Hey! Well just a quick word in. I like to give advice, but only when I know what I'm talking about, so I will only answer to certain questions that I'm positive about. But please ask me... send it into my inbox and if I can't help you I will tell you. I'm not going to give you a load of crap. Most of the time I can help you though. Please rate or give me feedback because I want to know how my answered affected you! And like most other columnists if you get mad about an answer because you asked a question on our opinion (Like "what do you think this means", etc) don't get mad.

I'm so holy-crap overwhelmed by everything right now! Most of it's from this girl. Don't tell me that teens can't love. I'm 13, and I know what love is. I know I'm in love. But she doesn't like me back. So that's two things so far, love and rejection. Then there's jealousy, when I found out that she had an ex and her first kiss. Her ex is coming back. I know it. I can just feel it. And I have nobody to talk to about it: my parents don't understand (I tried), my friends are as equally nerdy as I am, and don't know a thing about love; I'm way too busy to go see a therapist; I'm too shy to tell her all this.
And of course school. I made all the advanced classes, so that's kinda annoying. But not as much.
And finally, orchestra. I'm in my regular orchestra, a chamber orchestra, an ensemble orchestra, and a jazz orchestra, and I'm also taking private lessons. So that's a holy-crap lot of music to practice.
And now I'm way to overwhelmed to focus on anything. I feel like Charlie Gordon, from Flowers for Algernon. At one point, he described himself as "a blind man allowed to see the light" and that's exactly how I feel. I never knew emotions before. Ever. Now that I know love, rejection, jealousy, etc, I know how to feel. And I've been trying to get over that girl, but I just can't! I can't even remember how I went through my life before I became obsessed with her, before I found Advicenators and started asking and ansering questions, before I knew how to love! I want to be normal again! I want to continue life as I previously had! I can't do anything! I'm just blabbering on and on and on, but there's so much to say! AAUGH!!!!!!!! I'm so pissed off, frusterated, angry, weirded out, overwhelmed, confusticated, and just plain SCREWED UP! Please help! I can't go on with life, I'm losing sleep! (link)

Okay this might be a long answer but first of all after you read this you need to CALM DOWN.
* First please just take a breather for at least 5 minutes. I know you say you have so much to do and are so overwhelmed but you need to like meditate or something. Okay here I bet you have at least 10 minutes to spare if not make it shorter. Sit down somewhere on your bedroom floor, on your bed, kitchen table, anywhere and preferably alone. Close your eyes and don't think anything like "okay now I get to sit here for ten minutes" or anything. Think about what you want or what all you have to do for a few minutes. After that just relax, and try not to think about this girl. You need "YOU time" or just time to think.
* Next question, do you have a planner or assignment book so you can write down when you have what? If not, you should get one and it could help you not feel as overwhelmed.
* Now on to this girl. Don't get offended by any of this I'm just writing down my thoughts on what you said in the question. For a long time I liked this guy and I was exactly like you, I was all over the place! I was obsessed with everything about him... or so I thought. After a really long time, I realized I didn't even KNOW him that well!! I mean we weren't best friends, we didn't talk that much, etc. I'm not saying you don't know what love is but do you really know everything about her and not just what it looks like on the surface? Oh and how do you know she doesn't like you back? Did she say it flat out " I dont like you like that"?? If not, then you never know. But if so, then you might want to try and move on especially if she's making your life so complicated. Before you get way in over your head, consider this. Do you really KNOW her? Or do you just like the idea of being in love with someone? I know you can't just snap your fingers and be over someone, believe me I know, but it does take time. Last thing, if you feel you really really know her and you really do love her, take a chance! It's better than wasting all your time day-dreaming about it and losing sleep!
Hope I helped and if you have any details you want to add or any other questions, just drop it into my inbox.

-P.S. I have read that Flowers of Algernon story and I know what you mean.
***Edit-Some people just get scared when you tell them they like you. Why don't you just try and go back to being best friends? Say more than just "Hi" start a conversation. It's better than nothing right? And after you are back to that you never know where that might lead....

Ok to answer your questions: Yes, I have a planner, but it's considered defacing school property to write anything in it besides homework. No, I don't give a damn about hot, cute, sexy, etc. Yes, we're best friends. And yes, I told her I liked her and she said she doesn't like me in that way.
