My name is Courtney,and i'm 17 years old. So, I can't seem to get over my crush that i've had for a while. I got this crush when I met him in my schools drama program. I have completely fallen for him, and I know for a fact that he likes my best friend (basically my sister). He gave her a chocolate rose on Valentines Day, and wants to go to prom with her. It totally breaks my heart.
I am so frustrated because we are actually friends, and even worse, WE PLAY A COUPLE IN THE PLAY. every time I try to shake off the crush, we do something adorable in the play and I fall right back into it again. I don't know what to do about this whole situation and I have no one to talk to. (link)
You have a few options, you can either tell your friend so she realises that you're hurting inside and you can try to work through it with her.

You could tell him that you like him but i don't think you like the sound of this idea.

Or you can grin and bare it until you move on or he moves on.

Overall you might be able to work round it but either way good luck!


So, my mother and father are both homophobes, which sucks seeing as though I have the keenest interest in girls. I am 17 years old, and live with both parents. I am unsure of how to come out to them, and would love some advice. Thanks, xx. (link)
Have you got a friend you can tell? Getting this off your chest would be good otherwise you might get stressed and that can lead to medical issues.
If feel you can't tell a friend have got another family member you can tell? If you're in some form of education there might be system that you can go through for support. Although i'm not entirely sure about the relationship you have with your parents if they have supported you in other things they will try to support you in this, however it might be awkward for them they might just need time.

Good luck with everything and let us know hoq everything goes.


Today, my mom asked me how one of my acquaintances was; she said he seemed depressed. I said that I didn't know, and instantly felt guilty. We had gotten to be pretty good friends at the beginning of the school year, and although we've never dated, I've had a crush on him for a long time and he likes me too. But around Thanksgiving, he completely stopped talking to me, and being egocentric and clingy, I thought that maybe he was sick of me or being standoffish or that he didn't like me in the first place and asked him why he was "ignoring me". But now that I think about it, he has seemed depressed, and that didn't even occur to me because I'm horrible at reading emotions and really, really egocentric. Thinking about how other people are feeling doesn't come naturally to me; I'm very empathetic, but unless it's obvious how someone is feeling, I won't think anything of it. I hate how I just assumed that he was ignoring me out of some negative quality on his part. He's finally started talking to me a little bit more lately, and I was just about to send him a message on Facebook when I noticed that he unfriended me.

I want to apologize, but I have no idea how to do so. If I ask him if anything is wrong, he's probably going to push me away, especially since we've never been close friends. I've been a really horrible friend in a lot of ways, now that I think about it. What should I do?

For clarification, I'm a sophomore in high school. (link)
Some people find it hard to talk to others about their problems. I know quite a-few people who are like this, most of them are men - they don't want to burden others and let their actions speak louder than words. So try not to take what has happened to heart,much like RTGMC all I can advise is this:
Apologize for what you might have done and tell him that you're there for him. Then give him some space and time to think on what you've said.
