I am not a paying "member", and recently I've been getting e-mails notifying me that classmates/friends have left some messages for me. Since I'm not paying, obviously I cannot view them. My question is this -- if a paying friend of mine goes to my profile, can she view the messages, or are they completely private?
Any classmates.com people out there?...?
No they can't go into your profile. I've gotten the same thing when my subscription had expired. It's a way for them to get you to join again.

My classmates are saying I have a crush on my best guy friend (which is half true) what can I do?
It really hurts when people say you have a crush on your best girl friend or guy friend. On Friday, May 11th, my classmates were talking about something, and I wanted to know what they were talking about. When they were talking/ whispering and I turned around, they pretended that they weren't. And I heard, "Jennifer told me that Mollie has a secret crush on her best guy friend" I was so shocked, and it was half-true, how can Jennifer say this! And I didn't tell her anything!

Best thing is to do nothing at all. Ignore them would be the best thing. If you start talking there will be a fight down the road.

Reply:Well,
Girls are often somtimes very gossipy and stories get changed around, are you sure she didnt hear it from someone else? or was she just doing it to hurt ur feelings? Ask her where did she get this peice of info. or why would she want to say that about you? And about the guy, tell him how you feel it might feel akward, but.......... its always worth a try and maybe he has the same feelings about you! If ur to scared to tell him ask i close friend to tell him for you!
Reply:tell him how you feel and screw your friends.
Reply:like tell the truth cause wouldn't it suck if they find out later and then you like him even MORE and BOTH you would be inberressed tyhen even more this time!
Reply:act cool. be like no way, and drop the subject. if you go like no way, he so totllly not me. how could anyone think that? u are in for total attention and humiliation!
Reply:For 5 years I had a crush on my best guy friend. Recently, I made a move that suggested becoming closer. What I thought was going to make us closer actually tore us apart. I mean it was HORRIBLE!!!!! We didn't talk or hang out for months after, and we even sat beside each other in class! My suggestion, stay friends. If you want to be around him and not feel weird, stay "just friends". Luckly, I and my guy friend made up and are still good friends. Just last night, a group of us went to the carnival. Me and Chris got paired up as ride buddies without even trying to be paired up. We turned out to have the best fun out of all of our friends. Its those memories that you will cherish more.

Does Classmates.com do memberships via snail mail or online only?
I want to obtain a gold membership with classmates.com so I can have more use of the site and find and contact more people and have more of a variety than just a basic membership. The thing is is that I don't want to do anything over the internet and I don't have a credit card. Can I just write them a letter stating this and do everything through the mail or do I have to do everything online? I just saw that three people signed my guestbook, but I have to be a gold member to see who these people are and it is killing me that I have no idea who these people are. They just might be people that I have been wanting to get in contact with for years! Thanks for any help received.

as far as i am aware you can only do this online.

My classmates hate me - what can I do??
When it comes to school, I have very good grades and I try to be friendly with everybody.
But my girl classmates seem to hate me - they talk about me behind my back, whisper, embarrass and insult me. They also don't include me in their "group" and they sometimes just ignore my opinion and stuff.
I haven't done anything to them!
Schooldays are turning into nightmares with them and I am starting to feel more and more horrible going to school.
Being friendly with them doesn't work at all so what should I do??!
My classmates hate me - what can I do??
I think that you should get new people and forget about them because they sound like bratz and you could hangout with some other people!
Reply:I went through the same thing when I was 12. ( Now I'm 18 and I have a lot of friends )
However, I really don't know how old you are. When I was 12, I got nearly all straight A pluses, and all the kids hated me. I had only one friend and all the girls would talk behind my back. I even cried to my teacher.
Like I said before, I don't know how old you are. I was referring school as miserable and I couldn't stand going. I even thought about moving to another class. The kids were horrible.
If you are 12, maybe it is because of their age. Even if you are 11 or 13, that's still because of their age. Kids at that age are attrocious. Now I am 18 and people are more mature and kinder. I have way more friend than I did then.
Why do the kids not like you? Could they be jealous? Are you a quiet kid? I was the quiet kid ( and I still am ) and sometimes in elementary school, kids will pick on you if you are shy.
Could you smell? Kids pick on other kids for that reason as well.
Reply:ignore the skanky hoes..
Reply:You only need one friend. As long as these "mean" girls can make you sad, they will be happier.
Make 1 friend and ignore the other girls. They wouldn't make good friends anyway.
Reply:I would ignore them. Stay away from them. Hang around with someone that you know does like you. Switch classes if you can. Avoid these girls in anyway you can, and dont let them think that they are bothering you, because that will just make them do it more.*

It is the first time in my life that I see teachers jalous of a student, or maybe feeling unconfrtable with a student who is new migrant in their country and trying to do their best to be an excellent child care workers when we graduate and go to work, and why classmates are that cold hearted?

Which is better--Classmates.Com or Reunion.com?
I have been receiving emails on a weekly (if not, daily) basis that states a certain number of people are looking for me from Reunion.Com. I am a current member of Classmates. My question is, is Reunion.Com better than Classmates.Com and why? What have some of your experiences been like and what is the difference between the two (if any)?
Which is better--Classmates.Com or Reunion.com?
if people r looking for u at reunion.com then go there so u can talk 2 old classmates

Is it appropriate to contact old classmates?
I wonder what happened to an old classmate I knew in college 10 years ago. This is completely platonic interest. I have an email I think is hers, but I haven't used it yet.
Is it okay to contact old classmates, or is there some sort of rule that you can't contact an opposite sex classmate after you graduate? All I would say is "how have you been, what's happened in your life?".
I know some people can go apesh** over this kind of thing, but it doesn't make a lot of logical sense, really. I'm just curious.
Is it appropriate to contact old classmates?
If you can find them, they aren't avoiding anyone. What's the worst that could happen? You won't get an answer and it's not the end of the world. I contacted my first "crush" (I was 11) after 48 years, and we have become so close that we are talking marriage. I say "Go for it" - you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Reply:As long as you keep it platonic. If she doesn't answer, don't bug her. It is especially appropriate at the 5, 10, 15 etc year marks; "We just had our 20th reunion and I wondered . . ."
Reply:Why not? If she's not interested in answering she can just ignore the email.
Reply:I depends on the relationship u had with tht classmate.
If u guys were cool in school - might be nice to catch up
...but if the relationships were JUST casual or less - leave ithem in the past.
Reply:Sure, and you can use Classmates. com, or Reunion. com, to see if they have listed themselves. You can't e-mail them through the site unless you subscribe, though. I signed up to find people for a class reunion.To me, if they are listed, it gives permission to contact that person.
And yes people get crazy about this, so light and breezy and not personal is the way to do this. Try something like this: I have been thinking about all my former classmates, trying to contact as many as I can. Our first reunion is next year, can you believe it? ! I am starting to contact people now, so they will free up their calenders to be at the reunion. I will be there! What's happened in your life? I have married and have 3 kids, two dogs, and a firefighter for a husband.
Hiope this helps.And do not be offended if it is the wife who e-mails you back, and tells you to buzz off. Like we both said, people get crazy about this.
Reply:I would feel great that someone remembers me from college and kept my email address - go for it BUT remember just because she doesn't answer it or it is return does not mean that she/he is not interested in getting in touch with you - it could be her email blocker will keep her/him from getting the email!@
Reply:only if they were hot!
and you might get sum from them!
Reply:Go for it, she'll probably very happy to hear from you. It's no big deal, I mean, just tell her you stubled across her email address and wanted to say hi.
Reply:Well,if I am your old classmate I will be very happy when you send me an email because someone still remember me.Yes,its ok ay to contact your old classmate.
Reply:Go for it I have and sometime you find an old friendship again and sometimes you don't. even if you just talk to them once it is good to see what they are doing and to share what you have been up to.
Reply:I'd say there's really no question of etiquitte here. There are services all over the place to help re-unite people with lost classmates. If you think you know how to get in touch with someone, go ahead! and best of luck.

Why do I dream about my high school classmates?
They didn't really like me and I really didn't like them, so why do I dream about them? Sometimes I dream we (about 5-10) are in class or on a school bus. I once dreamed one of my classmates broke into my apartment and made a sandwich, a few weeks later he was arrested for stealing. I have no idea what any of this means. Why do I dream about my ex-classmates?

What will you do if one of your classmates is trying to 'steal' your best friend away from you?Please help
My best friend usually have recess together with me , just the two of us in the canteen. We are always doing things together until one of my classmates started being with her. I usually sit in class with my best friend when the teacher isn't around and when recess isn't over but now, my other classmate is doing all those things. She even walks home with her now.
During one of our lessons, i did my work abit late and my friend didn't even bother waiting for me but walked off with her. I didnt care about it and went of with my other classmate. I was waiting for recess to end in class with my friend when my best friend arrived. She asked me where i went and i told her i was off with my other friend. After that, my classmate went to sit with her.
What should i do?

Anyone participate in Classmates.com?
I just signed up a few days ago and sent a couple emails to old classmates. They haven't opened them. Do they actually send them? I know I would open any emails I had received that said someone at Classmates was emailing me.I was wondering how reliable the service is. What have been your experiences?
Anyone participate in Classmates.com?
I like it. Not only did I find several old friends from the sixties, I managed to get two of them to meet me in town for pizza and beer. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective), one died a few weeks after the reunion. Fortunate in that he got to see a couple old friends and reminisce about the good old days before he expired.
Reply:I was very disappointed with their responses to questions I had. It took over 5 days for them to send me an email back to a simple question I had. I cancelled my membership before my 7 day trial membership was up.
Reply:Yes, I have sent some emails to old classmates too. Classmates.com is very reliable. I have gotten emails back from some of them but some had not opened theirs so I'm guessing it's because they haven't been online for awhile. I have also received emails from former classmates and each time I have had emails in my inbox from classmates.com telling me someone has sent me a message. Good luck with reuniting with old friends.
***If you send an email to someone on classmates, it is sent to their classmates.com inbox. So they have to log into classmates in order to receive it. Fortunately, classmates will send them an email saying that they have received a message from you. Once the person reads your email, they can then contact you free through classmates or even better, make sure you give them your email address so they can email you directly.
Reply:I did for a while.
I actually did find old long-lost schoolmates, but no one I was very close to.
It was a bit like trying to make new friends. Over-all I was disapointed!
Eventually I did not reup for another year.
Reply:Hi Bert,
Even though it will satisfy your curiosity after a while, you will find that just like at reunions, people pretty much live their own lives and loose interest in re-acquainting themselves with old schoolmates. We pretty much keep in touch with the people who mattered, so anyone else is just not as much of a strong interest.
Only one gal from my class of 700 students has kept up with me. She wasn't even in my circle of friends, but was in fact, one of the mean-spirited kids from back then. She had matured, raised her kids, is a grandmother, and her hobby is animal rescue. So, she sends me emails all the time on some rescued pet who needs a home.
So, for the most part, it's great to find someone you truly 'lost', but it also opens up doors from persons you DIDN'T want to hear from (or recently some guy who claimed he had a crush on me, but I can't find him in any of our classbooks, so I figured him to be "fishing" and looking for trouble---I sent him a cordial email back and informed him I am newly married and not interested).
So, in it's newness, Classmates.com was one of the pioneer of this form of databases. Now, there are dozens out there, and we have so many different websites out there that nothing is new anymore. Classmates isn't real open to browsing as they use to be if you were not a "member", and I just periodically update mine for info purposes only. No interest in contacting anyone at this point anymore.

Classmates don't talk to me because I'm tall?
I'm 16 and around 5'9 (I don't think I'm too tall but compared to my classmates I am)..and people don't approach me. I've heard people talking about me how "I don't like talking to people" (which is not true).. I overheard a guy tell a girl that I don't talk because I'm "smart" and "doing my work"
Guys don't like me because I'm taller than them.
What should I do?
Classmates don't talk to me because I'm tall?
i know how you feel. remember, 16 is the end of your growth spurt and usually the beginning of boys' growth spurts. people (girls and boys) may not talk to you because they feel intimidated. my family and friends would tell me the same thing (about being intimidated) and i though they were all full of crap until i really started to open my eyes.
i've been 5'11" since i was 15 years old and i didn't fully appreciate it until i went off to college. once you're surrounded with people who aren't still in the sways of puberty you'll find your own support group (of tall friends). height is one of the few things that cannot be changed with cosmetic surgery.. embrace it. it's a gift.
one of my favorite things to do now is to go out with a pair of four inch heels on and have everyone turn and stare when i walk into a room. it's a pretty powerful experience. boys will always feel intimidated and girls will always be jealous (because 5'8" to 5'11" is ideal model height), but you will always be tall and you won't always 16 years old.
you will always stand out, so be confident, smile, and don't wait for people to talk to you.
Reply:Wow. That's really lame.
Why don't you try talking to them. Something simple to start off with like " hey, what's up". It's good to concentrate on your studies but you probably don't want to be a loner at your school. Prove them wrong that your not shy and start a conversation with them. You can't help being tall, and most people would like to be tall than short (me). So there you go. And like Mike Hunt said, 5'9 really isn't that tall.
Hope this helps : ]
Reply:don't worry about that. sounds like you are surrounded by insecure people. besides, as long as you are doing something right, they will always talk.

Reply:Don't be insecure about your height sweety. Guys who don't talk to you because you are taller than them, doesn't mean they don't like you, they are insecure about THEIR height.

Reply:you're not tall, im 5.8 and 13!!! maybe cause its the fact that you take doing your work seriously in school, and thats what we should be all doing, but the majority of us dont, so maybe thats why they single you out, cause you like concentrating in class.

Now I have got a couple of friends that I know I will be friends with for a lifetime. I personally would rather have no friends than friends like that and if a guy does not like you for who you are than he doesn't deserve you, it's his loss and he's stupid anyway. All of them are stupid and immature that's why they act like that. I used to be insecure about my height too but you will grow into it and grow to like it(I did and most of my tall friends did.) When your younger and your peers are they will pick on you for being tall but when you get into high school or college you will see a lot less of that and some people might be jealous because they might think your tall and pretty.

Classmates failing classes...what will happen to them in the future?
ok so i have TONS of classmates (highschool age) failing classes. they don't seem to care. some of the juniors next year are even failing, so if they don't graduate, are they going to end up on the streets or something? or live with their parents forever?
Classmates failing classes...what will happen to them in the future?
Sadly, the American economy has evolved to the point where the high school dropout does not have much of a future. 40 years ago, the dropout could look forward to getting a factory job and working at the same factory until retirement. That just doesn't happen much anymore.
Will they end up on the streets? Maybe. But too many kids now continue to live with their parents far beyond the point that they should. Hopefully their parents will kick them in the butt and make them do something with their lives.
Perhaps some of them realize that they are destined to work with their hands as carpenters or plumbers or other craftsmen. Those type of people will always have a job. Think about it, when was the last time you saw an attorney who wanted to swing a hammer?
Reply:Might as well just send them straight to jail now! haha...
Reply:Lack of interest in school is a problem in this country, both for the kids and their parents. They may be able to take summer classes to make up the failed grades. They may even opt for a GED and continue their higher education later in life. Failing does not predispose one to becoming a street person; however, lack of education often limits job choices, salary and advancement. It stands to reason that until they are able to financially afford to live on their own, they will live with their parents or have roommates.
Reply:They will realize
Reply:Depends on if they're failing classes because they're bored or if they're just not motivated, unable to comprehend the material, have a bad attitude, or just don't see the necessity of education. Typically, with the last group of examples you will find them working menial jobs for the rest of their life, and chances are they will never go to college. There will be a small minority that will change, and actually will do quite well in life, but they are the exception. Going back the the premise at the beginning ... the students who fail because they're bored tend to snap out of that when they reach adulthood, and do one of two things -- become highly skilled workers (vocational or business), or end up going to college and doing quite well academically.
You also have to understand that about 30% of the freshman admitted to college never finish, so doing well in high school isn't a absolute indicator that you will earn at least a bachelors degree. Take my older brother for example ... he graduated with a 1.8 and went straight into the job force after high school. After three years of crappy jobs and dismal pay he decided to change his life and started out at a junior college -- he worked really hard and got good grades, then transfered to USC and earned a BS with honors in Electrical Engineering -- in fact, he went on to earn a Masters from Stanford. Conversely, I know of friends from high school who were 'destined for greatness,' and fell tragically short of that goal -- for example, one decided partying was more fun than studying in college and was expelled for DUI's and drinking underage. He never put his life back together, and now he is the Night Manager a the Golden Corral (a cheap 'all-you-can-eat' restaurant).
The future is what you make of it, but learn from other's mistakes and get good grades in high school and college (you'll save yourself a lot of unnecessary grief).
Reply:some will others will get their act together. My daughter, had all A's but dropped out in her senior year. She eventually realized her mistake, got her G.E.D, went to college and is now an assistant manager at a store. she lives on her own and has a new car.
Reply:potential to make money has little to do with education, They will for sure have trouble finding a good job, but someone has to do the stuff the rest of us don't want to. Not graduating will be a big hinderance on their future, and they will reach that realization when their resources run out and they have to get a real life of their own. I wouldn't worry about them, Just stay on the right track and don't do anything you'll regret like they have.
Reply:it depends how fast it takes them to get their act together...
however, just because someone does horribly in school doesnt mean they are destined for failure in life forever - some students may just graduate late after making up the classes they did horribly in. in terms of college, they can still attend a community college and transfer into a university later on - sure their pathway to success will me MAJORLY roadblocked, hope isnt lost yet

Classmates.com alternative.?
I would love to keep in touch with old friends but I HATE classmates.com. Even if you spend the bucks and go "gold", it's still a waste if ALL of your friends are not "gold". There used to be a few good alternatives to that site. Any suggestions?
Classmates.com alternative.?
I too got suckered into the whole Classmates, honestly I like Myspace. I am 32 years old, and have reconnected with a lot of old friends. Also, there is another site classfinder.com totally free. Good luck!!!

I have a account with Classmates.com but it was years ago. I do not remember what my email address or passwords were back then. Is there a number I can call to get help from them?
Classmates.com?
1-800-330-0485 is the only phone number I could find. At least they can help you from there.
I see your issue though because they cannot retrieve both your email and password if you do not know either.
Good luck!

Classmates...judging me?
I feel judged very cloesly by my classmates, I'm guessing a lot of them are taking majors in in the medical field. I do not understand why they feel the need to look down on me if i screw up..it's not their grade that is going to be affected.
Classmates...judging me?
People always need someone to look down on... It's sad, but it's true. It makes them feel more important and achieved, even though the chances are they're not.
I have a friend that chose a career path. She finished one stage and then decided to wait until she was ready for the next stage. She used that time to work on her thesis. She ended up graduating a year after her generation, and at first she kind of felt like she was less. But then she realized: nobody else was up to her standard, and they all got left behind because they were trying to rush. She ended up with flexibility and options to choose her job, and barely anybody else even got one...
Just trust yourself. You don't need any of your classmates recognition( sure, it's nice to have, but you don't need it). Go at your own pace, and make sure you're good at what you do. You'll end up on top.
Reply:they could be concern about you.
Reply:Why do you feel they are "judging" you? It sounds to me like this is YOUR own sensitivity you are responding with. So what if they DO judge you? Does that mean you will screw up more? Dont be ridiculous. Who cares what they are headed for. What do YOU want for yourself? What are YOUR dreams? Work hard for what you want and forget about them.
Reply:Could it be they are not judging you, but worried about you instead? Before accusing one needs to no all the facts, before you judging them.
Reply:Then don't care about them.
They're just peers...no one important.
If they say something to you then critisize them back.
Reply:They're using you as a means to feel more glorified and better about themselves by looking down on you.
Come on, you know this. Its typical.. They tear you down to build themselves up. Its sad.

If i pay for classmates.com will the person i email be able to read my email free and reply yo me free?
Classmates.com?
No, the best way to go is to buy the membership and/or post your email address on the announcement page, that's what I did and I got pretty much everyone linked to me for future parties. I can't remember how much you can do for free on there. But I know they can't read emails for free. One guy had to pay 7 bucks or something like that to read an email. Just post it in your profile page near the top line, so they can see it.

Advertising... teasing you.
I hate it to.
My son was killed so I actually paid to get the gold membership for him. Just to keep in touch with people who might be thinking of him. It is kinda of cool.
But most people don't pay so even once you get to see who it was, you find out they are not gold members and haven't filled out anything anyhow. I am pretty sure you can set your profile for classmates.com to not send you email everytime someone joins your group or looks at your profile.
I know when we were having our class reunion we paid for one membership for the class president to post and receive information from everyone and that worked out pretty well.

If i put my picture on the classmates.com website can anyone print it from the website or save it to there computer or forward it to anyone?Or can people just look at it and not be able to do anything with it?

Don't really know but now a days anyone can do anything. If hackers can get to your computer, steal your identity, banking information, etc. then personally, I think yes. Anyone can do anything. You can probably do it also.There are "computer nerds" out there that do these things. Why would you want to post your picture on Classmates.com? I don't even know if that website allows pictures. I have never seen any on there. Maybe it can be done. Remember "copy %26amp; paste", E-mail or Word document. They all are programs one can print from.

(Classmates.com) Would Anyone Know How...?
I subscribed to classmates.com back in November under the goldmember subscription for 3 months. Little did I know that they would automatically subscribe me every 3 months. Would anyone have an idea how to unsubscribe from the goldmember account? They have no contact number. I've emailed them several times and they have not responded to any of requests. Would anyone know, please? (no silly questions and thank you for taking the time to answer my question)
(Classmates.com) Would Anyone Know How...?
I'm a gold member also so let me get back to you.
I checked and you are so right! What I used for aol was that when they do a *POS* sale that a phone number shows up with the sale. Call that. I use those numbers whenever I find something isn't right.
Also, try writing them:

Reply:Check your credit card statement. They usually list a contact number for each charge. If you're still unable to contact classmates, call your credit card company and explain the situation. If nothing else works, cancel the card.

If you sign in, and got to Profile tab at top, there's a place there you can delete your profile. It may use slightly different terminology than "delete" but I know I've seen that option. Good luck. Your password can be sent to you if you forgot it too, just follow the instructions.

Classmates.com question - if you were not a pay member but became one....?
I just logged onto classmates.com after not being on it for several months. I am a free member, I have paid nothing. I noticed I have a message in my guestbook but I have to pay to see who it is.
Anyone know if this is their way of roping you in or if it's legit? I'm really curious but not sure if I'm $15 worth of curious!
Classmates.com question - if you were not a pay member but became one....?
I was an unpaid member for over a year and got tired of not being able to see the messages in my quest book. Did not want to pay for a 1 year subscription but thought I would try the 3 months for $15. Sent a money order by regular mail. Really like the extra features that I am now able to access. Been a paid member for over a month now. Seems very legit ! And yes I was able to see some of those old messages (they only keep them 120 days)
Oh - their policy is if you pay by credit card and your membership expires they will automatically bill your account with a renewed subscription. I didn't want to give them that option. I will pay by money order again or cheque when my 3 months completes. Will go for the 1 year membership next time.
Hope this info helps you in your decision.
Reply:It's probably legit, but I'll leave it up to you on whether it's worth it or not.

My son has a friend that he wants to call that want to his school but left last year. He doesn't know his phone number. He down't know the parents name. All he knows is what school he went to, when, and his name and last name. We tried Google search and that didn't work, or it did but there were too many results to figure out which one. Is there like a classmates.com for kids or something like that?

My Asian classmates suggest I should spend more time with Asian friends. Why?
I am a Hong Kong guy who is currently studying a degree course in an Australian university. I have been here for 3 months. I am living in Halls of Residence on-campus. Most of my hallmates are Australian. After I take initiative to say " hello " to them, I've found that many of them are very friendly.I join the hall activities (e.g. Watching cricket match, pub crawl, barbecue,partying). I feel surprised that I am always the only Asian hallmate who join the Australian's hall activities. Meanwhile, I've bulilt up friendship with a number of Aussie hallmates. They always invite me to hang out with them. However, my Asian classmates say I should make Hong Kong friends.They say" I don't understand how you can relate to Aussies. Why can you get into their social circle?You should make more HK friends because it's easier to relate to." What do you think? Do you think I've been breaking the cultural barrier?How do you think of my classmates' suggestions?Being racist?
My Asian classmates suggest I should spend more time with Asian friends. Why?
Your classmates are not necessarily being racist, but they are being elitist and cultural. People band together and find comfort in their similarities. Perhaps, being that their are more Australians than Hong Kong students, your compatriots would rather you seek their companionship than those that out number them.
Instead of them trying to get you to be with them, ask them to join you and the Aussies.
Reply:Don't listen to them, they are obv jealous of you. Keep being friends with your Aussie friends, I'm sure they will be better friends than those Hk people =]

i am a philosophy student and just new at it, i was always a loner like i dont drink with friends, i dont go out except when im with my family im 19 , and i just dont feel like it, so my classmates thought that i didnt join their club because they think i am too proud and arrogant, someone told me to be careful when eating outside cause they are planning to do something with my food, and they dont like the fact that i love asking questions at our philosopher instuctor because i really want to learn, they said i was nonsense, and because i look like a goth, and wear black all the time,they said i wasnt fit to be a philo student,i dont know what i did to deserve that threat in my life. like they would poison my food or something, and just because i said to two of my classmates that i dont want a boyfriend when they courted me. i dont know what to say to this people. im glad someone warned me about their plan,but now i feel so sad

True friends to not set out to hurt you or your feelings.You have the right to be whatever or whomever you want to be.You might want to consider having the law come in on this.
Reply:No they just are in the wrong area. I mean in most college philosophy classes you get a mix of people with all different ideas and views. They are taking this class because they have to or need the credits. I may suggest not asking to many questions. The truth is if one does ask to may questions it aggravates the instructor and the class just write down the ones you want to know more about and after class ask your instructor where you can get more information on the topics you would like to follow up on. Good luck. I am sure they are not going to poison your food. I mean I don't think that any of them want to go to jail.
Reply:First of all it's not down to your classmates to decided what you learn,wear or do.
Approach your teachers and explain to them of the threats made against you.
Keep on learning girl,ask.
They don't like to ask because they may appear stupid in front of there mates?.
The only stupid question is the one that's never asked.
Reply:if u are a loner, that is ur individual personality.
tell ur ignorant classmates, u don't need to join a group to enjoy philosophy.
what poison? contact the school authorities and police even if they think u are bonkers because that will deter anyone dong any harm to u.
how did these idiots come to study philosophy?
i guess u are a non- comformist and find it tough to believe anyone and to an extent find life hopeless.
i guess black clothes and goth style are a signal of that.
good luck.
i am a non comformist too. basically whatever ive been taught ive flushed it down the drain. i am a non conformist in action, not clothes and looks.
no matter what, stay happy.
Reply:look don't bother about others..just think n feel what u wish to do..if ur inner conscious is strong then no1's statement can harm u..it's ur life u have to decide what has to be done...don't just bother about others...the world will say many things but u no u r rite

Help. My classmates are harassing me?
okay I'm a bi guy. I'm closeted I really don't want to let other people know it yet. but I'm kind of feminine so they probably think my sexuality is questionable.
so one time in class there's my guy classmate who's been flirting me since the start of the sem. I'm not sure if he's being serious coz he's a very playful guy. we're only about 20 students in that class and he's popular to us coz he's a good joker. so when we're about to be dismissed he sat beside the vacant chair beside me, I'm sitting near the door. then his guy friends howled at us. I just keep quiet. but he really seems to have a crush on me. I'm not sure if real though.
then after that I noticed one of my girl classmates started talking strange. we're talking about our assignment and she's saying the characters are gays and lesbians. I dunno but she seems to be directing it on me. then I went to the CR. then I see them again. she asked "did you go to the girl's CR?". I said "what??" I just felt disrespected there.
Help. My classmates are harassing me?
Well, what I can tell you is that even thou you don't want others to know about you yet; Just stay true to yourself regardless how much they make fun of you. Never change for anybody just because they assume that you're gay, bi or whatever. You are who you are. With the male situation: ask him what's his t? (that's something that all the gay/bi males (kids) say in the gay community. And if he tells you then he's into you and if he doesn' then bring the conversation up with him but do it while it's only just the 2 of you. Males are hard to read when it comes to this type of stuff; than females. Wink at him and see what happens but be creative with the flirting thou.
Reply:well i dont think u should ask if he is gay or not because he is really playing de ***! he is a fool. dont pay him any mind. but if it bothers you, put yourself out there. make fun or your self, play along with him. it won't be a joke anymore and it would get old after sometime.
Reply:homophobes are everywhere. that's a fact.
Reply:Unfortunately, homosexuality is a hot topic in schools and kids love talking about it. You just have to ignore it as almost every gay teen goes through this.
If you like the other boy, ask him if hes gay privately without revealing your sexuality...test the waters one might say. If he is and hes interested try having a "under the radar" relationship until youre ready to come out.
You may even be so bold as to start a Gay / Straight alliance in your school. Youd be surprised to the amount of support you could get.
Always ignore the bullies, they lose interest if they get nothing back from you.
Reply:I went through the same kind of thing. This guy...from my past experience...isn't really interested in you. More likely, he wants to get you to let down your guard so that they will have ''proof'' of their suspicion of your sexuality. THEN...the real harassment will begin.
been there....done that....fell for it....got beat up after wards....
Just stay focused on getting the heck out of there.....as soon as school is over for you...things will be MUCH better.....they were for me.
But...be strong. we are always here you.
Reply:If it keeps happening just let the school principle know because I'm bi and i was in your shoes at one time and I didn't do anything about it and it really hurt knowing that there was so many people that were always getting harrassed like that. If the principle don't do anything about it take it to the school board and they will because thats discrimination and then if nothing is done still go to the media and trust that is when something will be done no matter what.
Reply:Unfortunately this is the world we live in. We still have parents teaching their children to be bigots, we still have negative stereotypes for people with different sexual preferences.
I know this is easier said than done, but please don't let it get to you. These kids are probably just immature, not everyone is that ignorant. Once you get older, you will meet more open-minded individuals who won't judge you because of your feminine qualities or sexual preferences.
You are you. You probably have hundreds of good qualities that have nothing to do with being bi. Let those shine, be proud of who you are. Don't engage in the immature behavior.
Reply:well, you are probablly going to get beat up a lot. that is just the way it is.
Reply:Just Ignore them
Reply:WOW, I'm really speachless. I wouldn't let it bother you just take it with a grain of salt, kids will be kids! What grade did you say you were in? But if it gets out of hand I would tell somebody.
Reply:i don't know how the hell do u expect me to know if that guy likes u or not
god......

Don't pay attention to them....I'd say avoid such people if you can. Believe me, if you get the habit of ignoring such people, you'll be more confident and will be popular. It's true since people like to annoy me a hell lot but all I do is smile at them and walk away. It's surprises them but they get bored soon and stop.
Don't let them bother you....for your own good at least.

It sounds like they are trying to set you up. Don't take the bait. Just be yourself. If you don't react, eventually they will get bored with it because they know they can't get to you.
Good luck!
so one time in class there's my guy classmate who's been flirting me since the start of the sem. I'm not sure if he's being serious coz he's a very playful guy. we're only about 20 students in that class and he's popular to us coz he's a good joker. so when we're about to be dismissed he sat beside the vacant chair beside me, I'm sitting near the door. then his guy friends howled at us. I just keep quiet. but he really seems to have a crush on me. I'm not sure if real though.
then after that I noticed one of my girl classmates started talking strange. we're talking about our assignment and she's saying the characters are gays and lesbians. I dunno but she seems to be directing it on me. then I went to the CR. then I see them again. she asked "did you go to the girl's CR?". I said "what??" I just felt disrespected there.
Help. My classmates are harassing me?
Well, what I can tell you is that even thou you don't want others to know about you yet; Just stay true to yourself regardless how much they make fun of you. Never change for anybody just because they assume that you're gay, bi or whatever. You are who you are. With the male situation: ask him what's his t? (that's something that all the gay/bi males (kids) say in the gay community. And if he tells you then he's into you and if he doesn' then bring the conversation up with him but do it while it's only just the 2 of you. Males are hard to read when it comes to this type of stuff; than females. Wink at him and see what happens but be creative with the flirting thou.
Reply:well i dont think u should ask if he is gay or not because he is really playing de ***! he is a fool. dont pay him any mind. but if it bothers you, put yourself out there. make fun or your self, play along with him. it won't be a joke anymore and it would get old after sometime.
Reply:homophobes are everywhere. that's a fact.
Reply:Unfortunately, homosexuality is a hot topic in schools and kids love talking about it. You just have to ignore it as almost every gay teen goes through this.
If you like the other boy, ask him if hes gay privately without revealing your sexuality...test the waters one might say. If he is and hes interested try having a "under the radar" relationship until youre ready to come out.
You may even be so bold as to start a Gay / Straight alliance in your school. Youd be surprised to the amount of support you could get.
Always ignore the bullies, they lose interest if they get nothing back from you.
Reply:I went through the same kind of thing. This guy...from my past experience...isn't really interested in you. More likely, he wants to get you to let down your guard so that they will have ''proof'' of their suspicion of your sexuality. THEN...the real harassment will begin.
been there....done that....fell for it....got beat up after wards....
Just stay focused on getting the heck out of there.....as soon as school is over for you...things will be MUCH better.....they were for me.
But...be strong. we are always here you.
Reply:If it keeps happening just let the school principle know because I'm bi and i was in your shoes at one time and I didn't do anything about it and it really hurt knowing that there was so many people that were always getting harrassed like that. If the principle don't do anything about it take it to the school board and they will because thats discrimination and then if nothing is done still go to the media and trust that is when something will be done no matter what.
Reply:Unfortunately this is the world we live in. We still have parents teaching their children to be bigots, we still have negative stereotypes for people with different sexual preferences.
I know this is easier said than done, but please don't let it get to you. These kids are probably just immature, not everyone is that ignorant. Once you get older, you will meet more open-minded individuals who won't judge you because of your feminine qualities or sexual preferences.
You are you. You probably have hundreds of good qualities that have nothing to do with being bi. Let those shine, be proud of who you are. Don't engage in the immature behavior.
Reply:well, you are probablly going to get beat up a lot. that is just the way it is.
Reply:Just Ignore them
Reply:WOW, I'm really speachless. I wouldn't let it bother you just take it with a grain of salt, kids will be kids! What grade did you say you were in? But if it gets out of hand I would tell somebody.
Reply:i don't know how the hell do u expect me to know if that guy likes u or not
god......

Are my classmates correct of being angry at me because of this?
Today, few of the aspiring students who run for position for our high school student organization conducted a campaign in our class. In the end, there was an open forum. As a graduating student, I want to challenge and test them, on their future performance as a student organization officer (they're Second Year students, and I am a Fourth Year Student, High School here in the Philippines) so I made a little something. Because all my other classmates just went into asking the sophomores then they'll answer back, I did this: I stood up and asked: "If you're in a camp, and you're already in position, and you see me crumple and tore this piece of paper and just throw the rubbish on the air(which I did)....what will you do? How will you deal with me? With the situation? It was just a test for me, but the aspiring President walked out and cried and he said he's offended, and my classmates agreed with him and got angry at me. It was no malice and just a clean challenge.D'you think I'm wrong?
Are my classmates correct of being angry at me because of this?
Wrong? Sure. A jerk? Yes. You're leaving, so why do you really care? You were just being a pompous know-it-all for no reason other than to show off.
Reply:No.. you tried to bring something different and they reacted that way? You shoudn't be punished for them being scared of whats different.
Reply:i think your fellow president who cried is the biggest pussy i have heard of and the other people just agree with him cause they feel sorry for him. dont pay attention to them when you graduate go to college make friends and it wont be a big deal anymore.

My classmates bullied me about my chosen faith again today. How can I get them to stop?
So today I was writing a paper in class that used the term G-d about three times, (the lord almighty sort, not the greek and roman sort).
I'm uncomfortable spelling out the lord's name so I often spell it G-d. Well one of my classmates was proofreading my paper and saw that I did that and he asked me why. I told him that in my personal views it is bad to spell out the name of the lord and that others in my faith do it too, though I may be slightly more obsessive about it. So the kid asked me what my religion was. I said "I'm a convert to Judaism." and after class was dismissed him and three other kids started calling me a dirty Jew and staying I should stay Christian because 'Jews are nothing but greedy pricks'

I hate to say this but get used to it! If and when you convert then there ARE going to be times when people say racist things, either directly to your face, or in front of you when they don't realise you're Jewish.
I went to a mixed faith school and on countless occasions people insulted me. The first time it happened, a girl in my year actually threatened to kill me - just because I was Jewish!
Next time it happens, simply look them straight in the eye and say calmly, 'What a nasty little racist you are. Is that what a good Christian does?'
That's all you have to say.
And you can also remind them that Jesus lived and died a practising Jew.
I know it's hard - it really is - but try and stay calm. And when you get home, punch a cushion to get rid of any anger!!!

Reply:You can't. But I would suggest talking to a teacher about it. In Australia most schools have a view that all religions should be tolerated. Students who don't are censured. They may be given detention or if it is judged to be bad enough they could be suspended. There are also federal laws prohibiting what is called Religious vilification. it means in Australia at least you could take them to court. I don't know what country you are in but I would presume that there are similar standards in most western countries.

Reply:Paperback has given you good advice. This stuff happens because people are ignorant, and feel threatened when people stand out from the crowd.

Apart from pointing out that they are misinformed and have fallen victim to absurd prejudice when they talk about Jewish 'greed', I wouldn't try saying too much more than your chosen sentence. Just keep repeating it, saying you don't think they seem to have heard/understood/listened properly. They WILL stop eventually. Horrible though it is, you will have to get used to this - this is why you so much need to find a real Jewish community (not just us lot here).

My Classmates?
I'm a sophomore at a very small Christian private high school with a very small number of classmates (~25). My freshman year with them was great, for the most part, but starting my sophomore year, they have completely lost interest in studying (because our teachers are uniquely lenient). I believe our class average is currently about 55% to 60%. I extremely care for my grades, but I care more about my classmates. I do not want to offend them by telling them that they're dragging me down. What should I do?
My Classmates?
Is it necessary for you to tell them that they are dragging you down?
It sounds like you are in a no win situation with teachers who do not know how to teach or do not care about the results. In other words, they are cheating you of a good education and likely cheating your parents of their hard earned money.
Best suggestion would be to get out of that place and get a good education about the things that count for your future and that of your children, should you care to have them in this world of hate, horror and growing pollution.
It is important for you at this level of education to learn all you can in English, Math (though calculus), sciences (through chemistry), History of US and world, Geography, social studies and government. After that you should be getting electives in Art, Classic music, and various work related subjects not the least of which are computer related subjects.
You will not be able to get into any advances college or University with grades like that. How is that school even accredited? You had best worry less about your class mates and more about your future. Your "christian studies will not help you to get a decent job or to be prepared for the harsh and competitive world out there.
Reply:Well, to save yourself you need to tell them. Your grades are extremely important. It's hard to think about but friends do come and go. Just tell them that their disruptive behavior(i'm assuming) in class is distracting you and that you would appreciate if they can save it for AFTER class. Thats the time for fun. Not during class.
Good Luck! :)

Theres classmates that I want to be friends with. How exactly do I doo that?
Ok so I happen to knew two classmates from college that I sit next to. I speak to them everyone in a while and helped them out and shared answers with them a few times. Whenever we talked it always had to do with school and anything that involves our classes that we had together. We never hang out outside of class or even speak on the phone or nothing, just aquainted classmates. How exactly do I approach them to see if they want to hang out with them outside of class? I don't want to seem weird or anything like that and I'm afraid to be turned down. Also note that I am pretty shy and nervous at times I don't know why!
Please help with good tips please!
Theres classmates that I want to be friends with. How exactly do I doo that?
Ask if they would like to join you for a few drinks after work, although if they're married they might not want to. That way you'd get to know each other. Make a rule that shop talk isn't allowed. If you find that you have nothing in common you just simply don't go out with them again on a social basis.
Reply:Do it casually. Maybe one day say something like, "Man, I'm starving. You guys up for grabbing a bite?" You could also form a study group with them. If you have their numbers, call them sometime. You can use school as an excuse, then turn it into a more social convo. If you get rejected, it's their loss.
Reply:oh just ask them if they want to go for a cinema/something. See how they respond. You could bring it up next time you see them after your class.
As for shyness, the trick is to challenge yourself do things a shy person won't do.
For example I made myself ask a question in a debate in a huge hall with lots of people, not because I wanted to, but because I wanted to see if I could.
Besides when you do things going against that suppressing feeling due to shyness , you feel a sense freedom.
Reply:well if u tk in class dat means u'r getting somewhere, if u want 2 hang den show dat person dat u r fun 2 hang with.

Classmates talking awful to my face?
This is a rant and I need advice.
My classmates always make fun of my boyfriend to my face. They call him names talk about him make fun of him ect...How do I respond without sounding like a eight year old who says "get a life" or "grow up"...or the girls on "Americas Next Top Model" who say "Im the better person...and Im worth more" I would like to sound like I know what Im saying and I want to make a impact on them so they will stop. These kids are wicked dumb so I guess I could wip in a couple of big words in..I have no idea what to do. Help...I love him so much.....My classmates is the the 16 and 17 age range if that helps. Thanks

Reply:Since this question is still open, I just can't resist throwing in my sugestion of using a 'put-down' that was used almost universally among the teen crowd way back in the 1940's. Whenever someone was being accosted with verbal s--t by someone trying to be "cute" and spiteful, the targeted party would say "Fer-gitt?! Don't take STUFF frum boobs like you !" (Nowadays, I'm sure it's more proper to use the word 's--t' instead of 'stuff'. Then, if the attack started again, the target would say, "There you go -- FERGITTIN' again -- BOOB!"; and stalk off. It usually worked very well to "stop em' dead" -- (or start the gosh-awfullest screamin' and hair-pullin' brawl you'd ever want to see)%26lt;G%26gt;
Reply:Are these "classmates" your friends, or just people you go to school with? If these are your friends, you need to explain to them that when they make fun of your boyfriend, they may as well be making fun of you and that's insulting. If they don't get the point, stop being their friend. I know that's not always easy in the close-quarters of high school, but you'll survive.
If they're just your classmates, you can't change other people, you can only change yourself and how much you let this affect you. With this in mind, there's nothing wrong with standing up for yourself (or your boyfriend) and letting people know you simply won't tolerate being made fun of (or them making fun of him). Remember that people like an easy target, so don't make it easy.
Reply:Its simple they are just jealous, I know it sounds cliche but seriously that's all it comes down to. Otherwise why would they waste there time saying bad stuff about your man.
Yes its easy for people to say ignore it but when you are constantly getting it down the neck from a bunch of immature people in your class its not so easy...
Be confident turn around and literally just say
"you know what, the fact that you spend your time talking about my boyfriend is sad. frankly you don't like him that's your problem i couldn't care less cos your opinions mean jack **** to me and him... so carry on talking **** about me and him, after all you don't have your own life so i guess ill allow you to discuss mine."

Reply:if i were u , i would just say, u guys r freakin retarded, don't worry they r just jealous that u have bf and they don't
Reply:I suppose the best thing to do is to ignore them and don't let them know it bothers you. Eventually they will get tired and move on to something else. Good luck and stay strong.
Reply:I know it is cliche, but ignoring them is probably best. People (in general) don't persist long (with any "task") if they aren't getting the expected results. Good luck.
Reply:just walk up, be confident, and tell them to stop.
chances are they're just doing it for fun and don't really care about it.
they're just being bullies.
so walk up, tell them to leave you and your bf alone, and walk away before they can say anything about it.
defend your man!
good luck :)
Reply:Just blow them off.
If you respond you are no better than them.
They will continue taunting you if they see you have any type of reacting to it. If they think you don't give a sh*t about it they will most likely leave you alone.
If not.. Go to your school guidence consular or principle. If they still respond by making fun of you-- Than they are not ven worth your time to worry about.
Reply:Well... do you think cats really eat mice? NO... Cats chase after mice because mice run away. Same is true. if they see you affected with the bullying they will never stop.
Imagine one day the mice didn’t run.. cats will be bored

Reply:I'm probably not the best person to give advice in this field, but maybe the best thing to do is to not bother stooping to their level and just don't say anything at all. You know your boyfriend better than they do. You don't have to prove anything to them. Just surround yourself with better people, and laugh quietly to yourself when they act stupid.
Reply:Your best friends are supposed to be the people who defend you when you're down, not the ones who are first to spread your flaws to the world. I'm ridiculously against the so-called friends who stop their conversation when you walk in the door, or nudge each other when you do "that thing you do" that's so funny/annoying. Who's sick of all these insecure friends who barely understand the meaning of friendship?
Reply:just tell them to be quiet and that is isnt any of there bussiness anways. if they are single say at least i have someone . if they are taken say ' well urs arent any better!' then walk away.

My classmates always make fun of my boyfriend to my face. They call him names talk about him make fun of him ect...How do I respond without sounding like a eight year old who says "get a life" or "grow up"...or the girls on "Americas Next Top Model" who say "Im the better person...and Im worth more" I would like to sound like I know what Im saying and I want to make a impact on them so they will stop. These kids are wicked dumb so I guess I could wip in a couple of big words in..I have no idea what to do. Help...I love him so much.....My classmates is the the 16 and 17 age range if that helps. Thanks
Classmates talking awful to my face?
hey
the best thing 2 do is laugh nd when they see this and that yur not retorting, they will stop. now tht will reli annoy them. trust me, ive been there
Reply:dont pay them any mind
Reply:Since this question is still open, I just can't resist throwing in my sugestion of using a 'put-down' that was used almost universally among the teen crowd way back in the 1940's. Whenever someone was being accosted with verbal s--t by someone trying to be "cute" and spiteful, the targeted party would say "Fer-gitt?! Don't take STUFF frum boobs like you !" (Nowadays, I'm sure it's more proper to use the word 's--t' instead of 'stuff'. Then, if the attack started again, the target would say, "There you go -- FERGITTIN' again -- BOOB!"; and stalk off. It usually worked very well to "stop em' dead" -- (or start the gosh-awfullest screamin' and hair-pullin' brawl you'd ever want to see)%26lt;G%26gt;
Reply:Are these "classmates" your friends, or just people you go to school with? If these are your friends, you need to explain to them that when they make fun of your boyfriend, they may as well be making fun of you and that's insulting. If they don't get the point, stop being their friend. I know that's not always easy in the close-quarters of high school, but you'll survive.
If they're just your classmates, you can't change other people, you can only change yourself and how much you let this affect you. With this in mind, there's nothing wrong with standing up for yourself (or your boyfriend) and letting people know you simply won't tolerate being made fun of (or them making fun of him). Remember that people like an easy target, so don't make it easy.
Reply:Its simple they are just jealous, I know it sounds cliche but seriously that's all it comes down to. Otherwise why would they waste there time saying bad stuff about your man.

Classmates! please help to understand. i was raised in a different country.the #1 website these is classmates.
xxx. we look for our schoolmates, people we went to colleges, camps, etc. together. but more than 90% are looking for people we went to school together, our childhood friends.after talking to my 25 y.o and older american friends, i noticed that almost none of them have friends since childhood. they met their new friends in college, work or neighboorhood. most of my classmates leave in different countries, but i cannot express the happiness and joy when we find each other. why americans after graduation from high school dont keep their friends? i love the movie about romy and michelle, but in real life in america you dont meet people who still friends for that long. why? i dont want to offend anyone, please no rude/mean answers. i am posting this question in different categories, because i really want to get an opinion about this. thank you.

Mostly in America rather in Western countries the attachement to the friendship more or less do not get extended beyond a point, except few. In normal the life style are more tedious and parents do not find time to socilaise and if at all they want to meet friends it should be on a special occassions like Marriage, Birth days, etc, that too mostly they meet in Hotels and life is too formal than in Asia and Africa.
Since the relationship and frienship are more formal they do not get too closer and continue the relationship for life, I am not generalising my opinion. Mostly the Kids from School are more closer as they read for longer period in the schools than college, when it goes to college the priority is totally different to concentrate more on future carrier, life and days goes.
The friendship generally do not come from their bottom of the mind and heart and it is purely superficious and doesn't carried along with their life.
It is not the mistake of the people but the society, it is purely the pressure on the day to day life has pushed the priority of Collage/school mates friendship to a lower degree .
Please appoligise if i am wrong and my opinion differs. *
Reply:I still have friends from high school, but I think in general if people go to college the distance between them and their old friends is enough to dampen the friendship. And, a lot of high school friendships are in cliques, like all the cheerleaders are friends with each other, all the band members, all the skaters, etc, and these cliques a lot of times dissolve after high school.
Also, people move away. Maybe someone had a best friend from age 5-12 but they moved out of state and never kept contact.
But really, I think a lot of people still have friends from high school. I grew up in a small town, and for the most part, if people don't go away to college they end up staying there for a long time, of course with all the other high school classmates.
I personally am engaged to a high school classmate, and have 3 very good friends from my high school (although we weren't super close back then).

Classmates.com - Did I get Suckered?
I joined classmates.com to see if maybe I could get in touch with some of the people I used to know.
I have tried emailing approximately 5 different people through the service, but have not received a single response.
I am paranoid anymore and just don't know what to think.
Did they just not respond to me?
Are they too lazy to read their email?
Did they quit the service and the website leaves their profiles?
Did Classmates.com just say these people are there and lie to me?
Anybody else have such problems, or am I alone?
Classmates.com - Did I get Suckered?
Biggest scam in the books - they tell you that so and so classmates are online, but in reality, they have their old addresses and don't update them, nor do they tell you when your friends stopped subscribing to the service.
I have done it as well and gotten burned. It's the old bait and switch via internet.
Reply:Me too! I did contact someone but I just don't trust the site. Now Ive already paid for 3 months but I might say "heck with it!" drop out and lose the money! Report It

Reply:I have never had any luck with Classmates.com. I have tried to delete my profile but I can't figure out how to do it. I never use it but keep getting spam from them.
Reply:degndave is right....I was a paid member for sometime and ran into the same thing [not all of the time, but often enough for it to send red flags up].

Reply:The problem is that you can send e-mail and read them if you are a paying member but if you are not a paying member all you can see is that someone sent you an e-mail. You can't even read it unless you pay too. My wife and I get e-mails from classmates on classmates.com all the time but we refuse to pay to read them. We also can't respond to the e-mail and so on with out paying for a membership. The site sucks.
Reply:I did too! They lead you to believe that you can reach certain classmates but when you join you find out that you cant reach all the names on the list that is because they did not join!

Classmates vs. [Actual] friends?
I just got a text message from a classmate of mine saying that that we are classmates not buddies. I wonder what she meant by that. I mean, I was just trying to become her friend, but she specifically told me that she wanted to keep the conversations of her school and personal life separate.
I told her, "Look, I do not know what went on w/ you and your friend and the LSD the other day, but I just want to prevent you from doing anything harmful."
What should I do? Do you think I should keep talking to her again?
Classmates vs. [Actual] friends?
she just wants to be classmate buddies but when you two are out of class she doesn't want to do anythin with you. not tryin to be rude i think that wat she means.if ur worried bout her y don't u talk to ther and let her know ow u feel
Reply:Duh- you aren't even her friend and you're trying to make her feel bad about taking drugs?
That is who she is, and you are not her 'type' of friend.
She doesn't want to be saved-
Reply:Do you two hang out... outside of school? Or at least hang out in school? Or do you just talk in class or here and there... just purely casual?
Based on that your are not friends. Why do you want a friend like that anyways? I just think you have romantic interest in this girl. Otherwise, just go find someone who will be a better friend.
I think people should keep their lives out the public scene in general, yet if they just not an unapproachable person then why bother with them.
Reply:i dont think this might be a real friend of you!!!you should find someone else to get closer and talk!!!i have also this problem and i decided to have friends out of my class!!I believe it because now my best friends are not from my classmates!!I think it worths it you can give it a tryyy!!!!

My parents moved around a lot when I was younger, but we always ended up back in my original hometown. And of all the people I met, those were the friends that stuck. Just a handful mind you, but genuine friends that care about each other. My closest friend, we were born just a few days apart and our moms were in the hospital together, always joke about how we must have met there, because we hit it off right from the start, I was so young, I can't even remember.
