If a guy replies with "sure thing" is he saying it as of course or as in sure whatever?

i'm 16, a girl. I don't have a terrible life because I have a roof over my head and a family that loves me but life isn't great because I am extremely unhappy and alone. All my friends left me, which I still have yet to understand why because I am a very loyal, kind, and treat my friends very well. I can't get a boyfriend, I sit alone at school and cry myself to sleep every night. I went from being an honor roll student to failing two classes, I gained a lot of weight and spend a lot of time in my room watching Netflix and all my ex-friends have parties without me. I'm trying my hardest to stay optimistic and try my best to go out and do things by myself or with my mom but that's really hard when I want to break down because my life has only gotten worse, it's been like this since 5th grade when my only friends started bullying me. I just need to know if there's a purpose to going on with life and if I'll ever actually find a friend who cares about me and treats me like I treat them, a true friend. I need to know if I'll ever actually be happy because I forgot what its like to laugh and have fun with friends.

I'm 13 and today me, my friend, and a group of boys are gonna play night games. The problem is that I'm not aloud to be out at night! I really want to go, and my friend is aloud to go. I don't have a lot of freedom in my world. I'm not aloud to watch PG13 movies. Even though I know zombies aren't real and other "scary" stuff, and middle school has a lot of kids that swear all the time. And I can't do what other teenagers do. I'm just scared of getting caught... I would be dead meat. My dad is really protective, even though we are not Mormon. My mom would say yes for playing night games, my dad would say no. I really want to go play night games. Should I lie to my dad saying I'm going to my friends house or just not go to the night games? We already have the lie planned out.

I've always been a competitive woman.I will be in competition without you even knowing lol I think of it as motivating me to do my best. But I have a problem with once I do something and a friend does the same thing as me, and kinda makes it known she's trying to one up me i have a tendency to get mean. I look at you as a friend but mainly someone i have to beat. So am I overly competitive or just jealous? How can I tone it down?

And dont just say "try new things, join a sport!" Already have. Im an only child and never had real friends. Everything i do is boring because In the end its just me and i feel stupid for acting like im having fun around other people.. I cant get along with people because either they irritate me, or i m not fun enough for them. and answerers, please dont tell me the generic " be your self, kid." Please. Thanks guys

A guy friend of mine who claimed to 'like me' not long ago is constantly tweeting stuff about me on his twitter and its pissing me off. I'm a oblivious person who didn't know what shat meant, later that day he tweeted something like 'classmate didn't even know what shat meant". and other similar things have happened where he tweets stuff I did/said. He doesn't know that I saw it, and I'm pissed about it, should I tell him off? I first saw his twitter when another friend showed it to me, I found that his tweets made me question his humanity so now I just read it for because it showed a side of him I never knew before. And he's tweeting stuff that infuriates me...

These girls have been talking bad about me in school, and on this site/app called younow. They call me slut whore, *****. I just want to know what is this? Are they bullying me? Picking on me? Rudely expressing their feelings? Thanks

My ex blocked me when we broke up. Like, minutes later. I was surprised to see that she remained friends with one of my friends(an old guy so no, nothing is happening). This was a LDR and she has no reason to stay friends with him and also she is the type to destroy all ties. Ive created a fake account and looked at my friend's public page. I've seen that she has liked some of his posts so it isnt that she just forgot to unfriend him. She is quite often in his top 10 friends and ranks high on his friend list. I can't see her page because she has everything private. I don't bother to click on her. My question is, Why is she ranking so high? I know for certain nothing is going on between them. He is old old. LIke 80. Is she looking at his page a lot? If so, it's to glean for info about me. I post stuff on his wall and even if she has me blocked, She can still see it I believe.

He doesn't have a cell phone right now and I could never find the opportunity to tell him in person, so a mutual friend suggested I write a note I was really excited about the idea and went for it, because i wanted to get my feelings out there Then, he doesn't respond or say anything. It was really heartfelt, like I completely put myself out there in a way I never have before. The mutual friend said that he said he thought it was sweet and appreciated it, but he's interested in someone else right now. He said he was going to tell me in person, but then didn't. when the mutual friend asked him about it, he said, "I can't do it, I'm scared." I'm really hurt that he didn't even care enough about my feelings to bother to respond, I don't know how to back myself feel better or how to get over it. what makes me most upset is that the reason we ended things before is because he decided he just didn't like me anymore, and he never told me why. I asked, "is there a reason?" and he said, "does there have to be?" obviously I can't continue to have feelings for him if he doesn't have feelings for me, but it's like I can't see anyone else. so I guess this isn't a question it's just a lot of background information haha but if you could give any advice about how to move on or feel better I would really appreciate it

i was with two guys who are now friends. they were telling this story about how one robbed the other for about a hundred dollars, then the guy who got robbed was really really mad, so they fought each other. after the fight, they weren't mad anymore. they're friends now. i also saw a video of two guys fighting, but like when one fell over the other guy wouldn't get on top of him and keep pummeling him. he'd have room to get back up and then the fight would resume. sometimes, one guy would even help the other guy back up so they could keep going so before this, my idea of a fight was that you both for whatever reason mutually want to cause as much pain to the other person because you're really mad or whatever. what's the deal with this type of fighting? in what situation would this resolve conflicts and help work things out? i've seen a lot of people (me included) just let their hostility seethe inside of them and not do anything about it, and that's a really sh*tty way to do things because then there's no resolution. so when would fighting in a clean and fair way solve a problem? i want to know more about this way of resolving things it's interesting

I only share my notes if a person (or a friend) is absent, or had to step out of the class, and missed something. But my friend was in class for the full 90 minutes, and she decided to draw on her paper instead of taking notes. So about 5 minutes before class ended, she asked me if she could copy my notes. I told her no, because she should've written her own notes, instead of drawing on her paper the whole time. Was I wrong for telling her no?

I was mistreated some at my old school, but still had friends I felt close to. Where as, I don t feel close to anyone now. Cheer tryouts at my new school are in two weeks, but I DO NOT want to tryout. My mom is making me cheer at my new school, knowing I do not want to. After volleyball, I want to move back but mom has made it clear I will never move back to my old school

How can you know and tell a friend isn't really a true friend ?

One of my best friends from college didn't invite me to her wedding. We were great friends all 4 yrs of college, we graduated 5 yrs ago- she moved to Florida, I stayed in Michigan. since then we naturally grew apart, however still kept in touch and would visit each other occasionally. When she got engaged, I called her and we talked about the proposal and all that girly stuff. She said she really hopes that I & some of our other close college friends could come down for the wedding. Through Facebook, I was able to see her setting the date. But she never mentioned anything about it to me directly . As the count down on her fb status got closer and closer I was starting to realize I wasn't going to be invited. I'm definitely surprised and hurt by it. Now I absolutely realize weddings are expensive and you have to make guest cuts somewhere. We aren't as close as we used to be and I haven't seen her in a while but I'm really struggling with how to respond. I'm not trying to throw a pity party but I feel she should have at least acknowledged not being invited. That may be uncomfortable but I think it's more uncomfortable to not say anything. So my question: Should I send her a card? acknowledging her wedding day and wish her well? Or should I leave it? I want to say something, I really do wish her the best and want to acknowledge her big day. But I wonder if she will view that as a passive aggressive way of being like "hey you didn't invite me." Thoughts?

It was senT from a friend of mine that lives in Paraguai. I would like to answer his message calling him "my good friend" in guarani. Could you help me, please? Thank you

So me and her went to kick it and then I m like "wanna blaze? You don t have to you know" and shes like "no it s okay" & then I was recording her blazing on her Snapchat and she decided to put it on her story and now her mom got mad because she found out she did that and now her mom is mad and she doesn t want me to hang out with her nor talk to her I guess and i don t if I should tell my mom about it. Even doe she already knew I smoked before.

Three years ago, when I first got my friend, they were shy. Then we became closer in our friendship. However, through out the years, my friend has been giving me the cold shoulder. Why? They're a rock, btw. Should I get a new rock friend?

I have a week off from school for spring break. I do not have internet or a phone, or cable, I cannot really go outside, and my best friend is grounded so we cannot hangout. I don't really have any other friends that I would hang out with so. Any recommendations for games that run without internet? I'm an only child so I can't hang out with brothers or sisters.

Hi all, I feel guilty about taking late showers and I am wondering if that's unnecessary. I have always been a night shower person because I can't sleep if I feel gross in my bed. Sometimes on weekend nights I don't get back home until 1 or 2am. Taking a shower at this hour is a stressful ordeal for me because I am paranoid about waking up my roommates. I tip toe around and do my best to take a quick and quiet shower. However I still feel like I am being inconsiderate by showering so late. On the other hand, I can't sleep easily without feeling clean. Anyway, in your opinion is this something to feel bad about? My roommates have never commented on it but I still wonder if it annoys them.

My former best friend is extremely depressed. He had to move, and now he s about an hour away from where I live. On top of that He used to be a football prodigy in our school, but had to quit due to his concussions. Now he is extremely depressed. I can only talk to him through steam, but even through steam I can tell he is not happy. He does nothing except play video games all day. He is so far away and neither of us can drive. What should I do?

So i have this friend since start of the schools year. I few weeks after we became friend this person kept of talking about their life. He said he felt bad about talking about himself the whole time with me. but I told him it okay b/c he is a reaally nice person and I just cant say that i don t want to listen to his life stories all the time. But with other people he is different... he doesn t do that. I usually never get to talk about fun stuff with her.. what do u think about this?? for every 5 mins they talk, i talk 30 seconds lol

she just came out and confessed to me she hates my other friend but the problem is we eat lunch together i told her she can eat with her other friends if she wants, but she says she likes me and will continue to eat with me and my other friend it's just really awkward now? do i tell my other friend that my friend doesn't like her? :/

So im a 28 year old woman, with 4 close friends, 2 girls(lets call them jane and mary), and their boyfriends. We have been friends for 4 years and do everything together, and im also very close to their boyfriends, in a platonic way. 4 years ago I came to the US for med school from India. I tutored these 2 undergrad girls(who were 20 at the time), and we became close friends. They introduced me to their boyfriends(who were in the army at the time) and I got along with their group, and they made me feel welcome. Since then we became good friends.For starters i feel awkward as a fifth wheel, around them and I am still a virgin(not by choice). I am also 4 years older than mary, jane and both their boyfriends. On top of that, They all are born and raised in the US and I am from India and have a thick Indian accent. The final reason is that physically stand out, from the group and feel like the ugly single one in group. I am 6'4 chubby weighing 250 pounds, dark skinned indian(think minday kaling but a foot taller.) Jane is 5'8 white, with dark hair, tanned skin, medium build(not skinny but not thick or chubby). Mary is Asian 5'8 with similar build to jane(both with volleyball player type bodies). Janes boyfriend is light blonde, and Mary's boyfriend is a redhead(not ginger)boyfriends are both 5'6 each, lean(slimmer than their girlfriends), but ripped with defined muscles and a both have six pacs. Weve had many great memories together, and i enjoy spending time with them. Dont tell me to make new friends I have other friends. Of all my friend groups I feel closest to this one, and they feel that way about me. They made me feel at home when I first came to this country and have always been there for me Even though I love them, I feel awkward being the giant chubby woman, who 5th wheels 2 attractive couples.

I am 17 and i hate sleepovers!! Literally my friend lives right up the street from me, like a 5 min walk, and I have anxiety. & it sucks because my friends love having sleepovers and i always have to make excuses and stuff bc i just dont like leaving my house and i always feel bad. Sometimes I just push myself to go and I do have fun at them but i dont sleep much but im just always having anxiety when i go to them :/??

Today is my birthday and she told me like last week we could hang out today, and then she just told me last night that she can t hang out until after 5 because she s already hanging out with something else. So I was sad and kind of angry but was like alright. Now it s 4 and I keep asking if she has an estimated time that she s going to come get me or that I should be ready by and she just says "idk." I'm so annoyed and I want to cry because we never hang out and I thought maybe 1 day out of the year she could be a little less self centered. Should I cancel or just wait??

So I probably am jealous but whatever. I have a really good friend and we barely ever hangout like she is so busy all the time. And her parents are divorced so she is at different houses every weekend so she can barely hangout. Every weekend I ask her "can you hangout?' and she says no because she is with her dad or she has to take care of her dog. Because he has a herinated disc and is on bed rest. So she always says no, I asked her on Thursday March 3 and she said "sorry I can't I'm hanging out with another friend." LIKE WHAT! I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR LIKE 5 MONTHS AND YOU JUST GO AND HANGOUT WITH HER WHENEVER!!!?? Btw the friend that she is hanging out with is not my friend and she is snapchatting me pictures of them together and texting me like "Oh I am hanging out with her" and I didn't even ask. I know I am a little bit jealous, but I don't know if I am making too big a deal of it, I don't think it is fair at all because I never get to hangout with her. What do I do? Do I confront her? Do I ignore her? Do I wait until she asks to hangout with me? Should I just never ask to hangout again? Please answer! Best answer will be chosen and given points

Marie and I share a cubby at school. On Monday I left my camera in the cubby because I didn't want to have to carry around all day. Wednesday I had to miss school because I had to catch a flight to go to a wedding, and I was not prepared for the flight. So on Wednesday Marie texted me and told me that the teacher was making us take the locks off of our cubbies and take home everything in them. I asked her if she could take my camera and stuff home for me. She said that she couldn't because she had to walk home from school and had to carry her own stuff. I got kind of mad and told her that I would just ask our other friend to go get it for me. Marie s always feeling left out of our friend group. She said she would be at school working in the darkroom until five, so I could pick it up anytime until 5. So I figured after all this that I would just go get my own camera because she wasn't going to help me out. I called her at 2:00 and she didn't answer. I texted her again and asked her if she could run my camera outside. Again, she didn't answer, and I sent her texts saying "are you there?" "hello?" she still didn't answer. I just went inside the building to get it myself. When I got in there I was like "why didn't you answer me? Were you in class or something?" She explained that she was busy and that you can't use your phone in the darkroom because it will damage the paper. I was sooo annoyed. And just took my camera. Am I wrong here? How do I deal with her in the future?

I'm 29 and I had sex with a 42 year old almost year ago. He and I live in different states. I wanted to see him again while I was in his state last week. I sent him a text letting him know I was in town and he asked me for the address. I told him I would contact him once I got to the hotel. When I got to the hotel I asked him to come see me. He told me he was out of town. Yet earlier that day he and I saw each other at the park. It wasn't planned we walked right past each other and didn't say anything. Then when he got far away he stopped and turned around he knew it was me. So when I told him to come meet me he said he was out of town and that he would be back the next day. I got really pissed off though and wouldn't take his calls and I ignored him. I wish I hadn't of done it because I really wanted to see him. He had told me previously that he was having financial issues and that he may not feel like meeting up with me. I really would like to see him again maybe if I wouldn't have been so impatient things would have worked out differently.

I'm few years older than she is, I'm 20 and she's 16 maybe 17 by now I'm not sure. She's always copying me and tried to convince me she's an adult. I'm not really her friend because she lies a lot and tries starting problems otherwise I would be her friend. I don't know why I matter to her so much, I've only spoken to her a few times and we didn't grow close so not sure what's going on.

I am super surprised that she been calling with all the details of her grandma's funeral. I knew her grandma very well and been to her house plenty of times. We are in our 30's now. This is all weird to me. Would you still be friends with someone who did this? Forget the formal invite, I was never told me the time of service. All of you trolls need to get out of here if you can't relate, thank you!

I pranked my friend's brother in a sleepover REALLY badly. To get me back, he sprayed me with the Liquid Booty. How do I get it out after I showered?

This one time, in my Taekwondo class, the teacher partnered me up with this other black girl in my class for partner drills. We had to practice blocks and punches on each other. She did the punches first and I did the high blocks and low blocks. Then vice versa, I did the punches second and then she did the high blocks and low blocks. So does this count as one-step sparring/fighting with this girl???

He was in a 4 year relationship with her, she cheated on him and then shortly after got engaged to the guy she cheated on him with. It's been a few months and of course he's still upset, so how do I help him get over it? I just want him to feel better. I know, time is the answer, but how much time? Seeing him like this is painful for me too because he's my friend

Hi, so I will be starting college this fall and one of my biggest worries is making friends. I have Asperger's syndrome so it's harder for me to make friends, know/think of the right things to say, and keep conversations going. I'm not really am athletic kind of guy nor extremely smart (I'm in special ed)...I'm more of an alternative kind of kid, who's plays in the school band and plans on being a comp sci major. I don't have many friends at my current school, and just want to learn some tips on how to make friends in college.

This guy Tom is married, and he has been my husband's friend from 15 years and they are also coworkers. Well 11 years ago Tom and I had attraction for one another, and Tom and I kissed and made out. Tom said after that it was not going to happen again as he is married and I am, and he is friends with my husband. so we agreed. Then 2 years later when his wife and him were at my house, she went and kissed him. I remembered tom and I kissing and immediately lost it as I breathed hard with mouth open. Tom looked down but in my direction as he breathed hard too. He always takes a lot of pleasure in watching me talk to other people, and tom likes to hear what I am saying and everytime I catch him mirroring me and empathizing with me. Why he does this? I have a habit of emailing him from 10 years and it can be about any where I went, who I spoke with, work activity, and tom would reply to most of my emails too and then when I see him, he gets used to looking at me and seeing my expressions and words. here was a time when we were hugging and he rubbed his chest against my chest and then breathed hard. I then breathed hard and when I looked at tom, his eyes were closed the whole time. Tom cheated on his wife 2 years later and got divorced, and tom married the affair girl! But He has been using Linkedin as a way to copy my idea and thoughts, when he sees what I like or comment on at facebook, he connects to similar people/things on LinkedIn. Is this an affair?

then he refused to pay you and cussed you out would it piss ya off

I promise I'm not trolling and please don't say it's bad, just answer my question and help me. Im a 14 year old girl and I really would like to write a letter to Dylann Roof before anything happens to him. (death penalty, legal **** etc) I've known of other Roofies who have sent him prison letters however I seem to be younger than they are but I have a few questions. first of all, do they check who you are and the address- like background checking it? because my mother doesn't know I'm doing this. I am using a friend's return address so if he does write me back, it will go to a friend's house. but do you think they will find out & tell my mom that I'm doing it in secret or anything? is there any way it could get traced back to me?? do I have to write under my real name or could it be the name I usually use to keep anonymity with things; "angel" and do I have to use a last name? will I get into trouble if they find out that it's an alias? thirdly, if I sent a picture of myself will the police who are checking it search for it online and try to find the real me? and do you think I just shouldn't because I look 16/17 in the picture but that's still not 18. but at the same time I want dyl to see how pretty I am. how long would it take a letter to go from CT to SC because I don't want to be waiting forever for a reply and never get one. I'd want to know the window of time. and lastly-- tips to keep anonymity and not get caught by my parents doing this? thank you. xx

Ever since grade school, people have come up and talked to me, asked me to come to their house, tried to be my friend. I have not had to put any effort into making friends ever. Everyone else always made it clear if they were my friend, or if they didn't like me, simple as can be. However, now that I'm away at college, I don't know anyone. This means I'm not meeting people through my friends, and I don't know how to meet people anymore. I've never had to be the one to make a friend or to drive the friendship, and now I don't have any friends. (That I can frequently hang out with)

m 24 years old.i have no degree yet. though my parents supported me a lot by i keep dissappointing them.my whole life was a disaster.i dont have friends.i have never been in a relation ship.recently i having loosing stuffs like mobile my id card twice actually i have no job & i have been sitting doing noth for past 2years .i cudnt find a job because i have no degree i pursued diploma engineering which i cudnt complete.i dont know whats going on with my life but i loosing hope i have always a tendency to suicide. i dont know but i m really scared though.anyway do you thing my life is gonna change or is it beacuse me ??

So I sent this person a friend request and went back onto their profile and the 'add friend/friend request' is missing. What does that mean? I can still see their stuff that is posted to the public.

Hallo, Next year I would be an exchange student in the US. I am asking what if I do not get any friends at all when I am there. That no one likes to talk with me at all. Than I am just there being a complete idiot. To get friends you need to talk to them, I like to talk to strangers and can easily be friends with people, so it is no problem, but then usually I am with friends who introduce me to other people. For example at parties etc. where I also hook up with girls. When I am in the US it is not allowed to be at a party or at least not drink alcohol. I also talk to strangers a lot over the internet. I have good friends where I live, but it could sometimes be boring because we are very few in this place. I would live with one guy with my host family, so hopefully we will get good buds. I am also playing football or soccer, so I would meet other people there. But just what if someone sees me as a complete idiot, and I get no friends? Hope someone with experience or someone that can help could answer.

My dad accused me of wasting my phone minutes, and I wasn't using my phone minutes. My dad said that if I waste my phone minutes, he won't buy some more unless if my dad marries Monica from Friends. I feel worried that if I get stranded on the bus or at school, then I feel worried that I would walk myself home unless if my parents send me to somewhere closer to my house for school so that I can walk myself home, but the only schools closer to my house is a public school, and I don't want to go to public school again because there could be a lot of bullies there, the public schools don't learn about God, the public schools don't let you pray, the public schools don't let you say God in school, and there were two fights at the public schools, which was one at Meijer's last year, and the other fight happened a couple months ago. My friends have IPhones, and their dads don't say that my friends are wasting their minutes because my friends have IPhones because most of my friends have jobs and a lot of homework. I really want to have an IPhone, but my mom keeps telling me that I am too young and have to wait until when I have a job like on Friends unless if I work at Hollister. I feel worried that if I work at Hollister on the weekends, then I feel worried that I would come home from work at 9pm if I work at Hollister, and a job at Hollister would interfere with my studies because it ends at 9pm. How can I convince my parents to let me have a IPhone? Can you help? Thanks.

I'm currently a college student. I live in a big city, yet feel helplessly alone. I wouldn't necessarily say I'm unhappy. I go to a great school, I do well in school. I have financial security, I have a loving family. My concern comes to friends, colleagues, classmates, etc. I feel as if I'm trapped within this never-ending cycle of alienation and acceptance. One that I have literally no control over. It seems as if the peers I come in contact with fluctuate in their acceptance of me. For example, during the past summer, I was entirely included, sought out to attend parties, events, cups of coffee, beach trips, casual hangouts etc. Almost to a point to where I needed to take a break for time to myself. However, I never did, I always made myself available. I wanted to spend time with these people, and in doing so, I made more friends, friends of friends, and was even lucky to begin a brief relationship. The issue occurs when the school semester started. Almost immediately, I stopped receiving phone calls, I stopped getting texts. These people I just spent an entire summer with give me glazed looks as I pass them in the hall. Even if I initiate the conversation, they'll answer with monotonous and petty conversation. They'll even repeat conversation. It's like a switch flipped within a few days, maybe even a week. Which results in complete alienation of me. (Continued in comment below, Thanks yahoo) I am unsure to why this occurs. Perhaps I'm poorly mannered, uninteresting, bad looking? Idk. My concern develops due to me being able to track, and date these events. Its like clockwork. Does anyone have a good read that they could pass on to me? Something to allow me to bypass this cycle, something that could help me reformat my lifestyle etc.? I don't like thinking I'm the sole issue but that's the conclusion I've met. I can't help but feel paranoid. I know this sounds ridiculous, I'm able to reflect on myself and my actions, yet I feel like I'm doing nothing out of the ordinary. It's as severe to the point where I'm starting to consider that someone, or a group of people are out for social destruction. Telling lies, formulating experiences that never happened, bending the truth out of my favor. But that's insane, who would do that to someone else?

I know this is something most people cannot understand but please try to empathize. My high school was about 2 thousand students with 3 lunch cycles I was one of 20-30 kids that could not eat lunch because I would get made fun of for eating alone. In college I got along well with people I had to work in groups with and have developed my social skills a lot I still did not make a single friend. I used to be in top physical condition no women ever asked me out now I just don't care anymore and am not obese but am technically overweight. I totally hate all the culture that is all about materialism dressing a certain way, acting a certain way, ect. Its not who I am and it will never be.

I'm 29 and I had sex with a 42 year old almost year ago. He and I live in different states. I wanted to see him again while I was in his state last week. He wanted to but I got really pissed off at him so we didn't meet me but I'm still thinking about him but I did see him at the park. I want to experience that feeling again I don't know what to do. I still want to see him again maybe sometime this summer. He and I aren't in a relationship but I enjoy spending time with him. Is it a waste of money going to see him? He and I are only friends

Hand crafting a card, i have spent an hour debating what to put, but i want something very meaningful. PLEASE HELP

Heyy guys, Well, I have this roommate that I've known for like 3 years since my first year in college. My other friends and classmates say that she's taking advantage of me and only friends with me so she wouldn't get bored. Well, it's true that she's materialistic and all, but she's the only one who's been there when no one was: -She takes me to parties and introduces me to her other friends -Sometimes she pays for my stuff when I'm broke (and vise versa) -When we go out to bars she doesn't let strangers and weird guys approach me especially when I'm drunk -She listens to my endless talk about my ex and she deals with my **** all day -Whenever I'm not home she calls me to make sure I'm ok and when I'm away from home for days she texts me constantly throughout the day and tells me everything that happens to her. PS: This morning when I was about to cry she begged me not to because she doesn't know how to react everytime I cry. PPS: She is funny and beautiful. She never fails to make me crack up and even though she has many friends, she chooses to hangout with me

Don't get me wrong i love my parents but so many times i feel like they hate me. I get mostly A-Cs and in the comments so many good things are said about me but its only the bad things they focus on. They over exaggerate little problems i didnt clean my room they banned the t.v. I talk in class with my bestfriend suddenly i have bad friends, i was late for school they seized my phone and they arent giving it back. I can't talk to my parents if i have a problem they just laugh whatever i do I'm always wrong. They don't support me, example " Mum I want to become a tutor for people in my class" "Dont waste your time on them, why do you need to help people". I just want them to appreciate me more and see how hard I'm trying to please them. Two people kiss in a show just a little kiss they act as if i wa watching porn. Just help
