Q: so people are pretty mean arent they.ive realized that anywhere you go people are gunna be rude even over the summer and breaks.ive been mean to you laney and now i realize that isnt right.im sorry for everything and i think people who have been mean to other people should get off on a good foot the next years. so im sorry. everyone talks about people sure but they shouldnt. maybe our school should try harder to stop. like i said im sorry for everything and i just want to have a good next year. hope you forgive me and everyone that reads this should try and be a little nicer and try and make your enimies your friends even though that is hard. but hey thats what im tryin to do so yeah everyone should try. im sorry laney again i am. hope you forgive me and even if people dont say sorry or apologise for being rude and mean its better if you just think that they are and they really should be.people we are growing up. we are going to be sophmores next year.lets act that way and be mature and not little middle schoolers and talk and start shit.i realize we all do it because even i do it.but im sorry for that. but at least i try and be a bigger person and say sorry. but i am. laney/for everything ive said and done in the past and for everything ive said behind your back. it was out of hatered and rudeness. so sorry i truely am.everyone needs to concider this.and concider having a better,carefree,dramafree next year if thats possiable.! sorry and thik about this.
thanks.
wow.. i dont think i could have said it better myself..

let me just say this tho..
we're sophomores, right? which means we only have 3 more years together. after those three years, you may never see some of these people again.. so why would you want to spend the next 3 years hating each other? i guess thats just the way i see it.

thanks for that erin.. love you & believe be.. the past is the past.

Q: Hey, I dated this girl for a few months and broke up with her because I just didn't feel the same way. I told her we'd def. remain good friends but it doesn't seem like she wants that. I mean at first she took it well but then broke down and got all pissed and started doing a lot of things that would lead people to infer that I was a bad boyfriend and only cared about the sexual part of the relationship (def. not true.. since I wanted to make sure of everything before I got into that.. and since I wasn't sure it's a good thing I did that) and long story short -- it's been like 2 or 3 months and she still likes me, still talks about me with other people (makes our business theirs) and just pisses me off. She's not saying anything bad about me but definetly leading them to infer plenty of bad stuff. I've kind of broken off the whole 'friend' thing mainly cause she gets pissed at me for dumb stuff like not saying hi when she sees me but I don't see her... but she sees me... so why doesn't she say hi right? Hypocritical. So what should I do? F.Y.I. A direct approach always leads to arguements and I'm too lazy for those. This is the first time I've ever talked about her with anyone else unless it was her friends so as I would not be just like her... But now I am.

Peace.
The thing about when she sees you and you don't say hi.. is this.. She still likes you, so she doesn't want to seem desperate.. if you say hi.. its not that SHE said hi just that she said hi BACK.. so she doesn't want to say hi.. its like a superority thing... she probably feels like shes not good enough to say hey to you because she is the one that likes you! ..

All i can say to do is TRY to be friends with her... forget about all the stuff she says.. & eventually she'll get over it.. and stop saying stuff.. yeah i wouldn't talk to her in this situatuion, she'll just get mad! Also, try talking to one of her friends about it... maybe not somewhere were other people can hear.. be smart about it if you do!!! Hope i helped!

Q: laney... you have changed alot over the past week or so you arent being as mean or fake or annoying ... please dont change back to that weird person you were for a while. i like how you are now !!!!.. Notice who you are friends with, really look at the people you are around alot, some times the people you hated for a while and you thought didnt like you for a while are the people who cared alot about you during that "stage" of your life...mkay??? i really do love you!! i hope everyting goes ok in lubock...
thank you so much! i've become friends with new people that love me with all their hearts!! thank you for changing me thats all i can say to them! haha but i love them so much and i know they'll always be there for me...they are wonderful girls with wonderful souls...they are my TRUE best friends.

LOVE LOVE!

Q: okay so i have this friend who i've had for like a couple years now and she's really cool...but sometimes we are really diff. like when it comes to values and stuff. i don't know if you have any morals (according to some of the stuff i've heard) but i know that u can't believe everything that u hear that is why i'm not judging you like everyone else in this thing. But i know that i'm not gonna find someone just like me and have the same veiws but i have certain morals and she just kinda does what other people do. and i know u are gonna say talk to her about it but i don't know what to say ya know??
i do have morals, more than ppl give me credit for. well a lot more than ppl give me credit for. i'm a really really good girl. seriously, compared to everyone else. not to brag, but thats not braggin...sometimes being a "good girl" isn't the best thing. like in ur sistuatuion! im sure your frined just feels like she HAS to do what other ppl do...i mean i know you don't want to hear this..but uh...you HAVE to talk to her. i mean is she dangering her life? if she is, then thats terrible..she needs her BEST FRIEND to stand beside her. she may not thank you now but in the end...she is thank you soo much!!!!

Q: Hey...so there's this guy who is honestly like MY BEST FRIEND, and we just had a talk tonight about how we will always be there for each other and how we both really want to stay this close of friends...one problem....

I'M ABSOLUTLY IN LOVE WITH HIM!!! but I just can't tell him. Maybe fear of losing our friendship. But wow...WHAT WOULD YOU DOOOO! Be honest hun...I don't want none of the "tell him how you feel cuz u never know" stuff. lol. I actually did know who you were when I lived there but OKAY good luck w/ everything...BYE BABE!!!

..i would like your opinion!!! =]
well you don't want this...but..."tell him how you feel because you never know" thats truely my opinion!!! if i was in the sistuation...thats the excate thing i would do!!!! much love..*lane!* and you knew me when you lived here? .. hmm i/m me!!!!! LOVE YOU!

Q: hey laney... how do u deal with rumors that u know are NOT true?
This is what i do...I dont worry about them. If i know in my heart that they aren't true, then the closest friends that you have will know too. I have tons of realllllly close guy firneds and like 3 or 4 gooood girl friends and one BEST FRIEND and thats enough for me. THey are the ones that know the truth about me and wouldn't ever believe stupid rumors like the ones that are said about me. All you can do is just know that the people that u trust don't think that they are true, and just blow everyone else off. Becuase even if you say you didnt do it peopole will STILL say you did. Its just how girls are. They're MEANNN! haha! dont worry about it seriously! Much Love, *lane!*

Q: what school do u go to?
FLower Mound High School!

Q: ok well i used to know this super cool girl. WE were like best friends for like 2 years. Then pver the summer we got in a huge fight because she was talking about me badly. Then when school started i decided to become friends with her agina b.c we would be in the same classes. She seemed totally weird and would tell me i was jealous of her b.c she was "popular"(what ever) any way she seems nicer and i kinda want to be her friend again but i dont know what to do?

"Popular Friend"
I'd talk to her. PEOPLE THE BEST WAY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IS TO TALK ABOUT IT! Dont hold it inside you because that just creates anger towards the person. If there is a problem, ask them, talk to them. See what they think! If she is still telling you shes too "popular" for you, shes NOT worth it. Forget it. But a 2 year friendship with one HUGE fight...is good for girls at our age. Don't let one thing ruin it. basically, Talk To HEr!!! Much Love, *lane!*

Q: I need help. I have two really good friends. One of them is my best friend, and the other friend didnt really become my friend until last year. We actually hated each other until last year and became good friends. Anyway my best friend was telling me that the other friend was talking bad about me. She said not to ask her about it because then she would get in trouble for telling me. She was telling me for my own good, buts its hard to believe that the other friend would say that stuff about me. I'm not even upset or anything, I just wish people would tell these things to my face. I can't ask her about it thought without getting my best friend in trouble. Sometimes I even think she is making this up just to make me not want to hang out wiht the other friend. I want to believe her, but i want to believe the other friend is better than this. Please help me Laney!!
*confused
Whether or not its going to get ur other friend in trouble, you need to talk to the other girl about it. If you can't talk to her, with out her lying to ur face, shes not the right person to be hanging out with. In my opinion, you should alwasy trust your best friend. Figure out which one has been there for you the longest and you trust more. However; your best friend could only be saying this stuff to you because she is jealous of you and your other friend. Talk to them both about it at seperate time, then together. Thats the only real way to solve problems! Much Love, *lane!*

Q: Hey! im really shy and all of the people i hang out with aren't so its really hard for me to meet new people what should i do?
Tired of being shy
All you can do is just open up. Believe in yourself. Also, talk to your friends. If they're trustworthy than they'll figure something out! And...never forget that your mom knows the most about you. Like my momma, shes my best friend! Much Love, *lane!*

Q: so i used to have this person that was one of my best friends... this year we started high school and everything changed. she started hanging out with a new 'best friend' and acting completely different. all of the people i began to hang out talked crap about the person. what do i say about that?? do i tell the friend that they're makin a mistake even if they dont want to believe me?
Thats their own mistake and you should let them figure it out for themselves. It might take them a while but they'll soon figure it out. I did that this year to my best friend Lauren Kennewell but everything good know bc i realized that i really did love and trust her. You should just let her figure it out on her own! Much Love, *lane!*
