so im 18/f
i have friends, but its that i commute to college, and i only talk to like two of my friends from high school.
i've been talking to this girl, emily. she use to go out with my cousin. she is in 9th grade though, in high schoool. i'm a freshman collge. the thing is, she gets me. she is the only one who understands whats going on in my life, because she is going through something similar too. i just feel weird hanging out with her though. i dont want people to be like wow she is hanging out with a freshman from high school, you know? but i love the girl, she is like becoming one of my close friends! like i said, i can trust her and i know she wont judge me. thats hard to find. but in my mind, i always feel like people think i dont have friends and i'm a loser for hanging out with a freshman. and i mean i really want to hang out with her, she is a nice girl and so what am i to say? oh i cant hang out with you because your like four years younger than me? NO! i want to hang out with her, but i feel stupid at the same time.
any thoughts, suggestions, comments, ANYTHING!? (link)

My best friend is 3 years younger than me. Im a sophmore in college and shes a junior in high school. For about the first two years of us being friends, i felt the same way. I finally realized that it doesnt matter. If other ppl think its weird, then sucks for them. A friendship like that is hard to find, and its not something you should give up just because of what other people will think. If i didnt continue to be friends with my friend, 16 and im 19, then id be miserable. Age really is just a number.

This is more of a rant than a question but whatever, I need your opinions anyway.
Do any of you ever get tired of being the "always-there friend"? I don't mean clingy. Like, you're always there for your friends-- whenever they have a problem, need someone to talk to, to hang out with, whatever, you're always there for them. And I'm fine with that. But whenever I make a really good friend, they find a better one, more fun, more something, whatever, and hang out with them, until the new best friend either makes a new best friend themself or can't make plans on a weekend, THEN I'm called. Usually they get tired of the new friend in a few months, maybe a little longer, and come back to me, realizing eventually that I'm a better friend. But its still hard, you know? Like, am I second-rate or something?
I guess its kind of a compliment because I'm like family to them, I'll always be there, and they can say anything or do anything (well, mostly, lol, I'm thinking brother-sister fights) and I'll still love them. But still... I'm a human too, I'm not just here for your convenience.
This happens / happened with ALL my close friends. All of them.
Anyone else want to rant with me about how this happens to them... or if anyone wants to give me some advice on how to regain my status as first-rate human I'd appreciate it. :] (link)

story of my life. yes its horrible i dont get it at all. how do we of all people get put second, what makes us the ones? i dont know but it drives me insane and ive lost friends over it, it just happens over and over. good luck with your friends, sometimes if they cant realize they're doing it then its time to move on.

How do you get a friend to open up to you?
Ive told her im always here for her if she needs someone to talk to and stuff but i just cant get her to break down to me.
Any suggestions? (link)

coming from a person who cant open up, make her. i always want to but i need that extra push to actually do it. it might not be the right thing for your friend but i know it is for me. hope that helps

okay, for about a month or two now, i've lost alot of weight for some reason. i don't know why, because i've been eating way more than normal. also, i've been more tired than i am usually & i get tired easier when i'm exercising or something like that. i've had head aches alot of & on the past month too. & for about two weeks, i've been getting these random bruises on my arms & legs, but mainly just my arms. i haven't even done anything to cause them, so i don't have a clue what the heck they're from. any idea what this could be? (link)

it could possibly be diabetes, bc you said you are eating a lot more and still losing weight. i dont really know that much about diabetes, but it sounds possible? good luck
