Heather pretty much hit the nail on the head. Also, if you're this miserable at home maybe you could try talking to your parents. Maybe you could start paying them rent and in return have a little more freedom? You could try to reach an agreement where both parties are satisfied. It can't hurt to try, right? Hope things get better.

Your parents are looking out for your best interest, so it's best to respect their opinions. Eventually though you will be making your own decisions. Maybe you could talk to them and set up some sort of supervised date. Maybe they will become more comfortable with that at first. Ask them to meet you half way in letting you out late. If you want to be out until 10 and they want you home at 6. Ask if you can be out until 8:30. You just have to keep asking and working with them. Or if you are able …

The older you get the more age becomes less and less important. Long distance can work, if they both keep up with it. As a few have said girls often like older guys because they tend to be a bit more on their maturity level, so it's definitely not weird.

It's hard to say, since she hasn't told you she does or doesn't. Plus like you said, it could just be coincidence that those things happen. Maybe you should try asking her? Certainly you like her and would like to be with her, so asking her would be the next step. Just try pulling her aside some day and talk about it with her. I'm sure she'll respect your feelings and give you a straight answer. I don't think there is anything you can do to MAKE her like you. Plus, you wouldn't want that anyways…

Very moving. Only thing I would critique would be to try to make your words flow together. Poetry is suppose to be lyrical and soft. It takes practice, but it will come to you. Keep writing.

Very cute and well written.

I love it. Short and sweet.

I enjoyed the story, but I would probably make a few changes... Just as suggestions... Repeated words. For example: "I feel the cool breeze pushing against my face, and blowing my hair back towards my neck, it feels good. Not really good, like how I feel when I'm with you, but it was good all the same." Look at how many times the word good is there within two sentences. Try changing the sentences around to eliminate your use of the word. While sometimes they are necessary, it can dull your story…

Absolutely beautiful.

Hm, I'm not that fond of rhyming poems. I guess I'm more of a contemporary poet. Poetry magazines and the like just don't usually publish rhyming poetry anymore. But, for not being quite fond of it, I enjoy it. Maybe you could try ID'ing with the person you're talking about. I like that you're telling a story and you have a few points where you tell us what she's thinking and feeling in the first few lines, maybe try to keep that tone. It would certainly bring more emotion to the poem.

Quote from Doubt: “I'm seventeen but I've never had a boyfriend/girlfriend. What am I doing wrong? It hasn't bother me, but now all my friends are pairing off! Am I doing something wrong? I'm quite a shy person and don't have many male friends, but as I've no dating experience I'm starting to feel scared of the idea! D:> Please give me some advice! I'd really like to attract friendly guys who won't mind a shy, silly girl like me!” It's more common than you think to not have a boyfriend at sevent…

Quote from jesss: “Well yeah ok, i was just asking this question because i was curious if any of you guys had ever been through something like this. im not dwelling on it, because i have a boyfriend now. but i was just wondering, why? :blush:” Who knows. Boys are silly and are often more shy than we are. They generally have little mind games they like to play with us by teasing us or whatnot because that's their way of showing they like us. It's silly, but it's how they work. Thankfully, as they…

They could, but its not going to fix everything remember. She probably does need to seek a professional and get some help for her insecurities.

All he can say is no. Maybe he'd like to play pool at a bar?

I'm proud of you, because lots of people get frustrated and move on. Just make sure her depression isn't making you miserable also. Its good to help someone until it starts to take a toll on your mental health too.

Well you could ask him to start?

I think she's a normal teenager. Ita hard to know what you want at such a young age. She's having a hard time knowing what she wants. Which is why having relationships at young ages tend not to work out. And you're probably right she probably is depressed. I would try talking to her again about and explain that lots of people in their teenage years have depression. Its okay to have those feelings, but there are ways to treat it medically and nonmedically. As for you, its really up to you. It see…

I agree with the former, I don't really see a point in telling him. Its not going to cause any life or death situations. Maybe find out why he wanted to know?

I say add him. It's not going to hurt anything. He may want to talk to you too. There are things I'm sure that both of you may want to talk about. If he doesn't add you back, then its really going to show his maturity level and that your life will be better off without him. But I personally think he'll want to talk to you afterall you all had a close friendship. Hope this helps you and good luck.

Hm, well you could ask him to go out after work, like for coffee or something? Or ask him to go bowling or something with a group of your friends if that would be less weird. Get to know him better and maybe you'll feel more comfortable telling him your sexuality and just feel better around him in general. That way you're out of the work environment and away from people making smart remarks and makes for a comfortable surrounding. Maybe you'll feel like you can trust him enough to talk about it …
