SuperGroove- I have a little sister who, I'm guessing by the way you talk, is about the same age as you. I hear the same stuff from her all the time. Do you really want to know what's the deal? It's your age. You and your friends are at an age where some of you will be mature, and some of you will cling to childhood (well, at least lack responsibility). It may be that they just don't realize that their actions are offensive. They could be just thinking about themselves.

About the friend who ditched you for a girl online...come on, I mean, really! If given the chance, are you really telling me you wouldn't do the same? Are you sure it isn't just a case of sour grapes? I'm not bashing you, or anything, I'm just saying I can really see your friend's point of view.

MrsSkywalker,

Nope. In fact, when I first had the internet(4 years ago?), I had agreed to meet a girl online. We weren't really good friends, it's just the thing to do if you're hot and heavy youngin, right? Well my friend called up to see if I wanted to see a movie. I...*ahem*, ditched the girl, and went to see the movie with my friend. I felt bad because she actually went to the theatre where we were supposed to meet. My friend and I just went to get some hotwings. Whenever I hear of people trying to meet someone online, well it never works out. Sigh...

So you can tell by the way I use my talk, that I'm youngin, man? Not Not Not Not...Well you're Riiiiiiiiiiiiighhhiight. Actually, yea, I'm a young fart. I'm gonna be a senior this year.

Am I one of those immature ones? Sigh...shut up, I am not:D

You ditched the girl to go get hot wings? I was on your side before, but that's lousy! Have you ever been stood up? The poor girl probably went home crying! :(

hmm
i dont think i really ever intentionally ditched anyone..
i might forget.. but then again that can be accepted by good friends..
and even sometimes expected. thats what GOOD FRIENDS are all about..
knowing who you are and what you are. i have a friend that i would do anything for. we both have been best friends for a long time. we met at college when we were freshmen. ever since we have been buddies. i had to goto the Korean army for about 2 years,. and you can get really lonely in that freakin place.. so most ppl send and recieve a whole lot of letters.. i think i got maybe 3 from him..(punk) but then again that was okay.. cause i knew him.
i dont think that it is possible to really get a close friend during highschool or sometime around then.. college friends are the best.
but then again i was really shy during my grade school years.. so i might be wrong..( now i am pretty much outgoing.)
anyways a real friend will understand pretty much anything you do and you will understand pretty much whatever he/she does.

just my 2 cents..
