Q: first let me give you some background information..

i have this friend (lets call him..steve). we were really good friends last year. we were going out for like 2 days but thats a whole other story. he was almost like a brother to me and we were really close. i still like him sorta but hes being really mean to me and my friend (lets call her..suzie). since we hadnt seen steve all summer me and suzie went to 3 of his football practices so we could talk to him. well that didnt work out cuz he never even glanced at us when we yelled his name (this was after practice was over). we decided to give up after the third practice. then we saw him at the street fair and were kinda following him for a little to see if he noticed we were there and we thought he would come talk to us. nope. so a couple weeks later he gets online. heres the convorsation..

ME-hey
Steve-hey
me-did you see me and suzie at your football practices?
steve-oh yeah
me-why didnt you come talk to us?
steve-i didnt want to
me-oh thanks
me-anyway..are you in the gifted classes this year?
him- i dont know
me-how can you not know?
him-i dont really care
him-i dont know how to say this but cant you and suzie leave me alone?
steve signs off

i was so sad when that happened i didnt know what to do. i told suzie the story and she was like "what a deusch bag!" we thought well what if he means leave him alone forever?? like hes too good for us now that hes on the football team. im hoping thats not what he meant. school starts tomorrow and me and suzie decided to give him some space for a few days. im really sad about the whole situation cuz i still like him and last year we were really close and i could trust him with stuff. im thinking maybe its time to move on..i mean not like him like him anymore. but now im thinking hes not a very good friend anymore. looking back, we prolly couldve given him more space then we did last year. im not really sure what to think of the whole situation.

what do you guys think? what should me and suzie do??
well i dont think there is alot you can do i would wait a few months and then send him an enail saying well i have left you alone now can you please tell me why it isnt fair that you do this to me we were such good friends what happened please explain it.if you cant wait a month atlest wait 2 weeks you need to give him time to see what he has done maybe he will come crawling back.you and susie just go live your lives dont wait for him if he wnats to com back he will.soon you wll meet another guy a nicer guy one that wont ditch you right away .i know you probably donbt want hear that so i wont but i am sure it will work out ok just give it time ok?

Q: hi :) 14/f. sorry if its long, but please helpp! okay so i have two best friends, one is a guy and one is a girl. lets call him peter and her jessica. ive been friends with peter since i was like 3 and ive gone to school with him all middle school. this year were going to different highschools because he is going to an all boys school.. but we still see eachother alot. jessica is someone i met at camp like 3 years ago and we live about 20 minutes away. but we hang out so much, you would never guess that we live that far. anyway, one day they both came over and met and they started liking eachother. they hung out a few times with me there (like 6 times in two months) and then he finally asked her out. she realllllly likes him and stuff and he reallly liked her. but now, they dont see eachother a lot and he isnt sure how its going to work with them living so far away. he called me and told me that he wanted to break up with her because his feelings for her werent that strong anymore. but then he asked me not to tell her. but i feel that i should because she is my best friend and i know she is gonna be hurt. if i tell her, then i will lie to peter cuz i told him i didnt. but if she finds out that i knew before he did it, then she will be like mad. i know i would if she didnt tell me. can anyone help me please? im like torn and i really dont know what to do!! :(
well maybe you could ask her what she thinks of the relationship and how long it will last if she ask why belike well i dont know it seems like you guys are drifting.just sort of hint stuff to her bit by bit but really you cant betray his trust either you guys have been friends to long for that.soon enough he will tell her him self then she will ask if you knew and you will have to say ya but if she gets mad just give her time.Like i always say healing takes time it took me 6 months to forgive a friend once but i highly doubt it will take that long.just get ready because ya she wil be mad at you but you need to keep the secret.for all your sakes.

Q: My friend claire and i have been best friends with susan all through 6th & 7th grade, then she moved in the middle of 7th grade and we wrote letters back & forth to each other. but suddenly about 6 monthes ago she stopped writing to us. we were wondering why so cliare went to susans hosue with anotehr friends and we found out she is on weed. cliare doesn't want to do anything about it but i feel like i should do soemthing. susan is VERY poor and doesnt have alot of money. idk what to do, should i call the police? what would happen? and would i have to get involved? PLEASE HELP
yes i think you should get involve she is your friend go over there talk to her first talk to her mom or a relative if they are the type not t care and she is pushing you away then you will have to tell someone.Maybe not the police though maybe your school counsler?or even your mom because i know that you care and this is gonna afecct her dont expect her to listen to you or be grateful she will be neither.But with your support she can get through it dont stop writing letters even when she doesnt replie she will see them atleast a know you care if she says she rips them up dont listen because she will read one one time.It will be hard for you aswell so lean on some one for support dont listen to your other friend you need to help her if you believe in god pray i will pray for you both aswell the power of prayer is huge even if you dont believe it still provides hope ok well make sure to tell me how it goes email me at mizztalk_alot@hotmail.com ask me a question if you like aswell

Q: okay well im the girl with the friend that took my clothes. and last night i was awake at like 2:00 in the morning and i couldnt stop thinking about it so i got on myspace and first of sent her a message that said..

one of my good friends told me that you had one of my brown tanktops and was wearing it. and possibly my jeans that were missing. i just want to know if you have my tank tops and my jeans and if you do i would like them back please. not to go off randomly on all of this but that just what i heard and my clothes were missing sooo yeahhh. im not gonna get mad if you have them but i just want them back because thats a lot to be missing.

and then i was like well thank you.
and i will talk to you later or something


and she got on today and so did i and she read my message but didnt send anything back and now i feel super retarded because shes probably gonna go tell her little stupid boyfriend about it and all her other friends and they're gonna be like wtf? and mad at me. i know i should of done it in person but i was so mad that i had to do something about it last night otherwise i couldnt go to bed. now i dont know if she is mad at me or what? so it would be weird to call her now and stuff..
no way call her its really your only choice tell her what you just told me except stupid lil bf lol tell her this is your guys problem no one elses if she does talk to her other friends thats her fault not yours but you HAVE to work this out otherwise it will just get worse call her no more myspace ok?tell me how it goes

Q: my best friend in the entire world isnt speaking to me!! i dont even know what i did wrong, and she just wont tell me. whenever i approach her she just turns around. any ideas how i can find out whats wrong?
well you could send her emials or you could ask your friends she is probably really hurt so becareful wat you say just in case she thinks you are talking behind her back also healing takes time maybe soon enough she will be ready to take your peace offerings.so never stop trying

Q: 16/f

lately or recently i have lost like 3 tank tops and expensive pair of jeans. i thought that my friend mandi took them because like i was at her cabin with her and i brought them up there and when i come home there not in my bag? well i was soo PISSED OFF. she said her aunt found some in the bathroom and was gonna bring them to her house but she said she came and her mom wouldnt let her in because she didnt know who she was (mandi's parents are divorced) and i knew that was a bunch of BS. and i felt bad because my family isnt the richest and clothes are that CHEAP these days so i couldnt go buy myself a new wardrobe and replace the clothes i lost. well mine and mandi's friend lisa were all together one night and lisa is like mandi those are my pants you are wearing! and mandi is like lisa no there not my dad bought them for me and shes like not uh i remember i had them in our locker when we were sharing them and you brought them home and lisa is like if they are size 7 they are mine so she checks and they are 7's! and mandi still denies it but hollister doesnt make those pants anymore they're an old brand and she said her dad just bought them for her when she told me that her friend jackie gave them to her and amanda wears like a 3/4 not a 7! and then i was like woww she probably has my clothes too! and i was like lisa did you see her wearing a brown aero tank top with a little tan butterfly in the corner? and shes like yep shes worn that around me before! I KNOW SHE HAS MY CLOTHES. i asked her about it though and shes like nooo i dont have them sorry. and i cant go to her house because its an appt. and she never lets anyone in her house trust me ive tried! and i dont want to go snooping around her room. im soo f'in mad though! one of them were a new tank top i just bought too. me and lisa cant trust her around our stuff anymore! and this year she wants to share a locker and i was like ookay. but that was before i knew all this stuff! last year we shared one and she like took all my pencils without asking then i didnt have any! i just dont know what to do anymore..now i dont really want to share a locker but im really bad at like saying no and im scared she will share one with lisa then and i wont see mandi anymore! and shes like the only one i see at school..or hangout with in the morning.
ok well obvoisly this girl is not a true friend i think you should tell her that when you confront herou should also tell her that you need your clothes back and you are sorry she did this to you tell her please dont denie this it will only make things worse ask her wat motivated her to steal your clothes she may have a logical reason and then you guys can work on rebuilding your friendsip if you choose to dont let her make you feel guilty for this you know you are right tell me how it goes

Q: My oldest and best friend is moving to Ethiopia later this week. His parents had a leaving party tonight and as I am going away tomorrow it was the last time I will see him for the forseeable future.

At the party my other best friend (female) got upset and her younger sister accused the friend moving away's dad of feeling her up. My female friend's older sister then said that he had also felt her up. The man they accused is also their dad's best friend, and they were in hysterics. I heard them telling their dad and then the whole family went home.

Both my best friends were involved, so obviously I was very upset by this situation. The friend moving away is convinced that it was all just a big misunderstanding but I have no idea what to believe. I was already upset from having to say goodbye to him, and I don't know what to do.

One best friend is accusing my other best friend's dad of sexually abusing her siblings. I'm trying to stay out of it because it's none of my business, but it's not as simple as that.

What am I supposed to do?
for the most part you should stay outof this but be there for emotional support your ethiopia best friend is gonna need to work this all out in his head and decide if he believes it and dont say anything just be there for him.your other friend will probably side with her sisters and you will need to be there for her too.it is gonna be really hard for you but you will get through it hope i helped

you can email me anytime seriously
tell me how it goes and how you aare doing

Q: Ok one of my friends kathy she is 18. Well she met this boy named joe that is so to say 22. Everybody thinks he looks older than 22 and looks like a child millester and al this. There is not one person that i know of that likes him. Well kathy has been driving his car and she aint got no license. Yet he lets her. He is working at the bowling alley and nmot getting off til 2:00am or something like that on weekends. Well she is out with him all the time and aint at home taking care of her son. He is 15months old. Her mom does have temporary custody of him but still. This week i havent exactly been acting myself due to a real bad feeling bout joe. I havent been myself due to this real bad feeling as far as joe. Tuesday this bad feeling hit me so hard that i scared my friend kirstie which is her sister and i got so tensed up that i started crying. And i aint one who cries hardly at all. Every once in a blue moon i will. And the bad thing to is i havent had this bad of a feeling in like 2 years since her babys daddy called and threatend to kill her. So i was wondering if you knew anything i could do to get her and joe broke up specially since nobody likes him?
i know you are desperatly worried but she has this thought her head saying hes perfect and if you go in there and say different then you will be in trouble.if i were you i would pretend i like him but sit her down and tell her how you feel about how she should see her kids and stuff but as you say it say good stuff aswell if you know wat i mean but seriously trying to break them up wont help i hope i helped please please tell me if i helped and how it goes

Q: WEll i got this friend that i been getting into fights with alot but we seemed to get over them really quick but then one day i really got mad and chewed her out and this has been about three weeks ago and i really miss talking to her so i went and bought her flowers today and dropped them off at her house and then i get on the internet later and she sends me a message and says sorry you wasted your money but nothing is going to change and now i dont no what to do and the thing is all my other friends are really good friends with her and if i lose her they will forgwt about so what should i do??
ok well healing always takes time right and so its been 3 weeks send her an email tell her you are sorry and that wat u said was out of anger send her lots of emails and stuff but also realise you could of really hurt her and so you may have to deal with the fact it will never be the same but talk to your other friends tell them wat your afraid of i am sure they wouldnt do that and if they do then they are not friends at all so just dont worry every thing will probably work out

tell me how it goes
