Alright my friend is really nice and al but she can bug me so much. Sometimes all she talks about is her other friend who is not @ our school. She calls her her BFF when she hardly see's her and i am standing right their!!! I mean we spend every minute of the day together and tell all our secrets with each other. It is almost like we are sisters. But all she can talk about sometimes is her friend emily. I dont know if i am jeleous or if she is trying to give me a hint??? IDK where our friendship stands. When someone asks who her bff is she says EMILY :( and im right their. And also i know Emily to and she said that she is not her BFF. So do i tell her that. ?

It just dosent make sense concidering we hang out 24/7 and they do maybey 1 or 2 times a week max. IS SHE MY FRIEND OR NOT???

Sincerely, MMR (link)
you can be someone's friend without being their best friend.

if you hang out with her all the time and tell everything to each other than she IS your friend.

if you act like best friends and you look like best friends and you talk like best friends then you're probably best friends.

try and think about the actual friendship you have with her, instead of what you want it to be called

: )


Hey, i have this friend and she is not liked very much by other kids @ our skool! But she dosent know this. And everyone is always asking me why i am her friend. sometimes i dont stand up for her behind her back when people ask me that because, they think i am cool when i say i dont really like her when she is like my best friend! What do i do?? i like her alot BUT no one else does? ?

What do i do?? LOST AND CONFUSED?

I think you answered your question yourself.
if you like someone, be their friend.
who cares what other people think?

if someone thinks you're "cool" for ragging on your friend then they're jerks. plain and simple.

just do what feels right to you,
be her friend, a real friend or don't.
maybe if you tell everyone else about how cool she is and why you hang with her so much they'll start to see what you're talking about and lay off

good luck :)


I'm looking for an anternative solution to cutting myself... I'm 14, and I've recently been caught in the act of cutting. My parents have decided to take me to a psychologist, and I'm really not looking forward to it... It's hard enough to talk to them. The problem is, everyone is asking if I'm okay, and what's wrong, but I don't know the answer to that. I don't know what's wrong exactly. It's a lot of stuff, I guess. I know it's wrong to cut myself, and honestly, it's just plain stupid. Nobody wins with it. I've tried to keep all this hidden from my friends. I don't want them to worry, or judge. There's one friend who I've told, but I don't want to keep pushing all this on them. It's really none of their concern. They've helped me by talking about it, but I can tell they feel awkward about it. So I'd like to get some advice on what I can do to express how I feel without hurting anyone; myself included. (The psychologist didn't suggest squat)

For any who doesn't know; I am not emo. Emo is a genre of music. So I'd appreciate it if you refrain from posting as such. And don't tell me that emo stands for "Emotional" Because I know- It's what the music is about. Emocore as it's sometimes called. (link)
story of my life? lol
basically the exact same thing happened to me
btw, im 16yearold girl so i can give you some pretty solid advice.

cutting is basically an addiction. it's hard to stop once you've really started (there's a difference between scratching yourself with a safety pin and actually cutting your skin open). However, if you do feel you need help, then you probably do.


i've stopped cutting, and i haven't in about a year. it was hard, but worth it.
as with every addiction, each addict has a different way of overcoming it.

my advice:
realize that you're above it.
insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
gradually exchange your bad habit for a good one
i believe in you : )

even though i didn't cut on my wrists i found that the rubber band trick really works.
it's discreet, and won't leave any permanent marks
it's a great alternative


i've grown up going to a christian church and school and i pray everyday but i've never felt God's presence before...

i try to have faith and seek him but it's hard when i don't feel he's there and i feel like there's a hole in my life and i feel lonely but i just don't feel like i'm a christian even though i want to be.

how do i become a christian even though i've already been praying and going to church and have seeked him but don't feel anything?? (link)

My boyfriend and I will be going to hang out together tomorrow. I don't know what to do for entertainment or anything though. I really hate awkward moments and silences so we need to be doing SOMETHING so our date doesn't just die off. Any ideas? (link)
i know this may sound a little lame but, a museum or other such place would be perfect.
there will be plenty of other people so no awkward alone time (unless you want it of course). it's supposed to be quiet so no awkward silences. all the cool exhibits will give you guys plenty to talk about, and there's plenty of movies to watch if all else fails.

hope this was helpful :)


i thought me and my best friend were honest to each other but she wasnt to me , well we practically did everything together , we even shower together, i just to tell her everything about me but she always hide stuff for me , because she thought i would judge because of my religion beliefs , shes kind off wild she dates alot of guys and knowing that they all close friends, and she likes having sex with guys shes not dating or that she doesnt know that well. i was i a huge crush on this guy since middle school and i found out a couple months ago that she was talking to him , i got pissed off , because she knew i was practically in love with him , well i lie and told her i didnt care and taht i didnt like him ,the next day i hear they dating , and it got me mad because she kiss him in from of me and stuff , well 2 weeks later she breaks up w/ him because the guy that shes in love goes to the same school and hes mad that she was dating him. then six months later she stills talks to my crush and goes to his house every day and my crush bff told me that they had sex everyday , since then i stop talking to her for that , i didnt wantted to confront her cause i know shes going to deny it , she knows i know about it and she havent come up to me and said sorry. is being 2 months since the last time i spoke to her and i miss her . and plus summer is here and we planned so many stuff this summer and idk what to do should i call or text her saying why i dont talk to her , or should i wait for her to do it?
oh btw she had sex with my brother and didnt tell me for 5 months and she deny it during that time
* im a female im 17 years old (link)
i'm really sorry about that dude, problems with best friends are always really hard.
my advice:
if you really miss her that much and you want her back as a friend
forgive and forget.
we don't choose our friends based on their mistakes, right?
we choose them based on there personality( and she obviously must have had a good one for you to still want to be friends with her).
it's complicated though, i know.
when emotions and boys are involved it always is.

i think you should be the bigger person and talk to her, tell her whatever you've been wanting to tell her, your thoughts and feelings.
you'll know what's right based on her response.


the important thing to remember is that everyone makes mistakes, everyone slips up and you can't stay mad forever.
whatever happens, atleast you can say you tried.
