I went out partying with my friends and everyone was having a great time and drinking heavily. I decided (with the approval of my friends) that I was gonna go home with someone that I knew at the club and that I would pick my car up the next day. The other friends Uber'd to a friends house and when they got there, one of them INSISTED on driving home. Everyone was trying to convince him to not drive drunk (offering their couches to crash on, attempting to take his keys away, offering to Uber him home, etc.), and he fought back with every excuse he could think of. Eventually he "agreed" to stay at one friend's house. While there, he said he was going to walk down the street to get food and never came back. My friends called and texted him with no response. The next morning, we all find out that he totaled his car while driving drunk on a curvy road and luckily survived with only minor injuries. Now we all feel incredibly guilty. I feel guilty for not being there to stop him from driving (because I went home with someone else) because I'm sure I would have been able to stop him as he's closer to me than anyone else. My friends feel guilty because he basically tricked them after all of their attempts of getting him to stay put and not drive anywhere. The guilt is eating us all alive but we're also not sure if we should be feeling this way. He's a full grown adult that made an extremely irresponsible decision even after everyone made genuine attempts to warn him and stop him.

A friend once told me that owls can eat almost anything except pineapples, because the acid in the pineapple is too strong for their stomach lining. But my new friends now are calling me an idiot. So, can they eat pineapples??

Alright so i have this one friend.. lets call her Katy, i have known Katy since third grade and iv'e seen lice crawling at least once (or more) times every single school year.. (We are now both in 7th grade).. She tells her close friends like me that her having lice is just a rumor and i just go along with it even though she actually does have it.. im to scared to say anything to her though.. in about 5th grade people actually started talking about it and one of the popular girls came up to me and said "Did you see the bug crawling in Katys hair?" and i just said yeah.. im so worried for her and i want her to get rid of it but shes had it for 5 years and ive still seen it in her hair quite recently!! the thing that scares me the most is that she touches heads with her mom, sister, and my other friend...what should i do?? should i tell a teacher? im scared to tell a teacher... katy has been sent home for having lice before in like third grade and everyone got head checks but she still has it..?? someone please help... and i for sure dont wanna bring it up and straight up tell her "you have lice".. please help me!! :( Oh btw idk if she knows she has it or not.. and our ex friend (Me and katy got in to a fight with her) she also knew that katy had lice but she stayed quiet like me! Another one of mine and katys ex friends said that shes been over katys house and that it was really dirty and unclean but idk if this is true or not..

Hhh i know i shouldn't keep coming here for answers but oh well- does anyone else not feel comfortable around anyone? I am selectively mute (i know i bring this up in every question i ask im annoying <:">) so this mostly just refers to internet friends and texting. anyways, I just never feel comfortable talking to my close internet friends too,, i only felt like I could be myself and open up to my very close friend group in this sk amino but we just started drifting apart this november so.. now i really only talk to my gf that used to be apart of the group as well. It just makes me feel like a freak that i can never feel comfortable and talk freely even over a text, so i need help to fix it- thank you^^

So my friend blocked me and my other friend on instagram and we dont know why but shes clearly not mad at my other friend so i had my other friend ask her if shes mad at me and she told me our other friend said yes and idek why? like ever since she started being mad at me, at first me and friend 1 though friend 2 was mad at both of us but it was all along just me and they also sit away from us at lunch?? and everytime i get someone to ask friend 2 why shes mad at me she always says "idk" ive tried messaging her with other accounts on instagram asking why shes mad at me but she ignores me and anyone else who i ask to ask her and if someone ask her in real life shell just say idk when they ask if shes mad at me.. i have no idea what i did and i wanna be friends with her again and friend 1 hangs out with her a lot and it kind of annoys me because i have to tag along with friend 1 so im not alone and im around friend 2... but anyway why could she be mad at me?? i asked my friend to text her over instagram and ask why shes mad and i told my friend to tell her "idk is not an answer" and i still havent gotten a response... what should i do?

So I'm a senior and prom is coming up but the thing is I'm a loner I have no friends and don't speak to anyone I been at this new school since I was bullied in my last one I switched school everyone thinks of me as the quiet kid should I go to prom or would it just be a waste of time

One of my friends continually bullies me and tries to control my life. The other day, I parked in her unassigned parking spot behind our house (we don't have assigned spots but my roommates decided to basically all park in the same spot). I parked there the other day without thinking about it because our other roommates weren't there, she came in my room when she got home and she yelled at me like I cheated on her boyfriend. She went off to me telling me I was inconsiderate and how those spots were "assigned" back two years ago when we moved in. I'd never seen her that pissed off. She's one of those that has to have her way and I get the least desired things in every situation. She "called" the biggest room in our house (I of course got the smallest), she told me when we moved in that I couldn't keep anything out on the bathroom counter (no toothpaste, retainers, only soap) I learned that quickly after she kept throwing my stuff into the drawer when I'd nearly leave it out, and she'll leave me passive aggressive sticky notes if something is dirty (assuming the dirtyness is my fault). Also she tries to take guys from me even if she knows I like them, because she thinks she can get every guy out there. This girl is psycho. I can't be the only one to think this girl is crazy. Does anyone else think these actions are absurd?

so i'm going with my friend to my school's winter formal but my other friend is asking to join. i don't want her to. how do i tell her no without hurting her feelings?

I have changed my school this year. im a senior student. at the beginning of the year everyone wanted to be my friend till that day. i started to fight with someone who took my sit and then i had a fight with a girl who humiliated my ancestors and i cried so hard because i was afraid i am going to be bullied again.(THE REASON WHY I CHANGED MY SCHOOL). nobody defend me against that girl . Everyone was on her side. and after that i stop receiving invitations and everyone exclude me from their groups and the one who was suppose to be my friend call me mad dog and shouted at me for a stupid thing in front of everyone. another girl always humiliate me in the groups and made me cry 5 or 6 time in 5 month. they call me sensitive but when i treat them like themselves they get pissed off. some people just shout at me and want to fight me. whenever i am active at class the aggressive leo with her sag friend laugh. and the worst thing happened today. someone fart and she shouted and make everyone thought it was me. it was humiliating. She is also like a doggg! i changed my sit and the one who sat behind me tell everyone that fart smell is from me and i wasnt. i dont know what to do and why everyone are mean to me although im nice and also stand for myself when they want to cross me. i am afraid of getting into trouble if i get into general meanness. but why is that always me? what is my problem????? why nobody likes me? i just want to be respected the way i respect everyone

Been living with my closest friends for the past 8 or so months, and one of them (Jay) announced that he would be moving out to persue a job in another state. Then I asked my other friend (Nic) what he plans on doing, and he said he would be moving out too. This already upsets me because they aren t giving me enough time to make my own plan on what I m going to do with my own situation because I was not expecting this at all. So in order to not last out in anger I go away for a couple days to figure out a plan, and start apartment searching. When I come back I see Nic is packing, he won t talk to me. Later that day he leaves with all of his stuff and still refuses to talk to me. He left without any warning, and with no concern about us two, me and Jay. I ve been calling to no avail. He s also skipping out on paying this month s rent which he said he would pay. How do I get him to talk to me? He s really hurt me with this decision.

Having friends is not easy for me because I do have some kind of social disability and i'm a 27 year old female. I do have friends though but it's just I get in these moods to where sometimes I think that I don't want any and when I do hang out with one of my friends i'm sad when it's over because I don't hang out with any of my friends much at all because they are all so busy and I really only have like 2 friends that talk to me first and I have only 3 friends that live in the same town as me

Where i live, just about everyone I encounter are 'down to earth' but carries attitudes that should only exist within a prison. It's all drugs gang activity and violence. When I dig out here to find the 'normal' people in my hometown I end up running into preppy stuck up people. They make fun of the way you talk, they harrass you over the way you are. They won't let you in. They talk down to you. Any suggestions any tips on finnding down to earth people?

For some reason, girls who kept their legs closed cuz they were stuckup believed that when it came to me doing stuff, they would step in. I got made fun of because the guy I chose "wasnt cute enough". I was always in the spotlight and i couldnt have a private life because they watched me like vultures. I was NEVER friends with them but they were majorrr cockblockers. So were some of the boys who were WEIRD af, they had crushes on me so they made fun of me. Like what??? Anyway, the end of highschool, i didnt date anybody who was cool or got to do any drugs because people who i made it OBVIOUS i wasnt cool with, claimed me before I could meet new people. I skipped school and ran away a lot just so I could finally do stuff.

Tonight I added an old friend/bf of mine's mother. I am not sure why I did tbh. My mom was also friends with her on social media a while back too. I'm actually the one who unfriended my old bf's mom. Not her. The add friend option also greyed out too. But I'm worried word could get to him now that I did that. She likely thinks I'm going to try and snoop on her and her family when I'm not. But I also know I need to take a step back and look at it from another perspective as well. What should I do?? He and I also don't really speak regularly either now, even though he and I reconnected again on social media. I'd never pursue a relationship with him again now though based on what's happened between him and I when we dated as adults in our early 20s. We originally met in PE class in middle school. But we were just friends. Hope he doesn't try and unfriend me either. I know I'm blocked from calling/texting him though even though he likely blocked me from doing that years ago.

I introduced my best friends to each other and they've gotten really close. I constantly feel like that awkward third wheel friend. I live with the one and whenever the other comes over and spends the night she stays with the other one. And now the one started dating the others roommate do they're together even when they're with their boyfriends. Idk what to do. They are my closet friends

I'm 16 years old, a few months away from getting my liscense, going to get a job this summer. All of my friends are 'school friends'. Meaning I only talk and hangout with them at school. I don't really do anything other than play video game because I have nothing better to do because its winter. During the summer I go on bike rides through the nearby neighborhoods and skateboard. I swim when it gets really hot. I have guitar lessons year round every tuesday. I'm not good with talking to people I'm not friendly with. I tend to say things that are severely out of context and/or use the completely wrong words, my vocabulary is not all that big. I struggle with taking and giving compliments. It looks like I don't mean what i say, when i actually do. My mom wants me to become a lifeguard. Which, I mean, I want to, it's just I would die, and I mean die, just sitting out in the sun for 5 hours. And I'm not a very strong swimmer.

One of my friends continually bullies me and tries to control my life. The other day, I parked in her unassigned parking spot behind our house (we don't have assigned spots but my roommates decided to basically all park in the same spot). I parked there the other day without thinking about it because our other roommates weren't there, she came in my room when she got home and she yelled at me like I cheated on her boyfriend.

So I have this friend who is really annoying (let's call her Sam). Three of my friends and I became friends with her over the summer. Sam was fine until after a couple months of hanging out with her. Every time I talk to her, the convo ALWAYS somehow goes back to her talking about herself and kpop. I thought it was just me at first, but my three other friends started bringing it up. My three friends and I don't like it how she tries to forcefully be in the original gang. My friends and I have known each other for more than 5 years and Sam try really hard to be part of the group and we've only known her for 6 months. I feel like she has to give us some time to kind of get used to her hanging out with us at our own pace, but she just always cling onto one of us and tries to hang out with us 24/7. The OG gang have matching shirts for 2 years now and Sam is complaining why she didn't get one and she thought she was part of the group. My friends are telling me how Sam is really clingy with me and I have to agree to that. When I talk to her she always mentions about kpop 24/7. I like kpop too, but I have seen someone this obsessed with kpop. She said for her birthday she wanted me to take her out to some Korean restaurant and Korean market that I go to a lot. I'm Vietnamese but I feel like she's just hanging out with me 24/7 because I'm the closest to the Korean culture she has bc I go to Korean restaurants sometimes e Ex 1: My friend asks me how my grandma is doing at the hospital since she's getting surgery and doing physical therapy so she can walk again. Sam cuts me off and sad "Oh! I know what your grandma is going through. Remember when I told you I had a small surgery on my ankle?....blah blah blah". Ex2: There is a group of students who are going to Greece trip over the summer and I'm going and Sam is also going. Sam: "I cannot wait for the trip! I'm gonna sneak out drink and you're gonna take care of me since I'm not the responsible one." Me: "You shouldn't drink at all. It's bad for your liver and we're underage." Sam: "Come on! it'll be fun! you should let loose and lil bit." Me: "I'm not going to drink and you shouldn't either." So she posts everything on snapchat and she would post vids of me and my friend without us knowing which weirded everyone out and some it every have private convo in there. We brought up the convo to Sam and she took it personally and got defensive about it.

I'm 23 and my dad is 52. He slept with my 25 year old friend. They're both telling me that they are adults and that it's okay for them to sleep together, but the age gap is weird to me, plus I find it weird for someone to sleep with their friend's father, or for someone to sleep with their daughter's friend. Am I being paranoid or am I right?

I have this 'best friend' I known since 7th grade (at least six years ago) and I'm not sure if she really cares about me anymore? I mean I understand when people fall apart because of certain reasons but honestly... she makes me feel like ****. She's still in high school while I graduated early and now I'm in college. the thing is my college is right across from her high school and she literally lives a street across from me. we have each other on social media and she's always active and always has some friends over. but she stopped texting me and coming over/inviting me over since she started going out with this... person I'm not very fond of. Ive known 'him' when I started going to hs and I never liked him. hell, she almost broke off our friendship because I didn't like him and visibly showed it. I sometimes can tell she's only going out with him because he gives her the guilty card with his dysphoria and depression. he thinks he's the victim to every single situation. now she's been excluding me off of everything and she was literally my only friend... I can tell how she fakes her interests in our conversations and whenever I tell her whats happening in her face she makes herself and her bf the victims. what the hell do I do??

my mom and i needed to find a cat babysitter and it took me a day to find one. so my mom was on her phone on the speaker, and she says the person on her phone she doesn't trust but i wasn't really paying attention to the person she was talking to and i got a text from my friend saying that she can take care of my cats temporarily. and i got excited and blurted out "oh mom i got....blah blah." and she hung up a few minutes later and she said "Why did you just call me mom when my enemy was on the phone?" so my mom doesnt like people to know she has a kid and when i said that she got mad. i didn't do it intentionally i just got excited and she says im making up an excuse. and she says she cant trust me anymore, and that im her enemy now that i blurted out i said mom.
