I have a 3 way friend group. We'll call them W, and F. F's mom is a teacher. She wants F to be the smartest girl in her grade. Shes very crucial about grades. About a week ago, F got a not-so good grade on her math test. Her mom went bonkers over it. She started saying rude things to her, and even our friend group. She said that she surrounds herself around "dumb" people, so she can feel smart. I will agree, im terrible at school, and me and W get almost the same grades. Im not really mad about it, as i dont really care what she thinks. But how can i get her to like me more? Instead of her thinking of me and W as "dumb". Ty xxx

this guy makes fun of me when his friends are around but when he is by himself he seems scared of me. He throws and says mean things about me when they are with him but when they are not around he is nice.

There's a very smart kid from middle school who got put in my junior class. I initially thought he wasn't going to be a problem until he started "hitting" on every girl in the class. He came up to me and started passing notes saying hi and all that, and I tried to be nice, but he became a distraction because I couldn't listen to the teacher if he keeps passing a paper. He then asked me to talk to every girl in the class about their relationship status and getting with him and all. He was annoying saying all that to me many times, so I talked to my friend about it and the next day she walked in class pissed off and she yelled at him to leave me alone. He doesn't talk to me anymore, but he won't leave my friends alone. My friend told me the kid has been following him around in the hallways, and he especially did that to other people as well. My friend told me that he warned the kid that if he doesn't leave his friends alone he will inform the teacher, but the kid never listened. When the kid kept bothering him in the hallways my friend yelled at him to leave him alone. Later one time he also told the kid to stop talking to him because he is not his friend, but he keeps sitting next to him and talking to him. teacher has been informed, but he is too "chill" handle it, so my friend told me he is going to report the kid for harrassment. Is this actually harrassment?

My friend Kate is driving me nuts!!! Every time I do something, she copies me. I have really curly hair naturally, but always straighten it. This year, I decided I was going to learn to love my natural hair, so I stopped. All of a sudden, Kate shows up to school with her hair curled, and says it's her natural hair (which I know it's not)! I have always been kinda proud of my culture (I'm half Jewish half Hawaiian) so I did hula for nine years. Suddenly Kate is a huge dancer! All she does is try to be cool and popular, and I'm sick of it! What should I do? I feel like if I confront her she'll just deny it.

I am 16 (male) and I have a foot fetsih, I have a friend (male) in my class and I like his feet and want to worship them. I would do anything to get to his feet, what should o do

I'm 24 and still have some social anxiety. Don't get me wrong, its way way better then what it used to be when i was a teen. I can talk etc but i'm just a little anxious about making a move and don't really know how to. Most girls i get to know i usually ending up being friends with because i wait to long i guess.. They mostly know me as a friendly type, almost as a gay friend LOL exept i'm not QQ. Would you be understanding of the situation if explained or would you rather be friends with such a guy? There is a girl of 22 i'm kind of into but don't really know how to go about it. I know her for sometime now and it hasn't gotten further then friendship. Wondering if i can change that Dx.

So a week ago, this girl bursted into tears and I went to ask her what was wrong. Turns out her bullies from the Philippines kept bullying her even though she's currently in the US. So I try my best to support her, but she keeps lamenting about it and even made suicide remarks. I still want to help her but now it's getting a little annoying what do I do?

Everything we do in the yard is being watched and copied (landscaping, decorations, even lawn items for animals (birds). It's annoying and I'm not flattered in the least. How to deal with the spying eyes from these people? Homes are close and there is a 4 foot fence. I want to yell "Go and get a brain! They might even be on sale!".

She says bad things for me in front of others to make me feel embarrassed She yell at me or attacking me without a reason When we speak with others she interrupt me all the time She says bad things for my look like that i am ugly and she enjoys it Some day she told me that a girl called me ugly behind my back only to make me feel bad She says to me that hot guys are not for me because i am not pretty enough

I have been experiencing family conflict ONLY with my older sister. Everytime I stand up to her when it's concerning my 2 kids which is 11 and 13 because she claims to be this loving auntie but never does anything with them and is always complaining of what they don't have rather then giving them praise for making honor roll, winning awards and being in honor classes. Ever since they was born we always stop talking then she start spreading lies to everyone would listen then wanna be my friend after it has die-downed. I don't mind talking to her but being her friend isn't what I'm interested in cuz it just seems like she hate everyone and likes nothing about no one. She be in church talking about how to hate this person and that person. My thing is why would a person wanna be friends with someone she hates? I just want her to be respectful towards my parenting with my kids and for 13 years she still isn't. My brother doesn't even talk to her because of this either. My daughter doesn't like her because of her disrespect and hating spirit towards everyone and never wants to do anything with her. She talks down on everyone she encounters. Everytime I set a boundary she goes over the line. She has no respect for me. So is it possible to mend this relationship?

It's pretty easy for me to make friends with guys, as i am a guy but I'm really shy when it comes to girls. I only have on female friend and I really don't know how that managed to happen. I just wanna know what i can do cause I don't wanna be a loner one day

I mean they let a kid 6 years younger get under there skin. Theres something wrong with the child development that shouldve been developed years ago

I m in my last year of Highschool and I am so happy that it s almost over. Ever since I moved schools a couple of years ago I ve been stuck with bad friends who are really mean to eachother and create drama all the time. I m so tired of their **** but I m scared to be seen as a loner (in the common room, during lunch..etc). I think people see me with these mean girls and assume I m like them when I am not at all. I go to a school where there are clear cliques and people aren t really welcoming unless you conform to be blunt. For me, I see two choices. One, I just hang out with them for the last 3 months and leave HS to go to University. Two, I distance myself and become a loner since the rest of my year have defined groups that I can t join since they ve known each other since primary What should I do?

whats up with that?

hi, i'm a 17 year old boy and i'm better off alone and doing things on my own. i'm not really good-looking or interesting and generally not good. the last friend i had was my best friend who has betrayed me in the end. i don't feel like opening up and become vulnerable and stuff. so, is there something wrong with me?

It's been almost 13 years since the "incident" but I know it's prob still fresh on his mind... He's probably gotten millions of things in the mail over the years, and a Marine friend who was aquantances with him told me he kinda "shy-ed away" from the public when he started getting lots of attention, like he didn't want that... (The Marine lives in China and I'm in US so he couldn't help me..) I already planned to send a box of stuff, and I can "tame it down" obviously but should I send the box at all..? I assume he's probably really tired of getting things, but I just want him to know we care about him and I kinda had some "sentimental things" to send him.. I dunno if it would be too much though.. I don't wanna be like the rest of the public and bombard and overwhelm him with tons of gifts and who knows what else, and I don't know if things will have calmed down after 13 years or not...? I still want to reach out somehow, and I'm not very talkative so letter would definitely be best way... Could there be some things I could say in the letter that others wouldnt say, something other than "ur a hero"? I have no idea what to say but I just wanna reach out/send something, but I also don't wanna be part of the crowd doing the same stuff... What else could I do...? Maybe reach out to his fallen comrades' families instead..? I would love to meet them or send something, but I have no idea what to give them either... Help??

I am friends with a guy, and I'm a little aggressive a bit too often. I think it's because I like him a little, but I've distanced myself for two years and want this friendship. Maybe I'm being hard on myself, but he's a lil sensitive, so what do I don't in moments where I playfully say "**** you" too much?

Hi im a girl and I have a friend who is also a girl, but I cannot for the life of me tell how she feels about me as a friend. So I really like her and really like being friends with her. But, she sends me mixed signals about how she feels about me though. Like whenever I see her around unexpectedly and stop to talk to her and hug her, she would seem like not that enthusiastic about seeing me and like wouldn't really hug me back. But the thing is, she's hugged me before so it's not like she hates physical contact I don't think? It's just like really awkward, but like also when we do hang out together (pre-planned hangout), she would always tell me how she wants to do all these cool things with me and hang out more with me. It seems like she does like being with me but also she acts weird around me sometimes? Please please tell me some of your ideas I'm so confused, thank you!

I wake up, go to school (which I hate I have no friends at my school and don't eat lunch since I have no one to eat with)( I am not doing well in school either my grades are slipping) then I go home and just lay around until I fall asleep. I constantly feel alone and like my friends don't care about me. I'm always the one to ask to hang out and they often cancel on me or are busy with their boyfriends I used to be closer to my friends and much happier. I often cry thinking about how my friends don't care about seeing me or really talking to me and how nothing in my life makes me happy anymore I'm always indoors or just laying around my house sometimes I won't leave for days at a time. My parents think I am depressed as well I really don't know what to do

In my last job I didn't talk much to people because I was afraid that if I made conversation somewhere along the lines I would say too much. Meaning I would say something funny but personal and then they would later bring it up and tell their coworkers and make fun or poke fun at me. I just got the vibe that that would happen. Am I in the wrong to no open up to people who I feel I can't trust? Situations like this would happen to me in high school and middle school and that's why I don't like to open up because people like to poke fun at my insecurities/personal not so serious stories

We broke up and when I tried going back(4 months ago) he said he wouldn't forgive me for saying something about his mom when he said something to mine first(idiotic).I didn't chase him. We ran into eachother one day i expected him to ignore but he smiled and said hi.Now he keeps looking at me, making eye contact and i caught him looking at me sneakily through the door crack. He's started coming out about the same time as I do and he said hi hesitantly and smiling. Today I was going down the stairs and he was behind me. He was "on the phone" saying he was leaving church and would call back which wasn't necessary since church was already over. I feel like he did it so I'd know he was behind me. We walked next to eachother he smiled and said how are you. We had a few exchanges and I asked him about his sick brother.

I made my mom cry and it was because we got in a fight and I told her I don't need her I can do my own stuff and something else slipped out. I really hate myself cause of what happened she got really mad It was all my fault and I don't know what to do I really love her. I was mad because my mom was brushing my hair it was wet and I started complaining that no its bad and then I made a huge problem over that I regret and then she started brushing my hair again after screaming and telling me again I feel really bad I then started saying stuff that hurt her feeling my dumb self said stuff I regret to never ever say in my life especially to my parents. I made her cry really bad and now shes sleeping in the couch I am in chair in the living room with her.

hi im 18 im still im highschool, i found out i was pregnant a couple of weeks ago. i havent told my parents because i know when i do i will get kicked out. yesterday i had an appt. and me and my boyfriend told his parents so i was at his house pretty late, i told my mom id be at a friends house because i can not tell her yet till i have enohg money put back and i know so,ewhere i can stay. i had told someone who i thought was a friend who was the only person on my side who knew the situation i told her im telling my parents im going to be over at your house tonight because of these reasons can you please cover for me if they ask. she said yes and my night went as best it could i got home later than when i was supposed to. my parents questioned me like they always do and then my mom texted my friend to see if i lied, and during this whole time id been texting her and she kept telling me i was okay whatever then i got home to know she had told my parents everything now i have no one idk what to do and where to turn

All my ex male friends ended up being interested in me

so my friend was making fun of my brother to the point where my fake smile turned to a straight face and i looked her straight in the eye and said "what did i say about saying mean things about other people?" then her voice and her hands were really shaky. what does this say/mean?

We were friends for around 6 years and the last couple of years he would flip out on me and end up makeing m3 break down and feel like scrap about myself mkst recently they did it and I ended the friendship but even though he was bad for me I am heart broken and miss them and try to think of ways its my fault and reasons to go back to him even though I know I shouldn't so what's the best way to forget about them

or vise versa. I am trying to get a true understanding of this. Have you knew any popular people that were friends with the unpopulars? and why? Thanks!!

Investigator hobbyists: trying to find info about an Art Aman who went to Gwinnett County Public Schools in the 1980s, and may have been from Gainesville, Georgia. May have had a grandfather by the same name, Art Aman, III?, . . . in 1980s phone books, from Gainesville, Ga. If someone could find their SSN#s and find a trail of what happened to the lesser elder, answer here.
