we are in highschool. so my boyfriend broke up with me about a month ago. and it was hard on me. it was kind of out of the blue. we did evverything but sex and when i asked him why he broke up with me. he said that he still wants to be friends but he has a lot going on right now with getting a job and his friends.. so i said "you can tell me the truth and you really think being friends will work? you don't have to say that if you don't mean it." and he said "yes that's it and that he still likes me just needs time and if things don't work out with us in the future he does want to be friends".. so it's been a month and he has made no effort to even talk to me let alone be my friend. the thing is his girl friend before me and him are like best friends since they broke up and i wonder why can't we still be friends? i honestly really want him back. and like a few days after we broke up we were going to be at the same party together and he texted me and basically made a point that he wanted to hook up and i said " i don't know. we'll see what happens." because i didn't want to give him that satisfaction even though i would have hooked up with him and he said something along the lines of "what do you want to sleep with ed? (his best guy friend and also my friend) and i denied it because me and ed are really just friends. in the end he didn't go to the party because he made plans prior to it he forgot about.. and right now, all i want is him back.. but i don't know how.. i've been hurting a lot because he lied to me about being friends still when he promised. i would take him back in a second but i just hate him at the same time right now for putting me through this. what should i do? i really don't want to move on.. i don't see myself with any other guy and i don't want to be with any other guy.we are in highschool. so my boyfriend broke up with me about a month ago. and it was hard on me. it was kind of out of the blue. we did evverything but sex and when i asked him why he broke up with me. he said that he still wants to be friends but he has a lot going on right now with getting a job and his friends.. so i said "you can tell me the truth and you really think being friends will work? you don't have to say that if you don't mean it." and he said "yes that's it and that he still likes me just needs time and if things don't work out with us in the future he does want to be friends".. so it's been a month and he has made no effort to even talk to me let alone be my friend. the thing is his girl friend before me and him are like best friends since they broke up and i wonder why can't we still be friends? i honestly really want him back. and like a few days after we broke up we were going to be at the same party together and he texted me and basically made a point that he wanted to hook up and i said " i don't know. we'll see what happens." because i didn't want to give him that satisfaction even though i would have hooked up with him and he said something along the lines of "what do you want to sleep with ed?

ed has told me before how tyler was upset about the breakup too and that he feels like an ass hole for doing that.. ed has also said what a good couple we were when we were together. it's hard to hear.

Im a 17yearold guy, in highschool as well.
I had an IDENTICAL situation with my girlfriend last week, like no joke. We were perfect, always talking, texting hours a day, talking on the phone, kissing at school, it was great. But the next day at school, i could hardly recognise her.... she turned into a different person.
But in your case, i really dont understand how a guy is doing it, because we as guys are always the ones pushing for a relationship, not the otehr way around. I personally have been with many girls, and ive never even thought about ignoring them or breaking up with them.
Studies and psycologists have showed that "being friends" after a breakup is nearly impossible.... since there are still feelings there, and its hard as hell to pretend like there are no more feelings when you are trying to be "friends".
from a guy's point of view, i think tyler is just scared of how serious you are. A relaionship is all about the balance of interest. If one person is more serious, the other will back away and find someone who makes him/her more Comfortable.
give him more time, because he probably just needs to get his head in gear, and he doesnt wanna hurt you by dragging you along with his problems, which is why he broke up with you. Give him more time, and if you find out that he is a liar and has been lying about his reason, then he is just a plain-out asshole and theres nothing you can do to change that. Plenty of fish in the sea:) Chin UP!


20female Joe 19. This might be a little long but I'll return the favor! :)

So I've known Joe for about 5 years now. We used to be close but we have grown apart over the years. We still see each other but not every day like we used to.

Anyways, basically there is a lot of sexual tension between us. We flirt a lot, but we have never done anything. Seriously I would have sex with him in a second. That sounds kind of slutty but it's true. Please don't say anything about you shouldn't have sex with your friends, etc.

So here are some examples of what he does when we're together. Tell me if you think he's into me or you think he's joking around.

So we went to the casino tonight with my two cousins, Joe and his friend. Me Joe and his friend were in the back seat on the way there. First, Joe goes to put his seat belt on and purposely grabs my butt and I just look at him and he smiles at me. Then at the casino i'd be on the opposite side of him and he would be staring at me and I'd catch him and then he'd wink at me and then start kind of laughing. Then he'd ask what I was doing tonight and at the same time I said "Not you ;)" and he said "Me?" and we both started laughing. I would of said "you" being serious but I sort of panicked. Then on the way home we were messing with my Ipod seeing what song we wanted and he was like here let me pick one, and I was still holding it but basically his hand was over mine kind of holding it. THEN we were sitting in the car and i layed my head on his friend cause we were tired and i stretched my legs on Joe and he put his hand between my legs and started rubbing the outside of my vagina through my jeans (for like 30 sec) and then he just left his hand there for about 5 min but then when his friend left and we were still in the car i was laying all the way down with my legs still on him (his hand wasn't on me anymore) and he had the chance to do whatever he wanted but he was playing some dumb game on his Ipod. And then he was like alright I think it's time to go home, and he left.

Just at times it seems like he doesn't really want me, because it seems like he has chances but doesn't take it. When he touches me I don't push his hand away or anything. But when he asks or brings up sex or something I freeze up. And I know a lot of the times he's like joking around when he says stuff like that, but is being serious about it too. But then other times he does all that stuff and will touch me and everything.

Do you think maybe I'm giving him mixed signals? I feel like he is giving me mixed signals. And to be honest, I would be like let's go and start making out with him and whatever but I don't know if that's what he wants! I'm too afraid to make a move, I want HIM to. But I never know if he's being serious or joking. I'm almost 98% sure he would hook up with me, but then there is that 2% that has doubts. What should i do, am I not putting myself out there enough? The only time I have brought up sex with him was in September when I texted him and he was like "you wanna have sex with me?" And I was like "Haha i don't know if you can handle it though ;)" And he was like "Oh please! Yes i could!" But nothing ever came from that. So I feel like if we're together one of us has to make a move, rather than planning it out or something awkward. I feel like we're both too afraid to make a move, in case the other one doesn't feel the same.

How can I put myself out there, and maybe make a subtle move on him that's not really obvious but would get things going? And we're usually always with friends, so it's hard sometimes. (link)
As a guy myself, i've had a good friend who i never actually been "together with" but at times she would call me over to her house when her parents were gone and we would do stuff. She wasnt the best looking girl, or the smartest, but we just had a strong physical attraction that caused us to always grab each other without even having a conversation at first...
I think thats what is happening with you and Joe. You guys used to be close, like COMPANIONATE love, when you guys talked, shared feelings, gave each otehr advice, etc. That is called friendship.
But now you said you guys grew apart?
Now your relationship changed from Companionate love to only physical love, and thats not always a good thing.
Sometimes he may be having doubts because he feels sorry for himself that he is only using you for sexual favours. Think about it, and try talking to him, because that very well might be true that sometimes he is having doubts from his guilt.
There are many reasons why he might be acting like this: he could like someone else, but is only using you for the physical part. He could be gay. He could be stressed. Or it is just your connection that is dying, so he is trying to revive your relationship by "grabbing your ass" and stuff.
Just talk to him, and if he cant even talk to you for more than a minute, then there is your answer. Hope i helped :)


okay, so im 16/f, my bf/15 of over seven months just broke up with me. he broke up with me a week before my birthday(which was like 4 days ago, and ill be 17) through a text message in my first period class. i had wanted to break up with him before like 4 times but stuck it through bc he begged me, i didnt want to hurt him, and i wanted to work it out as well. SO i begged him not to break up with me, i asked him to give it a week and if he felt the same then i would break up with him. he gave it over night. i gave him four chances and he didnt even give me one. he's such a jerk. it was hard on me, i cried the whole week. well, now im mad. so ive got a mission to make him want me. im going to make him miss me and beg to get back together so that i can say 'im sorry, you broke up with me. i just cant do that.' phase one of the mission is complete:aka:knowing he actually cares. i deleted all pics of us on facebook, put a status that said had a great day and cant wait for the weekend up (so itll make him wonder) and today i sat at lunch with a hot guy (my ex and i have the same lunch together at school...and the hot guy is just a friend) well the hot guy knows the situation(he has a gf) and will talk and touch my shoulder or something to provoke my ex if hes looking. well it worked! at lunch my ex kept walking up and down the lunchroom, he pretended to pay for extra lunch, kept looking at us the whole time. it was GREAT. now i dont know what im supposed to do. do i keep doing what im doing now? do something different? and if i do something different, what would that be and when am i supposed to do it? how do i make him want to talk to me? (because we havent spoken since the breakup and im giving him the space he wants so im just going to wait for him to make the first move). what do i do next? PLEASE help me, as MANY suggestions as possible, good advice, i need it. and i WILL Rate :) (link)
As a 17yearold guy, sitll in highschool, i would personally HATE it if my ex girlfriend did that to me. Yes, it will make me jealous, just like how you are trying to make me jealous. But you missed one thing....
YOU ARE MAKING HIM JEALOUS.
Being jealous doesnt make somebody want you back, especially guys. Guys will get pissed off and perceive you as a bitch, and wouldnt want to talk to you again. And firstly, even if your whole plan actually works, he will only come back to you for all the wrong reasons. So it isnt even worth the effort.
I remmebered when me and my ex broke up, and she was trying to seem all happy and touching other guys, and i lost it. It did NOT make me want her more, it just made me HATE her even more, and im sorry to say, thats probably what your boyfriend will do. He will hate you, and you making him jealous and acting immature about the whole situation wont make him any closer to getting back with you. It will make him realise how immature you are and he will move on.
If you REALLY wanna get him back, i suggest talking to him in a mature manner and tell him all the things you feel about him, because i know as a guy myself, i would hate it if a girl did that to me. Hope i helped :)


im 18/f

im about to have sex with my best friend whom i have very strong feelings for. The thing is, im a virgin and hes not...and the last girls hes slept with have been extremely thin with models bodys. i weigh around 57kg and im not very tall so i feel so 'heavy' compared to them. My bestfriend says he has really deep feelings for me and says that he can feel something real between us and thinks im insanely beautiful. But i feel bad still, even knowing he thinks im beautiful. I hide my flaws very very well! so i feel very nervous about him seeing me naked now, considering he has the body of a sex god and i have a rather large stomach even though the rest of me is petite. im really terrified of him seeing all of me...especially when i like him so much and im scared it will turn him off :(
(link)
57 kilos for an 18 year old girl? Girl, thats totally normal. IM a 17 yearold guy and i only weigh 64 kilos, and i always felt small to some girls who i were really attracted to, who were all taller than i am.
As a girl, i understand that you are sometimes insecure. But i bet if i saw you right now, (especially from a guy's POV) i would think you are attractive. Alot of guys dont like super skinny girls, a little meat is good, especially in the right places ;)
And nobody is perfect. YOu may think your boyfriend has the body of a god, but there could be alot of things that HE is insecure about as well. For ex: the size of his penis, his muscles arent big enough, his chest is small, his hair is dirty, or something about his face.
So dont worry and be happy that you are even IN a relationship, becuase that usually hard to find these days :)


so ive been chatting this kid that goes to my friends school and we were supposed to meet up but we couldnt. and the next time i see him i want to wow him or whatever. i think he likes me he thinks im pretty and shit. and i rly dont want to be single anymore. i am really god at giving advice to my girlfriends on how to get a guy and go out, and it alwayd works. so for me i know them but if you guys know any tips can you say them please thank you. Also just in general what are some ways guys get attracted to girls and like them. Just some tips thanks (link)
I'm a guy myself, but i havent gotten many girls. But when i have, i always like it when i lay back and let the girl approach me and do all the work for me. It may seem that guys always approach the girl, but that is not necessarily true. As guys, we are lazy and like to sit back and scope out girls and wait for one of them to approach us. You should do exactly that:) Approach the guy, text him, call him, talk to him on facebook, etc. But dont rush it, as some guys may get weirded by that. But just remember...... one very important thing..... always serve first to get th person interested. Then you step back and let them come to you. Remember that the amount of interest has to be balanced between both of you, and things will work out :D

i like this guy,adrian and he likes me too. well, he asked me out and i said "no" and he kept on asking me out and i still kept on saying "no". i really wanted to say "yes" but i couldnt because i heard that he is a player and he hurts girls and just plays around with them. so he said that he gave up on asking me out because me didnt want me to get hurt by him.

so then he started dating some other girl named lesly. and she seems nice i really dont know her and shes not my friend. so anyway, before school started i noticed that he was staring at me hile talking with friends. and at break he kept on yelling me name to get my attention, but i turned the other way pretending i didnt hear him. then at lunch he sent one of my friends to tell me that he still likes me and that he was willing to break up with lesly and go out with me. i really wanted to say "yes" but how will lesly take it? i dont want her to get hurt. but neither do i.

-darkangel31 (link)
if you want to date him, tell him you want to wait a week or two after he stops dating lesly to start going out with him. that way lesly won't feel like he broke up with her for you. just be careful, what if this guy does the same thing to you as he did to lesly? do you really want to be with a guy like that?


19/m

I started talking to one of my old friends, who I used to have a huge crush on. He was so sweet and amazing, but nothing ever came out of it. And he has told me that he has absolutely no feelings for me, but I just can not get over him. I am still so attracted to him that it is not even funny. I want so bad to go out with him, I have for the longest time. But he has no interest. What should I do? (link)
act like you don't like him anymore. basically play hard to get. every guy wants what he can't have


I have 41gb of stuff that falls into the "other" category on itunes. There's no way that this is just album artwork and lyrics because I only have 40.1gb of audio. I think it might be a virus because I have downloaded some stuff for free off the internet :-/ I don't have any pictures or anything else synced besides music. My ipod can't sync because there isn't enough space on it. How can I delete this "other" category. Also, I'm confused because it just showed up out of no where today and my computer totally didn't have 40 extra gb of space so i have no idea where whatever is taking up that much space is being stored (link)
you should probably reset your ipod and erase all of your songs and then plug it back into your computer and put your songs on it again. hopefully the "other" stuff won't go onto your ipod this time. (you might want to manually highlight your songs and drag them onto your ipod. use shift + click to highlight a bunch at the same time). if that doesn't work you should take your ipod to the apple store. hope i helped!


I want to use a t-mobile phone but still have verizon service. I know how to switch the phone number over without going to the store but that's with a verizon to verizon, or at least I think so. I haven't tried otherwise. If I need to get an unlocked phone that would work also but I was wondering if I can do that. If I can please tell me how! :) thanks soooooooo much! :) (link)
You would need to unlock your phone, or buy an unlocked phone. Unlocked phones are usually advertised as so. To unlock a phone, you can contact T-Mobile and ask them to unlock it, but they will charge you.

Also, you can go to a Phone repair shop? Or most general phone shops, and they will unlock it for you.

Hope i helped :)

Okay, I ordered the 32GB Ipad2 ... very excited. I also ordered the smart cover case in pink. Now I want a carrying case from Vera Bradley. They have the regular case and then the mini laptop. I want to get the one that will fit the Ipad in ... with its smart cover case on... should I get the regular laptop case? idk the dimensions of the Ipad with the smart case on... advice... please (link)
Hi there :)
The iPad dimensions are:
9.5 inches tall x 7.31 wide x 0.34 thick

The whole point of the smart cover case is that its supposed to be thin, so it wont be too bulky, or drastically change the dimensions.

A Vera Bradley Mini Laptop case dimensions are:
11 inches tall x 8 wide x 2 thick.

So the iPad will fit into the bag, and the vera bradley website says "secure your...iPad..".

The question now is whether the ipad with the smart cover will fit in the bag? Absolutely, because the cover is so incredibly thin, it wont change the dimensions enough for it not to fit into the Vera Bradley Mini Laptop bag.

Hope i helped :)


17/f

usually, my fingers slightly curve upward when I try to hold my hands straight because they are 'double jointed.' theyve been like this for as long as I can remember. but within the past few months my fingers have began to curve the opposite way, as if beginning to bend them. it effects 4 fingers on my right hand, & my pinky & kind of my ring finger on my left (not my,thumbs). the pinky fingers & ring fingers are the worst on both hands. they hurt or feel strained frequently & its slowly gotten worse. even my right wrist hurts sometimes.
i dont use a keyboard often, I havent had any injuries, I dont go to school so im not holding a pencil often, basically no strenous activities. I need to get this fixed because im starting beauty school in the fall, & I need my fingers well for scissors.
what is this & what should I do?
thanks :) (link)
Obviousely you should go to the doctors. It may be calcium or vitamin D deficiency, or arthiritis...but im not a doctor...so i wouldnt be able to tell you. I dont think there is a single doctor on this site even?

hope i helped :)


I have this guy who used to babysit me when I was 7. I am now 18, and have just moved back to england after leaving for american for 10 years. He always messages me on facebook and I dont even remember him! He is atleast 30 years old. He wanted to go out on a date, so i agreed just to see who this guy was. In the end, I ended up getting really drunk and ended up at his house. I woke up in the morning not even remembering what happened when we got there. He has a big American flag above his bed. I am scared he is a bit to into me.. can you please tell me if im just over exaggerating?? (link)
Okay, granted...he may have had an innapropriate crush on you, and maybe still does.

But the fact that you went out on a date with him, Got drunk with him, Ended up at his house, And for all you know, could have had sex, or whatever with him without even knowing it (because you say you were too drunk to remember), doesn't help, because you're giving him mixed signals.

Even if he only liked you a little before, im sure he likes you alot more after you going on a date with him.

The best thing is to probabaly just tell him straight. You don't like him, so tell him. The age gap is pretty inappropriate aswell. You have nothing to lose. And if he keeps messaging you, you can report it to fb. Hope i helped :)


How to have vagina without fishy odor...when doctor says no infection is the cause

Detox may work, maybe you are not getting enough water in your body, which usually takes all the toxins in your body and flushes them out. Obviousely washing everyday atleast once with a nice smelling gel or soap will help. You can also get wipes, such as FemFresh, which will help :)


There is this guy who works at the gym I go to. Whenever he works the front desk he always seems to be the one that checks me. At first I thought it was just a coincidence but after awhile I started to realize that he always check me in. No matter how many people are standing waiting to be seen or how many people are working behind the desk he always calls me over to him so he can check me in himself. When I show him my key pass he stares at it a very long time and sometimes he repeats my number over and over. I was wondering if this is just really good customer service or is there something else that I'm not seeing? Also I want to know what info shows up when I check in? (link)
Hi, well it seems that he may have a crush on you. If it happens every single time, then i suppose it may just be that.

In reference to the information, you may be able to Find out by contacting the Gyms head office, and asking for all the info they have on you, under the Freedom of Information act. they may charge you a little for administration, but you may get all the info they have on you.

Alternatively, you can just ask the guy himself, but dont be so suspicious. Maybe you can be all "is it not working?" which he may respond to you with "no...im just trying to find your phone number"....or...."no...let me try again" or whatever. Or just go straight out and ask "what are you looking at on there?"

Are there any sites that allow me to watch Tales of the Abyss, based off the video game? I don't do the downloading thing either. I just want to go to the site, click play and watch. Like youtube. I'd rather watch it Japanese with English subs too. (link)
OV Guide is a good website for things like that. You just search the show, and it shows you every website that plays it:

My teen wanted to post some videos he made on YouTube. We felt he was too young, but after MUCH fighting we tried to compromise under the conditions that he would show us the videos first, before loading them and would only load them if we approved. To make a long story short, 35+ downloads later, he is putting on material that is not appropriate for a 14 yr old and could very likely attract an older audience that could cause bigger problems. I want his site shut down. It is not visually provacative - it's verbally provacative - swearing, sexual language, etc. How can I shut down his account? Please don't tell me I can't. I am very worried. Thank you. (link)
I totally understand where you are coming from.

Upon researching google, it seems that you Cant actually de-activate the account without the password, as you need to be signed in to do this. If you can get access to the page while being logged in, this is how:

1.Sign in with your username and password.

2.Click the "My Account" link in the upper right-hand corner.

3.Under Account Settings, click the "Delete Account" link.

4.Enter the reason why you're closing the account and your password, then click the "Delete My Account" button.

5.Click the "Log Out" link in the upper right-hand corner.

You can use this if he stays signed in or whatever. Alternatively, you may be able to disable the account if you Contact youtube, but i'm not sure what proof they may ask that you are his parent. Just try to explain the situation to them. I cant seem to find Contact info on the site, but i have found a link to the Youtube help forum; there may be some people who may be able to help you there:

This might be long. Sorry. 13/female
(NOTE: I am a very loud person! & I'm tall 4 my age)
In 5th grade I had a teacher who was so happy and cheerful about everything,(not that I'm not a happy person, I am, it's just that nobody is that happy every minute of every day!) she didn't really give us enough work (as in we didn't learn anything, and if we did it wasn't much), just straight up, she was a bad teacher. I don't think she even knew her job was teaching kids to not still leave her class knowing the same stuff they already did when they first came in. I mean, she's a TEACHER. She is a pushover too, and that made it worse. Some people even got away with not turning in work. Whenever I would ask her about a project she would be laughing with another student and I couldn't've gotten her attention, even if i was right in her face. I could've stood right next to her for 10 minutes straight & there would still be a croud of people still talking 2 her. I got so frustrated I just gave up & I ended up getting a low grade on something. She was the language arts teacher so I guess it didn't really hurt my grade overall much because I did all my homework and anything else I could do without help, especially my own teacher!

Last year in 6th grade I had a great geography teacher. He would get us to draw maps, we always get homework that didn't take too long and was due on every Friday. We learned A LOT and had fun at the same time because he would walk around the class telling a story or talking to us about whatever it was he was teaching that day, or we would make mosaics and hang them up all around the school. And we would take notes with music on. He was a great geography teacher.

But now this year i have the same teacher I thought I was over with in 5th Grade! She gives us the answers to tests on a piece of paper to copy on it and then she lets us use it on the test. How are we going to learn like that? That's just cheating in a new way! She didn't change at all! What makes it worse is that my old geography teacher is right across the hall form this year's geography teacher, so when I go to my geography class, I want to turn the other way and not into the geography class I usually have to go to.

So, I guess what I'm asking is how do u think I can get my tacher switched with my old one? Or even get her fired? There are a bunch of kids that think the same thing.
Thanks in advance! (link)
In my opinion, you must not stand for this, and must make your voice heard. After all, this is your education. You NEED this education, you need a good teacher, not a friend. You have an excellent attitude about this, im sure some kids will think "this is good...no work...all play...why complain?".

My first step would be to report this to the principle, or someone of a similar authority. Do you have an anonymous system of feedback? Maybe all the kids with the same mindset could write a letter to the principle, or the head of department if you have one.

Also, maybe you could talk to the Teacher you like? the good one? Ask if there is anyway you can change group (if this is possible). But the best thing to do it to write a letter to the principle, or talk to them. I have taken the time to write you a general outline template. to make things simpler, I will call the bad teacher Mrs Smith, the good teacher Mr Old, and the principle Mr Prince. Obviousely, change the names to what they really are:

To Mr Prince
I am writing to you in reference to Mrs Smith. Me and a number of other students are unsatisfied with the level of teaching provided by her, and feel that we can no longer go on with being taught by in such a way. **insert all the problems with the teacher here**.

I am sure that you will understand the importance of a good education, and i am sure that you will take matters further, in the best interest of me and my fellow students, as well as our parents, who we have also informed about the issue.

Thank you,

Make sure you put the Parents bit in, it will 'scare' the principle, as parents are seen to be able to make more of a difference. Also, tell your parents, let them know of the problems.

So my mom hates me & its not joke I do my laundry clean the whole house & help her take care of my baby sister. But when I ask her if I can go out with my friends she says "NO!" & locks me in a room with no windows or doors. Only one that is locked from the outside.
How can I get her to love me or trust me? (link)
Okay, you say you think your mother doesnt trust you? Why do you think that is? Have you done something wrong to lose her trust?

You say you help out, and so this is good. It may be that your mother is in a bad place in life? Has she always been like this? Or is this very recent?

Whatever the excuse however, the fact that you are locked into a room, with no exit, no windows etc, can be classified as torture, not to mention its bad parenting.

My recommendation? As hard as it may be, you may try speaking to her. However, this might not work. If not, I would recommend call your local Child Protective Service, or similar local charity. This may be difficult for you because its your Mom. You obviously love her. But sometimes you need to need to make such hard decisions, as it may mean your mum gets the help she needs, which will benefit her.

I got caught shoplifting at an Urban Outfitters two weeks ago with a friend. I had gotten caught with one shirt and she had over $150 worth of things. All they did to me was ask for my ID (I gave them my school ID because I'm only 15) to get my name and they asked for my address. I told the worker an accurate address, but I guess my voice had been trembling because she wrote down something extremely different. I didn't know whether I should have corrected her or not, so I didn't.

They took my friend to the back room and called the cops/got all her information and stuff, but they told me I could go because I didn't take enough things to need assistance from the cops. The only information they have on file of me is my name, a fake address, and possibly my school from my ID.

Yesterday, my friend said she got a civil demand for $500 dollars and now I'm freaking out. She said they hadn't said anything to her about sending her a civil demand and they didn't say anything to me, either, so I'm worried that they did send one and it won't reach me because they don't have my correct address. What do I do? What will happen if I don't pay? What's the best way to go about this situation right now?

I'm aware that I shouldn't have stolen and it was my first time doing so. There is really no use in lecturing me right now because I've heard enough of it already. Thanks in advance. (link)
They have your name, and school, and so thats all they need to contact you really.

The cops can show up at your school, ask to see you, its that easy.

If you were served with a civil demand, and you didnt pay, they can take you to court to pay it. I think the best thing, is to ring the court, and confirm the right address. Granted you may get into more trouble, but you will get into even more trouble if you have to go to court.

The chances are however, that you will not need to pay anything, because they let you go. However, they can send you a civil demand, even if a criminal prosecution has not been made against you by the police. Also, if you ignore the letters, whatever your excuse, the fine will get higher and higher.

Best thing is to ring the store, explain that you havnt recieved any letters like your friend has, and just wanted to confirm the address they had. It really is the right thing to do.

Hope i helped :)
