16, F. my "bestfriend" became "bestfriends" w/ a guy who broke my heart, right after he did it. I told her I couldn't be her friend anymore b/c she rubbed it in my face. everyone thinks I'm the bad guy for "doing tht to her". If the situation were reversed, ik I'd still be @fault. This was when I was 14, didn't end the friendship 'til recently, &I'm in a happy relationship with my boyfriend of 10 mo's. I'm just tired of avoiding her & subsequently other mutual friends. should i fix things w/her?

I think you should either move on or talk to her. If you miss her, I would say sit down and talk to her and tell her why you ended your friendship. If she rebuffs you then she isn’t worth it anyway.

17, male. I've been depressed lately. My friends are too far away, and I don't get any recognition for what I do. I was popular back in high school but all things went down since college. Even in school, I don't perform as good as I used to. I just feel so unloved. I've constantly tried to keep myself distracted by going out, getting busy with drawings and other stuff but I still feel down most times of the day.

Maybe you should talk to someone professional about this if you think it’s truly depression or maybe you should make more friends. You say you love drawing? Join an art club or find another organization that coincides with your interests. You tend to always make friends with people you have something in common with. No one should ever feel like they’re ever alone especially when surrounded by people.

17, male. I met this guy online but he lives in the same country as I do; though he isn't very near either. Anyway I fell for him, and in a faster time than I imagined too. He's just that special. Lately, he gets kinda depressed a lot, but being far away makes it hard for me to help cheer him up. It seems I find all the wrong things to say too. I try so hard and I just don't want to lose him. Especially since he's slowly drifting away.

I would just continue talking to him as a friend and don’t give up on him. He needs people who care about him even tho he may not show it. If you really want to, plan a visit to see him. That’d cheer him up immensely.

Female. 14. I feel like when I grow up I have to be more serious because most adults are but I don't want to ever be serious, I want to have a sense of humor. I just feel like if I was that I'd be an outcast.

Getting older doesn’t mean growing up or losing a sense of humor. I’m 22 and I’m still a jackass. Shake your narrow notion of what being an adult is and stop wasting time thinking about the future when you’ve got your whole youth ahead of you.

19 male, my best guy friend and I have known each other since the beginning of high school, now we go to the same university. we're both gay and we were both each others first sexual experiences with guys. We've both had boyfriends and hookups but occasionally we seem to get together for a night or two. i really like him a lot and I feel there is always something underneath our friendship that can turn into something else, but I'm too afraid to say anything. Should I just move on?

Honestly I think your best bet would be to just move on. You are best friends and I’m sure you don’t want to ruin that. I recently dealt with a situation similar to yours so if you need anything more from me please message me.
