My favourite quote is 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'.
Life really is a roller-coaster with it's ups and downs and varying speeds. Yet no matter how hard you try to stay on an even keel, something always comes along to kick you in the teeth and remind you just how fragile life is. We are all trying to live the best we know how and to get along together. So take time to appreciate those around you and tell them how much you love them occasionally. A smile and a kind word speaks volumes.

i'm confused. i'm thirteen years old, and i have no idea what i'm doing.
I changed schools about a month ago, to a slightly smaller school. and was put into a class with mostly boys, and a few girls. I guess it's not your average school, it's filled with kids who've done some bad things. Involving drugs, or truancy. I guess that's not the point, but for background.
the boys are pretty graphic and innapropriate. One would walk by me and say "sexy" constantly and left a weird note in my desk, and one would compliment me on my shirt when it was tight. And one of them was really nice to me, being pretty protective of me if i lent someone somthing and they didn't give it back straight away. He was really nice to me, all in all. He threw away my garbage when he saw i hadn't yet, and helped me figure something out on a word search that i didn't know.
He's one year older than me, and i have no idea why he's at this school. A lot of people would bring it up that this boy liked me, and i guess i believed it, because i thought so myself. well, i got to liking him too.
it's continued on pretty much the same, but on friday, this girl Janet who's also in my class said to me, "You know, Charlie* was going to ask you out the first week you came here."
and i asked why he didn't.
"Because he thought you'd dis him, and since you two live in different towns, he wasn't sure it'd work out."
i don't know if he really said that, and i don't know how i feel about how he backed out of asking me so quickly. He still acts overly-nice with me, but i don't know where it's going to go. i can't understand if he likes me, and i can't understand why he isn't doing anything, or saying anything to me, directly.
any comments? i'm not so much asking for advice as much as a perspective, but advice is always something i'd take. Thanks.

If he is only a year older than you, he will only be 14 himself. That is still quite young for some lads and maybe he is not very confident when it comes to dating. He may well have never dated before and doesn't know how to pluck up the courage to ask you out. Saying he thought you'd "dis" him and you live in different towns may well have been an excuse because he felt uncomfortable. He obviously still likes you, and if you have the courage, why not ask him to go for a coffee or coke as a thank you to him for being so nice to you. If that seems a bit too forward for the moment, why not give him a bar of chocolate or something similar and say it's a thank you for all his help.
I hope that all goes well with you. Good luck.
