Bananasarecool,

You’re ex-boyfriend is an idiot that tried to talk you into something that you weren’t ready to do, even after you turned him down. Good riddance! Soon you’ll see that you’re better off without him. Aren’t you glad that you made the choice you did? When you meet someone that truly loves you, he’ll be willing to wait. It’s a cliché but it’s true.

I know that friendships are difficult at this time of your life. You’re all changing and trying to discover who you are and what your goals in life are. Plus, girls aren’t very kind at this age. Please don’t be upset, you’re following your own compass and there’s nothing wrong with that. It take more courage to be yourself than to go with the flow. You need to be happy with yourself first, when you look in the mirror you should see an intelligent wonderful person. You’ve shown that you have good morals, you have nothing to be ashamed of.

Can you get a part-time job to meet new people? That worked wonders for my own children. Good luck, this awkward part of you life doesn’t last long.
