Well, it looks like you basically have this already sorted out for the most part. YOu're right, it may just need some time. Being away from your boyfriend/girlfriend can be a tough thing to deal with. It adds a lot of stress. In the end, you both have to just try your best and hope things work out. As for your girlfriends confusion about school and such, maybe you could help her some. Ask if she needs help with homework or anything like that. Those little things can go a long way. Good luck. =) …

Distance can be a huge obstacle to overcome when in a relationship. It takes a lot of patience and planning. In fact, my girlfriend and I are finally going to meet this summer after knowing eachother for over 3 years. We've been planning it for a year now. And there's still 80 days to go. =P If he doesn't want to be in a relationship right now because of distance, there isn't much you can do. The awkwardness is really in your head, and as soon as you realize that things can be the same again, yo…

Quote from art_051: “Set fire to her lawn saying PROM? in flames. and then throw some small stone at her window to get her attention. so she sees it. :)” Hahahah! Brilliant, until her father comes out with a shotgun. D= Or the police get 'em for arson. I don't know if the P.A. system would be the best choice. If you ask her and for some reason she DOES say no, it would be quite embarassing. I think instead you should try something like write a letter asking her to prom. Then put it in one of her…

Aye, it's best to try and not think about him too much. Try meeting some new guys. Maybe someone will be just what you're looking for if you stopped focusing on the past. =P And, if you and your friend are meant to be, you'll come back together eventually. So just live your life for now. Take care of yourself. =) Support Leader, ~James

Yeah.. I would probably just try and ask him to hang out again. Show him you're interested and everything. As the others have said, he might just be shy, and if that's the case, one of you will have to go a little bit further, first. So invite him to hang out. After a few times of hanging out *If he remembers and shows up*, I'd say tell him about your fellings for him. Really, there's no harm done if you tell him. A few days of awkwardness and then things should be back to normal. Good luck. =) …

Yeah, she's probably not really interested as much as it is she's just being a friend. As for her pictures, there are plenty of reasons why she could have done that. One being she wants privacy. The other being she likes to screw around with your head. And the third being she might have some... "personal" pictures on her phone lol. Anyways, yeah. I recommend you just stay friends and try not to fall for her. =P Good luck! Support Leader, ~James

She's giving you the signs that she likes you, I think. Really, the only way you'll know for sure is if you talk to her about it. Worst case scenario is things are awkward for a few days, but it'll go back to the way they were. So go for it. =) Good luck! Support Leader, ~James

As Erik said, it may be best to just go with the way things are for now until you're positive about his feelings. You turned him down in the past, and depending on how he feels about it now, he may turn you down, too, if you ask too soon. Just wait a few more weeks, see how things go. If he shows signs that he likes you, express your feelings to him. Oh, and about being busy.. It's okay if you can't spend the whole day together every day. As long as you can spend a bit of time each day, or set u…

Jenny's right. While you may be worried about the relationship and all, if she doesn't trust you, then there's a problem. I think you should try talking to her about it all. You haven't done anything in the past to warrent her distrust, and she should realize that. Try doing group activities so she can see for herself that you aren't a cheater or anything. Hopefully then she will begin to trust you. In the end, you'll have to decide if she's worth staying with if she won't even trust you, her ow…

If one tactic fails, it's time to try another. You've been trying the whole mysterious, silent guy routine, and it doesn't seem to work. Now it's time to try and be more.. outgoing. Ultimately, however, you need to be yourself. If you're naturally a quiet guy, try and talk a bit more, but don't change yourself just to get a girl. That would be 'living a lie', which doesn't work. Maybe the next time you talk to someone you like, try and find a "comfort zone." If you feel more comfortable talking …

As everyone has said, you need to talk to someone about this. You cannot live on your own when you're 16. With that being said.. What arguement did you have that would make your dad want to kick you out? Were you acting out in ways you shouldn't? *Please don't think I'm accusing you of anything, but sometimes people act ways that may not be acceptable without noticing it. If that's the case, you may want to stop for a second and think if maybe an attitude change is necessary.* If you cannot sett…

As the others have said, you're older than 18 now. Legally, there's nothing holding you back from moving out or anything like that. Do what you want with your life. If you have a job, save up some money. Find an apartment. You can still help your mom sometimes, but she can't be using you constantly and getting in the way of your own life. Be sure to explain it to her, too, and see if she understands. Good luck. =) Support Leader, ~James

What could have been, should have been, whatever.. Didn't. You can regret the past, but it won't help unless you change how your future is going to be. You're a freshman in highschool. You have 4 years to change things. You can either waste those 4 years, and when you graduate from highschool, look back and think of all the things you didn't do, OR you can use those 4 years to make your life better. Talk to people. Get active. Do things you like to do. All of those can really help your life. As …

As Owen said, you need to get your mind off things and take a breather. You can't handle every problem, and worrying about it will just make things worse. Talk to your family about how you feel, too. It may help for them to know that you're thinking about them. Things will look up soon, it just takes time. =) Support Leader, ~James

As Laura said, no one can make you self harm. That is a choice that you make. Of course, people can cause you to WANT to self harm, which may have been the case for you. I think your teacher wasn't trying to cause your stress, but was trying to help. Teachers are generally good people to talk to because they deal with people your age on a daily basis, and tend to have good knowledge about how life is for people that age. But that doesn't mean that all teachers are good to confide in. There are a…

Having no plans for your future can be a problem. I've noticed that people without plans tend to be more depressed. Try finding out what you want to do with your future. What interests do you have? Find a profession that will go along with them. Your situation with your friends is a bit complicated. But really, the solution is simple. When you go to parties or whatever, talk it up. Hang out with some people. You're bound to find some good friends who have similar interests if you go out and look…

Owen and Charley are both right. It's wrong to use the guy for experience. If she had feelings for him, I would say she should go for it, but it's obvious she doesn't, and saying yes to him would just lead him on and hurt him in the long run. Support Leader, ~James

You should just apologize for the joke, and ask her why it was such a big deal to her. Don't be offensive when you ask, but definitely find out why. There may be some good reason for why she acted the way she did. You wont' know until you talk to her. If she continues to act that way though, after the talk, you should probably forget about her and move on, because she may not be the right type of friend for you. Good luck. =) Support Leader, ~James

I think you should just ask him to hang out again. The last time the superbowl kind of stopped your plans, but hopefully this time things work out. And when you're hanging out, tell him how you feel about him. It does sound like he likes you, so there shouldn't be much to worry about. Good luck =) Support Leader, ~James

Some people tend to have a better intuiton than others. How has yours worked for you in the past? That's the only way you'll know if you should trust yours or not. Or you could look for other signs beyond your gut feeling. :tongue: As Owen said, the only true way to know if your feeling was right or not is to go and ask. If you have a feeling a girl likes you, talk to her. ;P Good luck. =) Support Leader, ~James
