A guy who was a bully and mean to a disabled guy in school is now happy perfect has everything he wants and the disabled guy has all the problems

ok background. A few months ago, I met a family of 9 kids. I am 16 and they have a 15 year old daughter, 16 year old daughter, and 17 year old son. I became friends with all of them. While I was at their house, they invited their family friends over- a 14 year old son and 16 year old son. I lived in another state for the months after that, I kept in touch with them but was never close. When I moved home, I found out my one of my two close girlfriends was dating him. So I ended up hanging out with him a few times and we became each others best friend. So we were all close and hung out for a few months. Then I found out they broke up. They both leaned on me for a few months. I realized in just the last two months I actually do like him haha. But if I tell him i love him here are my concerns - the 15 year old daughter in my friends family likes him and would probably stop being my friend - his ex, one of my two close girlfriends would probably stop being my friends - he wouldnt feel the same and would stop being my friends - his 14 year old brother would stop being my friend if things get too awkward So should I go for it or just stay best friends? THANKS :)

so i'm in high school and my friend started dating a boy a few months ago and i hadn't known him at all before they started dating but now he's fully a part of our friend group, comes to every hang out, eats with us at lunch and hangs out with us after school. i posted on my snapchat story of my friends once about an idea that i had about something and he responded to it because he said he'd thought about that thing before too and we started discussing it and since then we've realized that we have a lot of similarities. it's been a month or two since then and we've found that our moms are very similar and we also have both discovered that it's very likely that we have undiagnosed adhd so there are a lot of things we can relate on that we can't really discuss with others. neither of us have any interest in each other. i like another boy and he regularly tells me how in love he is with my friend and stuff like that and it doesn't feel like we're doing anything wrong or anything that should be a secret but i've started to wonder whether or not it's okay that we've started to text regularly or have serious discussions my former boyfriend and my best friend were very very close while i was dating and it didn't bother me at all but i do realize that it's different because they were friends before he and i dated and just became closer after we started dating

I started a meetup group six months ago. There are a total of seven members and six of us are almost present in all activities. Its an all exclusive women's group sharing the same interests, dining, concerts, the arts & museums, etc. In one of our recent meetups for happy hour in a nice restaurant, we got to share our birth signs and of course the traits of each sign was brought up. I am a Leo and one member who was the least warm towards me, said in her own words, "Leos are so controlling!". She also shared that her sister is a Leo, too, and that she loves to to post selfies. She said this in a exasperated tone about her sister. I did not react to her comment about Leos. At some point I took our group selfie photos. The purpose is to post the photos in our meetup page. She reminded me about 3 times to text her the photos. The others never did that probably because they knew I was going to post them online like I always do after a meetup. I don't want to rock the boat or have any conflict but she seems to be the type to egg or try to provoke a reaction. Should I do the same thing to her and clap back in the same level? As an organizer, I have the ability to remove her in the group and even ban her from joining again.

Ok so heres the story- Me (16 yo fm) My best friend (16 yo m) and his brother (14) and I are friends with 3 kids. The 3 kids are all siblings (15 yo fm) (16 yo fm) and (17 yo m). My best friend and his brother moved an hour away from me in September and the other family moved 3 hours away from me in October. I see my best friend and his brother once a month and I have not seen the other family since october.  The brother of the family and I liked each other for a really long time and were almost dating but it wasnt official. However; on new years eve he told me he didnt really like me anymore.  The very same day, my best friends brother told me they were in town overnight and asked if they could see me new years day before they went home. I said sure and met them at their hotel. However; the brother of the family who "broke up" with me so to speak was there. My best friend tried to surprise me.  I know my best friend didnt know but i cant help but be kind of upset? What do I do

She's 20 or 21 and I could not find any death notices for her on the internet

Hello, I was friends with a group of girls for about a year. I always knew one of them was toxic, but I thought I was the only one in my group who noticed it. Anyways I'm going to make this short; We started high school, and she was being really toxic towards me getting me into drama and making me feel negative. She was always talking about me because she talks about everyone. Even her own friends. I dropped her, and it didn't end well.. she got all my friends except for 2 against me. I was constantly harassed online for weeks even though I blocked them, they still had a way to contact me. School was terrible.. about 2 months after I dropped her she accused me of hacking her Facebook (which I didn't) and went on a rant through video chat talking about how she was going to burn my house down, shoot me and my mama in the head, pop our tires, and quote on quote said "b*tch I will go to hell for this but I don't care that's how much I hate you, if I can't kill you I will get someone else to". Those 10 minutes were terrible, she said the most inhumane stuff to me. I didn't say anything the whole time because she wouldn't shut her mouth, but I broke down crying after. I already take the highest dosage of Zoloft I Can for depression, but it doesn't work anymore. I didn't go to school the whole week. The first day my parents and I went to the school and the officer said she's all talk and nothing they could do. I'm enrolled to online schooling now because they won't stop. Pls help :(

My friend just invited to a pool party by some popular students she met from a club at her college.  She tells me that she is really excited about it as the day of the party will be a hot day and perfect to go swimming.  She also said that she already sent some song requests to the DJ who would be at the party.  She added the fact that since it is a hot day at the party, she is psyched to be wearing a bikini while dancing when her requested songs play as she has never danced in a bikini before.  I feel some concern when she said this.  As it is a college party, a lot of people would most likely attend.  In that case, I feel that she would draw some unwanted attention to the guys at the party as she said she will likely be dancing in her bikini.  I feel that guys at the party would likely record or take pictures of her while dancing and post the content online for their benefit.  As my friend was so excited, she may not see this consequence.  However, if I tell her about it, I feel that I might be ruining the fun for her.  How can I warn and help her about this situation without upsetting her?

Most of my friends are now couples, and I often get the impression that they don't want their still-single friends hanging out with them. But they say otherwise

I'm 17 and my mom is still in her 30's and my classmates call me an accident because she had me so young. 

 I'm a 21 year old man and my life is going amazing. I work a steady job at a grocery store, I have great family, I date, and I drive a cool car. Here's the problem. Back in the fall, I was befriended by a customer, a 48 year old woman. She was a mutual friend on Facebook, and she friended me. She began to frequently message me on Facebook and we talked, met for coffee, etc. she then revealed to me her boyfriend she lives with is extremely physically abusive. He breaks her bones, doesn't take her to the hospital, and threatens her if police were ever contacted, what the repercussions would be. She expects to basically use me as her diary entry and tells me never to do anything to help. So, I can't call police. I can't go after him myself. I have a good life. I don't want to get wrapped up with this psychopath. But I can't just hear these stories and do nothing. I'm thinking about tracking down a family member of hers and explaining the situation. That way if nothing else this isn't like... my fault. She's made it my business. But even if I did that, my friend "loves" her boyfriend and he's just "mean" sometime. He's breaking her bones. And sleep depriving her. Her trying to be friends with me was basically a cry for help and she's made me feel responsible. What can I do?! I'm freaking out. The abusive boyfriend is also a customer of mine at work. So I have to be careful. If he found out, he could key my car, attack me, etc.

Ill get to the point. Im 31 and never had a date with any woman because of a deep fear of rejection along with lots of other self esteem and body image issues. Im a 3 on the looks scale (out of 10) but only want a woman who's a 7+, and I'm prepared to kill myself if i don't meet a woman that meets that criteria by the time I'm 35, after which point the women all turn into ugly prunes and the sex is bad, (i imagine)This is not a threat, i DO NOT  feel owed a hot woman, its just a line in the sand I've drawn for my self. If i cant find the woman i want who accepts me as who i am ( although i am trying to work out and eat better), then id rather kill myself than be alone for ever or lower my standards and settle. Settling is not fair to the woman and not fair to me, and its insulting. I DO NOT HATE HOT/SKINNY WOMEN for not wanting to date me- i understand that no one wants to be with fat and ugly people, not even OTHER fat and ugly people. Im a beggar who wants to be a chooser, but i do t hold it against anyone.That being said is it wrong that i feel this way? Is it wrong that im willing to kill myself as a fck you to the universe for making me unable to lower my standards? I have never been able to wrap my head around how "personality" can make up for obesity- any real relationship depends greatly on good sex, and you cant have good sex with some one who isn't attractive- i don't understand how personality makes up- i dont want to "date in my league" because my league is ugly

A group of boys who are friends do the following on a regular basis to a quiet/passive girl Lily: push her down, taunt, and/or mimic her Although she's not the only quiet/passive peer they're familiar with & Lily has gotten her revenge on the leader before they started routinely doing those things to her, her mother tells her, "Of all the girls, they choose you 'cuz you'd just let them do it whereas another girl would say something back!" FYI, Lily did inform her mom about the time she got back at the one then. Is this response really helping someone be more assertive & not be a target of future bullying? Because Lily defending herself for the rest of the year doesn't stop them. Not to mention: Bullying can happen to anyone. People often find it easier to tell a victim how he should change than to place the responsibility on the bully. People should have the freedom to move about in the world without fear of being attacked.

I've been using tinder to make new girl friends ( I am female ) because I recently had a falling out with my old ones. I've hung out with a few people who I have a lot in common with, and the dates go well, but it seems every time I can only get two dates into the friendship before the person becomes busy whenever I ask to hang again, I usually say "it's all good, just let me know when you can" and take it easy, but people never get back to me. I genuinely don't think it's because I've done anything unappealing, people just seem to lazy to exert effort to make plans. In my head I think that if people like me and want to be my friend they will, and will reciprocate effort, but they never do. I'm always the one having to initiate hang outs, even when I have well established friendships. I wonder if I seem to eager, but I really try not to, I'm just straight up trying to make plans casually. What am I doing wrong? What are some ways to approach asking differently to make people say yes or care enough to give me an alternate time/place? Every time it's the sort of thing where it's like you say "hey we should hang out sometime!" And they're like "yeah for sure!" And then they never get back to you.
