I need Help!

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 =(
 
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.
 
Needing Advice.

Hello. My name is Lucy I'm 10 years old and I live in the UK and I have a big question. Obviously, it goes through mostly everyones life so don't laugh at this or be nasty. 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.
 
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. ^^
 
I'm having this problem with tuning my 11-string bass. Anyone else have anything similar to this problem?
 
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!
 
Well me and my best friend started high school a couple of weeks ago and shes been going off with people and leaving me alone. I guessed i should make my self involved but she just pushes me away.
Me and my friends told my tutor and he hada word with her on monday but now she just yells at me for doing the right things for me and my friends. I told my mum and dad and they said they are gonna have a word with her mum and she still acts like an over sized baby!!!
HELP!!!!

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!

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.
