Moral Support for Chatterboxers! Or MSC, however you'd like it.
See, I know that we all have different talents and different experiences. I'm also sure that tons if us have different problems that we need to talk about. There's no need to apologize for ranting – ranting is good for you. And if you don't have problems, try to encourage someone else. We have lots of different age groups, people with different hobbies and experiences. I think that together, we could improve and encourage each other.
Or is this a really lame idea..? I can feel this thread dropping slowly to the bottom.

Hmm.. I see your point. How about a virtual counselor where you can stay anonymous? That would be pretty cool.. (I don't know if they have those.)

I would recommend filling your emptiness with reading. Lots and lots of reading. That's my strategy for everything.
Also, on another note, I'm bringing back Mooseflower.

My parents are divorced and they have been since I was five. My dad still lives here in Charlotte about five minutes away from my mom's house. I live with my mom. As far as I can remember my dad has always been a part of my life. My dad is nicer than my mom. My mom's side of the family is nicer overall, but I like my dad better (it's his parents I don't like); his parents are weird and I don't know how to explain it but trust me if you knew them you'd know how weird they are.

Please help. I'm really depressed right now. A guy who I thought was my friend - and I trusted him with a lot of stuff - has turned out to be a MAJOR jerk and I got into fight with him so I think that he might tell people a lot of private stuff I've told him, so I'm kind of afraid that I'll be bullied (nothing new, but it'll probably be more intense).
Also, the person I like isn't talking to me anymore. We've been emailing each other for a while but she stopped emailing me out of the blue, two months ago, smack in the middle of conversation about Doctor Who, and I think a person we both know who I'm friends but is better friend with her with guessed that I like her 'cause I was telling her about our epic 200-email conversation that was really funny so I think it might be something about that, but our parents had a college reunion and so she (ok, I'm just gonna call her 'Artichokes' (long story) from now on) and I hung out a lot and had fun and raided dorm room minifridges for food be cause we were hungry, but only found lots of beer that we didn't drink 'cause it isn't filling, so we were on really good terms after that and we haven't met since:(, so I don't see what I could have done to make her mad at me.
Again, please help me. And thanks for reading my long, rant-y post:)

People are going to tell people stuff you don't want them to tell other people, whether they're jerks or not. Sometime they're really nice, they just get excited and tell a bunch of people. I trust my friends, but they'll spill the beans once in a while. Even if the beans aren't true. It's devastating, but it will be over soon. Maybe it will last a week, or a month, or maybe even just a day. Just ignore them.
Hmm. I don't know what to say about Artichokes. My friends will stop emailing me just because they're not good at it, which is sad, since email is sometimes my only way to keep in touch with people. Sometimes people just get mad at other people. Maybe she's been baned from the computer for.... two months. You could email her and ask her if anythings wrong (if you haven't already).
Of course, what do I know? I feel like this wasn't very helpful at all.... Sorry doctor.

It's OK. Honestly, I wasn't really expecting advice because eveyother thread I've posted on has just withered up and died after I posted my post. But thanks, Theo!

If I could I would slap this guy okay? And I need to have a serious talk with the people at your school.
You say this girl isn't talking to you; maybe she's on vacation, or maybe she got grounded from her computer. Oh and by the way I'm really really sorry you're being bullied. Unrelated: my mom was impressed with how well-formed my opinions are.
Admin: Maggie, your opinions are indeed well-formed and intelligent . . . I edited some of them out, though, because I don't want this to turn into a political flame war.

What you do with people who turn to major jerks: Don't hang out with them.
(August 20, 2013 - 4:50 pm)
Well.
Ignore people if they keep bullying you. (Outright hypocrisy, as I have never been good at ignoring anyone. But do as I say, not as I do.)
Also, this person hasn't told anyone anything yet, correct? They may not ever. Keep that in mind.
About Artichokes:
Someone may have guessed who you like. This is common and is no cause for alarm. (It has happened to me often enough, anyway.) You do not know for sure that the person knows who you like, you do not know if the person has a guess at who you like at all, you do not know if this person will tell anyone. If this person is your friend they will most likely not tell anyone. If they have guessed who you like and they are better friends with this person than you, they still probably will not tell the person. I have told at least two people that spend close contact with this person I like daily that I like this person, and they have not told anyone yet. It depends on the personality of the friend in question.
The part about your friend not e-mailing you. She stopped in the middle of a conversation; it seems likely that something has halted her suddenly and has not let her e-mail you again. I also suggest e-mailing to ask if anything is wrong.
Hope this helps . . .

I have a weird situation with whom I like at school...
First of all, we're the two smartest kids in the grade, so people think we like each other. Also, people think we like each other in general, but I say I don't and we don't date or anything, but I do like him anyway. So yeah, I have a crush on my best friend.
(August 21, 2013 - 6:41 pm)
That was exactly my situation in elementary school. I've known the guy I like since fourth grade and in fifth grade people thought we liked each other. It happened again in sixth grade, people thought I liked the smartest guy in our class. I don't like him he's a jerk. Now that I think about it there's no chance Sam likes me because he's actually really really rude to me
(August 22, 2013 - 10:57 am)
There's this girl who's really smart. And everyone says I should date her because I get really good grades too . . . but they're kidding (I hope, because I do not like her in that way.)
No, seriously. Quote from math class once:
Boy (Name starts with Z, so I will refer to him as Z.)
Z: *trying to get me to tell him who I like*
Girl (Name starts with H, so I will refer to her as H. Not THE girl, but a girl.)
H: Oh, he likes [A] (A is the girl. H is kidding. I think.)
Z: You like [A]?
Me: . . . No . . .
H: *laughing*
Z: Dude, you guys would make the perfect couple!
Me: . . . Uh . . .
Z: She's really smart, she's going to make a ton of money. You guys are going to live in a mansion . . .
Me: *bangs head against table*

@Gollum
Wow! I am in the exact situation you are in! Really! When I first read the comment, I wondered when I wrote that. (I don't read who wrote the comment until I finish reading what they have to say.) I thought that I somehow wrote it in my sleep!

That is weird.
