Supposedly Eric Harris and his friends were bullied, and that's why they did it. They claimed their classmates brought it upon themselves. Do you think this is true? Do you think it ultimately could have been avoided?
Looking for personal opinion here, I've got my own. I want yours.
Do you think that Eric Harris's classmates were to blame for Columbine?
absolutely not- though there is never an excuse for bullying- there is never an excuse for this kind of retaliation.
The accountability lies with:
Eric - he obviously had some problems and either chose not to or did not have the ability to seek out help- somewhere in him he must have known what he was planning was heinous and avoidable
His parents- it was their responsibility to know what he was involved with, what he had in his room (under THEIR roof)
Teachers and school officials - who saw signs of disturbed behavior and thought processes and did not pursue some type of course to bring it to his parents attention, get counseling, something
AND unless I am mistaken, I thought I heard he was on some type of antidepressant, pharmaceutical - the pharmacuetical companies who KNOW there are natural cures for depression and anxiety and continue to push legal drugs on kids that consistantly have disturbing side effects.
Yes this could have been avoided , bullies have been around for years and personally I don't think that bullying in general has gotten much worse over the past 20 years- they have been here forever and will likely be here forever- they are a convenient scapegoat so the responsible parties don't have to take responsibility. What has changed in the past 20 years is parents are disconnected, home and involved in their kids lives a whole lot less then ever AND more kids are on more legal drugs where the long term side effects are not known and the average side effects are trivialized to the point of keeping the public as ignorant and dependant as possible, this and throw in childrens nutriotional needs are not being met- their brains are starving - processed foods and chemicals - diets are getting worse and worse from younger and younger ages.
The perfect mix for a brain that cannot function properly and is bound to lead a confused and sick child out of control
Reply:Bullying is no excuse for what these two did. What happened to standing up for yourself? Sometimes you have too, it's a fact of life. As a man, you do this with your fists, not guns.
I don't think anyone ever told those kids that things would be ok. Keep fighting, eventually you graduate and hopefully go on to better things.
I also believe that the parents probably didn't pay attention to them. Let your kids know you love them or they will turn out ****** up.
They also committed multiple felonies in obtaining and making their weapons.They were already criminals before this happened.
You cannot blame their classmates for their horrificly selfish and desperate act.
Reply:I think more jerks should be killed. Yes, they probably had something coming, but murder is too much.
Reply:If they are guilty of harassing these boys, then yes, they did bring this upon themselves. I don't think they deserved the death penalty, but that was the chance they took when they decided to make someone else's life a living hell. There is no way to know how someone will react to constant abuse. I am not excusing or encouraging violent retaliation to bullying, but it can be one outcome. All students should be protected from bullying at school, regardless of the social status of the victim or offender. That is part of the problem. Even at a young age we learn who counts and who doesn't, and adults are guilty of selectively enforcing the rules in many cases.
Reply:They may well have been bullied and that in itself is bad.It may well have been the catalyst to set the terrible chain of events in motion but is not an excuse for mass murder

Do you often get together with your classmates?
Do you often spare your time for your classmates or friends?And then what do you do ?
Do you often get together with your classmates?
yes, we always have yearly reunions.
usually we just go to the beach or hang-out to someone's house and catch up on each other's lives.
Reply:I don't usually get together with classmates... unless a hot girl asks me to study.. which has happened :)
Reply:Yes of course! During the class you have to concentrate but during vacant periods i spend time with my classmates. Sometimes group studies or sharing some ideas. You need not to always put your head on your books you also need to socialize with others, it's also a part of going to school having friends and socialize with them. In school sometimes when the intramurals arrived our class went out to practice for the sports we have. In that we also spend time together, going out for lunch and after sometimes going around for window shopping. Classmates became also friends and sometimes bonding gets thicker. For me I gained at lot of friends at school.
Reply:yes i do. i always stick to them %26amp; thay do the same to me. we go out, make projrcts, eat lunch, %26amp; help each other everyday.. that's the way of our BONDING.. ^_^

I sent someone an e-mail on classmates.com and I got a reply. They want me to pay with a credit card to read?
Is there a way to read the e-mail without paying? I did get an offer from classmates.com for a free 7 day trial (but they still want a credit card to use when the trail is up). Does anyone have any ideas?
I sent someone an e-mail on classmates.com and I got a reply. They want me to pay with a credit card to read?
I am on the Classmates site. It is not bad because they want about 50.00 dollars to join but that is for 2 years. I have found a lot of friends from school on their and it is nice to find the people you went to school with even in kindergarten. You might try to put the persons name in the yahoo search where it says to find people. You cane try to put their name @yahoo.com, maybe something will come back. If you can give me their name I can go to the site and find it for you and send you the information, I think. I need how she writes her name on their _____@classmates.com Kat

Reply:Thats the routine! They told me the same thing. If I were you ,and wanted to reach an old friend,I'd find another way!
Reply:don't give them any credit card information.
Reply:So if you sent your classmate an e-mail that she replied to, why not send her another asking them to reply to your yahoo account. My wife is in a similar situation. She entered all her information on the classmates site, and now gets all these e-mails about how great the site is, and a whole bunch of advertising from Classmates.com, and one reminder that she has an e-mail from a classmate. The odd thing is, although this person went to her school, she was never in any of my wife's classes, and never spoke to her.
And we sure are not about to give them money.

Contacted an old bully I found on Classmates.com. Tough guy won't answer my emails?
He was the terror of our middle school. He was bigger and tougher than all of us. He punched, kicked, insulted, and threatened several of us for years.
He was supposed to be the highlight for some of us at the 20 year high school reunion. It was payback time. 5'9'' scared me at 13 when I was 5'5", but it doesn't worry me now that I'm 6'0".
I typed in his info on a public data sight. He never grew an inch after 8th grade. Here's the big secret he kept from all of us: he was actually two years older than all of us.
Back in the 80s, he said he would kick my a-- if I showed up at the reunion. I showed up, he didn't. Not a single school bully showed up.
I sent him an email through Classmates.com that had some insults. He read it, but no reply. I would like to get at least an "F*you" for old times sake, but I didn't even get that.
I'm having a hard time letting it go. This idiot tortured me nearly every day for years. I never got justice.
How can I let it go?
Contacted an old bully I found on Classmates.com. Tough guy won't answer my emails?
If you had your 20 year high school reunion then my suspicions that we are close to the same age have proven correct.
I thought this by reading your questions and answers here. They just sound to much like what someone "Our" age would write.
(I have a few years on you)
I'm sure by now you have probably noticed something about the people you knew from school.
Most all the "Bullies" are now either in jail or unemployed or working a near minimum wage job while still living with their parents and some even got so hard into drugs later in life that they now are mindless dweebs that everyone pushes around while they beg for change.
Also, The "Hot girls" that would have never given the average guy a second look or even said "Hi" back now have children from three different marriages and are currently single with little hope of getting with a guy worth his salt since they lost those good looks. Maybe not completely lost all the looks but nothing like they had. Now they troll the bars hoping to find "Mr. Right" with no idea he isn't in a bar.
How can you let it go? Think about what I just said. Maybe karma has a way of evening things up/getting revenge.
Maybe it done a better job then you could have.
Sounds odd coming from me, A guy that don't believe in either luck or karma but,, Once witnessed, And I have seen this, It's hard to deny that life has been harder on most the bullies and stuck up girls than anyone of us could be.
Maybe that's how you can let go.
Reply:you always do things you regrat...just move on, you already had your closure...you confronted him, you swore,now is the time to move on.
Reply:Maybe he is in jail and couldn't attend....
Nice thought, huh?
Reply:When I was in junior high school years ago in NYC, we had the same situation. The school bully was left-back at least 3 times and was 4 yrs older than us. Because of his large size, even the teachers were intimidated by him.
A pure antisocial, he never participated in class...nor did he bring any books. He just wanted to be considered popular, altho everyone hated this egocentric buffoon. Every morning he'd tell us, "who ahma git today?", followed with a sinister grin.
Following my Dad's advice, when it was 'my turn' I surprised the jerk very intensly , he lost so much face he emotionally shrunk in front of almost the whole school, thus ending his bullying...
How do you let it go? The fact that the coward doesn't rspnd to your email reveals that he's too chicken to answer. He remembers but doesn't have the mental tools to respond. He knows he's a coward. I hope knowing this satisfies you.
PS: This big dummy years later intimidated a guy whom he didn't know was a tae kwon do expert... the rest is history.
Reply:you can start by moving on with your life? you're not in high school anymore. besides that was 8th grade.. he was a teenager! maybe he didnt cuss you back because he is a different person now? you make it sound like he really traumatized you through school.
how about looking at it this way:
if not for him, you wouldnt be bigger and stronger and have a black belt right now.. after all.. he was the motivation for it in the first place right? you should be satisfied knowing that noone will dare bully you now that you can defend yourself.. thanks to him! life is too short for this stuff dude just move on it isnt worth it
p.s.- im curious.. how do u know he read your email if he didnt reply?
Reply:forget him. As long as you made your point, its over. he might actually be scared of you...haha!
Reply:Sounds like he's hiding. He is probably a loser now. That is what most bullies are. Sounds like you won to me. Let it go. If fate every brings you face to face, kick his butt.

I have the biggest crush on my classmates brother, what can I do?
After school; I and my classmates brother (we both go to the same school), we talked about school friends, people who used to go here.
Later on, I realized I was in love with him; and I never felt this way about a guy.

Why do i blush whenever my classmates tease me?
my bestfriend and i always hang out together, we eat lunch together and walk with each other when going home. the problem is my bestfriend is a boy, so my classmates always thinks we're bfgf but really we're just bestfriends.
Why do i blush whenever my classmates tease me?
so you like him, not yet wait for a sign or wait til you thinks he likes you too, you don't want to spoil your great friendship...
gud luck!

Reply:Don't worry! I have a male friend too (Im a girl btw) and he is my good friend we chill and were a pretty good friend-paring. People think that we SHOULD go out. My teacher embrassed me once when he was talking to me he is like "(Hisname), stop flirting with (then my name)" and then everyone saw him blush then I started blushing too. Its normal. Everyone does it! Even the teachers to kids ;P You'll get use to it probably. I did. They're just immature, ignore them :D
Reply:Maybe you blush because they embarress you in front of your best friend. Or maybe you blush because you have a secret crush on him?
Reply:maybe the kids that tease you r just jealous maybe even ure bff thats a boy likes u. gets a girl bff to ask him if he likes u the kids will probably stop teasing u if u just go out. they r jealous they know u guys like each other i know u do
Reply:Maybe you blush because deep down, you kind of like him. That's ok!
Reply:It is because you are embarassed and unconfident. I used to be like that. Don't sweat it. Also, You should work on learning how to 'not give a ****' basically. Who cares what others say about you. You know who you are and where you came from, you have your friends, family, and those who respect you for who you are, so you dont have to worry about anything else. Besides, you should think to yourself, Whats the worst that could happen with them teasing you?? Dont worry, you will eventually grow out of it. I did. =]

Reply:people are imature theese days:[
just ignore them.
Reply:Don't worry! I have a male friend too (Im a girl btw) and he is my good friend we chill and were a pretty good friend-paring. People think that we SHOULD go out. My teacher embrassed me once when he was talking to me he is like "(Hisname), stop flirting with (then my name)" and then everyone saw him blush then I started blushing too. Its normal. Everyone does it! Even the teachers to kids ;P You'll get use to it probably. I did. They're just immature, ignore them :D
Reply:Maybe you blush because they embarress you in front of your best friend. Or maybe you blush because you have a secret crush on him?
Reply:maybe the kids that tease you r just jealous maybe even ure bff thats a boy likes u. gets a girl bff to ask him if he likes u the kids will probably stop teasing u if u just go out. they r jealous they know u guys like each other i know u do
Reply:Maybe you blush because deep down, you kind of like him. That's ok!
Reply:It is because you are embarassed and unconfident. I used to be like that. Don't sweat it. Also, You should work on learning how to 'not give a ****' basically. Who cares what others say about you. You know who you are and where you came from, you have your friends, family, and those who respect you for who you are, so you dont have to worry about anything else. Besides, you should think to yourself, Whats the worst that could happen with them teasing you?? Dont worry, you will eventually grow out of it. I did. =]
Reply:just tell people you guys are dating and they will stop, trust me i did this and it was never brought up again

Should I give valentines day cards to my SOB classmates?
As I stated in my topic in titled Huge teasing problem. I have classmates who are at best mean to me and at worse abusive S.O.B.s Now I've always been taught that people should be nice to people who are mean to them and that might make them nicer. As such I was thinking of making valentines for those guys, my evil classmates. Should I? Do you think it would help?
Should I give valentines day cards to my SOB classmates?
Not quite the same scenario, but when I was early on in gradeschool, I scooped some cat poop into anonymous valentines cards, and slipped them into my classmates 'cubbies' or boxes.
Reply:I say anyone that violates your basic human rights like that has forfeited their's. I also agree that it would give them the impression that they can act like that towards you and get away with it.

I feeel so ugly around my classmates.?
i'm not the best looking i'm just average but sometimes i feel so ugly when i'm standing next to one of my classmates who have a beautiful body with all teh curves and pretty eyes and everything and me. i'm pretty short, and pretty small and my face just looks plain out flat and my eyes don't have an amazing color they're jut brown.
when i;m alone i feel fine, i don't beat my self over it. it just makes me feel veryy belittled.
is that normal?

susan... we all feel insecure at some points in our lives
it's part of being human....
but...you have to love yourself....
because you are beautiful already.
don't think of yourself as short..think of yourself as petite.
brown eyes are gorgeous...
play with make-up to enhance them!
don't be so hard on youself..
don't compare yourself to anyone else...
just be you!
Reply:Yes, you are stressing and be confident to yourself.
Reply:Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, feels that way every once in a while. Even the people you look at and compare yourself to feel that way when they look at certain people. Life is truly too short to feel bad about the things you can't change. Love yourself, babe.
Reply:yes its normal we all feel like that sometimes im 5'6 and i have really pretty eyes (well so ppl say) and i fell like that to sometimes. its just that we tend to pick out all the things about us that we don't like and don't focuse on the positive things about us. so just stop focusing on what they have that you don't i should be taking this advice also cuz i feel ugly when i think about all the "bad" things about me too. lol. but when i think about the pretty things i have then i feel pretty so try doing that.
Reply:Your problem is with your self-esteem, not your looks! Try this, when you feel ugly, say to yourself, I'm beautiful! Keep doing this until you believe it. In the morning look into a mirror and say it 5 times - with feeling. Find your good points, and remind yourself of them every day. Every time when you feel ugly, replace this with, I have beautiful brown eyes, pretty hair and so on.This will take time, and work. Don't give up.
Reply:Try ultra hard to make the things that you can change (e.g.: hair, make-up, clothes, accessories) about yourself look super pretty if you don't feel it now. I'm sure you're not that bad at all! The Lord made just as many good qualities about your body as He did bad qualities.
Reply:Eat a lot of peanut butter.
Reply:Yes it's normal. Women are always comparing themselves with other women and even the prettiest girls always find something wrong with their looks. Make yourself look as good as possible(make-up,diet,exercise) and then stop comparing. Work on your personality instead. Everyone loves a warm,caring, friendly person. Looks aren't everything.
Cleopatra was ugly and look how successful she was!

Reply:sure that is very normal...just don't worry accept ur self as is =)
Reply:yes this is very normal for every teenager im 14 and i fell that way i the time so no need to worry
Reply:Be proud of who you are and how you look! Smile as often as you can, it really helps. Many men like a "Plain Jane", better than a high maintenance gal!!!
Reply:Yeah, I think it's normal, but hopefully you can learn to give yourself a break. I did the same thing when I was younger, and still do at times even though it's a bit different with me..an older guy...lol
As far as your looks go, while you may not feel that great looking, you might be surprised as who finds you attractive. Just hang around and see what happens. Plus this sounds stupid, but if you are a sweet person, that will also shine thru.
Reply:oh sweet child, u are unique and no one is like you, enjoy your youth and innocence and live and love, just be happy *)
Reply:You are NOT ugly! You are a beautiful and unique person- I can tell that you have a great heart and I bet your friends feel the same way when they stand next to you!!!!
Reply:I have Brown eyes too but I wear make up on try. You should put some make up,like putting some pink eyeshadow and lip gloss. Also wear some cool clothes.
Reply:It's ok to feel belittled sometimes with friends that u think look more attractive than u, but don't beat urself over it.... just try to boost ur confidence by telling urself ur beautiful, cuz everybody is in their own way, (not being corny or anything, but everybody is... some people have beautiful eyes or gorgeous lips, and a nice nose) try using some make-up, and changing ur hairstyle every so often... and mayb going shopping with ur friends, and get some clothes like they wear (not exactly the same, but that kind of style)
what u should do, is use Lash Exact mascara from cover girl, and maybe some black eye liner to bring out ur eyes, and some shiny-licious lip gloss from Maybelline New York in a color that works with u... it'll make ur lips look juicy, and plump...also try some eye shadow sometimes that matches with ur outfit to bring out the brown in ur eyes even more...
belts and cute shoes/boots look great with coordinated outfits too... try uggs, or boots with (fake) fur and heels....
and don't forget body mist...=) go to bath and body works and get a sweet, feminine body spray.... try a flower type or a tropical fruit one too!!!!!
Reply:I've said this to about 4-5 other girls lately...be the best you that you can be. Looks fade and are superficial. If you're that concerned w/the way you look wear some make-up and get colored contacts.Dye your hair. Just be yourself and you'll be better for it I promise! G.
P.S. Anyway who's to say when those type stand next to you they're not thinking something similar about you.Wishing they were more like you! Huh?
Reply:hey girl....dont feel that way everyone is beautiful in their own way
Reply:Normal, happens to everybody. When somebody is better than you you can't help just feel you are not pretty. I feel that way too sometimes
Reply:it is completley normal and sometimes i feel the same way there is always going to be someone who you feel is prettier but as long as you are happy with who you are inside that is what is important right now it doesn't feel that way but in the real world it works you will find somebody who adores you and just tell yourself in the mirror that you are pretty because nobody else can take away how you feel about yourself and don't compare yourself to others because that will make you feel bad look for your strengths instead of your weaknesses
Reply:Actually, it is fairly normal that school age girls either feel pretty or ugly. Seems this will never changed. It has been the case since the beginning of modern civilization. I'm sure it was around from the very beginning of time. The old testament has a number of "jealous" girls and women.
I wouldn't worry about it. You have a couple of choices. Change your look, hair style, make up. Change your clothes - anyone very small can look good in almost anything, but if you are short, ware shoes with thick soles and heals. It makes you appear taller. Shoes should be minimal in style, but with a pointed toe. Makes your legs look longer so you seem taller.
Now, if you don't want to be miserable all the time, warring uncomfortable clothes and shoes and covered in cosmetics; you can remain yourself and let time heal your ego problem.
Reply:don't think about it like that, be happy with what you are and what you have

I feel the same way some times, but then i remember that all they have are their looks, but i am going to go to a renowned college, get a high paying job and live my life to the fullest.

Would you go out with your classmates/co-workders?
AND, if so, how often and what happened in case it didn't work out? What did you do? Well, I have been going out in dates with my college classmates and it seems like it might create some problems since they are also my co-workers (closed-net school). There are some guys at my work/school I'm really interested in and they won't ask me out (even though I've given them the "signals"). You think it's because they are afraid of consequences in case it doesn't work out?
My dating pattern: I don't give kisses or have sex w guys that easily. Never sex; kiss, maybe after the 10th date. So, I'm safe there.
Signals: Smiling in class or at meetings. Offering to hang out with them during weekends...
Would you go out with your classmates/co-workders?
I wouldn't find someone interesting that did the same type of work as I. In fact, it would be really boring. It is also not that much fun if you work with them because you always have to pretend nothing is going on, and I am not good at pretending.
Reply:I haven't before but I think I'm asking out a classmate, just have to figure out which has the crush on me.
Reply:yes I would go out with them. it really depend on the person on how many dates. if it didnt work out then I would have to just go through it. good luck
Reply:In a situation where you will see that person on a daily basis. Break-ups can be job threatening and miserable. Best to avoid those kind of situations. No problems hanging out as friends.

My daughter saw some of her classmates at soccer practice french kissing behind some trees. they are 10?
and 11 yrs old. my girl has had a harder time this yr because she won't participate in the sexual games her classmates play.
the other kids parents don't supervise them very well, if at all.
if i say anything to the school or the parents the kids will know who told and pick on my daughter even more. she's having such a hard yr this yr. i don't want to do anything to make it worse for her.
now, my daughter is using her head and making good decisions and i'm sooooooooooooo glad that she is still open with me. i can tell when things are bothering her and i question her instead of ignoring it.
should i let the other kids carry on and hope the parents find out some other way? if they were paying more attention this probably wouldn't be happening!!!
or should i say something?? we have talked about the picking and she wants to try and deal with that part on her own for right now but said she would let me know if she needed me. but this sex thing scares me!!!
any advice????????????
My daughter saw some of her classmates at soccer practice french kissing behind some trees. they are 10?
Just let your daughter know what is wrong and not, talk to her about sex and inform her, so that if she ever gets into that situation she does not feel preasured and knows how to stand up for herself.
Dont worry about the other kids, yeah i know what they are doing are wrong, especially at this young age, BUT that is for their own parents to worry about not you.

Reply:What the other kids do is up to their parents. What your kid does is up to you. Worry about teaching yours what is right and what is wrong and don't bother with the other kids.

Reply:That is unacceptable. Alert all parents, teachers, principals, and coaches involved in the lives of those children. There must be other mothers who feel the same way. Form a group with those parents (preferable incluing the parents of your childrens' friends.) Let your daughter adjust for awhile before telling others or request anonymity.
Your daughters seem wonderful. Trust them, but try to sheild them from this behavior (at least until they are teens, who will do what they want.) Treat them to surprises for being such good girls. Questioning too much will lead to your daughters withdrawal.
Reply:If you are friends with the other kids moms and talk to them regularly enough, yes, you could say something. Don't make a conference call out of the blue though. And be sure to teach your child whats right and wrong, and mostly, make sure she sees that you respect her maturity and trust her, that will help keep the conversation open a little more. And remember, no parent can keep their child from the kind of world we live in, but just do the best you can.
Reply:tell the coach or teacher to talk to them or something other wise i would just worry about my kid
Reply:your daugher is VERY smart. you are lucky she has such a good head on her shoulders. i dont think you have much to worry about, but it might make her feel better if you make it clear that that is a dumb thing to do and she is smart to be making such good decisions.
tell the school anoynimously or another parent that will if it realyyy matters that much. doesnt seem like your problem though, there the ones with the stupid kids.
Reply:Jeez... I know where you're comming from here. At my school dating started in 3rd grade! =O It's terrible, there are all of these girls who will date a guy, kiss him, then dump him and repeat. They treat it like a game! And their only 13! I think that all your daughter needs to do is find a couple of good friends that will stick by her, even when she doesn't want to do what they do. After that, all she needs to do is ignore them and go about her day normally. =D Hope I helped!
Reply:Alright.. This probably isn't the thing you would like to hear... but it's going to happen. Sooner or later. She will learn and all that stuff but this generation is learning alot younger and alot quicker. Quicker then most parents would like.
I'm 16 and I still don't do that whole sex thing.. but that doesn't mean I don't know all my friends have.
Don't worry about a thing they won't mock her. And if they do explain to her that she does have a good head on her shoulders and she's making the right decisian. It's only middle school or even elementary school and that is certainly not the age for anything other then holding hands.
You just have to trust her and by the sound of it she is goign to be just fine. Don't worryy.
Whether or not to tell some one about it.. umm eek that is a hard question and personally if I was a mother I would like to know. Don't tell the coach because that will just get everyone of the kids in trouble not just the ones who were doing it.
Parents is the way to go.
Reply:the other kids are not yours to deal with. It's not your responsibility and it will just cause a lot of stress. Your concern is your daughter and the choices that she makes. You should be really proud of her! As for the picking, offer to let her transfer schools and see if she's keen on a new start with some other kids. Good Luck!
Reply:Wow, at that age my friends and I were soooo much more innocent. Is this common behaviour for where you live? Or could it be one bad seed at the school who spread this behaviour? Any way to change schools to on ethat is more aware and looks after the children? I know if that were happening at my childs school and she was uncomfortable I woul dbe taking her out even if that meant placing her or him into a Catholic school-religious school sin my city seem to be more watchful and strict with behaviours, and I don't mind my kids learning about God since I'd be teaching them about many other religions at home as well-I like to have my kids open minded..But the schools are usually just plain upkept more.
Nothing against the public school board, but it is a fact that the religious schools get more money placed into them.
unfortunately I wish that wasn't how it was-but where I live it is. So if I were you, I'd switch schools to somewhere else.
If not, talk to the principals and teachers, and let them call the parents.
Reply:Wow! I would want to know! I have boys 7,5 %26amp;1. Maybe you could mail a letter anonymously to the parents. Could you talk to the coach? If it was your daughter, you know you would want to know.

the other kids parents don't supervise them very well, if at all.
if i say anything to the school or the parents the kids will know who told and pick on my daughter even more. she's having such a hard yr this yr. i don't want to do anything to make it worse for her.
now, my daughter is using her head and making good decisions and i'm sooooooooooooo glad that she is still open with me. i can tell when things are bothering her and i question her instead of ignoring it.
should i let the other kids carry on and hope the parents find out some other way? if they were paying more attention this probably wouldn't be happening!!!
or should i say something?? we have talked about the picking and she wants to try and deal with that part on her own for right now but said she would let me know if she needed me. but this sex thing scares me!!!
any advice????????????
My daughter saw some of her classmates at soccer practice french kissing behind some trees. they are 10?
Just let your daughter know what is wrong and not, talk to her about sex and inform her, so that if she ever gets into that situation she does not feel preasured and knows how to stand up for herself.
Dont worry about the other kids, yeah i know what they are doing are wrong, especially at this young age, BUT that is for their own parents to worry about not you.
Just take care of your daughter and it looks like she already is a good girl, just keep talking to her, and help her any way you can so that she herself doesnt fall towards that sort of behaivour.

I feel a tension between my classmates and I?
In the beginning of the year I have been nice to my classmates and we were friendly everything was cool... But for some reason now they dont talk to me much and I always have trouble finding a partner for group assignment, i know the you have to be a friend to make a friend thing and i thought i did do that yet Im not sure if i have any friends in my class, its weird i have no trouble making friends in other classes. Even when i try to talk to them its like they don hear me, oh what do i do???? Im in 8th grade, what do i do?
I feel a tension between my classmates and I?
Hey kitkat,
I am in 8th grade too.
I think you behave like them when you are around them. That's why they dont give you any attention. This is from my experience.
The only way to find a solution to this is..... be yourself. That's it.
Don't give a chance tot hem to abandon you.
Be abondon early itself. Don't try to be friends with them. That doesn't mean don't talk to them.
If somebody wants a help, help that one, with pleasure.
You willl find a nice frnd for you in this way.
I think you are not able to judge yourself, sweety.
So........have your own personality.
Best of luck!!!
I am telling you from my experience
Reply:This might sound mean but to have friends you have to sorta JUMP in. But you missed the chance. You can try again but it'll be harder to find friends because they already HAVE friends. You should have said, 'Hey want to come over and study?' Now since they already have friends they probably make plans over the phone or something like that. So find a person who is NEAR the friend meter an invite her over.
Reply:Don't worry about it. You don't have trouble making friends in other classes. Just do the best you can and don't let it get to you. It may not be reasonable to expect friends in every class.
Reply:Welcome to my world. I had trouble with stuff, until I saw a shrink recently, then my life started to improve. Try seeing somebody. It turns out I had ADHD. Now I have a much better relationship with my friends.

Does anyone know how to contact classmates.com to remove or correct information? Or, be removed, altogether?
The first and main problem I'm having with Classmates.com is I signed up for 3 months only, and now they are billing my credit card every three months. How can I stop this, or contact them, other then contacting my credit card with a debait? Another issue is my husband is listed on twice and can't find a way to remove one. And, last but not all, somehow my info has gotten mixed up and I would like to correct it, or at this point loose contact with them, altogether as I've become very annoyed with the constant emails as well. Can anybody help? Thanx

Is it safe to tell your classmates your grades?
I'm a teenager and freshman in college. I had a bad past of jealous school mates in high school who lie and sabotage to eliminate the competition for college. OK now in college I feel edgy on trusting people because they haven't fully became college material yet. A lot of my classmates always try to ask for my grades...
I've told them before, especially friends and they always feel bad about their grades compared to mine. Hey they asked for it, I don't show off. Some of them hide information from me and pretend they can't assist me. Now I am asked again and I got 1 B and all A's. What do you think?
Thanks.
Is it safe to tell your classmates your grades?
NOO!
Whatever you do, do not tell them.
They will send your grades to the Communist government and hunt you DOWN!!!
Reply:no. if you dont want to then dont!
but atleast your friends ask while my friends, they just grab my test paper and tell every one about my grade its so annoying, i hope they burn in hell!
Reply:That's kinda like tellin people how much you get payed at your job-nobody"s beezwax but your own!
Reply:no its not safe, they'd want to get above you or else you cant graduate! especially in college
Reply:make them tell u their grades 1st then tell them urs if they r better, if not lie and say u got all good grades and nothing below an A-. hope it works!!!!
Reply:No, unless you are on the same level. It just creates tension.

What 2 do with 2 annoying classmates?
I have these two classmates who believe themselves to be smarter than anyone, 1 went to a point of telling people that he had no competition in our class, needless to say he did not feature in the top three of our botany class but had the highest module mark in the zoology class but did not do well in the exams as a result dropped to position 3 in the class, much to his dismay. He looks down on all of us and has went to a point of dragging the pain in the *** pig in the class to help him in his quest, the stupid idiot does not realise this and he goes to the point of alienating all of us whilst the smart *** friend does not take part in the act. The idiot will say something that Prof. stupid told him to say in class and will be looking at the moron for support but the he will actually ignore him and he will be left alone. Prof.stupid was a student at Wits university prior to coming to our institution and he fluncked at one of South Africa's best institutions with flying colors.
What 2 do with 2 annoying classmates?
Each person you meet in life is worth meeting, so you experience them and kind of study them as well. There are people that you cling to because you like them, but there are some that you ignore until they come around. You have to master this and don't take it personal.
Reply:the best way to get back at them... is to prove to them that you are not actually stupid... be smarter than him... trust me you will enjoy that look on his face when he found out that you or your other classmate got higher grade than he did!!!!!... just prove him WRONG!!!! that would be enough for an egocentric like him...
Reply:ignore them
Reply:If everyone keeps expressing thier displeasure with them, i.e. rolling of eyes, moans, sighs, etc, sooner or later they will grow up. But you can't change them, they have to change on thier own and they will only see this through others reactions.

How can I become closer to classmates?
I just started my Senior year, before I was quiet and didn't talk to anyone really. Some of those qualities still hold true, I'm not so quiet but I still have problems talking to others without acting immature or weird. Again I am a Senior and I would like to become closer to my fellow classmates without the rep of the weirdness and immaturity pushing them away. I'm not sure how to act though, I want to be bffs with Seniors. -what should my approach be? thanks -please no smart ace answers
How can I become closer to classmates?
I think it all depends on you on how bad YOU want it! If you want to make something happen, then it's up to you. You have to get yourself involved. Like go to pep rallies and have a blast with people. Football games. Any events your school may hold. Joining clubs will definitely get you talking with a group of people. The important thing to do is to talk about anything and be yourself not someone else. Good luck.

How to break the ice w/classmates.?
I'm taking an EMT course and there are 8 of us.
Of the 8 of us, I'm the only non-white student.
The rest of my classmates are from a small town that does not have "exposure" to diverse culture.
They're not goose stepping Nazis or anything...no one is yelling RAHOWA! or some crazy stuff like that.
But, I think I'm the only Dakota they've been this close to.
I know they want to know more, they're opening up...slowly.
Usually when I come across people like this...I just smile, wave and try not to give in to the urge of kicking their @ss for acting so damn weird.
What I need are pointers...how do I draw them outta their shells?
I need guidance, I need to know a way to end this with as little bloodshed as humanly possible.
Thank you for your consideration.
How to break the ice w/classmates.?
just be yourself, act nicely and be friendly. try asking them comun questions, like what other classess are they taking, how old they are? smile a lot. that attract people to open.
good luck

Reply:First you have to forget the skin color. To make friends, ask them for their opinions. People LOVE to know something you don't. Even if you know the answer - ask. That opens the communication. If you worry about it, your actions will be different. Next, do well. People respect those that are capable. Relax. Unless you're a jerk, they'll like you!
Reply:Talk about things they like to do or ask them how they liked some sporting event..
Reply:Invite a few friends over to eat some evening.
Also, you might bring up some Dakota tradition or symbol that they might find intersting and explain it to them , saying "I thought you might like to know this cool bit of Dakota tradition"
Anything tribal is very intersting to those who don't know.
If you have arrowheads, you might give them one. I am part Cherokee, and people just love arrowheads. Many have been given away.
The next thing to do is to ask them about themselves. People love to tell you about themselves if they feel you are truly interested and you are listening.
Jokes are also gr8 ice-breakers. So learn a few good ones and then share the laughter.
Good luck to you!
You seem very kind.
Reply:Just take it slow, and listen. No one likes Someone who talks too much especially if They do not know the Person. Think about Your Friends and how You first met Them, then be Yourself. Usually if a Person is quite, pretty soon Others will be trying to get Them to talk. But when You find out more about Them try to talk about things You have in common. Little worried about this as little bloodshed as humanly possible comment. Just curious do You just think in Your head You would like to slap some, for the way They act, or do You do it? I honestly mean no harm just wondering, You seem a little angry and nice all at the same time.
Wish You all the best in Your studies, and with Your Classmates, Hope You get really good and save thousands of Lives, if not more. God Bless

Should I meet up with my classmates/friends after nearly a decade's time?!?
10 years ago, I was in kindergarten/first grade. I moved from another country to the USA. So.. basically, at the end of the summer, I was extremely bored and I searched for random people on Facebook.
Surprise, surprise. I typed in some names of classmates I used to know in the other country... and I found 3 of them. One of them was even my preschool best friend! I did go back to visit them when I was in 2nd grade, but when I went back, I felt so out of place.. so I was really nervous and shy around them. It was hard to "meet them again."
Anyways, before I knew it-I just kind of forgot to go visit them every year I went back to that country for vacation (it's a yearly thing). This went on for years.. so basically, I recently got in touch with them. *Primarily my preschool best friend. The thing is..
I've become really shy and they've changed, obviously. I mean, the last time we met, we were practically toddlers!!
Should I seek them out in the summer?

Has anyone been successful in getting Classmates.com refund their "automated" renewal of their membership?
I was shocked when I saw that my membership was "automatically" renewed by Classmates.com. When trying to rectify this, the company relies on a standard reply that members were informed that they would be placed into automated renewal (hidden deep in the fine print of the TOS). When brought to their attention, they say that they have moved the account to "manual" renewal but refuse to refund you what they charged. Any thoughts?
Has anyone been successful in getting Classmates.com refund their "automated" renewal of their membership?
If you did not completely read the TOS technically you are at fault.
If classmates.com does not refund your money you have several options: Call the BBB, contact a local newspaper business editor to see if he/she will call classmates.com on your behalf (companies HATE negative business columns), or call your state's AG (Attorney General).
Classmates.com may have a long history of this, if so once you contact the AG you may have a better shot at getting your money back.
Also you can try filing a charge back on your credit card.
Reply:I HATE classmates.com (won't even capitalize their crappy name.) I post on there, when its free, but its a big scam, and you're very unlikely to "reconnect" with anyone using their service. Report It

If you're a member of Classmates.com, can you answer this?
When I first became a gold member, I did a search for an old gradeschool friend. I found a page on her and sent her an email. I never received a response. However, I keep getting emails saying there has been a search for me...from that same person. I've sent a few more emails, (again, no response) but keep getting the search emails from Classmates.com. I've stopped sending emails long ago, but the search notifications are starting to bug me. What's going on, and have you ever encountered this problem?
If you're a member of Classmates.com, can you answer this?
Notify Classmates. They took your money. Make them produce!
Even though I have the free listing, I have always been skeptical about the membership. Your post suggests that my skepticism is justified.

How can I get rid of jalousy of my classmates and teachers and stop them from affecting me.?
I always feel that at the end of my courses that I want to leave because of the social impressin, maybe people want me to be out, I try to show that I know and that I am a hard worker because that motivates me more to work more and more again until I achieve my degree. Now my classmates and teachers have commented in diploma children'services clss in Australia that I have knowledge from overseas, and a vietnamese classmate asked me how I have these skills and I told her before that I brought up in an educated family environment and a french school, however I speak 3 languages: arabic, french and english.
I didn't want to tell anyone that I know phsiotherapy, becoz my fear of more jalousy and no one of the teachers can help me, I spoke to the councellor before for last stage, now this stage I feel the councellor and the teachers are changed the way they used to give me advice and help, they are less like likely to open up to me.
I need to help myself, I am really lonely,NO FAMILY.
How can I get rid of jalousy of my classmates and teachers and stop them from affecting me.?
I feel really sorry for you because i had almost the same problem, but if you really want to get a good job and a degree than just focus on WORK, WORK, WORK. but everybody needs some freind's so find a friend that you could really open up to and follow from there. I really don't know how to exactly answer your question but maybe if youv been ignoring somone they maybe would know, or even a new kid, but i know what your going through so if you need help then just email me at samanthag1375@yahoo.com so just email me.... because i understand.
Reply:You list some interesting skills that you think your classmates are jealous of. I really don't see why--your "resume" is no better than average--among honors students in the US it wouldn't evenb e that good. I suspect any social problems you are having are due to your classmates getting sick and tired your overbearing attitude and conceit.

How can i Avoid boring my classmates while I'm reporting?
Hey guys..
I will be reporting in front of our class on monday but i haven't formulated a style, technique or a "Gig" in reporting to avoid boring my classmates..
My report is about a short story and I'm going to discuss different element of the story itself.. How can I spice things up so they will listen attentively?
A game? Giving a price after answering a question? Or what?
Hope you can help me on this..
Any constructive opinion will be pretty much appreciated!!
Thanks!!
How can i Avoid boring my classmates while I'm reporting?
Before you try anything fancy with your presentation, work on how you speak first. Make sure you stand upright (making a few steps occasionally is fine) and look into your audience. Speak audibly and clearly, even loudly if you are speaking to an audience of more than 30. Smile, use appropriate gestures to emphasize certain points, it helps if you are humorous, throw them questions and respond appropriately to the answers they throw back at you. Your focus is not to entertain your audience but keep them interested in what you have to say about your short story. Be very, very passionate about the story that you are going to talk about so that you draw the others into your passion too.
That being said, a game is fine although it's not advisable for short presentations. If you have only 15 minutes to report, or less, the game would take up too much time. If you are using visual materials like PowerPoint or large sheets of paper, keep the things on the visual presentation simple and concise - aim to use as little words as possible. Wordy presentations are top borers.
All in all, be clear, concise and connect with your audience.
Reply:Try a creative interactive introdruction that will pull your audience in. Try to add inflection in your voice and not be monotoned. Good eye contact and facial expressions that fit the mood of the story are good ideas. Most importantly treat it as if you are telling a folk story and not a report. Always end with something memorable, so you can leave an impression on your classmates' minds.
Reply:When speaking, move around the front of the classroom, occasionally look up at everyone, you can try to add puns in while you are reading (not the best idea with a strict teacher) You can also talk loudly, try to project your voice, and move your voice up and down, randomly (you don't want to talk at the same pitch and tone, boring!) All of the little things count... Good Luck!
Reply:Be focused and energetic. Don't act like a nervous wreck but rather like you are content and excited. Be aware of nervous habits, such as playing with your hair or biting your nails. Practice the presentation so that you are confident and familiar with the content. Be also aware of verbal stumbling blocks, like uhh or umm. Nothing ruins a presentation like someone who is nervous, but seems disinterested, bites their nails and keeps saying uhh every other word.
Look around the room when you give the presentation and make eye contact for a second or two with each person, but in a random order (but not so you are doing it obviously).
Watch some speeches, maybe on you tube, and see what you like or don't like about them. If you want to add flavor, dress in clothes that would be appropriate to the topic, but that don't stand out during the rest of the day. If you can't, bring a prop.
In the end, practice and experience are the tools that allows you to get better at being in front of a crowd and being able to capture their attention.
Or maybe you could do a jeopardy version of a report, with prizes...
Reply:when I had to do this it ALWAYS helped that I knew what I was talking about..
that way I just kind of spoke about it like i would speak to my friends and people would pay much more attention if they just see yourself speaking about something (you should look interested in it cause if YOU'RE not interested dont expect anyone else to be) they will pay attention..
and if it's really boring you can always joke about that
=)
Reply:surprise them with change of tone, volume etc.
eg. if your talking about how the story is made to make you feel happy at the end, talk joyfully whilst saying this. try to match your voice and actions to what your saying in ur speech. interact with your classmates by going up to them and asking them questions informally by sitting on their desk or such. most of all, be confident. don't make it look like your nervous, because you'll turn them off immediately. make sure you make lots and lots of eye contact too
hope this helped!

Reply:if i were u i wouldnt do a game cuz games can be kinda corny
dont go up there and be loud and annoying
no one likes someone like that
but start off with like a bit of humor
like
hi my name is _____ and im the kid who sits over there(and point to ur seat)
u dont hav to be hysterical but u dont have to be 2 corny
the joke will losen everyone up (u included) and then jus go with the flow
speak a bit louder than usual(but not annoying)
hav like a display like a triboard(if u can)
use ur hands and get into it
dont over do the joke
and u should be fine
hope i helped!
Reply:You need to make it interesting, put your personallity in it.
I'm a blonde and love to make people laugh sooooo i always try to add somthing funny or make a comment that is funny. Just somthing to keep them interested. There were 2 boys in my LA class that would like do a skit, or sing or dance, people would talk about it for days!
Reply:You can use a powerpoint presentation in conjuction with your oral report and for the love of god don't read the written report...the main points should be in your presentation along with photos. If you want it to me interactive you can put the character names in a bag and have a certain number of students pick then have then enact the presentation as you go, everyone likes spur of the moment and it'll help in keeping their attention.
Reply:Diagrams??? make it a story not a report
Reply:okay so find details in the story you think are interesting.Also cut down on big words have enough that you don't disapoint your teacher but don't have to much because that is boring to here big word after big word. dont make the report to long cause that is boring too. then add questions about the story inside the report to have the veiwers think about the report themselves.try to fit your classmates into the report too it helps them pay more attention if they can relate to it
Reply:You seem to be under the assumption that your classmates want to be entertained. Or, at least, that they don't want to be bored. That, my friend, is where I think you're wrong.
Look, they expect to be bored. If you go up there and try to entertain them, they're going to catch on to what you're trying to do and will immediately commence to entertaining themselves by ridiculing your attempt to entertain them.
Just get up there and power through it. They'll be bored, yes, but that's probably what they're expecting anyway.
Reply:If you can relate those elements of the short story to kids directly in the class that could help.... if you try to put a funny twist on some of the report...maybe a little joke about part of the story or something to keep your audience attentive.... The best reports in school were always the ones that gave us a little laughter, and a little something to think about.... If the story is about a certain action , maybe ask classmates what THEY would do if THEY were in the situation.... audience participation is a great way to avoid boring the class...If I knew what the short story was about that you will be reporting on, I MIGHT be able to come up with better ideas for you.

Adults adore my daughter, but her classmates just don't. WHY?
My 13 year old daughter is a very sociable girl. She is confident in herself and not easily intimidated by new situations or new people/friendships. I sometimes admire that in her, but I also see that she has a difficult time KEEPING friends. People are initially drawn to her and want to get to know her, but it seems that those people never stick around to form a good solid friendship with her. Shes been broken hearted on several occasions because she hasn't been invited to functions that she really wants to participate in with people that SHE looks at as friends. I don't really know what to tell her. Part of me wants her to just stay the energetic, confident person that she has always been, because thats who she truly is, but part of me wonders if her classmates think shes just too hyper, overwhelming and too confident in herself and maybe find that annoying. Most adults who know her have told us that she "facinates" them with her personality and they really like her. Why dont kids?

YOur daughter may suffer of the same problem as my grand daughter Her adults love her but friend are fleeing her Why / Because she thinks she is a princess Its always look at me and allkind of plays has to be my OWN way And whos fault her mother Theres a big difference between selfconfidence and arrogance
Reply:I`m 28 and I was a bit like this. Sometimes certain people get along better with specific age groups than others. I didn`t know how to really talk with adults and like Alice in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll who got along mostly with children. She`ll find some friends who will stick with her and grow into her personality :)
Reply:I had a somewhat similar problem at that age.
The problem may be that she is too confident but also she may just be simply out of their league.
What I mean is children develop at different rates and it may well be that she is on a more mature level than most children her age. It will come right when all children are developing towards her level of maturity.
It is hard being left out I know but the good side of it is that you learn at a young age a lot about people.
Reply:she intimidates others. and they are jealous of her.

Shy Guys Opinion: Found out he has a Classmates account, should I email him through there?
OK, OK, I haven't exactly gotten around to talking to my phlebotomy guy yet any more than just questions about the plasma donation in general. I think what's really intimidating me is all of the other donors in the room. I don't want any other donors to know that I like him, because I don't want them to start any crap (and from the foul mouths that are in there, I can assure that they would) (kinda like when it goes haywire at work). Anyway, I was looking at an update on my Classmates account, and thought I would do a search for him. WHOO HOO! Found out he has an account, and that I am able to email him through Classmates. Should I contact him this way with a "Hi, How are you?" and see if he responds, or is that "creepy"? I think he is as intimidated as I as far as the other donors in the room go. I really don't get a chance to "pull him aside" to talk to him on a more personal level, as they do stay very busy. Shy Guys especially, what do you think??

I don't have friendly classmates....what should i do???
Ok....i went to another school....this year!!!!
And i don't have classmates friends...it's like....they are very different than me!!!I'm trying to talk with them...but they are like not friendly....
always i am the one who starts the conversation....they don't even care for me....:( Sometimes i think i will never be friends with them!!!....Actually of all the class i have just one friend ... but no one doesn't want to be friends with her...Cause they think that she is a jerk!!! I feel sorry about her...I think she is really good person..and nice to talking with .... But she is just quite....In the previous school , i had so many friends.... they were all nice!!!And friendly....and we cared for each other!!! Here ... i don't know...it's like a horror show......I know that it is not the end of the world....and maybe you think that i'm making a drama with it
But i'm desperate , every day i am watch them...how they have fun and great time..but i don't ....it makes me feel so boring..
I don't have friendly classmates....what should i do???
omg, you sound exactly like I did in school :(
the truth is when your older you will realise you had a few more friends that you thought and you only need one real good friend a hell of a lot more than you need a million fake friends. stick it out and and focus on your studies, most the people who are bitches to you now will probably end up junkies well that's what ended up happening to all the popular snobs at my school, be happy with what you do.... did you know a very high percentage of celebrities were considered losers and were victimised at school, at school it "so uncool" to be different but once you become an adult, being just that tiny bit different is going to get you noticed for that job you want. anyway my point is don't worry about it you'll be better off if you worry more about your studies, I know it's hard but your 1 true friend is all you need
Reply:trust me i have the same problem, since i switched schools this year, my new class mates pretend i dont exist.This is what i did:
every day during recess or after school i go off by myself and leave my new friend(s) behind. during this "alone time" i take the time to remember all my friends back in my old school, how they treat me, their smile and how they treat me. i do this every day, and it makes me happy. once in a while i go home and contact my old friends and ask them how are they doing. Somestimes i even make plans to go to a new tuition with 1 or 2 of old class mates to have some quality time together!!!
I HOPE I HELPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reply:changing schools is a tough move, you are joining an already established community, and often its easy for them to overlook how much a new face is struggling. Have you tried joining some clubs at school, quite often groups that are friends in the playground separate to go to clubs, they have different interests, so this would be a good opportunity for you to meet friends with similar interests to you when they are not all together in their groups. its not easy but you will have to put yourself out there and prepare to percivere, once they get to know you, you will have friends in no time, good luck to you
Reply:are u in highschool the same thing happened to me. u cant do anything about it. you cant change ppl. you can only change urself and if youre happy with u, dont change. so what if u have only one friend...at least she is loyal to you and a good i mean REAL GOOD friend is hard to find. you maybe can try to transfer somewhere else, that is what i did it was sooo much better. good luck!
Reply:get a life... go make friends on instant messaging... you'll get some real close friends there...
Reply:Well your the new girl it will take time they have already formed there little cliques and it is sometimes hard to get in them. School can be a tough time I remember being in school and moving and having no friends at first give it time and you will make friends. Anyway you dont need friends like that anyway.
when you get a little older you will realize there not worth it any way.
Reply:Neither do i have friendly classmates, i know how it feels to not have any friends at all. i dunno how to explain it is just like a feeling..... i don't know! i am bored to death at my school all the peole don't want to make friends with me too they think that i am a noob and a total jerk! OMG!
Reply:be nice back
Reply:what i figured out is that you don't need friends to survive all my friends that i went to middle school with i don't even talk to now that i'm in high school my dad is my best friend. so you should keep contact with your old friend and don't drop them. you can't make someone like you so just leave it alone a chill by urself. **** you don't need people to kick it....
Reply:tell the teacher, if he doesn't listen, go to the principal
Reply:well they wont be friendly to you unless if you was friendly with them from the 1st place .. I've been throw this when i was in high school but i went throw it yeah .. cause i was kinda easy in dealing with them .. just try your best to show them that you actually care about them and you more a team member than just a student .. and I'm sure they\ll be happy to have you as a friend :) .. cause as we all know every body is looking forward to meet a new friend
Reply:Don't play with them, just study be smarter than them and their gotta party attitude, and in the long run you will be much happier. They have small minds.
Reply:Your just one of those people that is naturally good hearted. An "old soul" that people aren't used to these days sadly enough. Don't change who you are for them. Just continue being yourself no matter what.
Reply:Jesus is the best friend anyone could ever have, and he definitely CARES for you! (more than any mere human ever could).
The question, then:
Is he YOUR friend? (see John, Chapter 3, in the Bible/KJV)
If not, it is not because he hasn't tried (or wanted) to be, but that he is waiting for you to call upon him to save you. Once he becomes your Savior, he can then be the best friend you have, and not only that, but he knows many others (girls, like you) who are looking for a friend, just as you are, and he can (and will) direct you to them/bring them to you, if you will only ask, in prayer.
The final answer (after reading John 3) is Romans, Chapter 10.
As the old song says, "What A Friend We Have in Jesus."

Reply:As for me,,,prayer is the best key,,,Ask God to touch their heart,and to show you the right friends to be with so that you may enjoy life HE has given you,,,,
Reply:Well, I have never gone to another school. But I can help you. From the Primary school my classmates, especially two girls, teased me just because they considered that I'm a swot!! No one girl in my class wanted to be my friend. They were so jealous of me that they had convinced all the girls not to be friends with me. But now, I 've met a new guy, Jenny, and I believe that I -finally- have a best friend.
So, don't worry. Just believe that somewhere on Earth there is your best friend. But simply you haven't found him/her yet. Keep holding on. Maybe they are not sure about what kind of person you are. Maybe you are into quarantine. Don't try to change yourself to be friends with someone of them. Be patient. For now be friends with that person. Maybe she is your best friend. Just try to ignore them. It's the best advice I think.

Help! I need some help in finding old classmates/friends...?
I need some help in finding some old classmates/friends. I will accept only serious and truthful answers, so if you just want to lie to me or say something stupid, then don't bother answering my question. The classmates/friends I am looking for are Bridget Henry, Derek DeSanto, Trevor Howard, Joseph LaCroix (sp?), Lacey Steadman, Korey Schwab, Abe Coleman, Cole Newton and Victorie Bernier. Joseph and I were in the same 5th grade class at Oceanlake Elementary in Lincoln City, OR during the 1994-1995 school year and although we were not in the same 6th grade class, we had some exploratory classes together. We were really good friends. The rest of the people I mentioned were all in the same 6th grade class as me at Taft Elementary/Middle School in Taft, OR. I have tried searching for these schools on myspace, but they are not on there and I don't know any other schools that any of these people could've attended since then except for Joseph, who went to McClaren. Please help me.

How do I get my classmates to take me seriously?
'Follow your instincts.' People love to give advice like this. They urge each other to listen to the 'still, small voice inside'. This would be easy if there were only one voice to listen to. The task is harder when you appear to have an entire choir singing different messages from various parts of your psyche. It is not even as if they are singing in harmony. One part of you now is pushing you to move in a particular direction. Another clearly wants you to do the opposite. You cannot use your intellect alone to decide what to do, for you have to follow your heart now. But you can at least use your brain to work out which part of your heart to follow
