theres this kid in my class that constantly gets picked on. i feel so bad for him.. I mean I thought at first he had autism, but my friend said he was just real stupid. Even though he made fun of me once.. really stupidly. then my friend shut him down. but i cant be mean to him! i just think its wrong.. cuz hes a person too. but like nobody else seems to care but me. i mean.. these are the people who do the high school shootings! i dont want to be his friend.. but like.. I dunno. I dont like seeing people get made fun of like that.. I dont even know if he takes it personally.. cause hes really weird... but....... AHH! why am i so nice? (link)
Well first of all there is nothing wrong with caring about someone else. You caring could make all the diffence in the world to someone like that. Maybe tell your teacher that he's being mistreated and ask if maybe she could move him up by her so that she can see what's ging on. Maybe even just be nice to him even if you don't want to be his friend it could make his day. you never know you may be the only one that's nice to hi all day but that would be better than everyone being mean to him. Hope this helps. Be blessed and keep being a good person.



theres this kid in my class that like sits across from me on a diff table (our tables face forward, and its two people per table) and like everyday if i glance at him or something, or he notices im there, he like grins at me or comes up to me and sings like a funny song, dances, or something. He's friendly and stuff, but what do I do back? All I do is smile.. or do I like bring up a conversation? ahh how do I do that without sounding like.. eager or just bad? lol Or sometimes he just stares at me for a long time smiling and im like "what?" and then he keeps staring... anything funny or witty or whatever that I should do back? Im not gonna stare at him back cuz that would look retarded. or is he making fun of me? i doubt it, though. also, im not attracted him in a lovey way. nothing against him.. but i just dont, XD. i'd rather be his friend, and i think its the same for him.

It sounds like you just need to start up a simple conversation with him. Ask him what music he likes, movies, ect. See if you have anything in common. If so maybe suggest hanging out with him as friends to do something you both like. It's good to have friends. maybe he's just being a little goofy cause he's nervous and it makes him feel better than actually saying something. He could be shy. So try opening up a simple conversation with him. Then who knows maybe you could be great friends. Hope this helps. Be blessed.


I always feel anxious around people. I have no idea why! like people I'm uncomfortable around, feel inferior to, etc. I know everyone is equal but that doesnt help. sometimes it even affects my schoolwork because im focusing so much on it i start to tremble a little... and yeah. what do i do? im usually not this way. like i always end up getting friends like a little less popular than me, and i can be myself around these people. its a little harder around like really outgoing more popular people for some reason.. cuz i kinda feel outta place when i'm pretty outgoing too. (like im shy at first, till you get to know me.) also what are some ways i can get better friends and keep peoples interest in me? i seem to get attention but then later i guess some people get bored with me? :/ sometimes i seem all strict and junk.. and im always like one of the few people who asked questions in class. before, i thought i was retarded and everyone else understood, when someone told me otherwise. whatever, its their problem.. but im not like nerdish or anything. im just me! i like sports like alot, going to movies, having fun, READING (why do so many kids dislike it?), etc. (link)
Don't be discouraged. It just sounds to me like you are having some self esteem issues. Don't be afraid though. Try doing somethings for yourself that will make you feel good about yourself. Like getting some new clothes, make-up, books ect. something to make you feel good and beautiful. Don't ever let anyone change you. be proud of who you are. Maybe even try exercises like encouraging yourself in the mirror. "I am beautiful" I am loved" ect. You know what you need to hear. Don't feel weird about it it's not like anyone will be watching. As for making good friends. Good friends will stick by you no matter what, and won't try to change who you are just remember that. Try takling to the people who look like they don't have a lot of friends those people usually are the most faithful friends and may need you as badly as you need them. They will be there for you when it counts. Well hope this helps. Be blessed.


One of my friends has decided that she wants to run away. She's tired of living with her abusive step dad. She's asked for me to help her go somewhere where nobody will find her, like out of state. We're both only 14... I don't know anything about what to do. She doesn't want me to tell anyone else. What should I say to her? I'm so scared for her! What on earth should I do? (link)
I argree with a lot of these people. I think that running away could put her in an even worse situation or one that causes roblems of there own. I think that you sold tell your parents. they would know how to get her some help. contact the School an dget her somewhere that she will be safe maybe even see if she can stay with you a lot so she not in harms way until the situation is reslved. She told you so now it's up to you to keep your friend safe. She may get angry at first but trust me. Think about it would you rather her be mad for awhile or not say anything and maybe have something really bad happen to her. whether it's beating or sexual abuse she needs help. Tell your parents. Don't wait do it as soon as possible, so your friend can be safe.
