I think he most likely didnt bug her to tell him who liked him because he's really too shy! He probably likes you a lot and doesnt know how you feel. So... you like him too, right? I say get to be friends with him... sit next to him in class or something, and start a conversation... get to know him. Then, maybe it will be a little more obvious how he feels towards you. Then maybe you can tell your friend it's ok to tell him you like him... and watch the pieces come together!!

What do i do... i hate my mother she gives me no freedom i'm really a good kid i'd never drink or do drugs or anything but my mom is convinced i'm doing pot or worse, i just dont get it... shes always on my case but im completely innocent. I think she doesnt trust me cause i got a C in science on my last report card, which is really unlike me, but it was because i went into major depression cause my dad (who i love more than anyone in the world) was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (basically a death sentence... 5 years max).... The only thing that brings me happiness anymore is my school... I go to an alternative school centered around the creative arts and its so much fun, but mom says "its a half-assed education" when its really a better way of learning... expeditionary learning, we learn by experience, and relate most of what we learn to current events. Mom is probably going to switch me back to my town high school, which is terribly boring and traditional and structured with only a tiny bit of emphasis on creative arts... and i HATE THAT... i think i would die. I feel like I don't love anyone at all anymore... my mom is so terrible, and my dad..... if i love him again, i'll feel the pain again... and i cant live through that another time. my sister is just a bitch.... and dont get me started on my stepparents.......... There's no one who i feel that child-like, comfortable un-conditional love towards. Meantime, i am going insane with my mom breathing down my neck and yelling at me every other second and insulting me, my dad dying, and time running out at the school of my dreams... They all expect me to go to harvard or something but i dont want to live in the corporate world... i want to be a musician.... so badly. I would be a drama teacher, or something, you know to pay the bills... that would make me happy, i dont even care about lots of money. I just want to live a happy life, and i have always walked to the beat of my own drum. i just dont fit into the system, but my parents say thats the only way. IVE GOTTA GET OUT! HELP MEEEEEEE!!! what do i do? i cant run away, i have nowhere to go... i'm suffocating... i feel like i'm dying. god i hate my mother so much. So much that all the unconditional love is GONE. just gone. She pushes me to the point of insanity...i am inches away from just flipping out and ***ing myself up and dying, but dying stoned drunk and happy. I'm scaring myself... Yes I'm tied to the whippin post, tied to the whippin post, tied to the whippin post, oh lord i feel like i'm dyin... --the allman brothers "Whippin Post" There must be some kind of way outa here, said the joker to the thief, there's too much confusion, can't get no relief --Jimi Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower"

Lately i have been wanting to spend more time with my friends, and having to go to my dads house has been almost taking away my whole social life. I can only go to 2/5ths of the trips to the mall, movies, events that my friends invite me to on weekends, because 3 out of 5 weekends i am 25 miles away. I have been wanting to talk to my dad about this for quite some time, but i have been afraid to. He's very possessive. I hinted a little bit once, and his immediate reply was: "arent i more important than your friends??" I am 14 now, and seeing my friends is more important to me than it used to be.... and i want to change the schedule of weekends. Last saturday i found out that my dad has pancreatic cancer. If i change the schedule now, i will feel like i am deserting him. But i dont want to desert my friends or my LIFE either!!! What do i do?!?! --confused

oh my god my dad has cancer what am i gonna do im gonna die HELP!

Ok, take it from me, (im less than 5 feet tall) physical size, whether it be small or tall, can definitely affect guys attitudes towards you. Ive been through a lot of those "lets be friends" situations... and what ive found is: The guys that matter wont care if you're taller or smaller... I mean, would you really want to end up with a guy who was so immature as to even care how tall you were? Be confident, and rely on your character to attract guys, cause the ones who like you genuinely for you will be the best ones

I used to be one hell of an excessively happy teen. Now my life has changed so drastically... I cant really spill to any of my friends, cause theyre all involved in my problems somehow... So i will spill anonymously online! what better a solution could there be? It started last month, my dad's mom died. My dad's family is so messed up... he has sorta a feud going on with his father, and he couldnt even go to his own mothers funeral. I went, but my mom (who is divorced from my dad) had to take me. It all upset me very much... I wrote an email to my close guy friend. That made me feel a little better. Meantime, im falling in love with my close guy friend's best friend (um, ill give them names: D is my close guy friend, and E is his best friend) I ask D whether E is crushing on anyone, and it turns out he has a girlfriend (ugh) I am heartbroken. I start to become closer and closer friends with D, and were trusting each other with more and more personal things. He tells me about his terrible father, i tell him the details of my parents divorce. Suddenly, i find myself in love with D. I tell him so, he has two objections: 1) hes not ready for a gf 2) his friend Alex still likes me (i went out with Alex for a week in the summer, and immediately dumped that jerk!) I talk to D the next day, he confides that he just wanted to be friends all along (double ugh) About a week later, my dad goes into emergency surgery. His bile duct is clogged, its serious. He has a tumor, but theyre not sure if its cancerous or not. He has to go in for major surgery to remove the tumor soon. I had only one mental wall... one thing i would refuse to acknowledge... that my father was mortal. He was always my superman, invincible, immortal. This mental wall came tumbling immediately down, and it hurt me terribly. I wouldnt even let him talk about turning 50... i would start to cry and tell him to be quiet. I just couldnt deal with the fact that he was human, and he was sick, possibly terribly sick. Again i turn to D, who has become a big part of my life lately... i cant even communicate how good of a friend he's been to me There is another sticky situation, however. D tells me that he likes my friend (her name can be C) I have started to fall for E again at this point. D finds out that E also likes C. Neither D nor E can go out with C because they both like her and they are best friends. And neither of them like me... ... C tells me that she likes E, and i am heartbroken, but i tell C that i dont like E anymore, anyway. So, we are stuck in one freaky love-rectangle, and me and D are left lonely. Tonight i was talking to D, and all of this stuff hit me: I am in a state of mental meltdown-mode, and i am so lonely i could die. I sorta had a mini nervous-breakdown on him, but it was ok, cause he was there. Im finding it hard not to fall in love with him. Meantime, D wants to die too, cause he knows E and C like each other. He's as lonely and sad as i am... But we have no chances, he is so stuck on C... This whole thing about my dad is sorta driving me slowly insane, as well... I cant deal with it still... and its turning me from the happy-random-silly girl i used to be, to this sad and lonely girl that i call myself today. HELP!!
