Friendly friends and helpful helpers.
Please do not be scared by the account name.
We needed to come up with something that sounded both cheerful as well as respectful to GOD. Dammit.
Collectively, we pour 58 hard, brutal, pulsing, soul-sucking years of experience into this column. 58 years! Are you that old? If you are, what the hell are you doing here?
Now shut up and listen to your elders. We won't do you wrong, son. Just settle down. Put down the pills. If only Heath Ledger had listened to us. But noooo. Did he have 58 YEARS OF COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE? No! He was 30 years short, and then, bang. And we don't mean the fun banging he did on Brokeback Mountain. We're amazed that some of you people know how to get out of bed in the morning and brush your hair. If you had 58 YEARS OF COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE, you wouldn't have any fucking hair. Just brains. Lots and lots of brains.
Lots.
Now feed us.

Well..I'm 17 and my parents still won't let me date and there's this guy I want to go out with..He likes me back but he works all the time and I only see him on sundays. That's not the issue though. How do I get my parents to understand that I'm old enough and should be allowed to date already? Or get around it without getting grounded? My parents are strict.. (link)

There is a way to get past this form of child abuse:
http://www.jlc.org/index.php/factsheets/emancipationus
Child abuse is always defended by people who say things like, "They're only doing it for your own good." But these same things are said about parents who hit their kids with golf clubs and lock them in basements - by people who think those things are OK (and yeah, there are some of those..). The only question to ask is: is what you are doing hurting anyone?
The only answer is: your parents suck.
Defend them, and you're just denying yourself. Wait it out if you must, but don't think that what you're doing is wrong.
Or else your dating life is OVER. Forever.

So my boyfriend and I like to hang out at school in the morning during the zero hour. And seriously, we just talk. Occasionally I'll hug him, but there's honestly minimal kissing. It's just kinda how it is.
Anyway, most of the time around friends we just hug each other, and before class it's like, 'goodbye, *kiss*' and then we're done. It's not like it's anything all that bad that you don't see around schools anyway.
So the issue is, one of my friend's been giving me a hard time about it. Like, this girl was talking about how she hates when couples get all into it in public, and my friend was all, 'kinda like you guys!' And I told her that it wasn't how it is, and she said 'oh please, you guys are always all over each other.'
We're really not. Honestly, I'm not into the whole PDA thing, hugs are mostly all I'm comfortable with at school.
So...how can I talk to my friend about this? Obviously she thinks it's something bad, because she told me, 'people always say, oh, I saw her with her boyfriend'. Well, yeah, we talk. That's mostly it.
And should I talk to him too? Maybe say something about nothing other than hugging at school?
I dunno, this is bothering me. I always said I'd never get into the whole PDA thing and it looks like I have, even though I'm serious, it's not as bad as she makes it sound.
Help? (link)

Strictly from an interpersonal, behavioral and psychological perspective, your female friend most likely has some repressed homosexual tendencies.
And has the hots for you.
This is more common than you might think. There is a reason for her comments, and that reason cannot be found in the realm of logic. It cannot be found in even in the area of superstition. She consciously believes that she witnesses something that simply isn't there, i.e., the PDA that you insist does not exist.
This is because, subconsciously...she wants you.
This is normal abnormal activity for someone who isn't ready to accept that her friends have something that they themselves do not. You have 2 choices and ONLY TWO CHOICES.
The first is to dump your "friend". She will do more harm than good at this point.
The second is to dump your "hugs-only" boyfriend. This could be deadly.
The third choice...does not exist.
Choose wisely, dear friend. For if you choose the wrong path, unspeakable horrors await for you in the near future. We know...because we did it, too.
