    Perhaps I've seen one to many horror movies about a teen girl home alone but im genuinly scared right now. Im only 14 but my mom lives an hour away and my dad works nights! He started working nights like during the summer but i was never worried because i was always 1 mile away from my grandparents and my aunt so i knew they could be here in a matter of minutes. either that or on nights he had to work i'd just spend the night with them. But tonight my dad wont be back for hours and my aunt is out of town and my grandparents went out to eat with some long lost relatives ( i was not invited ) so im very paranoid as you can tell. Every noise freaks me out (which there are many because even though its the country i live in a busy neighborhood. how do i deal with this? all my family is either at dinner 30 min away and no where near ready to finish, out of town on buisness or (my moms side of the family) lives 4 states away!! IM ONLY 14!!! I talked to my dad but he wont work days so i have to deal with it but my aunt is a cop and this city isnt exactly safe so please help me!!! How do i get through the night without being scared?

  • What do I do if my ex-boyfriend is getting over me but I can't get over him?

    Singles & Dating - 9 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I'm 17 and my ex is 19. We were together for one year. He is obviously getting over me as he started college recently at a university and he's added a few girls he goes to school with on Facebook. Me, on the otherhand, I haven't met any guys after him and I'm just always thinking about him so it's hard to get over him. I hate that he's meeting all these girls and I'm not meeting any new guys that I'm interested in. I'm kind of jealous. What should I do?
  • My brother's wife got mad at me about a "Facebook" entry. Please Read?

    Friends - 9 hours ago

    Additional Details

    Okay, I am friends with brothers wife on facebook, my brother's wife name is Bridget and she is from Belize. Now, someone she knows asked for my friendship, when I notice it was one of her friends I trusted the source and accepted the friend which was a male. I am single and have already raised my daughter who is know 22years old. For some reason I thought she (Bridget) told him to be-friend me. Well, anyway the guy made a comment on my picture saying "Nice Picture" and I responded saying Thanks, & how are you related to my sis Bridget. Well, before he could even respond, she (Bridget) calls me and says: "If you want to be his friend, then be his friend, don't question our relationship, I don't go around on your friends asking: How are they related to you" Well, I was soo furious, because the question I ask him was just a conversation starter. And wasn't even like I really wanted to know how they were related, I just wanted to break the ice and start conversation with him. I didn't appreciate Bridget Tone and just hung up the phone, I really wanted to start cussing her out but I didn't. Then I went to Facebook and deleted her and this other guy as friend. What do you think, Was I wrong or was she wrong?. She keep calling me back, and she told my dad how I didn't have to hang up like a fool. Right Now, I am still mad and need to calm down because I didn't think she would go there. Its funny how you think things will turn out one way but it turns out to go LEFT

  • Ladies; what do you think about Metalheads?

    Singles & Dating - 9 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I'm curious how the "normal" (God, I hate that word) girls/women think about guys like me? I know a lot of people might picture a sweaty beer drinking, bearded guy with long hair when they think about metalheads. Now I don't know about the sweaty part, I do drink beer, but I have neither long hair nor a beard. Im asking this because I do get womens' attention somehow, from a distance at least, but beyond that nothing much ever happens, lol. I must say, i'm an introvert guy, not really shy or anything, at least, not once I get to know you, I'm just a bit laid back when it comes to first contact. Is there like, something that repels you from approaching us or something? Do you have some sort of preconceptions? I really am curious, because quite frankly, the thought of just walking up to a girl and asking her makes me crap my pants x) I know a few dozen metalheads besides myself and most of them don't take drugs, but ok.
