What's stargazing? Uh, well, about the club thing: what do you mean? Like a sports club gym complex thing? Or are you talking about something like the clubs in school? I could try that...

OH yeah, I forgot to tell you that I used to massage my scalp at least once a day with the conditioner on for at least 3 minutes every day. I would try to get my head as close to the ground so I could get as much blood flowing up there as I could, and I think that helped a lot... I stopped doing that, so yeah that may be a nother reason why I started to see hair fall off everywhere again. So yeah try the massage thing. Good luck.

I say what he did is unforgivable. The fact that he was drunk is no excuse. You trusted him and look at what he did... I say forget about him cause he doesn't deserve you... He caused you a lot of pain, and you don't need that. So, I think you should get rid of him. And if the girl's pregnant it's not your problem, so don't worry. Good luck.

Well the job part I can't do (I have reasons...) and the volunteering thing didn't work before... I didn't make friends there, I just tried to like talk to some other people and stuff, but I dunno... What would I do with myspace? I have some people's myspaces, but I dunno... Like I said I don't even know at this point, who I could ask to hang out...

I know I've asked about this like a gazillion times... I mean, at this point I should probably just drop it but here goes: Ok, I couldn't be more bored with my summer. There isn't a single day when I'm not busy that I don't think that I wish I were hanging out with some friends or at least meeting new people or something... Yeah, so I've got a couple of friends I could call up as well as a couple of people I know that I could call just to talk and check what's up or something (they're not REALLY friends but could be). The thing is: One of the people I would like the most to hang out with was already shipped out with the marines, and some of my other best friends... Well one of them I exchanged a couple of emails with and stuff, and another one well, I've called her a couple of times but I get no signal after the first like 10 seconds. So I basically gave up trying... I dunno... It's like I dunno how to meet people outside school. Anyway, I dunno if I should call anyone up... It's been A WHILE (or at least that's what it feels like... hmm, let's see... my last day of school was less than a month ago, though... but still, lol). Anyway, need some help, I dunno what to do. THank you very much for bearing with me and best wishes.

Well I agree with the come and go part but I think it's pretty hard to focus A LOT in school when you're in high school... I mean, in my opinion, high school was cake (even some of my hardest AP classes weren't tough... only one of my classes I can say was very stressful)... Now college is a different story. But I mean, you could get other hobbies instead, though, and practice some team sports... And well you're at an age when it's pretty easy to meet boys so yeah, it's gonna be easy to date and stuff plus you have the time... Just don't get too tied down by a single guy and keep in mind that guys (especially at that age) come and go pretty quickly. Best wishes.

this happened to me also. I had hair that was like way over 6 inches long already but it was thinning, yet only me, my brothers and my parents noticed. None of of my barbers did... Anyway, yeah, I started cutting it wayshorter than that and I used some scalp treatment conditioners (don't remember the name...) and it really helped. I would see only a couple of hairs left behind after I took a shower. I ran out of them conditioners but things kept going pretty good until I got another haircut (which was even shorter... about an inch and half on top and the rest I got like number 3 machine) and now I see hair falling off everywhere again. My hair's grown so I'm thinking of getting a number 2 all over as someone suggested and getting the scalp treatment conditioners again (they sell them at SuperCuts) and see how it goes. If not, oh well... My father says this happened to him when he was around my age, but it eventually stopped and today I see he has a full head of hair, so... Oh yeah, the more you stress out about it, the more it'll happen. So don't worry about it. Best wishes.

Well, ok, I'm having about the most boring summer in the history of mankind... That's right. I find it hard to believe that any healthy, able-bodied and sane individual in this world has been as bored as I am (in my case the sane part is questionable, though). So, I found out there were gonna be a bunch of awesome shows going on... Problem is: Ok, I live in Florida, and most of these are in Tampa and Daytona Beach, and I live about 4 hours away from Daytona beach (but like 6 if going by bus), not sure how far away from Tampa, but I'm guessing a lot farther... I'm working on getting my license, but even so... It's a pretty long ride. I dunno if my parents will let me go either... I'm 18, but I don't think they trust me enough to let me go... They think I dunno how to take care of myself, and worst part is they might be right, cause I've only done a thing like this once in my life, and it was years ago... And now I wish I had done it more, cause, well, it's fun to go far away, to a show... They say that if I can get some friends (and they have to be responsible and stuff) or ("even better") a friends' parents to drive us, then it's ok... The thing is I dunno that many people who'd be willing to go... I know like only a couple of people who're kinda into some of the things I'm into... But I don't know them THAT well either... I dunno what to do, and I wish I could do like other kids who go on road trips and stuff especially after graduating from high school... This sucks. Any suggestions?

Couldn't agree more... Like I said, some girls just like to play games. Tell her to back off man. You can meet someone better.

I think it's more of this... Some girls just like to play games...

Oh THAT girl you told me about... I remember. Man, I would just go straight up to her and tell her that it'd be better if she stopped trying to contact me. Just do it, straight to the point. If she doesn't get the hint, she's either dumb, or just plain annoying and you'll have to get mean. I know I'd hate it if girl kicked me to the curb like that and then periodically tried to contact me. Hope that was of some help. Best wishes.

amen to that.

I didn't quite know where to place this but here goes: I'm gonna hang out with some people this week.. I mean, I'm gonna start asking people if they wanna hang out. Hopefully they'll be available and they'll say yes. But I was wondering: Where can I meet more people? I wish I could make more friends and meet more girls (even though I'm moving to another state 1 hour away by plane in august, it'd still be fun to practice talking to them I guess). I've changed a lot and I guess I'm finally more comfortable with myself... In fact, I think I'm a pretty awesome person if given the chance. I guess this is why I had never had a girlfriend and right before school ended I felt like it was within my grasp if only I had approached a girl (not the one I got a bad vibe from, lol). I mean, I had a couple of them in mind, but I didn't do anything. Anyway, that was that I guess... But it's summer, and I have no clue where I could meet people. I'm trying to get my license ASAP so I can finally get out of home whenever I want to (sometimes I feel... confined within its walls...), and I guess that could be the first step towards meeting more people? I dunno, give me some input please. Best wishes.

Anyone else PLEASE have something to say?

I think one life is enough... What makes some people think we deserve an afterlife in paradise is beyond me. But I don't believe in fire and brimstone either. I think we're here just like any other animal... Difference is we're more aware that we're here than they are hence we have time to create belief systems and stuff. This is why every single one of us should try our best to lead good, honest, productive lives. To the original poster in the original post: For light to exist there has to be darkness. For good to exist there has to be evil. It's a relative thing... Some things are good in contrast to the bad things, so it's basically all based in comparing and contrasting, it's what I think...

It's just that once I'm out of class, at home, I just keep thinking about how bored I am and about when am I going to get to hang out with some people, meet more people, improve my social skills... I'm gonna have a test (which I've known about since like 2 weeks ago) this thursday, and I haven't started studying... And the college I'm going to is gonna be a lot tougher than this... I can only imagine myself getting whooped already and my parents thinking I'm a disappointment and just a lazy SOB who does it on purpose... I, personally, am starting to think that there's gotta be something wrong going on in my head... It's what it finally came down to... I've been under a lot of stress at multiple times in my life, and I always thought I would go mad, but nothing happened! Hey, I was invincible, till one day unaware, this problem started... Stupid *beep* emotions... If I could like lobotomize myself, I would... But then, would I be winning? PS: I know what a lobotomy is, and I'm just kidding...

I've already posted a couple of times about my lack of concentration... And somebody suggested that it might be related to emotional distress or something... I think I'm not doing that well... To be more precise, I find myself constantly bored... I find myself nostalgic too. I wish I could make it stop. I wish I could meet people. I'm just very afraid I'm not gonna do well in college. That if I can't concentrate I won't be able to succeed academically. And that maybe I won't do well meeting people... It took me 4 years in high school to start being friendly. Even this last year, when I thought I already knew how to, it took me till the year was pretty much over to get along with lots of people like I always had wanted. It's not that I wanted to be "popular", I just wanted to not be the quiet kid in the corner who everybody perceives as anti-social/hostile. And I finally achieved it but it was short-lived. I just wish that in college things will be good since the beginning. Because I see all that time before I finally broke out of my shell as a waste of time... Sure I was learning and stuff, but still, I feel like so many things would've been so awesome had I only been like that since the beginning. And I only hope that I can take advantage of this clean slate I'm getting, but sometimes it's like I don't even though I don't mean to... I don't have any friends outside school (well, technically, the few friends I've called so far who already graduated are outside school now, because well, we graduated... but you know what I mean). I'd say I feel up for meeting people this summer and stuff, but I dunno how or where to look. I can't get a job (There are reasons why...), volunteering didn't work before, and I've only hung out with a couple of my friends and it was only once and I can't say I met any new people (I knew them already). I try calling this friend of mine who is a girl (hoping maybe I'll meet more girls or something) but her cell doesn't seem to work cause everytime she picks up after like 3 seconds she starts breaking up so I gave up trying (I don't wanna make her think I'm annoying or something IF she doesn't think so already, that is). Anyway, yeah I'm taking a computer programming class over the summer. And can you believe how hard a time I've had to pick up the book and just start studying? It's not that it's not interesting, because when I'm in class just trying to do the excercises then trying to add stuff of my own or finding different ways to do things, I can barely stop myself when class is over. But it's just that me wanting to meet people and to hang out without seeing any signs that it will happen keeps me feeling pretty bad like summer's gonna be crap... This is kind of a rant, but I would like somebody to please tell me other ways to be able to focus... And I would love to hear some suggestions regarding where I could meet people, or how I could get some people to hang out with me... Best wishes.

I think what we need in the world is more people like you: More couples like you and your husband. God bless you two. Best wishes.

Well I'm definitively going through the emotional troubled phase... Lily04, I've tried what you said, you know, focusing on the now? It didnt' work very well. I would shrug thoughts off, but after a while, I forgot to do it, lol and they just kept taking over... I could try the taking a break after an hour or so part, though instead of standing up every 5 minutes... Maybe knowing that it's just 1 hour until the next break is what I need to have in mind in order to make it easier... Thank you both, best wishes.

Sounds cool... I acted normally, when I saw her, but she acted weird. I mean, I myself didn't actually feel comfortable not talking to her again after I had asked her out. But Oh well... I guess in a way she made it easier, cause I didn't have to talk to her again (the short small talk part...). And I agree with Budman. So, I was just wondering... I know I did nothing wrong. Well best wishes to everyone.

I can no longer focus... It's like I developed some sort of ADD. It's been like this for over a year already. It sucks... I think college will kick my butt if I don't fix it. I know it's quite impossible to develop ADD just like that. But seriously, it's like every year I get worse. I dunno what to do. I wanna be able to do well in my academics but at the same time I want to have time for my hobbies. But I can't focus well enough for successful time management skills... I've tried lots of stuff, but it doesn't work. This year all I did was study, because homework would take soooo long for me to do with me standing up constantly and all... I lost many hours of sleep... I can't let this happen to me in college, because I will do horribly and I won't have time for my hobbies (I wanted to start a band, and a bunch of other things...). I need help please. Best wishes.

Indeed, I'm intrigued. I know I, myself, would do just as BlueWolf said. In fact, I've done it already. I'm not gonna stop running away just cause she wants to be more than friends, because I do still wanna be friends. But I'm not gonna give her false signs either... So yeah... I'm intrigued to what I should do next time.

Hello? Any girls wanna give me some input before this thread passes on from the "front page"?

Hey! Great to have you back. Don't you even think about leaving ever again, lol.

I don't mean mad as in crazy (although what they do is indeed not normal) but more as in angry... That's what she seemed to be, angry or something. Oh well. I thought it was never gonna happen again, but damnit, it did. Maybe I should just start looking at another type of woman? I dunno if they're all gonna do that, though. It was a simple question! She gave me her answer, why keep remembering it? Couldn't we at least just go back to being regular classmates? It's not like I kept asking it over and over again all pushy and stuff. And it's not like I'm a pig without manners either. There's just some people I'll never understand...
