Q: School's coming up within the next week and I do not want to see anyone. I feel like I've gotten more bitter over the summer...like all the joy and excitement of seeing my old friends have flushed away. All summer long, those myspace comments, "We miss you so much Claire!"..., "We have to hang out!" What about those yearbook signings? "Claire, we are SOOO hanging out this summer!" Guess what. Not one phone call. Nothing. NO INVITES. I feel betrayed and so out of the circle. I see pictures of them hanging out and laughing on myspace/facebook. It's like they're rubbing it in that I'm not with them or something. Is it wrong of me to feel bitter towards each and every one of them? I didn't see any of my "friends" this summer...Oh except, I did run into two of them at the grocery store once. I've been lonely all summer..and when school starts again, I'm going to see them, and my hurt will show. How can I react to them when I see them. All those fake "Awww, Claire, we missed you SO much!!" Well, if you missed me that much, why didn't you ever ask me to hang out with everyone throughout the summer? Any words of advice?

All i can say is that friendships go both ways. As much as they should call you...y not invite them, or call them and say where have you been? When you get back to school just say how next summer it should be different. Best of luck.

Q: Well there's this guy who I met in the beginning of the year. Okay, well I met this guy in one of my classes. We were in the same group [we had to sit in groups of four] and we always talked. He would give me hugs in the hallways, he would wave to me, and he would be..well..you know, a friend. I developed a little crush on him. On Halloween, my friend and I went to his house and had a good times. But, he was really quite. He was usually loud and talkative. After the semester ended the teacher moved us seats. So now, I didn't sit next to him. We would see each other in the hallways and he would just wave and I would wave back. Two weeks after we moved seats he stopped talking to me. He would always stare at me when I walked passed him. Well, two of his best friends were in my first period. And they would always talk about him. As I kept hearing stuff about him, I stopped liking him. And every morning they would say weird stuff about him. And by then I wished I have never met him. But then towards the end of the school year I realized that he starting looking dirtier, like he hasn't taken a shower in days. He has changed a lot. I overheard his friends talking about him and all his friends doing drugs. And as soon as I heard that, I just really didn't want anything to do with him. Not only because he does drugs, but he also told me and my friend that he would never do that and he would never hang out with people who did that. So, he lied to us. I was so mad, I really didn't care what happens to him. I didn't want to hear from him at all. Well, my friend still talks to him. And I can't help it..I still like him. And I want him to stop doing we he does. But I don't know how to tell him. I haven't talked to him since the second quarter. And if I do talk to him about it, he might think that it is none of my business and he would start asking me where I heard all this stuff. I really do want him to stop. Not because I have a little crush on him. But, deep deep inside I care about him and I do want him to be healthy. What should I do? I am so confused. Arg. Help me.

It def is not smart to get involved with him, but we cant always help who we like. Start some conversations with him on how he looks different, and then it all comes down to confronting him. Its important that you remind him you want him to stop because you care. He might get defensive but dont give up. If no one else will step up you need to be the positive influence that will keep him going even though what he's doing is wrong.

Its sad sometimes how friends grow apart from each other, but friends are supposed to be there to help calm you down; not get you stressed! If your losing contact already and it doesnt seem like she, or you, are making the effort to keep the friendship going then I would just leave it be. If she misses your friendship then she will let you know. Best of luck =]
