why is it botherin ya

Quote From: luvrelyea

i was best friends with this girl. we meet i second grade. every weekend i we stayed at each others house and every school vacation we stayed at each others house. then she started dateing my brother. our friendship went down hill from there.  it was so hard for me as i was slowly loseing my best friend to my younger brother who didnt treat her very well. when she called the house she would call for him, and when she came over she came over to see him and it was so hard and a very depressing time for me because she was my only friend.  now the two of them are living together and i still dont have a best friend. i try to still be her friend but for some reason she acts like she doesnt want to be my friend.

hey,

well i really dont know why ya care a bout what ya dont have to, if ya really love ur friend ya have to make her feel free specially when it comes to her own feelings and the person she loves i guess ya over reactin coz she obsolutly free to choose her love ya have to respect that likely her love is ur brother ya should feel happy coz he isnt gonna hurt her as much as some one that ya dont know.....the real personal feelings a bout love cant be controlled she love ur brother and ur brother love her why ya involvin ur self here  why.....................................

 

my advise ,,,, be a nice gurl with an open mind and deal with this issue as a mature gurl not a lil kid.....leave her a lone as long as ur brother love her and i dont know i,m wounderin are ya a gay if not live ur life the way it should be......................................

Trouble Accepting

Hey Everyone!!!

 

I am new to this, so here it goes. I have this friend that is moving to another state. I switched to this school because of friend issues. Now, I have a good friend that I just meant this year that is moving. I am going to miss her so much. Her parents aren't the brightest crayon in the box eithier. Sometimes we joke about her moving, but we both no that it isn't a laughing matter. How can I accept the fact that she is moving. I am giving the situation to God, but I still need some advice from others. Can someone please give me some advice???

 

Faith :)

Attend the wedding or not?

Very easy:

 

My boyfriend's friend is getting married this summer.  My boyfriend likes this guy. Fiancée is a demanding lady, but we don't really mind because a) it's not us that has to live with her and b) we never really see her.  My question is this:

 

Since I have no attachment to the groom and absolutely no liking towards the bride, do I attend the wedding? A part of me says I should go because it would be tactful to do so, let alone not being inconsiderate towards the boyfriend. The other half of me says to take a 3 day trip somewhere and forget it's even happening.

 

Any info or insight would be appreciated-thanks in advance,

is sh erally a friend

well i have a girl i call my friend, but i feel as if she talks about me to her family member. i always thought if you are someones friend, regardless of who talks about your best friend, you dont talk about them. i guess that was just the way i was raised. i have gotten to the place where i just dont be around her as much. i dont even consider her my best friend any more. friends are forever right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know how you feel, b/c a good friend is hard to find. but if your friendship is strong regardless of how far you move away nothing will ever change. you may not have her close by in sight , but computers and telephones are great. take care and always remember god is your bestfriend

how can i help

i have a friend  i care about a lot. she recently  went through a bad break up and she seems really sad, and in my experience, a tad suicidal. i badly want to help her cope from what looks like what was supposed to be a good thing. She says she can't handle life anymore because she has been in what seems only abusive relationships. She also seems to get sick a lot more, and she never smiles, not even for me. I want her to feel good about herself, i want her to see the break up was a good thing, and that she can get what she wants, because she deserves it. How do i do this,?

You can eat a bowl of chocolate-chip cookie dough with them and share the sickness afterward (oh but its worth it!)

They bring you chocolate when you need it (which is most of the time hehe)

They'll list all of your bad habits and qualities in return without ever forgetting what makes them love you.  

  

They are forever... 

  

  

Your post just could not get any better.  I have best friends that I can apply most if not all of those little lines to.  It is just so true.  When being a best friend it truely is an unconditional love that each of you share and if something is going on you can just ride right through it.  Good, bad, ugly and the really REALY UGLY!  But it doesn't matter.  Even when time and distance can come between there is always that feeling of picking up from where you left off.  I got a good GOOD :O) cry and a good laugh out of this.  Brings back memories and gives me the constant good feeling that I have people around me that I can count on no matter what!  Thanks for posting this....it really made my day today!
