I was just wondering what everyone's opinion is on liking your friend's exes. I think I might like one of my friend's exes. They broke up over a year ago. Do you think it's a no go territory or is it worth asking her about it?

Well, I lost my virginity when I was 13. I was actually raped I had not told anyone and it came up as we were talking last year with my older sister. She had promised she would not tell anyone!

Paranoid as I may sound, here goes... I graduated from high school about two years ago, and I wasn't treated very well then. I had trouble making friends, and the ones I did make weren't really there for me... what I want to know is, how do you tell when someone is really your friend and when they're just yanking your chain or trying to get something from you?

I have been best friends with this girl since the 7th grade. We were so close and did everything together. We had a great time together, but gradually she started to get really obsessive and it seemed like she never left my side. I thought the best way to tell her I was feeling claustrophobic was to her face and refrain from talking behind her back to my other friends.

I lost my cat a few months ago to cancer. It was very hard for my family and I to deal with it because she was a big part of our family and the news came very suddenly. We decided to put her to sleep because we didn't want to see her suffer. The night before we took her to the vet was the first night I had ever seen my parents cry. I'm 21, and she would have turned 16 this May.

I am 17 years old and lost my home during Hurricane Katrina. I am now in a new state and I have had the worst experiences here. I have been so mistreated and the bad experiences I've had has driven me to seeing a therapist and taking meds. I am making no kind of progress. Should I move?

Alright, so my mom and I have always been close but recently we've gotten very, very, very close. I tell her EVERYTHING! Because for awhile now she has been the only person I could turn too. Both of my parents are very protective over me which does not bother me at all.

When friends poop on you, do you just let it go? Is it wrong to decide that you don't like who someone has become and stop being friends with them? What is the "right" thing to do when your friends treat you like crap?

I'm having trouble keeping friends over the years. My one good friend from college seems upset with me now. I've been going through some rough times with relationships, family, school and just life in general. I'm doing a lot of things on my own such as paying for school, working two jobs and trying to do for others as much as possible and trying to keep myself from going crazy.

Help me out here, please correct me if I am wrong. A friend is someone that should be there through the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful the unexplainable.
