Open Question: How to get out of friend zone?

I've fallen for this friend at work. I want her so bad, I,ve hinted to her my feelings and have not really got the reaction I wanted. We flirt a lot and have fun, but I've noticed she gets a lot of attention from men (like her groupies shall I say). And I face a lot of competition. I get really jealous and upset because I know what men are like and I don't want just be her friend but much more than that. I cannot figure out why she doesn't want me and has the same feelings as me as we get on so well. At first I tried not caring still being her friend flirting hard and just trying to be happy all the time. But when it was my birthday recently she was calling me buddy, arrrgghhh! So now I'm trying to keep my distance being polite by saying hi or bye but not giving her the same attention. I know she knows something is not right but I thought If I act as I got other things going on she'll miss me and realise what she is missing, I try to talk to other girls in front of her to make her jealous. But part of me is scared of losing her completely. What shall I do I love her so much? more

Open Question: how to fix a drunk texting/calling disaster?

so last night i went out with ny friends and got pretty trashed. me and this guy have been talking for a month or so and dating like officially for just a week. it's his birthday today so at 12 last night me and m friends called him and start screaming happy birthday. he laughed and started saying something and i called him a dick and hung up. i hardly remember any of this.so, in my drunken state i keep calling and texting him like messages that say "qre you aeale?" and "ki miass stojer" like totally incoherent. he was in the bars getting drunk too for his 21st bday so he wont write me back. apparently i used the phones of some people we were with and started calling him off them, he would answer and somebody would take the phone and tell him i was drunk and i dont remember what else. here comes the bad part: apparently and i remember this, when i called him i would tell him that i wanted to give him head, have sex with him and that i loved him. DO NOT know why i said this and i was so drunk i dont even remember what he said in return. i checked my phone this morning and i texted him like 10 times, and called 17 times. he texted me back once and called me at like 5 this morning but i was passed out. how on earth do i fix this? what is he gonna think? more

Open Question: How can I deal with a terrible dad?

My *father* is pyschologically sick and has always gone out of his way to hurt me. He started off by just being abusive to my mother and angry at everyone around him, but in recent years he has started a vendetta against me because I'm the only one who stood up to him. He paid for my younger sister to go to college and won't pay for me. She is not even that interested in academics whereas I am very academic and it was my dream. I also got very high grades. He also tells me: "I will never help you to get what you want". I am a nice girl and have always done well at school. I don't drink heavily, never smoked, never did drugs and am ambitious. He doesn't like my ambition because he was not ambitious himself. He is a misogynist and dislikes smart women. Even if they are his own daughter! He treats my sister like gold and rubs it in my face. He just let her go to university and yet told me I'd have to work myself for it. When I was a child he used to act aggressive towards my friends if he met them so I didn't bring them home. Now, he acts specially nice to them. Not so that nobody expects abuse, but just to put me down. I feel so lost and alone. The ones I am supposed to be able to turn to (my parents) are abusive. What can I do? I tried to see a counsellor but she was no help emotionally. She just said: "Well, what are u going to do?" I said, "make enough money on my own to go to college". She said: "Good, u don't need me then" and went to see the next person. If u want to get a decent counsellor u have to pay money (which I don't have). I will be starting college 3 years late for no reason at all, except for him. On my 18th and 21st birthdays, he would not say happy birthday, didn't write me a card nor give me any kind of present. Conversely, he took my sister on a special vacation for hers and through my mom a huge 50th birthday party. The abuse is not physical so there is nothing prosecutable. I want him to pay for what he has done and left me in such an awful situation. How can I rectify what he has done? I need some kind of support base and to build back up my self-esteem, but I doubt I'll get one. more

Open Question: Ok what is this difference between 15 and 16 or 16 and 18 or.... 17 and 18? that makes someone child or adult?

Ok what is this difference between 15 and 16 or 16 and 18 or.... 17 and 18? that makes someone child or adult? or even 17 and 20? All this talk about the law and what is a minor, what defines a child and adult. How they will have so much experience or manipulation skills or life experience etc so what exactly are we talking about and where is the eveidence EVERYONE will have don these things be a certain age. Ie the silly question of what does a 16 and 20 year old have in common...? why dont people pause and think about it having noted say they are both wearing Prodigy t shirts, have neon glow hair and seen in the same moshpits then playing Doom 3, kising and making out, and going to parties and action movies. emmn think pause here's a thought manybe they have similar music interests, like action movies, computer games, parties and like kissing... OHHH WOW I AM SOOOOO MUCH SMARTER THEN MOST FOLK HERE FOR SPOTTING THAT ONE THAT THEY DIDN'T. Or is it that many folk here are too stupid to note things like similar interests? Many friends were still living at home with mum beyond 18 some into mid 20s as job could not pay rent, many in education till 20s, others going to university then back home with mum as only getting work experience or rookie level job whihc dont pay the rent till promoted. So not sure where the adults all have lived on their own bit comes from In what way do peoples interests change. me and my friends were in nightclubs and bars mostly heavey metal ones from 16. at 24 were going to the same sort of places. never really drunk much at 16 or 24 were into pepsi. When were young there were older mates who kept an eye on us. When we were older we kept an eye on younger mates and mates siblings. If younger siblings where making out we just thought good on them, happy and safe. If they got drunk we see them home. If someone getting agro with them calm things down. Some where shy and clueless about the opposote sex, the girls being rock chicks generally could fight and kept the boys in check but were good at pulling and usally had boyfriend or could pull easy. ergo the girls matured faster and if anyone said a 19 year old mate was manipulating a 16 year girl mate his mats would roll over laughing saying he could not manipulate a junkie into accepting free smack. Said girl would also thump whoever said she could be easily manipulated for insulting her intelligence then grab the boy she liked and started snogging him. Late 15 year old mates siblings/parties were comming with us into the nightclubs and for the most part not drinking alcohol. Being heavey metal nightclubs there were perfectly safe as rockers are nice folk who help you up if you fall over and not into fighting. So the younger ones learn good morals about looking after others and not acting hard. And not being junkies either. The loval police said they leave the metal/rock/indie/aleternative/goth/emo/punk clubs alone as never any trouble so the kids are safe and if the clubs closed kids on streets or more dangerous clubs would be less afe so applied common sense rather than sticking to the law. hence thinking the way I do But back to the question exactly what are peole talking about when they make such a big deal about a 18 year old dating a 17 year old. or 16 yar old dating a 15 year old. Why should they break up as one oththem has a birthday a week older then the other. what difference does a week make. Why are they a evil perverted sex offender simply as their girlfriend did not want to wait a week and thought it romantic to make love first time on his birthday.? When the couple have been in love a year.? Seen plenty of guys who are sh&&t at chatting up, clueless with girls, shy etc... jsut as older does not mean they have any more experience and if they do know things to say then why not just pint out so they are no longer geeky nurds who can chat up a girl and get a girlfriend. it dont mean their intentions are nasty it just means they can dating someone they like ergo wont be objectifying. And most folk are equally attracted to persoanlity and guys prefer fiesty girlsOH AND NO ANSWERS TO DO WITH ANY LAWS ONLY LITTERAL STATEMENTS LIKE THEY WILL HAVE DONE A,B,AND C AND YOU EVEIDENCE EVERYONE HAS THAT AGEPlus broad deffinition Ie no girls saying as all guys as bas&&&ds into one thing when said daft girl only dated bad boys with a rep as exciting as opposed to their best mates who had crushes on them who were not bad boys so the girl found them not hot enoughREAD THE WHOLE POST PROPERLY AND YOU GET THE POINTif no such clear distinction why have such vicious laws************ To jessica who would care? all the teen couples living in fear from the evil bully authourities and all the lives ruined as they like hurting teens saying its for their protection. Instead of waiting how about they kill those trying to hurt them as its the cops and authourities who are the abusers more

Open Question: Should I wish my ex-boyfriend Happy Birthday..?

We broke up two months ago, but have both showed that we still love each other. We were together for 18 months. I don't know if it's relevant to this question, but he was the one who ended it, due to not being ready to be with 'the person he could marry'. I sent him a birthday card a few days ago, which he told me he opened early, and now today is his birthday. Should I text him today to say Happy Birthday, or was the card enough? I don't want to pester him, but also don't want him to think I'm not thinking of him on his birthday/look like I'm being mean. I'm hoping that one day it will be a case of 'right place, right time' so we can get back together, and so I really don't want to do the 'wrong thing' now. more

Open Question: How to be happy being single or alone or whatever?

I am a single 18 year old guy and have just graduated from high school last summer and simply just trying to find a job to save up some money for college. After graduating from high school, I find myself, lonelier than I thought I would be. My friends have moved on to Universities or some special college, but even then, they have enough or even go out of their way just to make some time for their other friends. And they all make time for each other, except for me. I guess in my own special ways, I find myself "comfortable" being alone. So I only talk with a few good friends every now and then, and spend most of my time playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 with my, "internet friends", online for like 6 hours a day because I have nothing to do since I have no job. I would even go as far as to say, that I know them better than my real life friends, and we call each other our real life names instead of our user names like, "Detective Socks". And when I go out, I get glances from the occasional girl at the street or mall and make eye contact too. If my friends have told me that I'm funny, intelligent, and cute looking, then why am I still single still? Or why my friends have more time for others but not me? I know dating isn't everything but... I hate this feeling of being alone and that there's nothing great going on for me at all. And everyday I stay up till 4AM on the internet or playing video games and have found myself looking at a lot of porn, not the really obscene ones. I've always hated when people tell me how great of a person I am or some cliche like I should live my life as if I would die tomorrow. If I am so great, why is it that I have so little to show? I know what some of you are thinking, "Why don't you go back to school and get a student loan?". Well, to make things a lot shorter, my older brother would beat the snot out of me and mock me and made me feel inept in everything I did and therefore I became easily flustered to the point that I believed I was conditioned to be socially inept and felt that I was incapable of living ever since, why?, because I didn't get very good marks ever since I was in Grade 1 and then when I told this to my Mom 11 years later who lives in California she flipped bananas and wanted to take me away with her and that started a bloody storm of family fights but in the end my older brother was sorry to me even though I don't feel a shred of mercy for him but did treat me a lot better afterwards and my mother left me because I didn't want to go to school for a year so I can make money for next year at school and at my birthday she sent me a birthday card with many motivational platitudes she could ever think of to win me back so I can be her, "Son", again. So did you think I could concentrate at school? Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I failed at high school because my Grade 6 teacher once told me that average was only good enough for me when I asked her if the provincial test was hard. And now, after looking for 7 months for a bloody job and have gone no where in my life except reading philosophy of mainly Existentialism and watching Diehard in 4 in the morning. In short, my life sucks and have never been close to anybody in my life, even my family and friends. How do I live at least more comfortable being single or alone or whatever? more

Resolved Question: How do I calm down? I get panic attacks every time I see my sister?

My half sister used to bully me as a kid whenever we used to see each other during the summer ( we didn't technically live together) but now whenever I see her, I just want to punch her in the face. I have a lot of un-resolved anger towards her for what she put me through. I do my best to avoid her but my dad wants us to be together for this birthday. It was days ago, but he wanted to celebrate it on a boat tomorrow (sunday) and he wants us all to be there. I don't want to ruin his party and I'm not going to get in a fight but I can't calm down. The last time I saw her I had a panic attack. I wish I was as tough as I sound but the last time I saw her, I ended up locking myself in the restroom and crying and I was 19 last year I saw her. Too old to be feeling and acting this way, too long to be holding a grudge, but until I find it somewhere in my heart to forgive her, I can't help being so angry and resentful . I just need to know how to calm down and fake a happy attitude. That's all I can do right now. Please help? more

Open Question: Would this freak him out?...?

And he got pissed because he thought I was insulting him! I was supposed to type "dude" but instead typed "droid" because I was so sleepy! WTH! The thing was an honest mistake! more

Man Looking for woman Okay if I had to absolutely break it down to my bare bones minimum must haves, here it goes (starting with least important to most important) No Smoking or drugs No Alchohal (Grabbing one drink at a party or something is fine, just not the act of just drinking as a recreation) White or Asian (preferably Asian) My scale for weight becoming an issue is if i can't hug her and get my arms around her then deal breaker. 5'5 or shorter (I have too be taller, I just have to be) Birthday before Sept. 1988 (I have to be older, I just have to be) In college and smart (I want someone who I can actually talk too) NOT bisexual (this is a huge deal for me, a girl could be an 18yo Japanese pop star millionare with an IQ of 180 but I will walk out at this) No Kids (Im not bringing any to the table, why should I get someones seconds) =============================================================== A few other tid-bits, I haven't really asked out too many girls before, only 4, I am a virgin, I want sex, but I want it in the committed happy relationship (after the L word has been exchanged) as much as I would want the girl to be a virgin when I (if i ever) have my first time, I'm not clueless, I know that I'm in my 20's now, I know that I'm in college, and I know how the world is, i know thats a pipe dream so thats out the window, I don't think a girl is a slut if shes had sex with one or two people, but I just don't want to be the nervous pathetic virgin she gives a pity screw too. It feels impossible to find a girlfreind, Please help,When I say no kids, I mean she can't already have kids, Of couse I want kids, but with a wife way way way in the future. more

Open Question: Could my best friend like me in a way that is more than friends?

I'm sixteen year old hormonal girl and I like him a lot but I don't want to like him just because my hormones do... Get it? So I've known this guy for a long time but we've just recently started getting close. He always talks to me, finding ways to be with me (I live in the city, him in the suburbs) and when we do see each other he'll give me a big hug and tell me he misses me then teases me a bit about girl things (hair, makeup, etc.). He has called me from his England vacation (I live in Canada) just to wish me a happy birthday and say goodnight. He gives me friendly kisses on the forehead and cheek but I don't know if it means anything special. When I date, he tends to point out the flaws in the guy but tells me he seems like a good guy. He likes to tease me about the guys I date, though. Does he like me in a more than friends way? I'm falling for him and I can't get him off my mind but I don't want him to be just another guy because I just know he's different and with someone as close to me as he is, I want to be sure it's not just infatuation. How can I put my feelings for him aside so I can focus on the friendship (if that's the right way to go)? I'm so confused. I've even started avoiding him because it has gotten hard for me to just be friends with him. Our conversations get so deep and it gets harder each time to not cross the line and like I said, I don't want to be naive and confuse it with infatuation. Any advice works. more

Open Question: start to the first chapter to my book?

please no mean comments. the charaters name is Bailey. Chapter 1 Okay, I am going to be totally honest, for once in my life. I hate fish. It is as simple as that. I don't know whether it is their smell, slime or what they eat, I just hate them. I’m not at all like my mom, but I guess you could say I’m not all like my dad either, well because I never really met him. I kind of remember my dad, but I didn’t have the sharpest memory when I was four. I mean how I was supposed to know he was leaving the family with all the money? My dad is like fish. I hate absolutely hate him. If he were a bug, I’d be spraying bug spray all over him screaming at the top of my lungs, “DIE, DIE, DIE!” (Not that I’m a violent person or anything.) I just don’t ever think I’ll wrap my head around why he left me, and my mom of all people. We were all happy on my fourth birthday. But then again, dad had been arguing with my mom a lot, and that had been going on for a while. I mean really, who was I not to ask him why he was leaving. That is a four year olds job right? But I would never blame myself for him leaving me and mom. I guess something’s are never meant to be. I’m thirteen now, and I haven’t talked to a dad about anything guy. I can talk to mom about all the girl things in my life, but I needed a dad for advice on sports and cars and things dads would know that moms usually wouldn’t. I don’t have a dad and I don’t have a best friend. And worst of all I am stuck next to the bath rooms passing maps of Sea world for two hours every day acting like I enjoy my life. Why does my life have to be so complicated? more

Open Question: i got a boy problem.. please read?? :)?

Okay, I live with my mom and only get to go to my dads(In san antonio)(he lives in apartments) in big school breaks. In san antonio one summer, like in 2007 there were these two dudes that moved in with their dad. They were both hot, but I really only liked one of them. During that summer I found out that, that hot dude liked me but I still kept my secret a secret. Then I found out they moved. One summers later on my birthday, the 2 boys and their dad came and visited for my birthday. The dude that I thought was hot wasn't so hot anymore. Then when I wasn't their, one of my friends thats a guy invited him to stay the night at his house. one of my friends thats a girl came over and made out with the hot dude. now, I came back to my dads house for spring break 2010. and the friend thats a girl told me that the dude that was hot became REALLY hot since i have seen him. so then we asked him to message us some photos of him. and she was right. he IS HOTTT!!! but I told her that he was realllllllyyyy hott and that its fine if she takes him because she made out with him. but she said that I could have him because I knew him first. at that point we both got a little aggrivated. So we invited him over to the apartments for a day in spring break. He came. He was hot. She asked me if I wanted to go out with him and i said i don't know since she basically had him first. But "appearently" I said yes and we started going out. She got reeeeallly PISSED. she denied that she was pissed but I could tell. so I thought "sista's before mista's" and dumped him after like 30 minutes. During the time that we went out we hugged like 2 times. (this is still the same day that he came over) me and my friend thats a girl became happy and in a joyful mood. we talked and stuff and did whatever. Later that afternoon like at 7 or 8 he and my friend thats a girl were texting. (they were sitting right next to eachother) she told me that they were talking about how they both wanted to make out and so me and her went out side and texted him and said to go outside if you wanna make out with her. I told them to go ahead but she said since she "knows" that I like him, for ME to kiss him. I have never kissed a dude before. I said that the reason for us standing outside was because they were gonna make out but she said no and told me and him to kiss. he walked up to me, about to kiss me but I turned away and said i was scared. he told me that he wanted to be my first kiss. so then he walked up to me, sorta leaned forward, and we kissed. just a kiss. not make out. my kiss was 2 days ago :) I feel bad cause I think she may be a little bit mad at me. I have a few questions: -do u think she is mad at me? -why is it that when I think of me having my first kiss with him, I cant feel or see it?? (yes, I had my eyes open when we kissed) -if I find out that she isn't mad, should I kiss him again? if i see him again? random question: I am getting braces next week, is it hard to kiss with braces on?? (he doesn't have braces) more

Open Question: Didn't get invited to a good friend's party?

So my friend had a birthday party and could only invite 5 people, though only 3 could come. She invited my current best friend, my old best friend since second grade, a girl who is mean to me, and other girls I have known for years, but the birthday girl only moved here over a year ago. I knew her before she knew any of these people. I felt bad and was feeling better until I went on facebook and saw the party pictures uploaded right there when I logged on. They looked like they were sooooo happy and having a great time. I feel horrible and left out about not being invited! What do I do? I want to feel better.and Coco, I can't invite myself, that is rude. plus, the party already happened, that is why there are pics of it on facebook, like I said. more

Open Question: Im worried about my 5 year old brother?

My dad is so mean to my 5 year old little brother Liam. He bawls in his face for no reason atol, he can stand in front of him and just shout at him right in his face and when i look at liam's face, i see he is terrified and ready to cry. When my dad did this a while back, Liam actuatly got so scared he pee'd himself in front of my dad, and then got hit by my dad becuase he pee'd himself. Whenever Liam is upset and my mum is comforting him, my dad will tell her to stop comforting him like a baby and then grabs his arm and dangles him infront of him and tells him in a demanding voice to 'grow up'. When my mum was in a buisness trip with work for a week, my dad didnt wash his clothes and only let him clean himself one night out of a full seven days. His school teacher pulled me out of my class one day and asked me if everything is OK at home, becuase my mum usally washes Liam's clothes everyday and uses a nice washing up liquid for it, and everytime she see's Liam she sniffs his jumper becuase it smells nice .. but becuase it had been dirty and didnt smell too nice, she asked me if everything was ok but i didnt tell her becuase i didnt want anyone involved. But, ive came to notice that liam is never really happy anymore. I also think he gets paranoid around him too .. if we're in the car with him, he always sits close to me and cuddles into me, becuase he thinks something is going to happen. Hes only nice to him on like what ... 2 occations, when its his birthday and when its christmas. Liam has only ever stood upto my dad once ... which only ended up in liam getting hurt even more, and probably worse. But .. im 14 and, im not sure on what to do. So, what should i do? more

Open Question: Has he lost interest in me already?

I went out with this guy last week and we totally hit it off, then he texted me after saying he had a good time. Throughout the week we took turns texting eachother a couple times. I fb chatted him once, and we flirted every time. He even texted me on my birthday to say happy bday. Then yesterday I texted him asking what he was up to that night, he just responded saying he may be going to a party. So i just said okay have fun and that was pretty much the end of the conversation since he didnt text back. I think mabe i've been making myself too available. But now that I realized it, im scared he lost interest already... do you think that's possible? i've really fallen for him and i hope i didnt ruin my chances :/ more

Open Question: my parents bought me an itouch but...?

ok so ive been kinda complaining lately about how badly i wanted an itouch since the ipod i had broke. i wanted to buy myself the 32 gb one but theres no way i could come up with 300 dollars by myself. i had already told my parents which ipod i wanted and why i need the 32 instead of the 8 (8 isnt enough and the newest generation doesnt have a 16 gb, its either 8 or 32). but my dad said no. for a few weeks i would lightly remind him how much i wanted one, like every time he gets a package i would say, "an itouch?? oh, you shouldnt have!!". and then yesterday after months of begging my parents finally got me one. i got all excited an synched my ipod, just to realize that i have less than one gb of memory left, without any apps. i looked at the box and it said 8gb. im almost out of space and i just got it, which is exactly why i really wanted a 32 gb. i really appreciate my parents getting me one especially since it wasnt for my birthday or for christmas, but i kinda need the 32 gb. i dont wanna say anything to them cuz i dont wanna sound like a spoiled brat. and i feel absolutely awful and guilty for even thinking about the 32 gb instead of being happy with what i have. what am i supposed to tell my parents?? should i even say anything at all?? if ur a parent, would u want ur kid to suck it up or be honest, and how would u want them to approach you??i buy about 20-30 songs a month and i was kinda hoping to put some apps. more

Open Question: What should i do when i am in love with my cousin?

Yes, i am. I am not proud of it nor gross about it. it's a feeling i've never felt with somebody else. ahmm. where do i start? ok, so he had his eyes on me since i came here in our country and stay here for good. i didn't knew about it til he told me via text. he was asking me for a chance and since i was young at that time and blissfully happy, i just directly said yes. then the next day i broke up with him because i feel disgusted when he's around. and he was mad after that break-up. we hadn't communicated for 3 months. then he came to me and asked for a last chance. this time i was the one who was played at. see how karma has been fast? and when we were together, i became comfortable around him. and after 2 months then i just knew he was a two-timer. i had nothing to do but to stay away from him. he knew it that i know about him and his gf. the worst part was, he didn't even talked to me about it. one day i had to raise up the question "who do you love more? me or her?" he didn't even answered so i really stayed away from him. after a month we had our on/off relationships for a YEAR. i know, it's a bit harsh for me or a bit gross if you think so. i don't care though. and now, we're together and i was hoping for us to stay much longer even we're against all odds. but then again, i just knew on my birthday that he was still with the girl from before. i was so hurt at that time because i had no one to confide in. i didn't even know what to do. then the next day i told to my self to stay beside him as long as he wants me to. i can't let go of him because everytime we're together he always kisses me, maybe it's the reason why i am really attached to him. sometimes i tell my friends to find me a guy they would always say that guy i'm looking for would be around. maybe it's my boyfriend. too bad we met at the wrong world. so, advices please? yeah, i know you disgust me for telling you about this stupid love story of mine. but i really do need help from all of you. it would mean a lot. thanks. =) more

Open Question: How rich are the people who wrote the happy birthday song?

me and my dad had an argument and i neeeeeed to know that they are like millionaires times 30 to the 82nd power, he says that they do not get money at all unless it is sung at like a restaurant or somthingAccording to Ibiblio.org: Happy Birthday to You was copyrighted in 1935 and renewed in 1963. The song was apparently written in 1893, but first copyrighted in 1935 after a lawsuit (reported in the New York Times of August 15, 1934, p.19 col. 6) In 1988, Birch Tree Group, Ltd. sold the rights of the song to Warner Communications (along with all other assets) for an estimated $25 million (considerably more than a song). (reported in Time, Jan 2, 1989 v133 n1 p88(1) In the 80s, the song Happy Birthday to You was believed to generate about $1 million in royalties annually. With Auld Lang Syne and For He's a Jolly Good Fellow, it is among the three most popular songs in the English language. (reported in Time, Jan 2, 1989 v133 n1 p88(1) Happy Birthday to You continues to bring in approximately 2 million dollars in licensing revenue each year, at least as of 1996 accounting, according to Warner Chappell and a Forbes magazine article.

Open Question: What do you think of my friend's story?

This is my friends story. It is really long so you don't have to read all of it. I'll post more if you like it. Tear Droplet Academy: The Fight Commences Chapter 1: A Surprising Gift No. No. No. I couldn’t BELIEVE that terrible, exotic crisis that had to happen to ME, Isabelle Montielle! I got an 89% on my Accelerated Math Test! I can’t believe it! I felt so confident when I took the test, but I forgot to show some of my work and BAM I got a B+! Come on! On the day of my 12th Birthday I completely bombed a math test. There was no doubt that I’d be in trouble when I got home. The bike I was riding was a slick, shiny, salmon bike I had gotten the previous Christmas. It had a navigation system put in it. My dad even got the famous cyclist David Byrne to sign mine! He was close with countless famous people and I got all of their signatures! He worked as a Real Estate person. He worked in the areas where all the movie stars bought condos and mansions like my own. My best friends Jenny and Kira had the same bikes in purple and aquamarine. I was so happy to turn around the familiar bend and see my lovely mansion. The outside was painted in a light tan color. My parents were OBSESSED with shrubbery, so our house was surrounded by it. The white door had many fine carvings in it to make patterns of diamonds and squares. Parked outside were the Porsche and Ferrari. I finally arrived at my 5-story house to find my personal chef, Marius cooking something smelling so amazingly and inadequately delicious. It could only be his homemade spaghetti and tomato sauce. I walked in with a true look of melancholy that I could not rate. “SURPRISE!” I heard shouted with great force and volume. I jerked upward with great fright. I hopped around like an electrocuted jumping bean to see who scared me. It was my grandparents, mom, dad, and a bunch of more friends from school like Natalie, Ebony, Maya, Layne, and Kristy. I stretched my face into the largest grin I could manage. My friends and family had thrown me a surprise birthday party. I was so grateful and content with their kind and friendly behavior. I got many wonderful presents. A few of them were DVDs, classic books, an iPod touch, and an Algebra Textbook from my grandparents. A bit unusual you say? I can’t agree, after all, it was an Algebra test I got an 89% on... But my favorite of all was the very last one. It was the least expected. My mother and father handed it to me after everyone had left. It was 11:21 PM exactly. I remember. Before they gave it to me, I just wanted to thrust myself onto my lavender/indigo bed and curl up against my puppy, Kane. Just as I was about to follow through with my seemingly well-figured plan, my mother giggled, “Um, we have some uh, news for you Izzy.” “Uh okay guys but PLEASE, can I go straight to bed right after?” I half-awake wondered. “Sure Izz, but I don’t know if you’re going to want to go ‘straight to bed’ after this news.” My father cleverly put. “Isabelle, you got this letter in the mail today. Your father and I opened it prior, of course. We hope you won’t mind.” My mom handed me an elaborately decorated envelope with a rugged end on the top. The envelope was covered in shapes that looked similar to that of teardrops. I could see a grand castle on the back of the envelope. I figured that this must’ve been a prank. Anyway, I opened up the envelope and found a quite lengthy letter. Word for word, this is what it read: Dear Isabelle Maria Montielle, We are proud, at Tear Droplet Academy, to invite you to join our university for training to become a refined (castette, caster). We encourage you to practice using spells from now until you arrive at our gates. There is no admission fee. However, you may choose not to come and join us if you wish. That would be quite a foolish mistake. If you have no idea whatsoever of what a castette is, it is a magical female that’s ancestors were born in the golden city of Castantine. Don’t know who Castantine is? Don’t know how to make a hyper potion? If you are curious, then come to Tear Droplet Academy to find out and make new friends. We hope you’ll enjoy everything it has to offer. You will share a dorm with one other in training. There will be twelve periods. The classes are: Manners, Casting, Defense, Art, Music, Arithmetic, Science, History, Vocabulary, Potions, and Improvising. Lunch will not be a class, merely a period. On July 31, you will receive your schedule. The materials you will need are on the back of the letter. Your parent/guardian should know where to take you shopping. The first day of training is August 1. The last day of training this semester is January 1. Thank you, Headmistress, Glopenheir “Wow.” I mumbled with astonishment, “Why didn’t you guys tell me about these, these Castee thingies?” I curiously countered. “T more

he said the silver was 4/5 a karat and it has diamonds.. no guy has ever bought me jewelry the price tag was at the bottom of the box and i looked and it said $250.. apparently it was originally $450 he has been paying for my dinner, paying for my movie tickets, smoking with me for free.. i just don't know. i really like him, but i've never had a guy pay for me all the time and sometimes i feel bad for accepting. his birthday is coming up, but he told me he doesn't want me to get him anything and that he just wants to be with me, but i feel like i really should.. we are both 20, he is about to be 21 he sells drugs though... i know this question is kind of going on a tangent, but how would you feel about that? it's just weed.. what if things don't work out? should i give him back the necklace? how would you feel if you were in my shoes ladies? he is a very sweet. i haven't met a "nice" guy in a long time. what should i do? we aren't official yet also, his mother is recently engaged. he and his mom are very close and he isn't too happy about her getting married to this guy, but he lives with them. do you think he is doing all of this because his mom is about to get married?i really like himhe has a real job toowell $250 after a month isn't cheap to me more

Open Question: My 3yr old girl has a speech delay. Any advice / stories you like to share with me please?

We have been taking her to speech therapy for more than a year now. She didn't say single syllables (eg. ma ma, ba ba) until she was a little less than 2. The past year she has improved but still slow when compared to kids her age. She now has more than over 200 words in her vocabulary, cannot put sentences together, but can use one or two words to ask for what she wants. Surprisingly to us, she can sing several songs in full (eg. happy birthday, twinkle twinkle little star). We had her screened by a child paedetrician (as referred to by our speech therapist) for other developmental problems but she got the all clear, with the obvious problem of speech delay. She still babbles in her own language when speech becomes frustrating for her. She is otherwise healthy, sociable and has very good motor skills. Any parents out there have similar problems? I am obviously worried about her speech, but despite her slow improvement I can see at least things are progressing. I also worry about how she is going to cope as she attends pre-school next year. more

Open Question: My gf broke up with me and I don't know why. Advice please.?

OK, so I'll give you my side of the story. Sorry it's too long. I tried to make it as short as possible. We started going out, everything was good, we were together for about a month and one week. Things were amazing, we used to be happy all the time, no arguments, no drama. Everything was good. One weekend she went back to her hometown for her dad's birthday and while there she called me desperate because her grandma was sick and about to die. We talked on the phone, she felt better. Again, everything ok. When she came back, everything was different. She wasn't as cheerful and happy as she normally was. We spent a night together and then I didn't see her for some time, she was busy with school and work, so we just chatted online or when I drove her back home from work. Then one friday we were going to go to the movies, it was too early so she said, why don't you come to my place, we watch TV and then we go to the movies. I thought that was fine so we were watching TV, but something was wrong, when I said I loved her, she didn't say "I love you too" like she usually did. I asked her what was wrong, she just cried and said "Oh it's my grandma, I hate seeing her like that" (she was out of the hospital, but going to a nursing home.) I said that it was good that she was out of danger now and being taken care of. So around 1700 something came up and I had to leave for about 30 mins, before I left she told me we needed to talk. She broke up with me saying that she couldn't be with anyone right now because of her grandma. I said I understood and with my heart broken I left. I saw her on msn 2 days after that, I told her I wanted to be back together when she felt better, she said "I don't know, maybe", so I had my hopes up. I send her offline messages on msn, just saying "hi, hope you're doing ok" and things like that. But she didn't answer any of them. Two weeks past and still nothing from her, so I decided to call her, she said that she needed to clear things and start with a "clean plate" (w/e that means). So on an impulse, I went to her building and asked her to come downstairs, that I needed a minute to speak with her, she just said "Why you want to talk to me?" With my heart destroyed (again) I said "fine, I'm leaving" I didn't do anything wrong to make her broke up with me, I just wanted to know the reason. I de-friended her from FB, erased her from MSN and her number from my phone, in order to stick to a NC policy. Anyone has any good advice? Do you think she still loves me? What do you think was the real reason to break up with me? Why didn't she want to even say hi to me online? Thanks more

Open Question: What happened with my girlfriend and what do I do?

She used to be fairly happy with life, a little immature but it was cute, and just an easygoing person. We've dated for 7 months and she has changed drastically. She takes everything too seriously, she's forgotten how to forgive and forget, she holds huge grudges, she's become very very selfish and a lot more immature, she pushes her friends and myself away then complains that no one cares about or likes her and states that I don't count but still complains to me about it. A quick example of her pushing someone away and being selfish ~ Her good friend was supposed to hang out with her the other day but cancelled at the last minute because she came down with bronchitis. She yelled at her, called her a terrible friend, and asked her to go away. This seriously bothered me. Also, we share the same birthday and it was yesterday, she told me on that day that she didn't love me. The reasons? I'm "unreliable" (I do everything for her), I never listen to her (she's all we talk about), I say I love her too much, and I start conversations with the same general sentences. Terrible reasons. A few of our friends and I would like to have an intervention of sorts to make her realize what she's doing to herself and us. Please give me your opinions. more

Open Question: in love and lost, idk what i should do?

help. how do i fall out of love and move on when we have a complicated history? ok so ive known this guy since we were like 7 we're the same age and grew up together, our moms are best friends and everything. every birthday party, holiday, vacation, we spent together. as we grew up we had feelings for each other that just continued to go back and forth but we never dated. we constantly flirt and when we are together there is an obivous attraction in both directions. but the thing is he seems to always have a girlfriend. and he pays no mind to me when im not at his house or like out with him somewhere. like sometimes we'll text or email IM or something of that nature but it seems like im making all the efforts towards talking. i have grown really close to this guy and we have a lot of fond memories together, but it just seems like he's only interested in me when i am around and when i'm not it's like i don't exist....i don't know what to think anymore. i keep thinking that i need to move on and somehow just drop all my feelings but whenever that crosses my mind we end up hanging out or there's a family event and the flirting starts all over again. he's always making remarks about us in a relationship telling people im his girlfriend and we have always been the butt of the family teasings. his whole family has always wanted us to get together and ALWAYS makes comments on it...to this day. they say that we are going to get married and have kids etc lol its pretty funny because his grandpa threatens to shoot him if he ever hurts me. i love his family and i love him and i know that i do but i just don't know what to do ????? can anybody help me? and right now he is currently in a relationship with someone who he was friends with before dating and he says he loves her and seems to really be happy and that makes me happy because i know he truly is and i don't want to mess that up. the last thing i want to do is be a "homewrecker" but i can't stop the feelings that he should be with me. i guess you can say i'm just REALLY confused. more

Open Question: 21st Birthday is it a big deal ?

Ok im turning 21, and for my past Birth Days i or my family never made a big deal, it was the usual happy b day and a gift such as cash or somethin , nice dinner , something simple. So for this time my family decided to throw me a BBQ mini party and the'yre giving me alot of cash SO I CAN FINALLY LEGALLY GO OUT. So this is my qustion i've been going out partying at house parties and evan club since the age of 18. but everytime i went out with the people whom were 21 n older we would have to reserve or pay a bouncer extra so i could get in. example last year i had to pay 45 to get into a club. Now i know u have to control urself n all that. i know if u drink more than u can handle you'll end up throwing up making a fool n most important drunk driving can get u arrested n even killed. ive always been a guy whom likes to have a good time but be safe n responsible . I live in NYC, n just the thought of me being able to go to any bar or nightclub is getting me happy nervous. For example, alot of times in college friends would be hey lets get a beer n watch the game at this lounge, id be like " ehhhh im only 20 but i wish" n the other day i met a 27 year old , wanted to go to a club to dance n i kinda ignored the request because the club was really heavy duty n strict wit id , dont bother with fake id. now am i just over BLOWING THIS UP... or for those whom are 21 n older is this a complete life changer.... i know life is not all about partying, but c'mon im really excited. i feel those whom are 21 take it for granted that they can go whenever they want. most of my friends like to go out with me so some who just turned 21 havent gone out that match. it seems like they've waited for me.... they're exicted but they tell me yea its nice to be 21 but its no big deal. believe me i've gone out alot had fun , but to me this is a major deal. i guess its because ive always had to struggle to find a way to get into clubs....( like a train ride to a club i would always think " damn what if they dont want money ) i feel like i can now finally just focus on having a safe good night n go where EVER I WANT more

Open Question: Should i apologize to her and wish her a happy birthday?

OK well this girl named rainy that i used to sit by in us history was really nice to me and was friendly. a couple weeks later we got a new seating chart and we didnt sit by each other anymore. so i was pasing pens and i asked her friend if she neeed one and she was like "no" in a weird way and i was like ok and her friend started laughing idk if it was me or not. and then one day her friend kept staring at me and i thought she was talking about me so i went up to her and i asked her what her problem was and she said she didnt have a problem. rainy was calling my name and i wasn't in the mood to talk so i didnt reply back since i thought she would say something mean. so she left me a mean commment on fb asking me why im mean to everyone? and i feel like i was the mean one but i didin't reply black i just deleted the comment. later on i aksed her friend if she had anythign to say she can come say it to my face and she said i dont have anything else to say besides your very rude.

Resolved Question: Confused please answer.?

Ok my boyfriend just broke up with me yesterday thurs, we are both over 25, he said he wanted to be my bf but he says i told him that he wasnt my type and hes cool with friends, which thats a bold face lie cause, i liked him and he knew that, so i told him thank you for the wonderful times, for the memories and for making me happy, he said he has enjoyed the memories and we should create more, i said excuse me, he said we should create more memories, i said i cant do that, i just cant be friends with you when there is feelings involved, he also wanted to meet this weekend and give me my present he had for my birthday which he was out of town and couldnt give me at the time, i refused and told him to take it back and get his money back, he said no its yours you shoud have it again i didnt want it, he said he will give it to goodwill, he said well i guess this is where we part ways then goodbye and i said bye and that was the end, Did he just wanted to keep me around incase his new realtionship didnt work out? Or was that his way of making him feel good about breaking up with me? Today friday at around 4pm he texts me and start talking to me again, im thinking to myself why break up with me and then text me the next day asking to meet for dinner does he not want to end things with me or why is he doing this? more

Open Question: Things people dont tell you about university, help me please?

At the moment im a second student at uni and I dont really have many friends. There are like three people on my course that i am friends with so i see them every day but we only really talk about hte course and superficial stuff about their lives and friends. On some level i only think we talk because of the course, i dont think we'll keep in touch for long after uni, unless on of us needs something lol. I do have one best friend that i live with and another friend who lives near by, but the sad thing i realised is all we talk about is how unfair it is that we havent found people we could be friends with at this uni! I hate to say this again but im not really that close to them either and i feel the only reason we talk is because we all lived together last year and they also have no proper friends. lLast year we lived in halls and the other 12 people in our flat were all international students, and i couldnt make an lasting friendships thru people in societies. So since this time last year ive lead a pretty isolated existence. And it has made me quite bitter as i keep thinking if my 2 friends drank then it would be easier for us to meet people. At the start of second year i joined all these societies and gym classes in order to meet new people. Disappointingly i didnt really click with the people, and it just compounded my loneliness. reading over this i know i have so many oppourtunities to turn things around before my final 2 years. But if im honest i know im not trying and im completely disengaging with uni life. Even my course, i hardly attend lectures nowadays. I know im throwiing a pity party here but even when i was younger i was never happy. I had a very strict parents, ive only been to 6 birthday parties in my whole life! I did have friends tho, which was quite lucky cos i am a quiet person and it takes me a while to warm up. Theres just so many horrible things that i went thru as a child that its so easy for me to dredge them up with and make excuses for the situation im in. I really dont want to be that person, i was her in sixth form where i would drink practically every morning by myself, how lame. yeah so back to the current problem, i have no idea what to do, I dont even know if i have the motivation to fix it, i just wanna leave! even tho that makes no sense If i stay for the next 2 years and then do my training year i am guaranteed a job, but it seems so far away i couldnt live like this for another 2 years id top myself! one plan i was thinking about was taking a year off and just working, but it didnt go down too well when i told my tutor, she said it was an escape plan, which it kind of is. Or i could grow a spine and see a doctor about my insomnia/depression/anxiety. But im scared to cos they always treat me like an ungrateful spoilt teenageer AHH will i ever be normal? Please help me your a good person if you actually read these disjointed ramblings x more
