i love this boy named james but all my friends wind me up because they know he wont go out wiv me.and they make fun of him and i dont like it cos i really really love him :(
I'm guessing you must be fairly young, or at least I hope so, because I really can't imagine anyone over the age of fourteen to be acting the way your friends are. Even so, that's no excuse for them to hurt you like this.
I assume you're wondering what to do about the situation. It would be easier to advise you if I knew how old you and James are, but going on the assumption that you're 14 or younger, here's what I think you should do:
(1) As far as a serious relationship, give it time. Even if you are ready, he may not be. Wait until you're at least 15.
(2) Tell him that you have feelings for him (I wouldn't say the words "I love you" because that might scare him off). Try to catch him alone and in a place where your idiot friends won't interfere - that might be hard to do, but you want to make sure his reaction is real and not just for the benefit of whoever else is around. If he's not prepared to return your feelings, then try to take it well and let him know that if he ever changes his mind, you'll be around (for a while, anyway).
(3) Let your friends know that they're hurting your feelings and giving a hard time to someone you care about. Again, it might be most effective to tell them this individually, not as a group. They need to grow up. If their behavior keeps up, react as little as possible; the game will wear thin if they discover they can't get a rise out of you anymore.

If you love him, get to know him and see where it goes. And don't pay attention to your 'friends'...though if they were really your friends they'd care about what is important to you.
