bad because her boyfriend broke up w/ her. I tried to help her, but nothing seemed to work. She still likes him, but he-well I don't know how he feels..-. I also do not want to do anything to get him mad because he is my cousin, but then again I do not personally like my cousin,but we are family..

I know how you feel about that kind of thing. It's better to just straight out tell him. In real life, I used to be exactly the same way. I didn't like telling someone to back off for whatever reason and I didn't really understand why I couldn't do that. But eventually, people just pissed me off far more than I ever really could be pissed off normally, which surprises even me, and I just snapped. Now I don't have a real problem offline telling someone how I feel about them. Even if that may sound rude and all, it's very true. But I don't have the need to tell anyone unless they do what you have a problem with. Reason I responded to this is because I relate exactly to this and was just in a problem with this a few days ago actually. You could say:

* "Quit followin' me."
* "How would you feel if someone was up your ass 24 hours a day?" in a tone that is questionable and he would think it's a real question.
* ""name here", you're really annoying and I don't like you. Go away." and then smile nicely (better effect if your eyes are closed when you smile). But he may take that as a joke. :[

There really... isn't a nice way to tell someone to leave you alone, though. So, unless you don't want to do any of those, I'm afraid I don't have any other advice other than to try to avoid him. :B

Don't do anything. Some people look at something like that as you trying to get involved in something that isn't your business. Along with that, nothing seems to work for her anyway. Sometimes people just need to ride things out.

Yeah, but it is getting even worse. He got a new gf-then dumped her,she also my friend.. and now another gf-she also my friend- and I really don't like to see my friends sad. I think he is going to let down his current Gf and break up with her. Also, his first gf and his current gf used to be friends, but now they do not like eachother.. well I guess in a way you are right, I know a lot of people who hate eachother one day then the next day are best friends... I really do not know what to do..

Spinor October 24th, 2008 8:11 PM

On your first problem:

The exact thing happened to me, I was just trying to be friends with this girl, but then she said she felt that I was following. It sucked badly, I really liked her :(.

It depends on his personality. He SHOULD understand if he's normal, but... if he's not... you know... not straight...

Just tell him you feel like he follows you too much.

If you look around this thread, you might find other answers that may match your question. :3
It also would have been better if you posted here too instead of made your own thread.

Unless the other boy if your friend, don't worry about it. You can try to make him like someone else though...

Do you know this other guy? If not, then go for it. It's a dog eat dog world out there, bud. If this other guy happens to be your friend, then you should probably talk to him about it. Or let the girl decide who she'd rather hang out with, if either of you.

Azzurra October 31st, 2008 6:15 PM

Okay, here is my problem.
People have been acting like hypocrites at my college, and have been telling people not to bully others, but they bully people themselves.

I'm 19 years of age, and they're 22 or so, so it's hard for me to tell them to stop because they don't listen to a nobody like me, any ideas?

txteclipse November 1st, 2008 3:37 PM

I wouldn't give a crap about age differences. You seem to be acquainted with these people fairly well if you know this much about them: I'd recommend just telling them to knock it off. Show them that telling people not to bully and then turning around and doing it themselves makes them look like morons (try not to say it like that, but you get the idea).

Well my parents are breaking up and now 3 of my brothers and 1 litle sister stay with my mom and 1 brother with my dad.

I'm kinda emotionaly stressed with it.

its always hard to go through that. My friend lives in Germany cuz her parents seperated. Well, talk to your mom and dad about sending each on over on weekends and holidays. And if your mom can't be trusted, then ask your grandparents to take in some of your other siblings.


My Problem-

My boyfriend Jarred, and his friend Jon, have been buds forever! And now Jon says he will only be Jarred's friend if he breaks up with me. And I don't wana break up their friendship. Jarred told me not to worry at all but I am! Please help! Im really emotionaly stressed!

It sounds like Jon is jealous, has he given a reason for not liking you? My bet is you shouldn't worry about it, Jon says that but if they really are good friends then he won't stop being a pal to Jarred no matter what, they may not talk to each other for a few weeks. If Jarred says not to worry about it then you shouldn't, it is his friend after all.

My problem:
My family have seperated themselves alot more recently, my mum and dad have been divorced for 10 years so usually I just spent half the time with each side of their family but now my Dads side of the family has fallen apart, one of my uncles is now living in Saudi with his family and the other wants nothing to do with anyone but he will see only me and dad on occasions but not christmas; my aunty has cut herself off and nobody knows where she is. My dad travels from East to West England to see me but that means we aren't with my nan (his mum) so she has to spend christmas alone. I don't know whether I should go and stay with my dad to spend christmas with her and my dad at her house but not spend any time with my mum, or if I should stay where I am, not see my nan at all (who I get along with well) so I can spend time with my mum and then see my dad at the hotel. To make things worse my mum has decided she dosn't want to spend christmas with her mum or siblings anymore who I also get along well with.

So I have to pick out of 4 options and it is really hard to choose: Spend christmas with my mums mum and my mums siblings, with just my mum and my brother and see my dad a little bit at the hotel, with my dad at the hotel and see my mum a little bit at home or travel to East England to spend it with my dad and nan.

I hate this and it ruins my christmas because my family can't get along.

Thanks for the advice. And Jon is jealous. He wants Jarred to date his sister.


Result to ur prob.:


Seems like your in quite a fix my friend. But, if your family can't get along, have you ever tried to spend time with them and ask them why they can't get along? If that can't help, I'm sorry

Here's some tips:

- Hang around with her more, ask her to come round your house or something
- Walk her home if you can
- Be kind, help her with homework or something
- Don't be too frontal, because then she might take it as a joke, or get scared and loose sleep over it
- Be subtle, slide in a few minor hints
- Be yourself, because no girl likes to find out that the person she likes is fake.

I hope that helped, even if it is a little.

Your family won't hate you if you don't spend Christmas with them, so spend it with whoever you want. I mean, your parents chose to get a divorce; you might have had some say in the matter, but it was ultimately their decision. By breaking up, they've accepted the fact they might not get to see you during Christmas. Same with all your other family members who've 'abandoned' you guys.

So don't feel bad about 'picking favorites'. I know this may be harsh, but they brought it upon themselves. It would be totally unreasonable of them to hold it against you.

Ask her on a date. How's she suppose to even know you're interested if you don't make the first move? If it goes well, then... good for you! If it doesn't, then at least you can say you tried, and move on.

Theres this girl that likes me, I know cause alot of people told me and she told them, plus theyre are trustable, and I think I like her too, but she never talks to me anymore, and acts as if she hates me, plus shes trying to avoid me.

What do I do.
