Post by: linkzpikachu on July 01, 2010, 06:48:09 pm
so my neighbor gave my phone number to a girl who rides his bus a while back, we have been texting since and i found out she is coming to my school next year. however today she left me a viocemail saying "dont text me or call me my cousin died today" it was the first time i have heard her vioce, then she posted something kinda depressing on facebook and i fear for her. i have no idea what to make of it

That's weird, but kids are weird. I dunno. Seems strange she'd tell you that.

Weird, yes. When I was a freshman in high school, I called this girl. She answered, chatted with me for about 30 seconds and then said she had to go because her phone was broken. She just didn't want to talk to me. ;)

It's normal to be depressed when a family member dies.  Give her a few days to grieve and then text her again and ask her how she's doing.

... I'm with ericj, kids are weird. I'm also with UglyJoe, she's going through a grieving period. I'm wondering if the depressing stuff on facebook would also indicate a personality change where she is becoming an emo.... taht's just speculation on my part but have seen it happen.

To me, her asking you not to talk to her is a way of saying "help me feel better if you care enough" but I get these things wrong enough and who knows, the whole thing seems a little weird to me anyway to be honest.

i was talking to my friend (who is a girl) over FB chat saying "im outside your door and window" and now her boyfriend wants to fight me, i know i should avoid it but he said he was gonna get himself supended the first day of school by fighting me, right now im just think of letting have at me so he will get suspended and be happy and i will be the one still at school and look like the smart one, what do you think?

When he starts to fight, start making a racket, and he'll get suspended probably.

This might sound crazy to you, but this is why most male/female friendships fade in the years after school.  It's just too easy for jealousy to develop between a couple that can't be easily repaired.  A lot of people I've said this to often retort with "Well, they should learn to trust their partner", but that's not actually the right question that needs to be asked.  The real question is, "What is it that I need from this other person that my partner isn't providing?"  When they figure that out, it's time to grab their partner and... discuss!

As for the whole fight thing - not worth it.  Swolen face, concussion, looking awful for your first couple weeks at school.  It's not worth the other guy's suspension.  It'll feel good the first day, but the soreness from getting clobbered that'll last for a week or more isn't.  That, and your friend may get really pissed at you if her boyfriend gets suspended, even though he's the one that hit you.

1.hes a bad boy she wont get pissed at me 2.i know the wounds arent worth it, what im saying is that i will refuse to fight to make him look worse 3.the guy needs to learn how to take a joke, i know he offended by it but he just doesnt know my humor so i think thats why

In my mind, these type of questions have no place on FW. Regardless, my "two cents" are as follows

*Most* Middle and High School relationships end just as quickly as they start, so if you're lucky, by September, it'll be over and he won't care anymore. That being said, is he much bigger than you? If you were really determined, you could get a gym membership and train from now until then, and proceed to kick his ass.

The bad part of this whole thing is just how easily it could have been avoided. No offense, but to me, you seem slightly socially awkward (I am too, to a point, thing is I'm smart, so fuck off, society :P) anyone with a bf/gf is no-no territory when it comes to any kind of joke like that. You were obviously joking, but guys, especially, like to blow things out of proportion, so they make "Betsy" feel special and like he's going out of his way to "protect" her.

My point is, it very well could be over by then, but if you do have to fight, unless he's huge, don't just be a pussy (am I allowed to say "pussy" on FW?) and take it. Fight back, stand up for yourself! You won't find many girls in high school who'll date a nerd-pussy, at least you won't at MY high school.  :(

Don't lose sleep over it, man.

i know its no-no territory but he needs to deal with the fact that she has other friends too and he cant control he life if i had a GF and they explain the joke to me i would be fine the only way i would care is if hes flirting with her or disrespecting her honestly

Well over time I've learned that you can't base things on what YOU would do. Everyone's different.

I'm with L___E___T here. In my experience, when someone goes through something traumatic like the death of a family member, they may say they want to be alone, but in reality they need someones shoulder to cry on. How did things go with this?

Not to mention the fact, that at the time it may seem like something you would do, but when it comes time for you to act that way, the story usually changes. (I am not pointing fingers at you specifically; I think everyone is the same.)

This is the truth.  I've had good friends say what you've said, and then turn around and act just like this guy.  Frankly, such behavior isn't limited to just "bad boys".  The only difference between them and other guys is they're manipulative in their reactions to what's going on.  Other guys still feel the same kind of betrayal (because that's really what it boils down to in the long run), they just handle it in more constructive ways. 

Also, gym membership.  Great suggestion, Peps1  :).

Now why on earth would you want to be around someone who verbally abuses you?

Trust me when I say this. There is always someone better. Keep your chin up, and you'll see.

In my experience it's very easy to avoid a fight. Simply laugh it off, walk away, and make the person believe that you refuse to fight.

He'll probably be broken up with her by the time school starts anyways. Most guys are pussies with big mouths, so I wouldn't worry about him and what he says he's gonna do. If he would really fight you over that, he's a moron.

BUT, in the future, try not to be so creepy with the ladies. I'd be a little weirded out by what you said, too. You sound like a creepy, weirdo stalker saying stuff like that. Especially since you're from "way back in da hills of North Carolina." That shit has Deliverance written all over it...

Let him hit you and pretend to be dead. Just lie there on the floor and don't move. Everyone will freak out and hate him forever.

Or just lay down some sweet "yo mama" jokes. Those always work.
