Okay so I'll go first.
I just found out that my best friend is basically in love with my boyfriend. Yeahh... awkward. But they see each other more than I see him because they're in a play together. And they're also really good friends.
I have no idea what to do. When I told her that I might be going on a date with him soon, she wanted to come along. -?!?!?!- yeah, that would be incredibly weird, don't you think?
Hahha.
So what would you do if you were in my shoes? (by the way, my shoes are pretty comfy)

I would do the same things as Maddie! If she's a real friend she'll respect you and Paul. And since it's date she should understand if you tell her you want to be alone with him :d

Ahh-hahha.
Alright, but you seriously do not know my friend. she is INSANE. But I suppose since he chose me over her, then I'm okay.. haha. I hope I don't sound mean ! It's just, they're best friends and it's just odd listening to her talk about him all the time.

Aren;t you marrying him though??
Ahhah.
Ok i'm basically shaking right now because i texted him and asked if he was free on thursday and i've never really asked anyone on a date before OHMAN.;
=D

OOOH. I gotcha! Hahha. I'm sure she won't.
I think she actually sort of scares him... (:
Goodnight loves!

Humhum. Ok so I have yet ANOTHER problemo!
Hahha. I'm a very confused person.
And of course, this is related to my love life.
So it turns out,
my EX boyfriend likes me now.
We dated last year for a while at the end of the school year and then he dumped me for no reason. My friends think that he just didn't want to be attached during the summer, but i dunno.
So anyways, we're good friends and we sit together at lunch and joke around and whatnot, but apparently now he likes me again. Argh.
I have no clue how to act around him now and it's weird because I have Paul, but I don't see Paul everyday whereas I see my ex everyday.
:S
Arhh. Would you just act like nothings different and just not say anything ? Or would you confront the ex and say something like 'Yeah, i know you like me now, but what we had is over and done with and I've moved on..'?
hah. Like I said, I'm confused.

Oh, go with Maddie. That is a better idea than what I had, considering I had nothing HAH! Anyways, your ex's liking you is kinda creepy especially when you are dating someone els.e I wouldn't know tho...

Ahaha. It is a bit creepy. He's a bit creepy. But thanks for the advice! I'll try. It's just, he keeps like making moves on me. But he's a perv, so I'll ignore it.
(:

Perv love that word! Haha, anyways yeah just go on with your life.

Ahaha.
You've never heard the word 'perv' before?
I will. I'll stay with Paul. He's nicerrr(:

I have but I still love it!

Pish you've got Riley who cares! Well Madz you're getting married, maybe that is why they aren't so you know talkitive around you? You get my point?

Huhm. Well well.
Maybe you should try telling her how you feel. Tell her that sometimes you feel a little left out, and that every now and then you'd like to be the center of attention. If she doesn't understand, then you could try to be a little more extroverted so people realize that you're more than the shy girl next door. Give them a chance to see how smart and funny you are. And if they STILL don't like/understand you, then screw them. You have us(:
Hah. Just kidding about the last part.

A ghost is going to rape your dog.
Hahhah! Justkidding. I saw that in a chainmail and I was like WTF?! Who says that?
But anyway, I get that all the time.
Maybe your stressed out. Got any big tests or projects coming up? Or maybe your worried about you and Riley?
Or. Maybe that's a warning that something bad is going to happen in your future. It could be a whole assortment of things. But I know this: The more you worry and think about it, the worse it's gonna get.
So, loosen up. Dance around your house. Have a party. Eat a doughnut. Do whatever you kids do these days for fun.
It'll get better over time.

Hmm.
Well, I think the question is:
What should we NOT do about your parents?

So, they found out about you and Riley, right? And they don't like it one bit.
And they kicked you out. But now you're home again?
And they don't want you seeing him?
Is that right?

Oh wow.
Okay. They won't let you back into your own house?
Are they still talking to you?

*hugs* I'm sorry, sweet! But really, don't take that to heart...They are upset because they didn't get their way (parents can be like that.....*rolls eyes*) sometimes they don't realize the effects of their actions.... if you really, truly believe that what you are doing is the right thing (which I am pretty sure you do) then I know you have the strenght in you to overcome this!

Oh whoa.
Okay, I'm going to be dead honest with you. (well i'm always honest, but this is the kind of honesty that might hurt a little.)
Your parents don't seem like the most .. understanding parents a girl could have. Your not doing anything wrong. You're even waiting until after college to get married. Maybe you could remind them of that fact?
If they call again, try to call them down and tell them that even though you love them, this is what you want and they can't change that. You can tell them that you don't really need their permission, since you're eighteen, but that you'd like them to be more understanding. Tell them to imagine themselves in your position and ask what they would've done. It might make them alittle more considerate.
They just need a good dose of tough love, because the way it looks, your choices are Riley or your parents, and you're obviously going to choose Riley whether they like it or not.
Whatever you do, DON'T yell at them and tell them that you hate them and want them out of your life and all that jazz. Be calm, cool, and collected.

I agree with Anna, the queen of amazing advice giving , it takes a lot of inner strenght to keep yourself calm when talking to people who don't agree with you and are determined in their views, but keeping calm is so much more productive....I give you my best wishes~ see it through and it'll all work out!

Ack. So she's one of those 'if we don't follow the Bible word to word, we're all going to hell' type of people?
Hahha. Man, if I was you, I'd be soo angry.
AHH. I'd be like 'Well you know what Mom? You're probably already going to hell for raising me to be this way!'
But that's me, not you.
If she REALLY is this upset by all this, then maybe its better if you DO keep a distance away from them. for now.
As for your brother, I'm sure there's some way you can see him. After school maybe? You could sneak into his room or send him letters or something. Maybe. Possibly.

Oh sweet, you have a 14 year old brother? Oh la. Hahha. xD
Just trying to find a little humor here.

Welllll, what does your dad think of this?
And how did they even find out?

Ah-HA! That is what I thought. Most dads are like that. He is your key! USE HIM!! After a while, he's going to start missing you. Go behind your mom's back and meet with him. Convince him that what your doing is -not- bad, that you really love Riley, but you also love your family.
Ask him to talk to your mom for you and if he's convinced enough, he might be able to knock some reason into your madre.

Oh man. That bites! Boarding school?! What an adventure. I've always wanted to go to one! Weird, I know. Do you write to him and stuff?

Wow huh well that crushes my Plan A. But no worries! Plan B will come to me.. any moment now..
What about grandparents? Do you have any? Older people are -most- of the time more compassionate.

Up north? As in.. Illinois? (; Hah. Justkidding, again. But that's awesome. I wish my brother and I were that close.

well, then, for the time being...let you mom cool off just a bit...keep in touch with your family via your brother. Just make sure you two are careful about how you keep in contact....use him as your link....just for now, though....she's you mom, she can't be mad at you forever! (lest, i hope not......) (i'm sorry, this is kind of sucky advice....)

New York. Awesome. That's a pretty nifty state.

Ahh man. I feel bad. My advice all sucks. I wish I could find a way to help you!
