My grandmother passed away about 4 months ago now. She left behind a small will, but many possessions that were not listed in the will. Currently, most of these things (decor, books, jewelry) are sitting in our house. With several items, people have just expressed interest in them and my mom or dad will just generously give them away, as we don't really need them, and it seems like what my grandma would have wanted.
There is one box, however, that has remained untouched. This is all of my grandmother's jewelry. We aren't sure of a lot of the value, and so we haven't really decided what to do with it. Recently though, I was made aware that my grandma's wedding and anniversary rings are also in this box, and she hadn't left them to anyone in her will.
Here is my question- I am getting married next year, and currently my boyfriend and I are looking at rings. Honestly, I would really love to have my grandma's ring, but it seems a little rude to ask for it, because I don't want to seem like I am trying to profit off her passing or anything...
Is there anyway I could bring this up without coming across like I am using my grandma's death for my own benefit?

I would at least bring up the subject by asking if there are any plans for the box of jewelry, and then you can determine how to proceed from there. It is a nice idea to pass down jewelry, but this can cause some family rifts if other family members want it as well. You should also be able to find out the value of jewelry by taking it to a local appraiser, if that is something you are interested in.

I'm 21/f. My schedule has changed drastically!!!! I use to start my classes in college no later than noon. I would work out in the morning, go to class. Study a little and then just did whatever. Now, I'm actually teaching this orientation course and I get up at 6am. I'm in school by 8. I leave at like 5. It's almost like a full time job. On the days I don't have that class, I go to the gym in the morning an I feel pretty good. Maybe I'm just not use I waking up so early. I was waking up before around 8:30 or 9:00 and now I wake up at 5:30 sometimes. I thought I wanted to be a teacher but I don't think being such an early bird is for me. So, I'm thinking of goig I to social work or occupational therapy. I know there's going to be times I have to wake up early, but I think this may just be TOO early to do as an every day thing. Maybe it's also been the stress of school. I took 6 courses over summer, but at least I'm graduating fairly soon. However, I imagine that when ur working, you don't have all the extra school work you do when u get home. The being tired thing kind of scared me be aide it started to affect my driving. Yesterday, I was driving crazy and almost fell asleep on the wheel. I went to bed at 7:30. And when I say I feel tired, it's not just sleepiness. It's like this dizzy feeling with nausea. I feel like I'm losing control of my muscles and I'm just gonna collapse. Had anyone ever experienced this before? (link)
|
I've experienced this before, but that was when I was so busy working, I didn't sleep at all! I remember being on the bus and thinking "don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep" and the next thing I knew, I was a couple stops away from my house and 30minutes had passed!
Anyway, What you should do, is see a doctor. Feeling sleepy is of course normal if you are working hard, but when it put's you (or others) in danger, then it becomes a problem. There may be something else there e.g. diabetes can cause extreme tiredness, and so it's best to get it checked out.
Good luck :)

A long time ago I was told there was a family curse. It was a big joke. But now I believe it. My daughter comes to me everyday something horrible that happened to someone she know. One girl had a seizure drove into a retention pond and drown. Another friend was run over a train. Another friend was run over by a train. That's just with in a year. I have like a million stories like this. We come from a very old Irish family. The crest is a elephant with noses up. I don't know what to do. But like everything was again me and my family. Now it is friends and family dieing or having freak accidents. My other part of life are going pretty good. Does the curse work off of negative energy. We are happy having things planned like parties. It is only my sister me and my niece. That is our family parties. Xmas too just us 4. My mom died and my grandma died. My uncle took the inheritance and went to Arizona. I'm a trouble maker. If something isn't right I will voice my concern. My new years resolution was not to let anyone walk all over me. That goes for family curses as well... (link)
|
Well really, this is 2 questions:
1. Do curses exist?
2. How can I get rid of a curse if they do exist.
I cannot help with the second questions. I think curses exist as much as fairies and little men with pots of gold, and the Easter bunny i.e. I do not believe in curses.
The thing is, if there really was a curse, would it not just focus on you rather than your friends? And if no one had told you about a curse, would you not have said "this is a bad year, with so much misfortune. I hope the friends and families of those that have gone are able to manage" rather than focusing on this curse? What I'm trying to say, is that this is all just a coincidence.
Now, if you still want to believe in curses, and you think there is some unnatural force following you, then I suppose you could get it checked out by a spiritual healer or whatever. But I wouldn't want to tell you that you definitely should, as many of these people *know* they have no "special powers" and they just profit from peoples beliefs.
So in short: Count your blessings. Be thankful for what you have. Help those that need it. Be happy.
Good luck :)

One day I was in the living room watching TV then all of a sudden out of the blue, I feel this weird pressure going in my ear. What is it, and what should I do.)
(I'm scarred!!) (link)

You obviously need to go to the doctor.
I had a similar problem, and he prescribed me this sort of ear spray.
Of course, you may have the same thing, or something even more serious.

I always heard people say "I love fish and chips" but what does that mean? They are not talking about the actual food. (link)

I've never heard it in that context. I only know the phrase in regards to food. Here's an urban dictionary link:

I have a Kindle (normal Kindle). I got it for Christmas, I know how to use it perfectly fine. But I'm having an issue with something new I've never done before.
One of the books I purchased, the author said to email the review I had for the book to her and I would get a free kindle copy of her new book she had coming out. I did that and now a few months later, I have an email from her with the new kindle book she promised. She told me to just download the file to my Kindle but I'm not sure how. I don't know what folder to put the download in and I don't want to mess anything up.
The two folders I see are titled ".active-content-data" and "documents". The "documents" folder has the titles of the books I have downloaded in there but repeated multiple times with different file extensions. I thought that might be the correct folder but I want to ask just to make sure. I don't want to mess up my kindle and make it have any errors or things like that. I tried googling for an answer but I couldn't seem to type the right question phrase into Google that gave me any helpful information.
Thanks in advance. (link)

I'm not 100% sure, but this is what I would do. I have Windows 7, and so it may be different for you.
Open the attachment (ebook) in the e-mail, and download it on to your computer. The, copy and paste it into my computer > Documents > My kindle content.
Then, it may hopefully pop up. But like I say, I'm not 100% sure. Here is a link for transferring files via USB, on the Kindle Site:

I broke my parents knife set! The knives are all fine but the block is badly damaged! Where can I buy a wooden knife block online? I mean, they have had this knife set longer than they have had ME so I better have a plan by the time they get home from their trip and I have to tell them what happened. Help! (link)
|
You should just tell them the truth. Often, the knife block is worthless, and it's the knives that are expensive.
You can go on amazon, which is your best best. You will not find anything though. This is because, like I said, people do not just buy knife blocks. They buy the knives, and they get the block. Buying a knife block on it's own would be difficult, because they are all different. They are made to the specification of the knives included, i.e. the number of slots needed, the size and depth of the slots are all dependent on the knives you have.
So best option: apologise, and tell them the truth.

I can't use wifi because I have a computer in my house that has internet, but won't download things and there's something wrong with it, so I can't hook up wifi. I already tried. Can I plug something else into my laptop to get internet on it while I'm at home? (link)
|
Well, if the computer isn't working, can you not connect your modem to your laptop? Using the same wire that is connected to the PC that is.
If you have a modem, there should be an Ethernet port on it. You use this to connect it to the computer so you have an internet connection. If there is already a cable from the modem to the PC, you can take it out of the PC and put it in your laptop.
If there is no cable, you can buy one for very cheap, or you may have one lying around. Just connect the modem to your laptop. Both have the same shape hole, to plug it in to, so the cable is the same on both sides.
Hope I helped :)

Can a person in their 20s strengthen their intellectual aptitude? Is it true that people usually reach their peak at a certain age? I have not yet gone to college. Am I too old to make a great improvement in an area I am not too great in? I did not take advantage of my education when I was in grade school. I really wish I had.
Sometimes I feel incompetent because of my lack of education. Even on this website, I find a columnist that has terrific writing capabilities, outstanding knowledge, and a vast vocabulary. It makes me feel a little smaller and a hint of jealousy. I mean columnists around my age of course; I would not compare to the elderly or the teens.
Sometimes I feel more stupid than I want to be. I can look back at things I write and it looks like I'm on a lower-level compared to others in my age group. Many things I attribute to my deprived life experience.
I once dated someone that made me feel inferior. He could write a whole page and in the neatest hand-writing while I was on sentence two with my average print. It was like that when it came to typing speed. In some classes we shared, it seemed that he was more informed than I was about the world.
In grade school, I excelled in math and literature. I actually looked forward to math knowing that I was one of the top-ranked in the class. It was the one class people came to me for help and the one class that others would tell me that I was intelligent besides teachers. My 115 on a test compared to their 87 gave them that idea.
Also in grade school, there were times where I excelled in all my classes when I put in my best effort. There were times where I flirted with boys and took my answers off their papers. There were times I spent an entire class doing homework for another class. There were times that I thought skipping school was better than going to school.
You can see that I deprived myself of a good education but a lot of kids and teenagers do. Many times in school, whenever I felt like I was learning something that I was picking up really well or something that I felt was an important piece in my education, the study in that field was cut short. That missing piece in my education could be very critical for me to know.
I wish I can go all the way back to the foundation of my education and build up. However, I know in college I am going to be starting at where I left off with all the gaps left to be a hindrance.
I do not want to feel so limited. I want to formulate intelligent sentences. I do my best with my writing but as I am putting my thoughts into words, I come short as I try to pull vocabulary or ideas out of my head. I feel that it's there but unattainable. I know my knowledge runs short. I know that as for how my memory works, I sometimes can not recall for all my wits anything without seeing something that brings the memory to me.
Many things I choose not to remember for I find that they will be of no use to me in the future or I could easily relearn them if necessary. I know this limits me as well.
I do have a favorable short-time memory which benefits me when cramming for a test. I can memorize a list of a hundred things or more in order and spelled correctly within a hour. I can usually hold that knowledge for one or two weeks before it dissolves into the forgotten abyss in my mind.
Anyway, I'm through talking about myself. I don't particularly want to read a book to answer my question. Nor do I want to be refereed to a webpage. I want to know what you think. I want your opinions or views on the matter. Anyone else feel the same way or similar? What's your thoughts and advices?
Any answers would be appreciated. (link)

This is an interesting question for me, because I have done quite a bit of research on this a while ago. Not formal research however.
You can always learn, however old you are. Of course, when you are a child, it is the best time to learn. This is because your brain is still growing, and things are learnt easily. This is not to say that it is impossible to learn as an adult: humans crave knowledge. Not everyone seeks knowledge in classic academic subjects. One person may dedicate their life to learning about wine, another about how to fix cars, and another on history. So everyone is different.
Einstein once said something along the lines of "Everyone is a genius. But if you just a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will forever believe that it is stupid", i.e. everyone has their own strengths that they excel at.
Talking of Einstein, he was a late bloomer. Even Stephen Hawking did not really become a 'genius' until his 20s. This was when he dedicated almost all of his time into research.
If you want to learn, specifically English, then I suggest you read. Start with what you enjoy, then slowly move on to the classics: Dickens, Homer, etc.
When I was around 16/17, I used to read a lot, for pleasure. This translated into a well developed writing style. My History teacher always used to comment on how my writing style was so "mature". In fact, she used to use my essays as exampled to the whole school on how to write good essays.
The next year, the school workload steeply increased. I found less and less time to read for pleasure, and lo and behold, my grades start slipping too. My essay style was messy. My teacher was worried, because I had taken such a fall in my ability. So you can see the link between it.
I am slightly in the same position as you. I find myself forgetting basic mathematics that I got A's in when I was 15/16. So what did I do? I bought the latest text books, aimed at that age group. When I find myself with time, I work through them, and answer questions in the work book. I do this for pleasure, not because I am going to have a big test next week.
That is what I've found: the education system is geared towards tests, and exams (understandably). But when you take the time to really learn- because you *WANT* to, opposed to because you *HAVE* to - you enjoy it much more, and it sinks in.
There is also a lot of self discipline involved. When the TV is so packed with good shows, or your friends are having an amazing time, you have to make tough decisions about what you want more: education, or something else. It does not have to be a choice between education vs fun: you can easily make education fun, with games, pictures, colours, etc.
So In short, my advice is to READ, READ, READ. Simple books at first, then more complex ones. When you can read The Count of Monte Cristo, you know you're on track. If you want a good book to read, try The Catcher in the Rye. It's an American classic. It's not long, and it's generally a very good book. School children are also often made to read this.
Also try to write if you can. Advicenators is a great way to write. Start a blog, keep a diary, write short stories. Your style of writing will eventually get better.
If you need anymore help, please feel free to inbox me, because I've really enjoyed answering this question.
Good luck, and I hope I helped :)

I don't understand why when I look at myself in any mirror I see someone that looks completely different from all of my pictures. In the mirror I see me with normal shaped face. Not too long. And I look pretty in the mirror. Yet when other people look at me or when I look at pictures, I have an extremely long face and I'm just plain ugly. I've even had friends comment on how long my face is so its not just the pictures. When I was younger, looking back at the pictures you would think that when that girl grew up, that she would be really pretty. So why do I see myself in the mirror differently than others see me? Am I going crazy? (link)
|
Well, in pictures, people tend to smile. This can change the shape of your face. You are also not focusing on how you look when you are having your picture taken, whereas you are when you are staring at the mirror.
People also tent to have a 'mirror face', or you change parts when you look in a mirror e.g. you suck your cheeks in, raise your eyebrows, etc etc.
You can't really do anything about your face. It's best to just focus on what you do, that you like. And then try and put this face on all the time. So, I usually smile in pictures, which makes me look chubbier than I am with a normal face. I look better when not smiling. So I do not smile in pictures anymore.
Obviously, sometimes you can't help it: spontaneous pictures, and general good times when you are having a good time are situations where you just don't care, or remember.
Hope I helped :)

I'm male/17. I like this girl, she's a year older than me. We barely know eachother. She's very quiet, and I'm shy. I don't talk to girls much. I want to get to know her more, but she doesn't seem interested. She gave me her number after I nervously asked for it in an indirect way. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I called once each day. (Except for Sunday, I missed her call so I called back a few times) Also, my phone accidentally called her at around 1:40am. But anyway, she didn't answer each day, so on Sunday I left a voice message. We spoke later that night, and I basically asked her if she wanted to go out to eat on Monday. She basically said no. I wanted to ask her a few things but I didn't want to seem creey and/or desperate and annoying, so I haven't called since Sunday. I was thinking about calling on the weekend. Should I? Should I give up? What should I do? (link)
|
Well, it really depends on why she said no. Did you suggest another date?
Basically, if she said no because she had plans, and she was interested, she would have suggested another day and time when she was indeed free.
It does sound like she's not interested, I'm afraid. You can still text her now and again: texting it better because she can respond when she wants, even if she if busy. Ask her if she can suggest another time for a date.
But if your instincts tell you that she is not interested, then just move on. There is no point in wasting your time, and the more time you spend on her, the more you will probably fall for her.
Of course she may be playing hard to get, but it's best to text her and be friendly still, and to test the water with her.
Good luck.

You need to speak to him. Trust is the most important thing in a relationship. If there is no trust, it will never last. It's better to break it off with him now, rather than wait until you are married and fall even deeper in love.
But you should speak to him. Tell him that he needs to trust you, and you should do the same. Granted, you lied, but that is no excuse to go snooping around.
You both need to apologise. If he is unwilling to listen and talk, then you know it will not work.

so here my story I am fighting with my parents everyday .Because they never let me go out and also they never take me out to hav fun like other teen So when my sis came from work .She talked 2 me and I was sitting in the living room:((you remember me my friend she is short and wear like you)). Me in my mind :((short ha)) then she walk away.I was sitting and doing nothing so she came again and said:((y your sitting like a zombie)).So I got angry and said :((leave me alone I swear the god I will beat you if you don't)) then she said:((drawf))because I am too short SoI stand and insulted her said :((oh your height is very useful to yourshelf .Where is your husband?!)) because she is old and she don't marry until now lol then she get angry and walk to her room and now I can hear her crying from the living room Did I do sth wrong she started first.I just want her 2 know if she hurts I do to.So Wt I hav to do ignore her or apology witch is almost imposible cause enough of apologies this year I do alot of it to my friends .laugh of loud she came to me when I was writing her eyes are very red said y your laughting.Because I'm laughing when I was writting (link)
|
I really struggled to understand your question. Are you using brackets as quotation marks? :S
To your answer: the first stupid thing that was said was by you: "I will beat you if you don't leave me alone". Granted she said asked why you sat like a zombie, but that was just teasing you. You were still angry from the argument with your parents, and you decided to take it out on your sister. That was unfair.
You need to apologize to your sister if you have not done so already. Say that you are sorry, for being so insensitive. She too, was wrong. But at least you can not change your height. So it is something you can live with. She however, is struggling to find someone to spend the rest of her life with.
In short: Apologize to her. She offended you, but you took it to another level.
On a side note, you shouldn't be angry with your parents for not taking you out like 'other teens'. Not everyone has disposable money. People often struggle. You need to mature, and understand this - Your parents are doing the best they can.

I'm 30. Years old and I have a 7year old and a4year old about 10 months ago I got clean from drugs I had a really bad year of using and I left my husban he took the boys down south to get a way from everything so now that I'm clean I have had the boys up every few months the thing is I have another child 7 months ago and the ex husban has wanted me to not tell the boys fearing they would not understand. Well my boys are going to be coming up on Monday and I have already told my ex I can't hide him anymore so when they get here I'm going to stay at my Moms and leave the baby with his dad and spend a day with just them my question is how do I tell them about there half brother I just don't want to hurt my boys anymore then I already have but I can't hide there brother from them please help (link)
|
You don't need to tell your young children that you were on drugs and slept with someone else. Why would you explain that to a 4 or 7 year old?
Just leave that part out. In my honest opinion (albeit, I don't have children, nor experienced a similar situation), you should just introduce your young child to your elder children. They, at that age, do not understand how children are made. And so you do not need to go into details.
Just introduce them (don't make it a big and grand event, just do it casually). Explain that this is their sibling. Let them all have a relationship together. When they are older, they will understand.
Alternatively, you could hide it. But I don't recommend this.
Like I said, I'm not 100% certain as to the solution, but I hope I helped, and I hope it goes well. Good luck, and let me know what you decide to do! :)

My father and I have always had our differences. His wife is my step mother whom I never truly got along with I just always tried to be mutual. My step mother has a very obnoxious her way or the high way type of personally. Over time I grew up and realized that little by little she was controlling my father. My relationship with him slowly drifted apart, He called me less and less. I moved out of my parents house and got my first apartment back in 2009 and my father only came to visit me once in the 11 months I was there. My eldest sister was also on rocky terms with him as well as my step mother and my sister never got along because she always tried to walk the whole "This is how you parent your children" and there was an argument. My father called her up while she was 8 months pregnant and told her to have a nice life as she sent an email expressing how she felt about the marriage. I began to loose respect for my father little by little...In time I became angry and resenting him for not standing up to his wife. I moved, changed my number, email and disappeared without saying a word. It is now 3 years later somehow my sister made amends with my father and I have debated a few times whether I should try and contact him again but I am hesitant. It has been a very long time and I still cannot bring myself to forgive nor except his wife but I also feel I have the right to have a relationship with my father. I do not know if it is worth the hassle nor how I would go about it if I contacted him.
My question- Is it best to go my own way or are some things best unsaid? (link)
|
My advice to your question is quite short. I think your question requires quality, over quantity, so here goes:
I recommend that you speak to him. If you e-mail him, don't bring up old bones. Don't try to tell him how you felt, or how much you don't like your step mom. Just explain that you would really like to meet him, and make amends, as you want him to be a part of your life, because you love him.
Ask him to meet, and be friendly. Also (briefly) explain that although you love him, and want to be a part of him life, you find it unfair that his wife is disrespectful and insulting to you.
If you want her to be respectful to you, then you have to be willing to do the same. No one is saying you have to be bosom buddies. Just be civil, because she obviously makes your father happy. And that after all is what you both want. So be civil. Say hi to her when you see her. Ask her how she is. Ask how work is. Conduct in small talk. Save the big, friendly chummy talk for your father.
So In short: ask to meet your father. Do not be angry. Be civil with his wife. Focus on the future with your dad, rather than the messy part.
Good luck! Hope I helped! :)

I don't know what to do with my boyfriend since he keeps hanging up on me,he just stops calling me for the whole day,he acts as though he was actually playing with me,he knows I am very sensitive and overemotional,and he seems to take advantage of that.The thing is that I don't wanna dump him,I cannot imagine my life without him;right away I start missing him a lot,I cry a lot and he knows this;so everytime we have the slightest argument he hangs up on me and spends the rest of the day without calling me or texting me,this situation sucks and I don't want it anymore,but I just don't know what to do,I don't know what to do with him.Last night we sorted things out but he warned me that if we start a fight again, he'll do the same no matter how much I cry and how much I beg him to call me.He's acting as a bad person and I know with all my heart that he's a good guy,he's got a good heart,then why does he do this?and what do I with him?Thanks for taking the time to read this;) (link)
|
It sounds like he isn't really the guy for you.
You clearly notice that he is taking advantage of your feelings. He also says that he'll hang up on you no matter what, if you argue again.
Communication (along with trust) is one of the most important aspects of a relationship. If you two can not communicate your problems to get past them, then it will never work. EVER.
If he want's to be childish, and hang up, then he can. But the mature thing to do is to talk about it, rather than just to put the phone down and disregard your feelings.
He doesn't sound like a very nice guy at all to be honest. What I recommend is, that you break up with him. I know it may seem difficult, and painful right now. But you will- eventually- get over him. You will find someone who does not hurt you emotionally, and can understand how you feel.
So I say you speak to him. Break it off, if you can not reach an understanding whereby he is willing to speak about things, rather than hang up and ignore you.
Like I said, it won't be easy, but you'd rather end it now, rather than wait even longer, and get involved with him more and more until it becomes near impossible.
Good luck :)

ok so i'm a person that has stress and worries that are really dumb because there worries about anything and always negative but that's not my main worry because iv learned to think positive. the main worry is that i have sweaty palms i already tried to mentally stop because i know that its mentally and that sweating is part of life but i just want a diet for feeling relaxed. maybe then ill be able to stop my sweaty palms. someone tell me a cheap and some healthy ways on eating to reduce sweat or something to decreased sweating so much ...thanks!!(: (link)
|
Well, sweating can only relatively be helped with diet. Whereas, a visit to your doctor will help. Sometimes, they can prescribe your medication/powders/cream etc for the problem.
In regards to diet, you want to drink plenty of water. It's odd, I know, because sweat is water. But water can help to flush toxins out.
The rest is just the usual. You want to avoid heavy, spicy, and fatty food. No junk food, nothing too big, keep sugar and salt to a minimum. Stick to fresh fruit and vegetables. Atleast half of your plate should be fruit and veg. A card pack sized of protein (chicken, eggs, fish etc).
So really, In short, you want to be eating a healthy diet. Plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid heavy, sugary, fatty junk food.
Good luck.

Does anyone here think they would read a *very, very, very* long question? Will the Advicenators team delete it because it's too long? What id I have to slit it into 2 questions?
Thank you all in advance! I will put the link in additional info for anyone who's interested! It'll hopefully be up in a few days, maybe a week. This question is important to me so I want to know how everyone will react to it and if you'll actually read the whole thing. (link)

DangerNerd's answer is pretty good. I'd just like to add, be sure to lay it out properly i.e. break up paragraphs, use full stops etc, so that it is easier for us to read!

Ironic that you want to be an english teacher!
Enough of the sly insults.
Most teachers do it for the right reasons: because they enjoy spreading their knowledge to those who are eager to learn.
That's the romantic way of thinking of it. The fact is, children can be very difficult. They're bodies and minds are changing, they are emotional, and their hormones are going through the roof. This can make it difficult. It is also difficult with the whole dealing with children that do not want to learn, and there are plenty of these.
My advice is to actively look around your school. See the problems, see what teachers do, ask your teachers what they think about their job, and speak to your careers adviser if you have one.
If you still want to do it, then go for it. It's hard work, of course. Nothing is easy. But if you really want to become a teacher, then no one can stop you.
I should add that the pay is not great also.
Good luck.

ok, so just to let you know, i am an eleven year-old girl in seventh grade, blond hair, blue eyes,and im petite. my boyfriend, *tyler*, tells me i'm beautiful and funny and that he loves me everyday/night, (i know what you're thinking, oh, how cute!) but he used to have a gf who broke up with him. (she is now my bestie) the thing is, when he broke up with her, he said, (and i quote) 'ill never love again! id be too sad.' so im not so sure if he lied to her or me, and its really confusing. please dont answer by saying, 'you're too young to date!' because i really love this boy. ps: *tyler* is not his real name and he has brown hair, blue eyes, and he is also skinny (link)

I doubt he's lying. Infact, he is just a child, who does not know what love it. As children (yes, ages 11, you are still a child), you think liking someone a lot is love. It is not.
Children have a lot to learn: I used to be one, believe it or not. I'm 20 and I'm starting to get to maturity, but still laugh at stupid things.
So he is just confused. So are you. At aged 11, you can not even fathom what love is. Love takes months (minimum), usually years to develop. What you have is not love, it's just liking each other.
But what he said, he must have just said because that is how he felt at the time. He thought, he would never like anyone ever again. He was just caught up with the moment, and was very emotional.
So it's not a lie. But it's certainly not love.
