Problem thread!
Okay, I had an idea for a thread. If somone is going through a problem, they post it on the thread. If you read a post that has a similar problem to one you went through, you post what you did to solve the problem. It's basically so that experienced people can share their knowledge, and inexperienced people can learn.
My problem involves... boys. *Blushes* I know one boy who likes me, but he moved to Florida. I know another boy who is in my class, and I have a crush on him. My problem is, I don't want to hurt the boy in Florida.

I'd say that you should just not tell the boy in Florida, and see if maybe you end up having a crush on him, in the end. I usually fall for boys I know, so, yeah, that might happen.
My problem is pretty dumb, actually. It also involves boys. (best friend who also goes here, don't bust my cover!) I did something for a week recently, and I fell for a few boys, but mostly one. He was nice to me, and he was my friend, and he wanted to hang out with me and get to know me. Usually no one wants to talk to me, but I was the popular kid for once. He really could see through my skin. We're both pretty misunderstood. But then the week ended, and I hadn't even thought about getting my new friends' email addresses, including his. I won't be able to see him for a year, at least. I thought about looking him up in the phonebook, but he might not remember me. I am severely heartbroken, and I dream about him all the time. It's really grating on me, and it's becoming noticeable. What can I do? Please, I need help from you chatterboxers.

Oh my goodness. that so happened to me. I met a guy at summer camp, lets call him Mark, and i didn't even get his number or anything. I only get to see him in the summer at camp. But he only lives like 20 minutes away, but he goes to a different school. does he have a facebook or anything? try looking him up on that. As to the original post, he moved to Florida. You may not ever see him again. Go for the other guy.

Yes, I agree with Moonshine. Good advice. My boy problem.. complicated.
So before I liked him he asked me out and I said no, but now I like him and we hang out all the time, but he has a girlfriend that he really likes a lot, and she is crazy about him. So yeah. He used to like me, but I'm not sure if he does, and the girl's one of the most popular in the grade, and she's my friend, so it's not like I want her, or me, to get hurt or anything.
Bleck. Boys stink.
(January 28, 2010 - 7:42 pm)
((Not Chris Hemsworth. He doesn't stink. :D :D Lol. My friend and I were looking at a pic we had printed out of him while we were typing and our teacher comes over and goes "Who's that?" My friend was all like "Umm, no one!" and shoved the picture under her binder. He just laughed and said we were crazy. That teacher likes to tease my any my friend. He's always like "Oh my gosh! What is wrong with you guys today! Your so hyper!" Well, I guess sing the batman theme song while typing a letter to a news station and looking at a pic of Chris Hemsworth does kinda qualify us as crazy . . .))
There are no cute boys at my school this year. Sigh. Though, this isn't truly a "I have a problem" or "I have advice" post. Sorry. I'll leave now . . . Lol. :D :D

Thanks for the help, you guys. Don't Need To Know, the best thing to do would be to try and find him on Facebook or get his email or something. Then you could send him something like "Do you remember me? My name is ____" If he didn't remember you, keep in touch. You can always meet him again.
(January 29, 2010 - 8:10 am)
The problem is, my mom won't let me do Facebook! I've tried looking up his email online, but all the places you have to pay for it!!!! It's totally awful. I don't know what to do. *sigh* Well, at least I have this good feeling that he might like me. One time, one of my friends who's a little younger than me had Hershey's kisses in her dinner. I asked her if I could have one, because she was freely giving them to other people, and she knows how to push my buttons, so she kept saying no (she finally gave me one). Then the dude I like (we'll call him Justin Timberlake, since that was his nickname) was just like, "She's not gonna give one to you, because you're Stromboli Jr." We were doing something involving Pinocchio at the time, that week, so the evil puppet master was Stromboli. All the boys were calling me that by the end of the week. Do you think he likes me? I hope he does......also, if he sends me a Valentine, I know what his handwriting looks like, so I could totally bust him the next time I see him.
(January 29, 2010 - 9:54 pm)
Yeah.. he probably does! I know what it looks like when a boy likes you, because two of them have actually admitted it to me.
(January 30, 2010 - 9:10 am)
Perhaps you know someone else who knows him? Like if he was at a camp (for instance), maybe you know someone who was in his cabin or whatever and you could ask them for his e-mail. Sorry if this doesn't help...

First, before anyone reads my name and says, "Ha, that's not that secret... I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!", I'm not trying to be secret; I enjoy spelling my name backwards.
Second, in answer to your problem... Don't worry about the guy in FL. Yes, it's sad, and especially for him, but he shouldn't get offended if you go out with someone else, because he lives half a country away. Go ahead and like the other guy. The Floridian will meet another girl eventually (hopefully). Maybe he'll meet Allison. (:
Third. My problem. Pretty much life. Ha. Well, before I go on and write 38 paragraphs about nothing that no one will read, I'll choose one topic. Hmm.
Okay, here's one. There's this guy who I'll call "Matt". I like him and he likes me. We see each other at our youth group. Like the first week, he chose me as his partner for an activity, and ever since then we've done everything together. He's a really strong Christian and we've prayed together so many times just about everything. I've never had a real Christian friend before, so this really boosted my faith (which as you know is a good thing). And he's hot. And he skateboards! Could he be more perfect?!
But yeah, suddenly, the other week, the girl I get a ride to youth group with told me she doesn't want to go to youth group anymore because it's too social (she's, umm, a character). She's been taking me since like 2008, and now I have to stop going. So yeah, I've gone a few weeks without seeing "Matt", because I don't see him anywhere else and he's not on Facebook much, and now I feel like I'm dying. Not like some wimpy girl who's sad over some boy, but more like I miss my Christian friend like heck. Soo. I'm not pro at getting over guys. How can I, especially since I know he still likes me, manage to get over him and know that there's some other perfect, funny, cute, Christian, skateboarding guy out there?
Haha, sorry for typing so much. I tend to do that. I don't talk much in RL, though. (:

First off, I want to say that I'm directly replying to Kenzie's post, not anyone else's. Just for the record. I don't want to make anyone feel bad, and I might respond to others later. Okay, now Kenzie, I want to say that your name is awesome backwards! And with the cool capitalization too!
Now, down to business. Can you find a ride with someone else?? I mean it sounds pretty logical, but I know it's complicated. Can you find out more about this 'Matt' somehow and see if you can meet up with him in other ways? It sounds like you guys really clicked and it would be super unfair if you couldn't see him again. I'm sorry I don't know any perfect, funny, cute, Christian, skateboarding guys, but I'd certainly let you know if I found one. :D Unfortunately, we live pretty far away, so that'd be hard. If you could convince someone to take you to your youth group at least one more time, you could get contact info from him if he's there and then see him at other times. But it really sounds like a problem that isn't totally hopeless. I hope. :)
Okay, now for my problem. I might post this in Pudding's Place, because it fits there, but I thought I might as well post it in the logical place first. So, I grew up living on classical music. My whole life from the time I was born, I was nurtured with those sounds. Now I'm older and I realize I don't really fit in with the rest of society. I still love classical music and also fiddle music and I don't know a lot of pop songs. I'm trying to 'popify' myself and at least expose myself to the kind of music my friends listen to. Whenever I hear a song, I look it up on YouTube and find the lyrics so I know it. Some stuff I immediately hate, and others I can tolerate. Just wondering if any of you out there could help raise my modern music awareness?? Or just any kind of music, really. Thanks guys!

Leaf, you shouldn't care so much about what everyone else thinks. If you like the music, listen to it. My fav genres are pop and alternative, but I hate a lot of songs that play on the radio station everyone listens to. And guess what? No one cares! Hahahha Isn't that great? Sorry. Got a little crazy there.
And Kenzie, he sounds amazing. Does he have a phone or email? Or a brother? haha. I guess you should try and find another ride. Sorry if I'm not much help.
(February 7, 2010 - 1:30 pm)
OHHHH Kenzie I'm so sorry for you! I know how you feel! I just recently had to stop going to youth group at my church too, because my friends can't pick me up anymore! :( It's so sad.
(February 8, 2010 - 3:48 pm)
:( Awww, sorry! Is there anyone else who can take you? Haha, I bet Cramer would, if he goes. (:

You guys are all lucky. I really have no way of meeting any boys. I really don't do any activities where boys are involved. And, of course, I'm homeschooled :( and its just sad. Girls on my soccer team constantly talk about boys and it's so annoying. In my defense, though, we are 11-15 (I think). Come on, we have better things to worry about than boys!!!!!!! Boys as friends are fine. I guess I'm just upset. I can't say I've met really any boys and it's sad.
