Q: I am seriously getting stressed here! My best friend told me yesterday that she was through with life and she wanted to kill herself! I've been through this before with another one of my friends. It turned out that that friend wasn’t going to commit suicide she was just really depressed but I had told someone. Now it’s happening again with a different friend so I told my mom this time. I let her read the conversation we had and then my mom was just like "All I see here is a very angry child trying to get attention." I don’t see it that way though. My mom had said that out of the 100% of people that say there going to commit suicide, 98% don’t and 2% do. My friend said that sometime before high school is over she's going to kill herself. I have 4 years to convince her not to, but I tried a ton yesterday. She said its not helping and that I shouldn’t be her friend anymore. I love being her friend and I understand that she's trouble from home life (her mother doesn’t trust her!
Her brother doesn’t like her, and her dad abused her but has stopped). What should I do? I really don’t want my friend to kill herself but she doesn’t understand that!

Q: Well, my birthday is in 3 days. I'm turning 14.

My friend Jessica is supposed to come along with my 4 other friends. Jessica hasn't contacted me in 2 days and she didn't even mention my party. I invited her and she said she can most likely come!

But now I want to invite my friend Anne, but I'm not so sure I should because Jessica will get rather mad at me! I'm afraid she'll show up or call if I invited Anne, and I don't want her getting mad because I invited someone else because she didn't call me about it. That's the only reason I would have invited Anne, because Jessica hasn't contacted me in any way.

What should I do!?

Q: Well see... today I went to meet a friend and do something with her (laycieee) so i was like 5 minutes away from my other friends house so i rode there just to say hi. Anyway i wrote this song and i really wanted Lindsay to hear it. Now everyone knows im a HORRIBLE singer but i really loved the lyrics to my song. So I told her to listen to it on my mp3 player. She started and she started laughing uncontrollably in my face. I felt horrible after that. I mean; yes i know im a bad singer but its like with her laughing in my face like that i felt really bad. Then i feelt bad because i felt like later when i met my other frined (laycieee) i was like wicked out of it and idk i dont think i was my self because of what happened with Lindsay earlier that day.
(just for the record; Lindsay and Laycie hate eachother so i couldnt tell Laycie cuz she'd badmouth lindsay and i'd start alot of shit)

Q: I got a second rat the other day and I want her to live with my first rat. They're in separate cages at present for quarantine purposes, in case the new rat is sick. Both rats are female and both are relatively young. How do I introduce them so they will learn to get along and live together peacefully not try to kill each other?

Q: Okay, there is this new guy at school. He just moved here. He isn't cute at all, and is weird. I talked to him once because he was just sitrting there, and I felt bad. Now, he always stares at me. How do I get him to stop?

Q: I have this best friend I've known for 6 years now. She has been with her boyfriend for over a year now and sometimes I start to think I am becoming less important to her since her boyfriend came in the picture.

I tried to tell her how happy I am of her and her boyfriend but sometimes i feel left out of most things her and I used to do. Sometimes I feel like I'm the one crawling to her cause it's ALWAYS me asking her to come over to hang out or to go to the mall.

What bugs me the most is that when she's over my house to spend the night, she's talking to her boyfriend 9 pm til 2 in the morning. I've noticed that whenever I tried to make plans with her she pretty much says "Oh, I can't do anything today" then the next hour later, she's off at the mall with her boyfriend.

I don't mean to sound jealous at all, though I do get easily jealous but since I've started a new school year and a totaly different school, I don't want to get jealous of the stupidest things anymore.

I've also noticed that she's a totaly different person when she's around her boyfriend compared to me. When she's with me she's all crazy and wild and herself, but whenever we're (her boyfriend, her and I) are at the mall, her boyfriend would crack a joke about something and she'll end up laughing at me.

Another thing is that she tells her boyfriend EVERYTHING. I even have to tell her that I don't want anyone knowing in order to keep something between her and I private. I don't mean to sound rude or dis-respectful but I think her boyfriend should give her some space sometimes, he calls every minute when she's over my house and she tells him what we're doing, where we're going, blah, blah, blah.

Whenever I mention to her about "She pays more attention to her boyfriend than her other friends" and that "She never hangs out with me or other friends as often anymore" it's weird cause whenever I mention those things THEN that's where she'll start making plans.

Ah, I don't know what to do. It seems like she could care less about what I think of this whole thing, she wouldn't understand, trust me I tried telling her couple of times, she thinks it's no biggie.

It seems like she's kicking me out of the picture.

My closet friend is now someone I knew for 2 years and My friend who has the boyfriend I've known for 6 years.

What do you think I should do about this?
My friends told me I should talk to her about her forgetting about me and barely ever inviting me to places anymore. But I've tried that already.

I'm terribly sorry that this is extremely long but it's been bothering me for the past week.

Thanks bunches :)
