Teenage Problems and High School Dilemmas

[FloydtheBarber]

James, didn't you say she has another boyfriend now? Or is my memory failing me? I could've sworn you told me something to that effect.

She mentioned she was dating someone... :/

Besides what others think, how do you two get along? Is there any kind of spark?

We talk relatively often in school. She's definitely the girl I talk to the most in my daily life.

The thing is, for a while I was sarcastic a lot with her (I never thought she'd take it seriously, and I'm sarcastic with plenty of people). Some people construed this as me having a dislike for her, which couldn't be further from the truth.

One day though, a good friend of mine told me he took my sarcasm personally sometimes. I worried that this would be the case with her and others. I sent her this rambling apology in an email:

I've been thinking lately about how I act like a jerk to some people. My behavior lately has been totally out of character for me (you know that for sure). I never used to be sarcastic at all before this year. For whatever reason, I've turned into Mr. Sarcastic.

Today, on Facebook, I posted a sarcastic remark on a friend's page. He got very angry (I'm sarcastic to him a lot) and the argument that followed nearly ended our friendship. This finally showed me that my sarcasm does no good, and is making me shut out those closest to me.

I decided that I needed to apologize to all of those who were hurt by my sarcasm, and for obvious reasons you were one of the first people I thought to say sorry to. I know that you've been going through some rough stuff this year, and the crap I've been giving you is the last thing you need.

You're a very smart person and a very nice girl. You shouldn't have to get crap from me or anyone else over anything. I'm going to stop being sarcastic all the time (only when it's actually funny) and I'm going to try to generally treat people better.

Hopefully we can just forget about all of this stuff and just be friends.

P.S. Sorry for rambling on for so long.

And this is when I found out that she (and basically everyone else) was never even remotely offended by any of my sarcasm

i know youre only kidding lol dont worry about it

A real facepalm moment there. Now I'm worried that that apology would have came off as a little bit weird (or insincere, since I apologized to about 15 other people too).

I wonder if life just contains two alternate dimensions, the real world right now, and a secondary world where you go to when you die, and when you die there you come back to the real world and lose all your memories until you go back to the secondary world.

Deep thinking>thinking about girls

[YEAH DAAAAWG]

Anxiety = girl trouble being amplified times a million.

Well it seems like see liked the way you acted before your apology because she always talked to you anyway and her reaction to your letter. I would just keep being like yourself and but just dont get passive. Maybe take some initiative where if you share a class with her, ask her to maybe help you with homework or studying or do lunch if you can leave campus.

Is the girl in Poland worth the possible (probable) pain? If she is then go for it. If that doesn't work out then tell your best friend how you feel, IF you don't think it will hurt her. In my experience your age is the perfect age to go and get hurt and then learn from it. I am not encouraging to jump off a building and get hurt, but to take emotional chances and see what happens. The more you get hurt now and learn the process of dating and pain the much more adjusted adult you will be for it. And later on the girls WILL notice that.

8 in the morning and and I woke up to my best friend screaming in my ear to wake up

Anyone know a way to shut girls up without money; clothes; jewelry?

Dick in her mouth.

But how did she get in your house???

Mom let her in

She's very close to the family

Even if my mom didn't let her in, she has a key scary scary thought

[President]

I feel she is worth it, but i am giving it this one last chance, because I put my heart into writing what I wrote in the early hours of this morning, and if she rejects it, then she is rejecting who I am and how I feel, and there is no hope. My friend would not hurt from me telling her, I believe. But, i need to figure this out with Alicja first, and figure out what i am doing about her before I tell Maddie, especially since I sent this message to her. But thanks for your advice, and I do believe you are right, now is the time to take risks, to learn what is and is not right, what will and wont hurt. Now is the time to explore how far I can push myself for something i desire
