I don't see what's wrong with catching up with an old friend. It's not like you're going into it with the intent to break the two up, or meddle with her life, is it? Just say something like: "Hey, it's -name-, want to go grab a coffee and reminisce of the old times?" or similiar. If you have a good time and it really bothers you, you can ask her at the end if it's okay with her boyfriend - maybe not directly, but rather politely. Or heck, if it goes well invite him out as well next time. In my experience though - I have a lot of friends I haven't seen in ages, spent ages 8 - 12 either moving to a new state, preparing to move to a new state, or getting over the move to a new state - you might find the sad truth of it is that you aren't that compatible anymore. Hope this helps... =)

Ah, being the only one of your 'kind' can be very hard, I was the only Tasmanian amongst a whole bunch of Westeners during High School, it's not easy, especially when everyone around you seems to have strong ties to both the area and the people. Have you asked around, maybe there's someone with whom you share a similiar connection back home you can hang with when you're down?

It's funny how we can be surrounded by people and still feel totally alone. What about talking to your family? Do you do that often? When I'm away and feeling homesick I call my parents and get them to tell me all the little details of home-life, makes me feel like I'm still there. Hope this helped... =)

Develop your circle of friends with other people, like DBL said... unfortunately, there isn't much you can do about him specifically. =) Or just throw a huge party and not invite him... =P

While i have no useful suggestions, I just want to point out that the whole "Hair grows back worse" thing is a proven myth =) link removed So maybe he could shave?

That's awkward moment #7 in sumguy's big book of awkward moments, I think most people have been through something similiar at least once =) All you can do is take the plunge next time... not thinking about it really does help... =P

Watch out Linkin Park... =) Great poem.

But how much difference has a months seperation made..?

And above all be careful and be sure you know what you want, this gets messy very quickly if the feelings aren't recipricated...
-
Not all men lie... ;_; Whilst not necessarily good advice, I think amongst many online communities it's become matter of course. Just be careful layering it on too thick, some people will respond just out of politeness...

Spanish and Italian families are incredibly close - this isn't just a cliche', this is an observation I'm making based on personal experience - if you have offended her aunt, you might have offended the entire family. You could ask her if you've offended her, but don't apologize unless you're sure you've done something wrong.
-
Just because she has a 'boyfriend' doesn't necessarily mean she has a relationship - a lot of people stay in 'relationships' because they're either afraid to break it off or they're in a rut. If it's making you that uncomfortable, you could talk to her about it. But I think this more of a "watch and wait" situation...

Or a long walk or run, lose yourself in a nature hike or something, something about walking in the great outdoors really helps me order my thoughts. It's just a bump, when you finish your uni course you'll be qualified to move into the field you chose, you'll be able to find a better job, which will allow you to get a new car and make you less dependant on your parents... ...if it'll make you feel better, write out some long term goals to achieve over the next year or two, then aim for them. Otherwise always remember this is only a temporary and difficult stage in your life, I have a lot of respect for the tenacity of people who can split their time between Uni and Work. Hope this helped =)

Some people seem to feel it's a matter of course to check the other persons personal property and messages as part of the relationship, and while I think this is wrong, you had good sound reasons for doing what you did. You don't want to be with someone who would lie to you, would you? Hope this helped. =)

If the medicine stops your thoughts from thinking, then it can't be all bad, can it? Do what nottogreen says, he seems to specialise in these matters... =)

It is easier to run than say goodbye

That was really good, I could imagine that as a song. -
Also, you surrendered the Morale high-ground by cheating...

In Australia (Specifically, Tasmania and Victoria) have in place the "Good Samaritains(sp) Act 1999" Under which you could go to jail for not intervening in a minor crime. Really, you should have made a citizens arrest, or at the very least turned a blind-eye and made him leave your house. If the kid did in fact hit someone and is charged with grevious bodily harm or - god forbid - manslaughter, you can be charged for aiding and abeditting the escape of a criminal. That's a hefty fine if you've never been formally charged, and jail if you have. Hindsight is 20/20, maybe the best course is to report to the police what you did and assist them even a little in finding this kid and proving it was him... ...and I want to give a nod to God, for giving us guilt... a silent, built-in ethics system ^_^

From what I've seen, it varies from person to person. It's possible, but it wont be easy...

Nothing is necessarily wrong, after all, you're only 17, things are still being developed, grown and built all around your body. If it's worrying you that much, go and see a doctor. Hope this helped =)

We walk, we fall, and we stand again, so that we may learn to walk, fall and stand stronger. I personally think the break-up is as hard on both parties, but maybe you're taking it harder not because you're male but because you're having difficulty opening up. It depends on the person, not the gender. And there'll come a time when you'll find someone you'll be able to open up to again, until then hang in there. =)

Based on what I've seen and experienced, I'd say it's a little of both. A suicide attempt seems to be a cry for help, and the human body is fairly tough... a lot tougher than the movies or television make it out to be =P

God gives you instincts for a reason, you aren't crazy for going with your gut... =D In hindsight, eNotalone would have been a good place to dump everything as opposed to on a person who apparently wasn't trustworthy... but I really don't think you can do anything about it. Reputation and Virginity, two things that once lost can never be regained. But specifically: Stay Friends: Unless it becomes a matter of ignoring you, yes. Stay Best-Friends: as Above. Talk to her: Maybe, but if she tells you not to worry about it, will that really make you feel any better? Get Over It: That's what you're doing now... Change Myself: Never change, everyones good how they are... =D Hope this helped, though probably not... ^_^

Relax, it's what jesus would do =P Seriously though, I'm pretty sure no one ever lets go of their anger over the sort of things you described there, they just learn to incoporate it into their being... I've always found a quick walk or drive accompanied by loud music is the best way to sort feelings out, how do you deal with other emotions? Sadness, or Boredom for example? Could that be applied to Jealousy? ect... Hope this helped =)

I liked it, especially: "Is life really worth living when your whole life you have lied?" Good poeming! =)
