My friend got open heart surgery and now he has a long scar with stitches over his heart and someone started a rumor that he got that scar in a knife fight a he was really upset when he found out about the rumor but now he kinda has a reputation at school and people have started asking for details about the fight. Should he tell them that there was no fight and that its from surgery or should he ride this one out and earn some high school clout?

It started out us getting free coke from people at the club, then we started buying our own every weekend and now my friend has started buying and doing it during the week in the morning too. I don't know at what point I should intervene or say something. Or maybe I am over reacting and it's normal.

we were best friends for a while, although she had a tendency to lie a lot. I was told she was talking about me behind my back and almost every girl in my class confirmed. I confronted her and she told me that everyone had lied to me and all the girls were against me trying to hurt me behind y back. She also decided to tell me that some boys called me an ugly Mexican girl and her a thick hot Latina on the way my birthday party, in which she ignored me the whole car ride to text her boyfriend. I was at her ex bff's house and when she found out she told me to not hang out with her and got made at me, even though she hangs out with her more than she does me now. Whenever she tells stories to people, she makes me sound like the mean, stupid, or bad guy even though I'm not. I really like a boy and she told him the same day I told her and asked her not to, she promised me she wouldn't then lied about it. After that, I told her that I still liked him ( I hadn't told anybody this and she knew that) and she called me an idiot. I was in a phase of self harming and to do it. She made me feel bad about myself and like I was ugly. She told me that no one likes me bc they either hate me or they hate her so they must hate me. I know we aren't best friends anymore, but is she a toxic friend? Should I still be around her? Thx Is she a toxic friend? didnt mean for that last update my bad guys

There's going to be a wrestling show being filmed at a new arena where I'm from. A friend of mine from work invited me to go with him. The thing is, he wants me to pay him $150 for the seat next to him that he paid for. He didn't have anybody really in mind to go with him to the show before he ordered the 2 tickets online. To me, when you invite someone to any kind of show like a concert, it's suppose to be your treat and not have that person back you back.

We have been friends for 3 years however there will be no contact unless I instigate contact either text, email or talking in person. I always plan the hangouts and am always the one to make the suggestion and when we do hangout it is very brief and he always seems to be in a rush to get home and get.more involved with his other friends. When he does visit I feel it's out of convince or duty since we always try to meet when he comes home for the summer. I have always put more effort into the friendship and even though he says he will try he never emails, calls or texts. I have never been included in birthday celebrations, this year he went on holiday and told me he would message me as soon as we got back so we could hang out and I could give him his gift. That was a month ago, and since then no texts, no calls nothing. Now I think he has gone back to college (in another city) and not told me. I have no idea what to do. I thought I should mention that he began the friendship with me first.

And public funding of our schools?

Despite all this they say im not gang material ? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME ? WHAT AM I MISSING? I REALLLLYY WANNNA BE A BLOOD WHY WONT THEY JUST LET ME JOIN. I FEEL sOO ANGRY. PLEASE HELP ME oUT GUYS ???

We started off as good friends hanging out together and playing PlayStation etc. But then a'll of sudden they started calling me names like ''gay'' and '******'' even though I thought we were friends. At first I thought it was a joke and didn't say anything but then it got worst. I came to school and they started to hit me on the head and slap me whilst calling me gay but I ignored it and foolishly allowed it. Then after that I texted one of boys t that called me gay and sent a bunch of texts telling him to stop and telling him how I feel, and he said he would stop. But the next day he had taken screenshots and sent them to my other friends embarrassing me and meaning I got made fun of even more. After that though he had taken it to a whole new level he recently posted a private video of me on Instagram embarrassing me in front of everyone I know. I have reached the point were I don't know what to do and am getting so p***** off that I am honestly going to go insane. Can someone help me and tell me what do to because I have let this go too far.

I've been bullied my whole life. I'm an adult now and people still won't leave me alone. Even if I say something to them they still won't stop. When people see me it's like they go into predator mode. They look at me like a predator.

I used to have so many friends but since moving country many years ago, I have struggled to make friends. I've gone through getting bullied on many occasions and have since built my own wall as a defence. I act cold and I don't tend to smile near strangers, I pretend not to care about anyone. However, i tend to smile back just a little bit if a stranger walking past smiles at me. The question is, am I struggling to make friends because of the wall and the fake personality that I have created? I am scared that if I go back to the way I was, then people will try to start bullying me again. I seem to have become an easy target since moving and now people don't know how to act around me or avoid me since I've started acting cold. Which to me is still better than being targeted. What is the secret to making friends!? I want to be approachable but by the right kind of people. Thanks

We ve been dating for 2 months and he talked about his ex a lot. They got out of a 4.5 year relationship 6 months before I met him. For context he s white and shes asian . She has a very lavish lifestyle. He told me all about her and how she celebrates her birthday all month and had similar set up to an advent calendar. One gift per day for the entire month. He bought her louis vuitton purses, paid for them to stay at the ritz carlton, took her for steak and lobster in manhattan, bought her a tiffanys necklace, diamond earrings etc. She had an entire room as a closet. Very high maintenance, self absorbed etc. She has a small dog with a diamond collar that wears a tux and she carries in her purse. I know this is judgmental but just hearing about her was sickening. He talked about her so much that I looked at her instagram. She considers herself an "influencer" and has photos of her in miami, paris, new york, hong kong etc, photos of her on yachts, drinking champagne, photos of her closet etc. If the guy I m dating was attracted to this type of female should I just break up with him, people like her nauseate me. He told me he spent over $6k on her for her birthday month last year. He makes like 50k a year so I don t know how he made that work. Her parents pay her rent and bills. She s 29 and seems like the Asian Paris Hilton to me. Yet this guy asks me for half when we order take out pizza, down to the tax. She looks like the typical high maintenance asian photos (requested by y/a members) https://www.instagram.com/stylemaven828/

It will maybe sound ridiculous but since i was born i have always been the oposite side of things. My friends attended to parties and flirted with girls but i am not i used to sit at home watching a movie alonebecause i am an introvert. My family always went to a vacation but i stayed home alone, and this happened with life too. I struggle to find a job and i can hardly start my lifewhile all of my friends are easily start their lives. I am 19 years old now and i don't know if it's normal or should i need to do something about it. Is there maybe something wrong with me because nothing comes naturaly to me? Me and my mom always argue about this. Why can't i be like my friends they have job and a life and everything.What should i do?

A friend of mine keeps asking me to date his ex wife. He says he will set me up with a date with her. I wonder how he could do that? He says "She is beautiful (this is true because I have met her) and she is great in bed and has a wonderful personality". I thought that is odd. Why should a guy try to get his ex wife a date. If she is that great, why isn't he still married to her. Then I saw the light. He is paying alimony and if his ex wife remarries he will not longer have to pay alimony. Guys, would you go on a date under these circumstances?

I am the only girl in my High School AP Physics class. My classmates are my friends and we like to gather at my home and jointly do on our homework. It is a very hard class with lots of homework. Some of the problems we have a hard time solving. One of my classmates said let's ask you mom Jill for help. He did and mom instantly came up with the answer. They did this several times and mom always came up with the answer. This was amazing to my classmates. One of them said to me "How is it possible that your mom is so beautiful and so smart? That does not compute". Is that a compliment for my mom or an insult to all women? YOUR OPINION PLEASE.

Friend blocked me from instagram because i wouldnt like some of her pictures. She said "as a friend i believe you should of like them all" i think shes cray cray what should i do?

I'm 21 years old and about six months ago I was having a hard time in college and I was being bullied by other people. I also was going through a tough time with my family. I had anxiety and depression and it was hard for me. Then I told my friend who's 22 about what I was going through and I also told her that I had hard childhood of all the bullying and stuff. Then I told her I was thinking about suicide she started to cry. Then I told her it's gonna be okay and then I said don't tell nobody and she said okay. Well it turns out she went to the Counselors office and told them what was going on and called me down and had the police come. And they just asked me if I'm okay and what's wrong they also said do I need to go to the hospital. They were concerned then I told my friend why'd you do that she said I was scared of you wellbeing and I couldn't stop crying and I was worried about you. She also said I'd rather have you be mad at me and safe then something bad happens to you. She said I'm her best friend and she loves me. Okay I apologize that this is long but basically the main question is this did she do the right thing into telling the counselors and the police that I had those thoughts?

I met Tara in Ithaca ny in 2013 and she moved in 2014 we talked until 2017 and she now lives in Arizona. And she stopped following me on Instagram and in one account she even blocked me and she won't Accept my Facebook friend request

Nsfw: I was giving my friend oral while he was playing on my playstation. At one point he stopped focusing on what he was doing and had deleted all of my progress on my game. I know it sound like I'm overreacting or that this is a joke but I'm extremely upset by this because I spent hours into that game and he knows how serious I take my gaming.
