For Tee -
As a fellow graduate (graduating on 6/1/10!), if you’re not thinking about going to grad school right away, then focus on doing great things between undergrad and grad. People only look at your college GPA when applying for jobs right out of school, it really doesn’t matter that much if you have a positive work history after graduating.
Congrats on graduating! YAY class of 2010!

“and I’m sorry that ellie is being a –slut–” *waves* “Love you ellie!”

but wouldn’t you say she was being a bitch? I love puns

@nerd4u17 They fact that you are hesitant makes me wonder if you really want to go on youtube. On the internet means that you really put yourself out there, and you have to be a really strong person because there is a lot of criticism on the internet. Even after you are done school you will always be worried about what people think about you at college, and then work. If you think you can handle it, then go for it! If not then try something else.

@bikenik i understand and thank u for your advice i will try that but its hard to just not think about someone and expect them to go away i mean i still see him and he still talks to me and hes good friends with my brothers and one of my best friends. do u have any ways i could cope with seeing him without being rude to him?

Dear Buck,
i feel so isolated from my friends lately. i feel very lonely & depressed. when i do eat lunch with them & i say something they always gang up on me over the silliest & simple things. it’s been this way ever since they joined the girls soccer team. i don’t like soccer at all. i’ve made that clear to them. but i dont bring it up? i’m not a bad person at all. i respect everyone. i don’t see what the problem is.

So there is this guy in my school.
Most of my friends thinks he likes me, and I like him too. But I have no idea why I am feeling emo and depressed about this. If he does like me, thats amazing, but he doesn’t show that he doesn’t….Is it because of the thought that maybe someone likes me? I really don’t know what to do to get out of this emotional state. Someone help? *BTW I’m gay*

Libbyism: people with drug and alchohol problems very very often relapse. Doesn’t mean you can’t be with them but you need to be prepared for that. It’s not a eventuality but very likely.

@x5n4p3 How about you try having safe sex and stop doing drugs. Seriously go to rehab if you need to. If your friend has Hep C and is risking your health in those ways maybe you should get a new friend. Speaking as someone with a chronic disease (though mine isn’t deadly, I have an autoimmune disease, hives and my face swells up every night) it just takes time to adjust to your new reality. That what it becomes, it’s just your life, the way things are.

When did you get married Buck?

Dear Buck,

I have a question/problem. I live a double life. I have some pretty reckless and impulsive friends. My best friend from my ‘other’ life has HEP C. I’m REALLY scared of catching it because we’re really close (we’ve had sex, share drug paraphernalia, etc.) — I was tested and it came out negative, but HEP C can ‘hide’ in your system for up to 6 months. I’m still waiting. So, how do I deal with a positive test result? Should I abandon my friend?

hugs, x5n4p3.

@Sandra:
It seems like you have a really great imagination. Instead of simply interacting with your imaginary boyfriend, maybe write the stuff you and him do down. There are lots of famous writers who feel like their characters have a life of their own, maybe it would help if you created an environment where both your imaginary boyfriend, and you can go do things in a non-real world (AKA: write you and your imaginary boyfriend as characters going out somewhere).

@0music0lover0 Yes get over him…to do this remain conscious of your thoughts and when he pops into your head don’t indulge these thoughts. Immediately think of something else, something serious like your least favorite school subject & keep thinking about that until your mind goes on to something else besides this boy. Repeat as often as necessary & soon you won’t be thinking about this guy. Fourteen is kinda young to be thinking about older boys anyway, think about developing yourself.
