So basically I was walking my dog today in my neighborhood and I'm 15 and while I was walking I passed by a car that was just parked in the middle of the road and when a man inside saw me he got out of the car and ran to his trunk so I was a little creeped out and went back home and then the man got back in his car and drove up to me and asked if I needed a ride and I said no clearly I was walking my dog and he begged me so I tried walking away and he drove back up to me and kept asking me to get in and eventually he screamed at me to get in the car and by then I ran home and now he's in front of my house and my parents aren't home

So basically I was at his house and he is this annoying French kid and kept singing over and over and I kept telling him to stop and he kept laughing so I slapped his face and then he slapped my face back and I screamed at him to stop so he punched me in the face

My male classmate told me and the rest of his friends in math that in order to get perfect grades he cheats off me. I've seen him do this and I have even put wrong answers and he just goes with it. I told the teacher and he doesn't care because he and the student are friends. What should I do?

My coworker is begging me to cover her shift tommorow so that she can go to a birthday party. I have sooo much homework and i've been working all week :( I told her no and she kept begging me but I just can't. Now she's p*ssed at me because I "have nothing to do tomorrow" and won't talk to me

Shes one year older to me and she used to always smile at me and laugh at all of my jokes but she usually only talked to me when no one else is around but I heard her whisper to her friends that I was dumb and weird and i know she was talking about me because she said my name RIGHT in front of me and it hurt me so much i havent talked to her since what should I do?? :(

I have a friend who went to London to visit a friend and she had to tell people that she was Canadian. If she said she was from the states, she would get very poor service wherever she went. One restaurant even refused to serve her. This was about 15 or 20 years ago. Is it the same now? If I go to England do I have to lie and say I am from Canada?

Nobody wants to **** her.When do people mature ?At 40 s?

Hi, so this new girl came to my school and she s....a little weird. We re both best friends because we both dream of traveling the world. However, she s kinda demonic in a way. She thinks everyone is racist. She s socially awkward and makes any event we go to weird. and she NEVER pays for anything. For example, she follows me when I tell her no. We both decided to stay after school to decorate for homecoming and she wanted to come with me to get a snack. We went to the store and she got a soda. I paid for my stuff and then the lady asked my friend to pay for her drink. She looked at me and didn;t even look the clerk in the eye and was like "I can t , I don t have money". So obviously I paid for her drink AND snacks. She always tells me "I ll pay you back!" never does. And this has happened on numerous occasions. She wants to go to town with me but never has money. She s 18 with no license and doesn t even have a job. And I m younger than her and I have both of those things. Is she just using me or does she have a...problem? And..I have to admit, I am way too nice. Every time I pay for her stuff, I say ohhh no problem, don't worry about it. She's my only friend and I don't want to yell at her...And I find it awkward to say "Before we go, you have your own money right?" What should I do??

We broke up and when I tried going back to him he said he wouldn't forgive me and wouldn't ever allow himself to have feelings for me again. But he keeps looking at me when I go to church where he'a deacon and whatever he does he glances over and when I've caught him a couple times he's smiled and also said he when he walked past. Provided he was so offended and hurt it's weird that he acts like this. Its been 4 months. Could he be just looking out of simple curiosity and the fact I go to church thinking i'm going to see him? and not cause he's interested?

if he does not want to talk to me or even to be my friend why does he even watch my snapchat?I mean he does not have to watch them and my snapchat is just quotes i find

I added like 4 girls last night on snapchat and all of them left me open. I sent snaps to all of them like "what's up" and they just leave it open without response. So what was the point of putting their snapchat in their instagram bio, accepting my follow request, and adding me back on snapchat if they don't want to talk?

When I post one of my teachers slapped my face, someone always reports the question and I have to appeal and yahoo accepts the appeal and posts it back and keeps saying these people will have less influence. Why do people be mean and keep reporting if their just going to have less influence?

I'm one of those "I wanna talk to people, but I don't" I want to because I'm bored, but everyone I talk to are boring with their topic choices. I still talk to them anyway because I don't wanna not talk to them just because my boring judgy brain is bored by them. Idk people aren't stimulating enough I guess

I feel ignored and isolated in society. I feel like a walking dead woman. In social situations I am either ignored or ostracized/picked on. I am never allowed to express myself or engage in stimulating conversations with people because of how I am treated. I know that if I had a lighter complexion things wouldn't be this way. I recently thought of suicide by letting the car run inside of the garage so I could die of carbon monoxide poisoning but I heard this method is painful and could kill anyone who tries to rescue me. what should I do?

I am expected to be at a board meeting (I'm expected to go to one a month and there is only one during this month) and it is on my daughters birthday. I already had to go to one on my son's birthday this year. He turned one. We did have a family weekend party with him, but it isn't the same. My daughter is turning three. This was also a meeting that was rescheduled. The meeting is in the evening so the old dr. appointment excuse probably wouldn't work. Also, I would like to have the excuse in place like this was planned in advance before the meeting was rescheduled. Lastly, for any of you that say just tell your boss it is your daughter's birthday, it won't work. He won't care.

Hi, I am a 16 year old girl, so this girl I have had a problem with back in July, had transffered to my school today, she got mad because someone told her that I was talking bad about him, and saod there was going to be a problem if I were to say anything else, that freaked me put, I blocked her on everything, but someone told me today she was here, and I am really freaked out, because shes friends with a lot of people who already hate me, and I don't want anything being said at all about me, i'm scared her and her bf are going to make lies about me and make me look like a freak. I am having a lot of anxiety, shes best friends with 2 girls that hate me already, i'm just scared about this, I don't need any rumors about me. Her bf has already caused me to have emotional problems. Please give me advice so maybe I feel a little better.

Pre-high school years? High school years? University years? 30s decade? 40s?

Party - Go to club/concerts Quality time with friends - Go to a cafe Date - Take her to dinner Being Romantic - Take her to long drive (car, fuel. etc) Sex - Need a room with no roommate, or a hotel All these things are expensive. One time at either of these, will end up using all the allowance my parents give. Ofcourse spending my parents' money on friends and girls is a terrible idea. And yes, I do refrain from doing so. But in order to balance that, I have to compromise my social life. I'm really gregarious and love meeting new people. This financial limit is kinda holding me back. I haven't tried the 'cheap thrills' Okay, maybe going to a garden or an amusement park, but what about privacy if I want to take a girl. I need to know what exactly is involved in the cheap thrills. Which of them can I use to take girl to?

Basically my guy friend who is a pessimisst and always criticizes everything blocked me on everything and stopped talking to me all because I said that i'm proud of my ethnicity?? Also he doesn't like when I joke and says that i'm careless and that everyone dislikes me. I'm so done with him. I would always help him and give him advice when he talked about his problems. He's so ungrateful and annoying. I just want to yell at him and slap him. How do I get over him?

e.g. Sam harris, Richard Dawkins, Pz Myers, etc.

My best friend and I tell eachother everything and ee hang out all the time. We have been best friends since 3rd grade and last year me and her graduated high school early. Me, my best friend, and my brother are going to the same college and recently found out that they like eachother. I saw my bother texted her and I asked her about it and and she said that while I was in my classes, they would hang out with eachother and they are thibeing about dating. I feel so betrayed and now everything's awkward. My bother is 19 and has never had a gf before. My best friend is 16 and has never had a boyfriend either but she had several sexual partners. It makes me uncomfortable thinking about their relationship. I know that if they have a relationship it won't last. I feel like when it ends, I'll lose either my brother or my best friend or both. Right now I feel so betrayed by both of them. They both kept it a secret from me.

One of my friends asked multiple people including me if he could use our bank account for a money transfer. He said he asked his parents to use their accounts. He was drunk and said somehow his parents found out about what he was trying to do and tried to blame me

I'm bestfriends with my old instructor, she and I have developed a special bond.. her sibling used to be my instructor all through childhood. He passed away years ago, when he passed it hurt both of our hearts really bad. I was extremely close to him, she knew it too as he would always tell her about me. We are kindred spirits, she is a best friend to me.. i write her letters a lot, giving encouragement if not telling her a story of something I have done, all good stuff.. some letters are deep, others are ligh and sweet.. This letter i wrote her was a deep one, describing how special her brother was to me as an instructor. How I found out about her brothers passing. How i felt that day and how bad it affected me. How I felt as a student losing the one teacher who meant the most to me, how he was not just my teacher but my friend.. in the end of the letter i told her (were bith religious) how i thanked god for every happy time i had with him, how its not about what our loves ones leave or how they leave but what they leave behind on us.. which are the happy times and how we should always be thankful for them .. shes a very serious reserved lady, very strong lady who doesn t ever let things get to her.. she sent me a message saying "I cried reading your letter" which is a big deal because she hardly ever cries. It was a letter that would get someones heart but was it a bad thing that she cried? Why did she?... am i a bad person for causing her to cry

My birthday is this Saturday, and I suck so I haven't made any plans. Tonight I've been brainstorming and I thought maybe I could have two of my friends over, but I'm not sure if they'd be able to make it. They're probably asleep right now so I can't ask them. Hopefully they'll respond in the morning. I want them to stay the night. But anyway, if they aren't able to make it for some reason, does anyone have any ideas of what I could do? My family isn't all that wealthy, and we often struggle financially, so nothing too expensive, please. I want to do something that 13 year old girls would find fun or entertaining. And I'm not a really movie person, so please don't suggest that. I also don't have a lot of toys or games either. Thank you. Okay so I just found out one of the girls isn't going to be able to make it. Haven't heard back from the other yet

There's this girl from another department in the company I work for. She works as a receptionist to the general manager, while I'm just a mere assistant department head. Anyways, my direct supervisor always tries getting her to do favors for us. She seems to always refuse to do them. She gets angry when my supervisor talks to her since he comes off as rude. She caught me staring at her, so I looked the other way and walked away. She's divorced and has one young son. She's 27, and I'm 24. She's usually upset when I see her. I enjoy baking, so I thought of making her homemade chocolate chip brownies, sometime. I don't know if I should, since she does hate my department and I don't want her to think worse of us, because of me.

ok so I'm a guy in my second year of college. I go to college in the same town I grew up in and so do a bunch of my old high school friends that I'm still friends with. I have a twin sister...she doesn't go to my school but she still lives in our hometown. back in middle school and high school, my sister was kind of weird. she was crazy (not rebellious crazy but just weird, I can't really explain it). she's changed a lot since then though...she's a completely different person now. the other day my high school friends started talking about my sister. they were saying mean stuff like, "remember her? she was cute but so weird and crazy" so I stood up for her and told them that she isn't like that at all anymore but they didn't believe me. I want to prove them wrong, so I'm thinking about taking my sister to a party that my best friend is throwing on saturday night. all my old high school friends that she hasn't seen in like 4 years will be there, and I want them to see my sister and know that she's changed because they were being so mean about her....but would that be weird to take my sister to a party?? its a frat party

we have been friends since we were born bc my parents are best friends with her parents.. but anyway, we are freshman in college now.. we both didnt have a lot of friends she made new friends who party and drink and do weird stuff, so she also drinks and party.. at first i thought it was funny and cute and amusing but thats the only thing she talks about. drinking, sex, party, drugs.. its getting annoying she brags about drinking too much and throwing up all over, she brags about almost getting raped, she brags about getting hickies?, she brags about making out with boys, she brags about buying 10 bottles of alchol, she brags about drinking with her friends, its very annoying tbh... and also now, most of the things she talks about start with "MY FRIEND MY FRIEND MY FRIEND" and it just annoys me bc i dont care what her friends are like, idk them, i will never see them... i usually dont reply if she talks about her friends but.. she does it all the time.. i hate it.. but also.. shes my only friend and i have so much memories with her so its not like i can just not be her friend anymore? idk if im just sensitive.. i guess i am a little jealous that she made a lot of friends.. but it just annoys me so much beacuse she only brags and talks about those things again and again im getting tired of it... im not sure if this is what usually other people talk about with their friends? i also hate it when she facetimes me when shes drinking with her friends and it is so obvious she is pretending to be drunk.. and im just in my room awkwardly watching her do weird things.. and i just feel like shes trying to brag about her new social life bc she knows i dont have one..

I've been going to this store and I've been talking to this cashier. My mother and I talk to him while we are in line paying for our order. Sometimes he'll ask me what's new etc so I told him I was going to massage therapy school. And then he said I could practice on him. So I gave him my number and he said he would call. So he called me asking me to give him a massage and I told him I wasn't doing massage anymore and that I was in Dental school now. He asked me if I still remembered some things I've learned. So he asked me to hang out but I don't know what the man wants. I told him I'd think about it and call him back so I called him back and told him we could hangout next week. He said he'd call me back in the next few days to let me know since he's currently doing physical therapy. We are both 30 I just don't know what this man wants.
