sorry, this is a bit long =/
well, i met this guy this summer who lives in my old town, i knew him before but we never talked. anyway, he liked me & i liked him, but nothing ever happened. he said i was shy, but then i admitted my feelings to him and he said he was glad that i was talking to him about it, but he never told me if he still felt that way or not. then i found out he liked some other girl, who also lived a bit farther away from him. he told me he didnt like her or have a chance with her though. then i found out a bunch of his friends did drugs, and i asked him about it and he told me he didnt do them, so i believed him. he has a great personality and is incredibly easy to talk to, and he's SO polite, so i wouldnt expect him to do anything like that. then he & his other friend went over to my friend laurens because his friend likes her, and she told me that he was high. i really dont want to mess with guys who do drugs, but i also still really like him, even though i know i shouldnt. i know hes so much better than that. so im trying hard to get over him, but theres just something about him that makes me feel something ive never felt before.
then we just started school exactly a week ago, and there's this kid in two of my classes, and we dont talk like, at all. which i know is bad. but his locker is two away from mine, and hes reallyyyyy cute, and he seems a little shy, like me. but in one of these classes im a teachers assistant(she has a class at the same time) so whenever i get up to do something for her, he watches me. and i dont think that means anything or whatever. but id really like talking to him and becoming his friend first and hopefully lead to something else.
then my friend, well call him "D", asked me out a couple days ago, and i told him no because i dont like him that way. then he asked me if id give him a chance, and i told him i didnt know. hes really funny & we talk a lot, but i just dont see him like that. last year he got like really depressed over this girl, i dont really know all the details, but everyone was like so worried about him. and he told me he tried slitting his throat, but didnt get that far. hes a really emotional person, and i dont want to hurt him. also, last year, he wrote this poem for that girl and our english teacher read it to our class, and it was the most beautiful thing id ever heard. hes awesome at writing poetry, and everyone knows it. i dont know what ill do if he would write me one. i think i might feel bad and go out with him, which i really dont want to do, but im a sucker for a sweet guy. & i dont know what to do. should i just forget about all these guys & i hope someone better comes along? lol sorry that this was so long, ill definately rate high :)

Whether you do the drugs or not, you would go to jail with them unless they admitted the drugs were theirs. More than likely, a drug addict won't admit the drugs are theirs.
I think that you are an intelligent and mature young woman. Could it be possible that the thought of dating someone who "breaks the rules" is attracting you to him? If it is, then you are wise to move along.
As far as the second guy goes, do you not want to go out with him because he doesn't interest you, or because you haven't made up your mind on the first guy?
On the second guy, one thing that I have learned in life is that if you and a guy spark an interest, but are not dating within a month, move on. If a guy really wants to date you, he will find a way to ask you to be with him, even if it is a shy guy. Majority of the time, the guy will try to get to you quickly, especially if he knows you are single. Keeping this in mind will save you a lot of heartache and wasted time.
Consider what your stance is with the second guy. With him telling you that he tried slitting his throat, it sounds like a "cry" for someone to notice him. Don't think of that in a bad way. Maybe he told you that so that you would feel some sorrow for him, and want to help him. I personally don't think this is a good way for a guy to start off a relationship, but for some women, it works.
Follow your heart, and go where it leads you. I wish only the best for you in life.
