I decided (and Dienne agreed) that some people could use a little advice every now and then... I give all kinds of advice from how to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop to things like how to deal with depression. The only advice I don't give is financial, which I'm sure none of you need anyways. So go ahead and ask, if you want you can request an anonymous for the question.

Fraternacide.... one of my specialities. Here's what I would do:
1. Find some pure water.
2. Inject it into his vein while he's sleeping.
3. The red blood cells in his body will burst from all the water pressure.
4. Dispose of the needle
5. Deny everything.
Bam, untraceable.*

This is a good question, because my parents were the same way at one point. Do your parents know a lot about comps or the internet? Because if they don't, you should talk to them and show them that you use a fake name, that you don't give out personal information, etc. Also, I'm not sure if Dienne's has this, but a lot of forums have rules against giving out personal information to anyone you meet online. You could show this to your parents, and explain that you could even get kicked out of places for giving this info out. Another thing you could do is let them moniter (just have em sit in the room) you talking or just surfing online once. Then they could see that you're responsible. You shouldn't have to leave im because there are a bunch of sickos out there; when it came to AIM and MSN, I explained to my parents that if I ever started talking to someone and they started acting all pervy, i could just block them or change my sn. If your parents trust you, you should be fine.

Here's one: I honestly cannot stand one of my "best-friends." He's become egotistic. Nothing bad with ego, I suppose, but with as much as he is...you'd think there was a health risk or something.
Anyway: He like pointing out all my flawas and mistakes, and compares me to him. He also doesn't value my opinion. If I try to say something, he just says "You don't know what you're talking about." or "You're making a fool of it"
Even if it's blatantly obvious that I know more about the subject that he does.
And if I am proving him wrong, it's "You speeking rights have been revoked."
That's another thing, he acts like he's my boss. No, more like I'm his slave and he can take away my rights at will.
He also has a bad habit of talking about me behind my back. Or in front of me.
He also tries to convince the reason my life sucks is because of things I do and I cannot blame anyone else, becaus it is all my fault. He has also has finds humor in my misfortune.
And the list really goes on.
Now here's the problem: I know I shouldn't consider him my best friend or even a friend for that matter as because he's...like that.
I probably just tell him to fk off and never talk to me again with the way he treats me.
But he wasn't always like this. It has actually been a recent development of the last two years (Since entering HS, actually) and I suspect something major has probably happened to cause such a big change like that.
But I don't think I can stand anymore of him, if something doesn't change soon.
So what do I do?

To Ginny:
I think your parents are probably just concerned that your preference for HP might start (or already has started) interferring with your life. Maybe it already has. Here's how you know:
1. Do you think about HP or this website a lot (at least once every waking hour)??
2. Do you get anxious when your not reading HP or on this site?
3. Have you blown off at least 2 appointments or people to read HP or come here?
4. Are any of your relationships starting to suffer?
5. Do you dream about HP?
6. Do you compare people you meet to characters in HP?
If any of these apply, it may be that you ARE getting a little carried away. Sometimes that's a good thing, because it means you can be passionate about something. But it can also turn into an addiction. To avoid this, try doing something you loved to do BEFORE you first read HP or came here, or hang out with your siblings, parents, or friends and try not to think about HP. Take a break.
If none of these apply and you're perfectly healthy, then your parents are probably just feeling a little left out because you spend a lot of time doing something you love that they can't really relate to. Try hanging out with them a little more. Ask them questions, have them tell you stories about their childhood. You never know, it could be really fun.

To HikariHeart:
You have good instincts; obviously something is bothering him, if he wasn't always like this. Anyone who constantly criticizes their friends has a slight inferiority complex, at the least. Still, he absolutely should NOT be treating you this way. Don't tell him to fk off; he probably needs you right now. Are you the only one he treats this way? If so, it's probably a call for help. I know it's pretty basic, but if you ask him what's wrong, he'll probably tell you. If he just blocks you out, tell him straight up that if he's going to continue being a jerk, he can at least tell you what the problem is. Let him decide if he's going to open up, or keep treating you like crap. if he does the latter, then you should probably discontinue your relationship with him. You don't need a slave driver, you need a friend.

I have a friend named... um... Bob. Bob was going out with... um.... Betty. Bob and Betty were together for 4 months. I have another friend named.... um.... Bert. Betty liked Bert in the beginning, but Bert didn't like Betty so Bert convinced Betty that she really liked Bob. That is how Bob and Betty started going out. Then I came along. I think I like Betty. Betty broke up with Bob unexpectedly on homecoming night. Bob and Bert don't know why. Could it be that Betty now likes me because I sorta flirted with Betty. I didn't tell her that I liked her but I guess there where hints. Now I am feeling guilty. What if Bob and Bert find out that I liked Betty the whole time? What if they think I was the reason Betty broke up with Bob? What the heck am I gonna do? Who should I stay friends with: Betty or Bob and Bert? Yes I know that I wrote it really confusingly but I couldn't think of another way to explain it. And no the names aren't real. So can you help me? |
