A while ago I put up a question about why my bully hates me, but now I don't know what to think anymore. It's been a week since school got out for the summer, and this has been on my chest since then so I wanted to get answers from other sources. The whole bully situation was taken care of, and he never really bothered me after that, only glanced at me from time to time. Though sometimes I would catch him looking at my while I was talking to my friends. Although that may have been since I was being loud. Anyways, on the last day of school, I was sitting next to my friend drawing in my sketchbook, when he comes up to me. The conversation goes a little like this: "Hey, can I ask you a question?" "Uuuh...sure, what is it?" "I was wondering...ack, never mind." And then he just walks away. My friend turns to me and says that she thinks we are going to get married, so I laugh and disagree with her. A little later, I was packing up my stuff because class was almost over, and the bullies best friend comes over to me and tells me that the bully was going to ask me out. I don't know if this was true or not, and if it is true, I don't know how I should handle a situation like this. When I first told my mom about the bullying, she told me about how when she was my age people said that boys only bully girls if they like them. If anybody could give me advice, that would be great. Especially since we are in the same grade, and I have to see him next year.

They would harass you, involk a fight with you or try to do something to you and you report it, they get talked to. Then afterwards the bully goes out and talks to everyone and causes the people to become hostile towards you, to avoid and shun you to start stuff with you and to join in the harassment. You go in the next day and the harassment increases and the bully says 'It doesn't help if you complain it just gets back' So you have a bigger report now. How do you handle a bully like this.

I was helping my crush with a paper she had for one of her classes. I sat next to her while she was on the computer but I noticed she was getting a little annoyed with me so I left her and went to another computer and started my own work. She finishes and comes to my computer to say she was leaving. I catch up to her and ask her if she can drive me back to our living area. I later text her to tell her that I was excited to be around her that day and would like to get to know her more. She text me back 2 days later and told me that I creeped her out and that I also creeped out her friends, even though they were not there, and that she does not want any friendship with me and she ended it with You creeped me out. Then she tells her friends about the situation and tells them what she wrote to me. Now I know her father committed suicide and I want to hurt her by texting this, " I can see why your father committed suicide, he had a piece of a **** of a daughter, " should I repay hurt for hurt?

I see this all the time, the type of people who make fun of children or people with autism are always the kindhearted, pure, emotional type? They also tend to be very social and have amazing personalities as well? Why is this?

I'm a 21 year old female that lacks communication skills. Currently in the military at a new command I find myself alone in my room a lot (or on the phone with family). I'm only fun or entertaining to others when I'm drunk and dancing in some club. When People talk to me I usually smile and say a few words. I know I can do better when I'm comfortable but for some reason I'm not. I'm bored with no friends, my family says I should love myself (I thought I did). What can I do to turn this all around for the positive?

Hi. I was corresponding with a man online back and forth we send nude pictures and fantasize about doing things to each other. The problem is his schedule and work kept us from meeting up which I was really looking forward too because neither of us had sex in a long time. Thinking it would never happen I slept with someone else so did he then we had a falling out and stop talking. We started talking again I told him I just wanted to be friends no sex involved I started seeing a married man on a regular basis we had sex in his cars, his wife's car, in the woods even in his wife's bed twice while she was out of town I know but he wanted too for some reason I think to get back at her. Anyway I told the other guy I been pretty much busy seeing him and he gets mad about not sleeping with him he refuses to speak to me unless I have sex with him. I'm thinking of cutting ties between being in a relationship and seeing this married man is a lot on my plate.

They make me feel inferior to my brother, tell me only to do the household as this is the girls' job, not the boys, tell me not to even talk to boys and avoid me from dancing or singing. They beat me up with sticks if I don't follow them. They threaten me that they will do my marriage if I don't go according to their wishes and become a doctor. All of my friends wear shorts but I am not allowed to. They never even try to listen to my wishes and wills

My friend is hosting a party and sent out invitations, however he recently is planning on uninviting a friend. I asked why and he said it's because he feels that the friend hangs out with other people and the friend hosting feels excluded. I told them that it is rude but the friend who is hosting's best friend says it isn't. What do you think?

My long term friend sent a text the day after my birthday & said she thought about me all day yesterday on my birthday. Why not send me the text on my birthday then? I'm going to still be friends with her, but I find this rude & strange to do. None of you are getting the point here. She didn't forget, she said she thought about all day yesterday. How long does it take to send a text? NOT LONG. I didn't say I was going to end the friendship over this, but I found it strange & will wish her a happy birthday the day after hers is over also.

I had sex with this guy once and I told this guy that I like how he touched me and that he was really gentle. And he said he's usually not but that he only did it because it was my first time. I also asked him if he liked it and he said he enjoyed it very much.

Throughout my freshman and sophomore year, I never really had any close friends. A lot of my freshman year was spent struggling with loneliness and bullying. This all changed when I met a few senior friends, my sophomore year. I grew a strong bond with them and now they've just finished their last day of school. I'm hurting so much because they were so kind, goofy, chill, and yet much more mature compared to the underclassman. I even shed a few tears when I came home today because of this. They were the very best part of my high school experience and I have been broken and devastated ever since i've come home. My self esteem has dropped significantly and my positive happy-go-lucky attitude has disappeared. I'm not looking forward to my junior and senior year. I don't know if i'll end up meeting friends like them in this school or if I just got lucky to have been at the right place at the right time. I think i'm going to end up staying a little more closed off and detached from my peers so I don't have to keep going through this and just focus on myself. I plan on working out, getting good grades, and staying to myself until the end of high school as a way to cope. How do I stop feeling so depressed about them leaving? They weren't perfect but they were the nicest people i've ever met here. They've helped me get through a lot of rough times. I'm scared and really don't want to go back to being lonely again and having to deal with my high school struggles all by myself.

In my last job, 15 years ago, I had a coworker that I liked a lot. I'm a straight guy; she was married at the time but now is divorced, with a boyfriend. I moved 600 miles away and now she and her boyfriend just look me up when they come to my town once a year, and we meet for lunch. She also keeps me on her email forward list and sends political emails (which I don't agree with). Two years ago, I took them for lunch at a private club where I am a member. Her boyfriend loudly used the N-word (we are white) and told stories about being kicked out of restaurants for bad behavior. She didn't use the N-word but said that she calls African-Americans "Canadians" so that she won't get in trouble. I got sick of her political emails (we used to both be Republicans, but I don't care for Donald Trump and am now independent), so I put her on "block sender". I guess I missed an email just to me, as she's texted and called. I haven't responded, and now it's been a few weeks. I was hoping that this friendship would just fade out, but she called me at work 2 days ago and didn't leave a message, so she's clearly checking on me. I don't want to be a jerk although I guess I am for not responding. Other than having a lousy boyfriend, she's never done anything "wrong" to me, other than the semi-racist remarks. How would you handle this? I could just email and apologize for not responding sooner, and maybe she's get the hint that we're sone as friends. Thanks.

I want to try new things but I'm: -a minor -broke and my friends live far away/are actually responsible. I've tried a lot of pretty dumb stuff recently (smoking, drinking, vaping, getting in trouble at school, etc...) and they're fun but I don't know that I like who I become when I do them. How can I have adventures that help me grow/aren't expensive?

She moved like 1,000 miles away. The last time i went tl visit her she asked me to stay longer but i did not. Needless to say we are no longer talking. And she has a confused idea about what i did when i went to visit her. I miss her like crazy. Why isnt she my friend anymore. How will i ever replace her. Ive been living in this town for many yeara and i havent been able to make a friend thats has been as close as that friend im talking about. Where does one go to make friends?

not even in a romantic way, just as a friend, coworker or brief interaction in day-to-day life, what makes a person really stick in your mind as a lovely person?

She has this thing where whenever she gets mad at me she'll always be "right" or she'll be like. "I hate you" and ignore me or block me. Our friend group just says it's her personality and it's TOTALLY FINE.

So I'm reposting this because I didn't get any answers on my last one and I really don't know what to do! I have a really good friend I've known for 4 years. We are really right and talk/see each other almost every other day. She has always gone through periods of being low or upset, but the last few weeks she's completely dropped off the grid without any warning. She's not tried to get in contact with me (unusual) and ignored all my calls and texts (very unusual). She did reply once to say sorry and shed been really busy, I told her to give me a call when she's got a second and never heard back. She hasn't been to see any of our other friends and when me and our mutual friend (someone she really loves to see) tried to organise a group hang she hardly responded. When I did see her once she hardly spoke and then left, she seemed completely disinterested or something. I've spoken to other people and all she does it go to work and go home. She does have a stressful job and she had a pretty **** year (break up and broke her foot, resulting in her having to miss out on going to the job shed worked all year to get into). Idk if she's depressed or what's going on and I'm confused, what do I do? She won't reply or come out it's almost like she hates me now??

We got in a fight. She showed our friend group her outfit and asked for thoughts. I didn't reply because I forgot to. And she was like "I love S/O only here bc she actually compliments me". I said her outfit was cute and I think what she said was mean. She was like "no" "your only saying that to make me feel better. And she says "I hate you all" and she leaves the groupchat. I told her that she shouldn't be saying she hates us unless she actually does, and how what she's saying is rude and how she should talk to us about it instead of making s huge deal of it. WAS I RIGHT FOR SAYING THAT

So right now I just finished my freshman year of high school and me and this girl have been best friends since 5th grade, however we are polar opposites. This year has really made me realize hiw different we really are. She has made all of these new friends from the sports she does and is popular with the boys. We were both always really similar in wearing modest clothing and swimsuits and shes started wearing skimpier clothes and bikinis while I dont even where tank tops. Im personally much much more on the creative side and am very possesive of my ideas and she knows this but copies them anyways. She copies my hobbies, style and even has taken up sewing which hurts the most because to me it was something special I do that helps me connect with my grandmother. She keeps going on with new friends and new people and I feel like i've been left behind in the dust. I had a group of about 11 friends over for a bonfire and she and two of my other friends got on really well the whole night and I just felt so out of place. They are also loud and excited and immature together while im the pilar opposite, quiet and demure. I just couldn't handle it or her. I need a new best friend to replace the one who has forgotten me.
