i was going to invite 6-8 of my close friends. we are very outdoorsy and athletic. not too expensive but something unique. also we live in suburbs but super close to city so we could go in city or mountains.

Ok, so, my 2 friends are with me now and want to give my other friend a spa day. What do we need to get and what do we need to do? Thnks! Luv, Polexia, Brooke, and Pandora

Over the past year I ve become very close with this boy ( I am a girl and we are both in high school) and I consider us to be best friends. I can t deny that I have romantic feelings for him. I m not sure whether or not he knows this. I m having trouble because his behavior changes so drastically and randomly all the time. Sometimes when we are talking he ll be telling me about how much he loves me and how amazing I am. Then instantly he becomes very uninterested, distant, and honestly seems angry. I ve noticed that whenever I talk about another boy I have a crush on it makes him angry, but other times he does this and I can t figure out what I said to make him do this. Sometimes I feel like he has a crush on me, other times I feel like I just plain annoy him, and sometimes I feel like he s leading me on purposefully to be mean. It s gotten to the point where sometimes I m afraid of saying anything because it might make him angry. Every time I get in a fight with someone he is also friends with he always picks my side and openly defends me. But I still feel like I make him mad a lot and I don t know what I m doing wrong. I m usually very good at understanding people but when it comes to him I don t have a clue. And that upsets me because he means so much to me. Is there anybody who s had a similar experience or can relate with him and can explain to me why he s doing this? What is he thinking? What does he think of me? :( any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

I had not seem him in over 3-4 months. He is a close friend that I have known for a long time. I always give crappy hugs and wanted to give a good one, because I am not sure when I will see him. I read online a good hug is a 7 sec or 20 sec hug. After I finished hugging him he told me to feel his heartbeat. It was beating really fast. I was like what the heck in my head because mine was not beating like that. Any ideas?

I have no problems with any of my husband's guy friends, I like them all. The problem is most of their wives. They all hang out together and I feel that in group situations they exclude me/we have nothing in common. I can tell they all like each other and just don't mesh with me. This stops me from wanting to go out on couples dates and group situations when the wives are there. If the wives are not there and its just the guys there is no problem. I don't know what to do about this awkward situation moving forward. For example we just got invited to a christmas party and i am dreading going. Any advice?

My ex is part of a social organisation. We met through a mutual friend at a social event 2 years ago. We became friends and then we dated for a few months last year. Our mutual friend invited me to a party just before Christmas being organised by the social organisation that my ex is very involved in and probably organised. I haven't spoken to him since we broke up. I broke up with him because it wasn't working out. It was mutual and amicable. I was going to contact him a month or so afterwards because I stilled cared about him as a friend but I decided against it. I feel if I went to this party it would be very awkward. I also don't want to get in his way and ruin his party. The mutual friend that invited me lives abroad and is home for Christmas so she invited another friend and I to the party even though we are not involved with the social organisation. My other friend is going. I would like to go as it would be a good night out but I feel like I would get in the way. What should I do?

Hi I am a girl and im turning 17 tomorrow. I always get really stressed around my birthday because I feel pressured to do something fun. When I turned 16, my parents offered to throw me a big party but i turned it down because i dont have many friends and am not close enough to my class to invite them all. I ended up just going to dinner with 3 friends and my family and it was kind of my lamest birthday ever. I had always done a big party before that but since i lost friends in high school, I didnt know enough people to do that anymore. I have been depressed about my 16th birthday for a while and i dont want the same thing to happen this year. Does this sound good to you: 2 days after my birthday, one of my best friends and I are attending a concert for my favorite band (even though its on a school night) as my parents bday present to me. On my actual birthday, after school I think i'll ask two of my best friends to go get pizza at a restaurant with me. And then maybe 2 weeks later ill do like a very small slumber party or something? Does that sound lame? Do you think i'll regret it?

I never tried to hide my Facebook from her. I told her the password once so she could message a friend of mine back because my hands were full and never bothered to change the password. This all started when an old friend asked me to help him hook up his t.v to his computer and have some beers after. I hadn't seen the guy in about a year so we made planes for me to come over. When I told my girlfriend about it she seemed sad. But when asked why she said it had nothing to do with me hanging out without her, that it was about her not wanting to be home alone with my mom ( my mom lived with us and at that point in time they didn't get along). I felt sorry for my girlfriend so I invited her to come with me. Over the next month the friend kept pestering me through Facebook to help him with other stuff and hang out but I was working too much to make definite planes. And then one day I stop hearing from him. I actually didn't notice because i was so busy. Now its over a year later and I am going through my friend list and I cant find this friend or his girlfriend. Turns out they had been blocked along with several other people from work who tried to friend request me. When I confronted her about it she broke down in tears and apologized, she thought that this friend was bad news and that he was going to try to get me to steal cars with him. This is true, but it doesn't give her the right to block the other people, mostly women. I feel so betrayed.

I live in a small town and my friend and I have been best friends for years. He's always been wild compared to me, but now we're 16 and he's reached my limit. He has no motivation for anything and smokes weed all day. I don't think anything is wrong with weed but he's turned it into his life now. I don't even like being around him anymore. He doesn't go to school, and he is always asking to stay the night with me and he sleeps in the same bed and I don't get any sleep but then he says I have to stay so he'll wake up and go to school but I know that's not my problem to deal with. My two other friends I hang out with are in college and I have nobody else. I have other friends but nobody that I hang out with outside of school. I don't want to stop being friends with him but I know we'll never have fun like we used to. I've tried to tell him to stop but he doesn't care and his parents think it's okay and I know if I keep hanging out with him I'm gonna be in the wrong place at the wrong time and I have so much to look forward to. I just always feel like such a bad person and can never stand my ground and it sucks.

Shelby and I met in seventh grade and we connected almost instantaneously. We considered each other best friends. For high school, I wanted to transfer to a catholic school that had just opened up. I took the test, got in. However, my family could not afford to send me because of financial issues. She took the test without telling me (why?), and didn't get in. However, she paid a bunch of money to get in even though she didn't want to! I felt like she just wanted to piss me off and look like she's the one leaving. And now, she acts as if she thinks she's better than me, or even, the whole public school system. Over time, I've started to feel different about her and finally look at the reality of our friendship. It's always been a competition for her. She's always been comparing herself to me, no matter what. She always acts like she has no time for me (social media). It felt like I always had to walk on eggshells when I was around her because she would treat me like a punching bag. She would never listen to my problems unless I went bawling to her and she would always be crazy about any boy she saw (even if she was in a relationship)! She never trusts me. And my NUMBER ONE REASON for hating her is that she only talks to me if she wants something (i.e ticket to a dance)! I don't know why she's doing this, but I'm done. I wish I could say I want to make it work, but I don't!

I'm the new girl at school and there are these kind of popular girls in my school who ive been hanging out with, when I'm with them I feel kind of bored and like I dont fit in or have much in common but then there are these other girls who arent as popular but I've talked to some of them and have quite a bit in common (tv shows, aspirations) but yeah they arent seen as being cool and are seen as being nerdy I guess and immature just bc they aren't bitchy they also on my first day asked me to hang with them and I did but that was four weeks ago, since then I've been hanging with these other girls who always ignore me but I feel like through them i'll meet more people. Also when I think about hanging with the popular girls I feel my chest go all tight but not when I think of hanging out with the other girls. What should I do? I need to know who to hang with tomorrow?

It's my buddy josh and his gf. We are all 21. The thing is they are immature as hell. Not a funny way either. They both come from a wealthy family and are spoiled out the *** so they still act like teenagers. They always judge people constantly behind their backs. **** Josh's gf even talks about her own friends. They were bashing me for hanging out with this kid that used to be a nerd in high school. Who cares? This recent thing is just terrible. A friend of ours named Gary just got out of rehab for drinking. They invited him to a party. He wasn't gonna go because there was booze but he showed up determined not to drink. Josh and his gf kept trying to get him to drink. Because he gets sloppy when he drinks and they think it's funny. They kept saying "what are u a pussy now" or "dude it's only light beer". Well after taunting him he finally said ok I'll have one but they kept handing him drinks. 1 turned into 2 , 2 turned into 10 and he was eventually around 18 beers. He was falling all over the place and eventually passed out. Josh and his gf were laughing taking snapchats of him and Instagram pics and stuff. They were gonna leave him there but I convinced them to give him a ride and they didn't even stay to make sure he at least got in the house. That's the kind of **** they do. Also they are convinced that everyone looks up to them and everyone loves them. But in reality people always avoid them. None of our old friends besides me even talks to them because out of nowhere they started acting better than everyone else.

I'm in 10th grade in high school,and from elementary school to now I've been known as the weird,quiet,nerdy girl.I don't talk much to people in my classes,or in the hallways.I prefer to keep to myself.My hobbies include marching band color guard,drama club,writing,and just learning about a lot of different topics.I love medical sciences,psychology,philosophy,poetry,theatre,and my interests tend to change on a generally weekly basis.I don't try to stand out,but I don't try to fit in.I really don't like preppy,popular people,and I only have maybe 2 close friends.I mostly talk to them,and a few people in color guard and drama.I'm really short for my age,and I've always been picked on because of that,but not just that.I've also been picked on because I'm different than other kids...like I prefer to sit on my own at lunch with my notebook,or if i do sit with someone...I like to get into a debate or deep conversation.I don't understand why people can't accept me?

There is a high drama, always having fun, close nit group and there is a low drama, safe chill group that is really nice. I know the high drama girls better and I value their friendships but it sometimes gets to be too much for me.

did it have any detrimental effects on you? because this is the case for me.

I'm an emotional mess right now over this. My friend that I have known since I was nine is starting to not reply to my texts, cancel plans, and treat me like I'm an annoyance to her. Ever since she got this new job around June, we kept drifting farther and farther apart. I am always giving her things, sending her sweet texts, and inviting her over. She always says she has work or is too busy with something else. She was recently in the hospital and I wrote her a long note about how valuable our friendship is to me.. It took her four days to just say thank you and soon after that she started not returning my texts again and acting strange. She has sudden you became a very private and sneaky person. She has two secret boyfriends that I found out about and denies everything when u ask her about them (I have lots of proof that she has these bfs.) One day she will be happy and giggly, then next she will be incredibly irritable and quiet (especially at dance). I have another friend that I hang out with too sometimes who also takes dance and I feel as if she is a little (or a lot) jealous. Anyways I don't know what to do. She is with this girl (that I don't really like) at the moment and has been ignoring my texts. Please tell me how you think I should handle this, thank you.

like any long-term effects, does your brain atrophy from non-use, do you do a lot things by yourself, etc.

Okay so we recently moved to a new house so I had to start a new school and I was happy to start fresh and its been really bad for me this is a good school and all but I don't like it I don't fit in at all. I've tried to make friends ever since I started here people try to pick fights with me and the counselor doesn't help me with anything. Everday I come home im sad and get depressed but I hide it so my little brother and sister cant tell this school makes me stressed out. At lunch time im in the bathroom until its time to go back to class im just so alone I cant take it Ive been crying a lot sometime I think of killing myself. I miss my old friends and my school I need to go back help me please. my brother has his licence and the semester end in January I wanna leave by then and my aunt said if I wanted to I could use her adres and I can also ride public transportation I need to get out of there asap

I had a group of friends that I kind of stopped hanging out with. My new group of girls is friends with them too but I am just kind of uncomfortable because we never really got past me leaving. I don't like their group dynamic, but i value those individual friendships. What is some advice on breaking the ice?

I am a junior in high school, and there is very clear separation between groups with the exception of a few people, you can be friends with people in multiple groups but you have to "belong" to one. I feel like the friends I have now are high drama and cause me a lot of anxiety, however we have a lot of fun when we aren't fighting or having drama and I really value the individual friendships. I have another group of friends I have become really close with and they are not dramatic and they are safe and I know they will have my back. However I don't know them as well and don't know if in the end I will regret it.

I m a senior in high school and I ve been best friends with a girl since about 7th grade. We re more like sisters. Last year, this new girl came to our school and befriended the both of us. However, I ve developed depression and what seems to be S.A.D. So I don t really socialize very much anymore and I m with my family and best friend more than anybody. My best friend is spending a lot of time with the other girl and she calls her her "best friend." I feel so immature and jealous, and I don t know how to handle it. I also feel guilty for even being jealous at all. I mean, of course she should have friends besides me but I feel like I m being replaced. I don t know how to deal with it. Help me :(

Opposite of the normal question, I know. My roommates have told me I m loud before, but I can t help it! I m a vocal studies major so I record myself a lot, and I have to speak clearly and project. Can someone give me tips on making my room as sound proof as possible for my roommates? Specifically for the sounds of speaking? ALSO I cannot record my stuff somewhere else, my set up isn t easily mobile. I REFUSE to move everything once or twice a day just to work, then again if I want to re-record something etc.

Yesterday I was going to my locker and my friend lulu was standing tere and I didn't realize Drew was there. Lulu said something about a 'punching shoulder fetish' and I go 'oh you know me, I have a shoulder punching fetish.' I look up and Drew is staring right at me. I blush and get my stuff an look up again an he's still staring a me. Idk if he heard me but still Okay so today I went to go get a book for my friend Abby. I come back into class and My friend Dominic is like 'can I paint ur nails' cause for some reason he had nail polish I go 'um no?' It's completely silent and I start walking back to my seat and drew goes 'Auri wait' I turn around and he's like 'how do I get to the revision thing? (The thing we are doing' HE WAs ALREADY ON IT. I look at him an go 'http://turnitin.com ' he was about to say something when our teacher screams 'FLIRTATION STATION' and oh omg do you think he likes me?? he always stares at me, and takes my glasses and wears them

Warren college and have been best friends for many years and when I'm over at her house sometimes our younger brother ( he's in high school) is nice and fun to hang out with and then other times straight road like making fun of my weight etc. She tells me out of all of her friends I'm the only one he likes to hang out with but then at the same time she says I am very mean to him which I'm not at all.

were a bunch of 13 year old kids and my friends wont go to ihop they said "eww lets not" are you serious? they want us to go to a fancy restaurant...were twenage kids not business men! Are they being spoiled brats? I think they are but i dont know how to tell them...

So me and my best friend go out a lot. Almost every time we head to the cashier, she never offers to pay. She just steps back and I have to pay. I was fine with that, but she started a new job and she gets paid. I don t have a job and my parents give me money when I m going out. Almost every time we go out I get home with 0.0 $ in my wallet. I can t ask my parents for money everyday! How do I pull myself out of this? I don t want to say it directly because I don t want to hurt her.

I ve had my best friend for 3 years and we ve been through everything together, but two weeks ago she got this boyfriend and he treats me like ****. He tells me I m worthless and tries to rub their relationship in my face. I thought me and her had a really strong bond. I told her how he treats me and I tried to explain that our friendship should mean more than any guy does. I brung up how I was always there for her and how I wish she would do the same for me. I tried to put up with her boyfriend by ignoring him but I just can t take it anymore. I ve been degrading myself by staying her best friend while her boyfriend treats me horribly. I told her that I can t be her best friend while she s with her boyfriend because I can t put up with how he treats me anymore. She said that he s more important and she will not break up with him. I just miss our friendship and I really want it back, but it won t come back while she s with him. I ve already tried to explain to her but it seems like she only cares about him. I tried to stay her best friend while she s with him but he won t stop treating me bad and he ruined our bond. I don t think a guy should be able to do this. And btw they aren t breaking up anytime soon. He also brings out the worst In her while their together. What do I do? I m Female 14, my best friend is female 15, and her boyfriend is male 15

Ever since the beginning of the year I didn't have very many friends like I did last year. I have no friends in any of my classes. I always feel angry or tired at school or both at the same time. After Thanksgiving break it really helped me relax in my room and hang out with people I actually like. What do I do? I'm a sophomore in high school btw

Este año mezclaron los cursos de mi división en mi colegio y quedé con un chico con el que nunca había estado antes. El primer mes ni hablamos, pero un sabado del segundo mes de clases, hubo una fiesta y el lunes empezó a hablarme. Primero hablábamos de cosas estúpidas, pero a medida iba pasando el año hablamos mas y mas. Ahora que terminó el colegio hablamos mucho por whatsapp (a veces desde la mañana hasta las 4am del otro día). Hace dos meses mas o menos me enteré de que todo el mundo en nuestro curso dice que nos ven juntos porque según ellos, ven una "conexión" entre el y yo. Otra cosa que me dijeron fue que cuando me fui de viaje a mitad de año, el preguntaba mucho por mi. Los amigos lo molestan conmigo, y hasta lo hacen elegir entre otra chica (con la que el se habla) y yo. El problema es que el ve a un par chicas de mi colegio "atractivas", y con ellas también habla bastante (pero por ejemplo, no hasta tarde como conmigo porque se que tardaría en responder o no respondería tan rápido, además ya van varias noches que pasamos hablando hasta muy tarde). ¿Cómo se si el esta interesado en "algo" o si solo me habla como si fuera otra de esas chicas?

I moved to a new country with new language and cultures... I've been to a psychologist, because I'm feeling depressed and lonely, my family isn't around me, just me and my sister, I'm not that old neither young... I am a teenager honestly. I'm focusing on my studying and stuff, but the depression is still on me, I can't go and see my family for some reasons now, maybe later on but idk when, i miss them and i miss my best friends.... I really don't know what to do :'( I don't have genuine friends in here though, we barely say hi to each other! Advice please

So basically me and one of my best friends had a huge dispute about a year ago and by huge I mean this consisted of swearing and calling each other out on everything and all of that lol. Last week he apologized for acting that way and I did as well, and that was that, kind of odd but whatever. He texts me back and wants to hang out this weekend and I don't know lol honeslty I feel it would be just so awkward and not saying anything and all of that so I don't know should I go? And how the hell would I avoid the awkwardness?

After practice one day, my coach cornered me and kept me after everybody left. He claimed I didn't have practice attendence but I did, and I tried to say I did, but he got really close to me and, he's really tall, he stood over me and glared down at me until I was quite. He stood there and I tried backing up but he followed me. When I told him I was doing. Highschool swim he leaned abut closer and said, "so? I have alot of swimmers doing highschool swimming, why is that important?" After that he kicked me off the team, after i had said nothing bc he was intimidating me Was this right for him to do this?

Best friend and I tried to date, I told him I didn't think it was going to workout in the long run and now he won't talk to me at all and I am left wondering what is going to happen. He won't text back, hasn't asked to hangout, and hasn't posted online in days. I know I hurt his feelings... but I would hate to see our friendship disappear.

I have a friend who has serious self-worth problems and sometimes feels so bad she gets suicidal thoughts. She says she will probably do it one day...I think it's better to overreact than to ignore an important issue...so what do I do? She knows she probably needs professional help, but she can never bring herself to do it, because she is too afraid. What should I do? I know a family friend is a psychologist...should I introduce them to each other(or is a totally unrelated person better)? I don't want to force her into anything, because that might repel her even more... What is your advice? Do you have any similar personal experiences? Anything is appreciated... Also, sorry for any grammatical errors I made-I am from Slovenia and english is not my native language :/ Just ask, if you don't understand something :) Also, when she gets suicidal thoughts, she says it's not because of her self-worth problems-she says it's just out of the blue, for no apparent reason at all, totally random(and somewhat common)... :/

I was at a small get together last night and I said something weird and this one guy goes "If I ever was attracted to you, I wouldn't be anymore." I got so offended and my one friend yelled "F YOU!! SHE'S HOT!!!" and he goes "I know that's what i said!" and I said no you said if you ever thought I was...and then he didn't say anything.... Not to sound conceited but I am not used to guys not finding me attractive. Most guys do. I am blonde, with blue eyes and thin with curves. I am also very fit because I lift weights 4 days a week. Hours later he told me I was beautiful and I was so confused...I'm really bothered by this whole thing....

I'm a 15 year old guy, and My birthday's in the summer, and i've only gotten to celebrate once. Only 2 people came. I'm not popular or anything, but i at least have friends... But every year i celebrate my birthday i end up sitting alone. I try to celebrate in autumn, in august or october, but it's always someone else celebrating then. Last year i planned a party, we had ordered a pizza party thing and all, but we had to cancel two days before the party because another friend of mine was having his party that same day. Nobody ever says happy birthday, nobody ever sends me good wishes or any messages on facebook my birthday, nobody mentions my birthday in school (even though it's okay, since i have a birthday in the summer), and now i'm just sick of all birthdays. I don't give a sh*t about my own birthday or anyone else's. Every year, my family has to work with my grandfathers ship on my birthday, so i sit inside alone. This year i just ate cake alone. And my friend's birthday was today, 42 people said happy birthday on facebook, many people sent personal greetings and messages and stuff, even a girl i like... I thought i was jealous, but i wasn't because now i just feel like birthday's are bullsh*t that ain't really important. It's just the day we came to this world, if you're 60 that's 60 years ago. Im so sick of birthdays, am i the only one who feels like birthdays are a joke?

I accidentally called a coworker that I am close with asking for help getting a cab because I was too drunk to call one for myself. The problem was that the coworker was pissed that I called them (at 9:50pm). I went back to the office so I wouldn't drive home and called from their office because I my phone was dead. I don't remember what I said but I was unhappy they wouldn't help me and think I said some pretty mean things. Again, very vague memory and I think they said that we were going to have a meeting with my boss. The security guard also saw me passed out in my office. My theory is that the damage has been done. I think I have a personality disorder and previously saw a psychologist about it. I'm trying to see one as soon as possible. I have a resignation letter ready and am ready for my life to be turned upside down. I am a hard worker and like my job so this will be hard. Should I apologize or try and play it off? Thanks for your advice

About this situation we go to the house the are still alone and instead of his cousin saying thank you for checking up on the kids she blows up

It's strange, because my birthday was some time ago. I'm a guy who turned 14, but at my birthday, my family had to work, and i had to buy a present for myself. I didn't mind then, but i noticed how only 2 people had said happy birthday on facebook, and my friend who had his birthday a week earlier had everyone send videos of them singing and he had 37 people saying happy birthday. I didn't mind, but i'm still kinda angry at people for forgetting, because everyone just said they'd "forgotten" my birthday. And my other friend's birthday is tomorrow, already tonight people have sent him videos and stuff... I was gonna celebrate a birthday party, but nobody wanted to come so i cancelled... Why did they "forget" my birthday and nobody elses?

she 18 my friends like her and I dont know why? plus the caption she put in and I didnt put it there

OK so I'm 16 years old and I'm a pretty decent looking person at least I thought. I don't have many friends, but it's not like I'm friendless. I made a Snapchat and started communicating people I really didn't know, and we had fun talking until I went to show my face. Then out of no where I get unfriended and I just feel bad for even opening up. I showed my face to friends that I know and they continue to tall to me..... What's wrong with me.

My guy friend and I are really close. We're both 26. We do a lot together from ATVs to dinner and a movie. We started kissing and things just progressed in a non-sexual way. He's by far the best kisser that I've ever kissed. When we spend alone time with one another, its usually upstairs in his bedroom watching a movie or watching TV. We will be snuggled up next to one another under the blankets and then we will start kissing with the TV on. He will kiss my neck and just tell me to relax which is common. We've been kissing for about 2 years now. The first time we kissed, he made the first move in a hotel room. After that, we haven't really stopped kissing one another. We're flirty friends I would say, but other people keep on telling me that we should be dating by now. When he comes over and I'm laying on the couch at my parents house, he will come in and sit down next to me and put his arm over my shoulders and kiss the side of my neck, knowing that my parents are sitting right there watching. He will be sitting by me and he will smell really good, so sometimes I will put my head on his shoulder and just leave it there until he wants to go somewhere with me or wants me to go with him somewhere. My parents just like him and ever thing, but the one person that absolutely likes him is my sister-in-law and always asks me how he is doing and what we've been up too. We haven't really talked about dating one another and both our families have questioned that because we are so close We hang-out most of the time together. He's very good looking, can cook (we both can), has a very good looking body, sweet, humble, down-to-earth, caring, loving (obviously), and goofy personality. He has kissed the end of my nose before, but he calls it "His lead up to the grand finale" from my forehead to my nose than onto my lips. I think we're just smitten with one another and have a flirty friendship, but I don't know if we both want more from it or if its just something that we like doing. When we are sitting next to one another, he will put his hand on my leg by my knee because my dad will say "Don't get frisky while I'm watching" and sometimes he will kiss the top of my forehead. He loves it when I will rub the back of his neck where his hair line starts or just run my fingers on the side of his head by his ear lobe. My dad and him will joke with one another and he always hugs my mom before getting close to me. My mom says that I need to keep him around because I'm always happy when he's near me. I just smile and tell her that I plan on doing that for a while. She does bring up the fact that she thinks we'd make a cute couple and why we haven't started dating yet. He gets red when she brings it up and then she doesn't bring it up again. We will go for drives and he will just grab the back of my hand and kiss the back of it. He's a very romantic type of person and when valentine's day rolls around, he brings me flowers and himself with a big bow on him. really cute huh.

Yesterday I was going to my locker and my friend lulu was standing tere and I didn't realize Drew was there. Lulu said something about a 'punching shoulder fetish' and I go 'oh you know me, I have a shoulder punching fetish.' I look up and Drew is staring right at me. I blush and get my stuff an look up again an he's still staring a me. Idk if he heard me but still Okay so today I went to go get a book for my friend Abby. I come back into class and My friend Dominic is like 'can I paint ur nails' cause for some reason he had nail polish I go 'um no?' It's completely silent and I start walking back to my seat and drew goes 'Auri wait' I turn around and he's like 'how do I get to the revision thing? (The thing we are doing' HE WAs ALREADY ON IT. I look at him an go 'http://turnitin.com ' he was about to say something when our teacher screams 'FLIRTATION STATION' and oh omg do you think he likes me?? he always stares at me, and takes my glasses and wears them

So my older brother moved abroad to a different country for higher studies and I miss him so much. He was like a best friend, a mentor, a brother, a sister, someone I could go to with any problem and he would make me feel better instantly. We used to share so many interests together and everything reminds me of him and makes my cry. I don't want to call him constantly and distract him from his studies since he's really busy.It's been 2 months since he left and I've been feeling so depressed. My parents always drag me to family parties and church gatherings and I feel so lonely without my brother. What should I do to feel better?

I'm transferring to a new school tomorrow and I don't know a single person there. I'm a junior and i don't stand out much: I'm not attractive, i don't have nice clothes and can't afford to buy any, I'm super self conscious, etc. People say to be confident and be talkative and funny but I'm not that funny and i can't be confident like that right away. I'm really shy around new people and i can't just walk up to anyone and say hi. I'm kind of awkward.. I've heard everyone at this new school is super popular and outgoing and stuff.. I can't fit in!! What should i do? I'm probably worrying too much but I've transferred a lot and each time I've never made too many friends... Please help! Thanks in advance

I live in Ohio and I'm 17. I go to school high school and collage and never miss a day, I have a part time job, my parents put a lot more stress on me making me feel like I don't do anything right. I have talked to them but they blame me and turn it around and get even more mad my friend said I can move in with them his parents don't mind what process must I go through and how much does it cost? What can I do

im 16, and i lived in a small rural area for a long time and im very shy so i never really had a chance to overcome my shyness.. i moved to a more less rural area and im having trouble making friends and talking to people... i never really had freinds and im not really social.. but now since im old, i now have to talk to adults and volunteer and get a job and make friends... i try my best to talk and make friends but at first i think im doing fine and okay, but the next time i see them, they give me a weird, dirty stare and dont even say hi unless i do first or unless i talk to them, and they try to run away from me and avoid me.. i just follow them around and try to be near them to show that i want to be their friend but they dont care about me and dont even look at me.. idk whats wrong with me... im not "ugly" or dirty.. i look clean and organzied and people say im pretty but i just look mad... this always happens... i talk to people and the next time i see them, its over, they avoid me.. it always hurts me feelings.. what could be wrong with me? i dont talk alot... and i dont think im weird.... hm.. is it becauese i look like a loner? well.. i am... but...

I'm a girl. In 9th grade (I'm in 10th now) I started to feel tired of my life. I only have 1 good friend and have never had a boyfriend, kissed, or dated anyone. I can't see my best friend anymore since I just moved. I'm shy, awkward, and boring, so I haven't made any friends at my new school. I go to class then go home, basically. Then I do my homework, which I never feel like doing anymore. I have no idea what career I want to pursue and dread the future. I've always planned to go to college, but I'm not excited about it anymore. I can't imagine my future holding much for me. It seems like everyone is poor these days and I'll be alone. I'm so ugly and my personality sucks, so I'm probably going to be single forever :( I can't imagine someone having to put up with me their whole life. I aslo hate being at home. my parents always fight. my sisters suck (they're always against me for some reason, one is older and one is younger.) any advice

I'm only 19 years old and i'm so weak and tired all the time, all i wanna do is to sleep all day long, not talk to anyone, just watch movies and sleep, i have no friends, no boyfriend, no family, no social life, everything i do is eat, sleep and go to school watch people having fun with their lives, my life sucks, i wish i could die but at the same time i don't have courage to suicide, i'm always lazy, sleepy, have a headache, and tired of my life, I just wish i can sleep and not wake up again, ever... Is there any hope for me to have a good life ? I mean i'm already 19 and have nothing at all, i don't even have money to buy things i like, and everybody hates me... P.S : don't tell me i'm pathetic i already know that !

A couple days ago I was not feeling good and. One of my friends wanted to hang out, I told her no because i wasn't feeling good and I didn't want to get her sick but she thought I was just finding an excuse to say no. I feel fine now and I'm going to the movies to hang out with a different friend and then we are going to have a sleepover. What would I do if I saw her at the theater or if she asked why I came to school with my other friend or got mad at me or something. -teenage girl

I hurt one of my friends feelings today at school by telling friend A that friend B said something she didn t say and now they are both mad at me i don t know what to do. I didn t mean to say that i only said that because i didn t want friend A to get mad at me
