You are always going to experience some not-so-niceness in any online or physical community. I will say that the art communities tend to have more drama, and if that's where your stress is coming from, I'd avoid it for a little while. If the person's behavior was blatantly rude or harassment, you can report them. There are some unkind people everywhere, but there are plenty of kind people too! As I said before, if you dwell a lot on the oekaki adoptables section, you are more likely to run into negative situations. Try hanging around other parts of the site.

As for your "friend," if they still think your friendship exists, make it clear to them that you are through and will not have that behavior. If they continue, tell a teacher-- or better yet, their parents.

You are loved, and people care about you. Good luck!

Hmm, I don't know much to say but try to talk it out. Try to understand what the problem is. Chances are, you did nothing, and they're just bad-hearted people. You don't need to worry about them because they don't care and aren't worth anything in your life. All that negativity is most likely an inner cry for attention. The one thing I've learned about bullies is that usually there is some internal crisis going on. They bully you to bring you down to the level in which they value themselves. Sad but true.

Try to not think about it. You are an amazing person and don't ever forget that. ^^ They may beat you down but in the end, this is your life, and not theirs. You have the final say in opinions and power over your own choices and character. In twenty years, none of this will matter anyways, so why let the little things bother you. Put your attention towards life changing things like grades and collage. In the end, it removes a lot of stress and overall makes you a happier person.

Oh, and whoever it is that threw trash at you, they aren't your friend. True friends do not treat each other like that. That is utterly rude and disrespectful. Try to move on; you'll be grateful later. There are people out there far better than that. Try to befriend a few. c:

i just realized that i along with everyone i love is going to die one day and that i'll never be able to see them or hear them again and now i'm in tears and i don't know why anymore
i've been so emotional these past two weeks because my cat, who was one of the only things keeping me emotionally stable, died wednesday of last week
i really just need a hug but i've barely had any contact with other people because i've been out of school. last week it was because of my cat and this week it's because i'm sick with the flu.
i just need my friends..
i wanted to invite them all to do something with me this weekend, but if i'm not sick, i have to go do something with my grandparents on saturday.
my gf probably won't be able to do anything on sunday, my best friend's mom is afraid that, since im gay, my friend is too (she's not.. and just because i'm gay and your kid is friends with me doesn't mean she is too!! just because she's a girl doesn't mean i like her in that way. and even if she was gay, that's not even a bad thing!) and therefore barely lets us hang out outside of school, and my other friend has to go to her weekend classes.
i just feel so alone...
a pm would be greatly appreciated. i really need a friend right now.

I miss him.
I really do, I miss him so much.
We're not dating or anything but I feel so happy with him. He makes me laugh and I love laughing with him. I think he's flirting with me and I know that I am flirting with him, but I feel like I shouldn't do that. I'm only going to end up hurting myself. Why? Well, there's a 30% chance that he's staying for another year but a 70% chance that he's moving back to his country (and it's like a 6-8 hours airplane ride away). When I'm around him, I can be myself, laugh unbelievably loud, "argue" about which TV show is better than whatnot (because we are both TV shows/movie geeks) and make sarcastic jokes around him. I just feel so comfortable with him. When I'm not with him, I feel so bored and don't feel as happy when I'm with him. Sometimes in my previous class (before my class with him), I get super happy and I can feel myself unbelievably excited for that class. I think he might know that I like him, but I haven't done anything (such as: asking him out) because he's probably not going to be here next year- and I know that would hurt me. I don't know what to do. I really want to tell him how I feel but I don't think it would be wise to do and I wouldn't know how to do it.

Ah, drama sucks. I'm getting pretty sick of it.

If anyone needs someone to talk to, I'm open!

Take the leap... tell him. Holding it inside will only sour an amazing relationship. Besides, you're both still young, right? You could make a long distance relationship work and when you both get a little older, wiser, and graduate, meet back up and continue on, either in his country, yours, or another one entirely!

This is the season of love, of sharing your feelings, of being open and honest with those you care about.

If you really feel about him the way you wrote, don't sell yourself short, and give the two of you a chance! Who knows... he may be feeling the exact same way!

Good luck to the two of you!! Happy Valentines Day!!

hello
so i've been dealing with what you would call a "toxic friendship" for a pretty long time now.
she says she's my friend, but makes homophobic jokes to me as well as forces me to go to church with her
she will punch or kick me if I tell her off for anything, and it got to the point where I came home with bruises and had to explain them to my parents
she says she's just "playing around"
but that not how friends treat each other, or should treat each other

the reason I didn't realize this friendship was toxic is she was the first friend I ever had, so I thought this was normal. it really wasn't that bad when I first met her, she just occasionally guilted me into things and took advantage of me
but now it's gotten to the point where some days I'm afraid to go to school
she makes me feel awful about myself, calling me ugly and fat, among other things

whenever I dry to leave her she says that no one else cares about her, or that I'm the only one who likes her


Honestly I'm really unsure about what to do at this point, her parents semi know about this, as well as mine but they won't do anything about it

any advice would be lovely

you should really talk to your parents. that's not good :'(
you don't deserve that and if you don't know what to do, then talk to your parents. they will handle the situation from there. that's what they are here for!! as for my advice, i have had a so-called "friend" that used to punch all of my friends all of the time. of course this was when we were young and she honestly wasn't doing it intentionally. we eventually told her that she couldn't sit with us because of her behavior and soon enough she stopped. talking to them, or even your parents, will really help out. even if it is "just playing" it sounds like it has gotten out of hand if you are returning from home with bruises. please, for your safety, leave this girl and talk to some other people. i don't know this personal in real life. but from what you said i can conclude that you shouldn't be around her, no one should if she is to act that way. talk to your counselor. she needs help. seriously. don't fall for her tricks of no one caring about her because it seems she doesn't even care about you if she's going to harm you daily with insults and physical violence. so, it would be best to talk to someone in real life about this. i'm so sorry to hear that she is your first friend. i hope that you can learn that not everyone is like this, there are actually really nice people out there. you'll come across a few rude ones. and that's okay. you'll know them when you see them. it is okay to get new friends if you feel they are really negatively impacting your life. talk to someone c:

My best friend told me I'm not her best friend. (Although she sent me a paragraph a day ago about our"special bond") she Makes me feel guilty since she's going through family stuff, but I'm still upset. Is that rude? Is it only caring about my problem? (In which I don't, I do care but she's making it seem like I'm self centered)
I just want a best friend, like my dad has had a best friend for nearly 30 years now, and it legitimately bothers me the the point of shaking. Not multiple close friends (I have them of course), but I want someone who I can trust more than anybody with anything. She called me her diary and now I'm just... a friend. Still wondering if that's still a thing.
Everyone likes her more, so I guess moving schools won't be so bad.
But I'll still have to wait 2 years.
