I am a father of three, girl, boy, girl, all are now over 18. I have been married for 29 years as of 6-30-07, so yes, if you do the math I was married at 18, just after graduating high school. I am very aware of the pit falls of doing so, but we made it through the really tough times. I came to this site, because of my daughter, she also uses the site.

I am an author and have written three books, only one under this name, but it is not how I make my living. I am in business, working full time and I have a seasonal business in ponds, selling Koi, goldfish, water plants and supplies. I help people to plan and build ponds, as well as, maintenance if they need it.

I am not here for the ratings and could careless what you rate me. I will tell you things I know, I will tell you what you don't want to hear, but most of all, I will tell you things from my perspective. I have experienced a lot in my life, I have not lived with my head in the sand and I'm a realist, you want someone to blow smoke up your as*, don't read my writings, (I don't do fairy tales).

I am not so foolish as to think I am always right, I can only tell you what I know and give you something to think about. It is up to you to find out if I'm right or not.

Life is complicated, because people are complicated and one answer does not necessarily fit all, but that doesn't mean you should not consider what I say as a possibility.

Feel free to write me personally if you wish, there is only so much you can say in such a restrictive environment as this site is, it doesn't allow for proper conversation.

Thank you for coming to my column and giving me the chance to help.

Basically I have a huge group of friends - about 15 of us. And last year some of them began to bitch about me, and then just because one didn't like me - none of them did and they just bumlick of eachother and suck up to eachother and we are bloody sixteen. Well this year we all forgot about it and now it went really well. The only reason why some didn't like me was of my personality but they went around saying all this horrible stuff making out a crime that im kind to others or i'm clever etc etc. Now its my friends birthday and they are asking her to uninvite me which i think is really rude as

1 - I know she likes me
2 - she's a bumlicker and will give into them
3 - they all asked me to go
4 - when they say they dont like someone they say it straight up but why not with me?

and it really annoys because if one of them is feelig sick its " oh so and so what can i do to help" but if its me its " oh leave that fool she's attention seeking" which is SO RUDE and it makes me so angry.

I cant confront them because i will be killed and if i lose them, i basically have noone [ apart from one who is jsut the best friend who lvoes me to bits]. We are all friends but they are totally bitchy and two faced

What the hell do i do? One minute they like me, next they dont and ive never caused ANY HARM to them.?? (link)
Gee, two questions in one day that the writer won't like my answer, I am so blessed. It is time for you to find new friends. Chances are they do this to other people and you either follow along with it, or don't notice that they are doing this. When it is directed at you, then you notice and find out how it is to live on the other side of this kind of behavior.

Leave the group quietly and actively search for new friends, you may actually be surprised by some that follow you away from the group. Growing up and away from those who don't want to is not wrong, don't let these "people" hold you back from who you want to become.

Nice people are a good target for those who are not so nice. They are trying to "keep you in your place" little puppy. Pack mentality is a strange thing, do some research on it if you really want to know about it.
