HEy high school help please?

Just started a new high school (its a high school and middle school combined). The one of my elementary schol friends who goes here kinda ditched me when i asked her for help around the school… ouch… and i also had a bit of trouble making friends. why? its because no matter how much i smile, ask questions, and try to talk to them, they ignore me and give me a poker face or a „why are you talking to me?“ face, and its really embarassing. these rude girls have a TON of nice friends that i would like to interact with, but i can’t really do that because the rude girls and their friends are really close and i don’t think they really want me to be in their clique. but the only good news is, i met a really nice girl Amy, she introduced me to one of her friends. I also made another friend in choir class. so i have 3 friends. i asked amy to give me a tour of the school and she gladly gave me one. she introcuded me to 5-10 of her other friends, they said hi and stuff, but they weren’t really interested in becoming friends with me. I’m really scared, i have friends in only 1 of my class… i really want to make friends, but the mean girls keep me away from the nice girls, and some other girls don’t even want to talk to me. there are no school clubs or sports that i can join, and it seems girls here are really close friends and aren’t interested in letting me in (i mean i dress nicely and behave, whats the problem? is it my race that bothers them or what?) in most of my classes we had to pick a partner for an activity, and in every class, whoever i asked, they already had a partner or before i had a chance to ask, they woould totally ignore me smack infront of them and choose someone else. they don’t even know me, whats the problem here? Can you please help! thanks for making my day 🙂
OH BTW i kind of hinted amy of why girls were so rude and closed off… she said girls here really judge by your looks… so if you don’t „look“ popular enough, they wont even try to come near you. She agreed that it was kind of wierd, but its just them. BTW for the first 2 days of school i wore the nicest designer clothes from Nordstrom that i owned… so idk why thats not enough for them?
LOL no my old friend from elementary school. stay on topic guys…

Crushed by breakup! Want my ex girlfriend back! Please help!!?

Its been two months since my girlfriend of 7 months broke up with me. I miss her every day. I am constantly reminded of her throughout each day. When she broke up with me she said she needed time and needed to do this for her. I was crushed. We had an amazing summer together. We were never apart. Three weeks after we broke up she was back with her ex from before me. This news killed me because I was hoping she would come back to me. We never fought and got along great. I just don’t know what went wrong. She told me I was the best looking guy she ever dated too (so i know it wasn’t an attraction thing). I texted her right after the breakup for the first couple weeks. And tried calling her and she never would pick up. When we were together she told me wanted to marry me and we always talked about our future. Well now she broke up with the guy she was with right after us and is on to another random deush. The guy she is dating now used to hound her when we were dating but ignored him since she was with me. And she just broke up with the deush and she’s single again. Now I am feeling anxious to win her back before another guy moves in. When we were together she used to say to me if we ever broke up would you fight for me. And I always was like what? She is 19 and I’m 22. I just wish she would wake up and realize how much I love her and come back to me. I miss her she is everything I want in a girl. When i go out now I don’t really care about other girls. Everyone tells me to move on. But its like she is still with me no matter what i do. Like I try not to think about her then i do and look at her facebook then see her and it cuts me like a hot poker. And i have to go punch the wall. I am really torn up over her. I moved to the same city as her and now I dont know anyone really and am struggling to find another job. I just don’t know how I could mean nothing to her when I love her and we were so great together. I just don’t know what to do. I wish she would call me or talk to me on facebook or something. I miss her so much i used to talk to her everyday. Now that she is single again I want to get her back. I love her so much. I would do anything to have her back. I was thinking I could send her flowers and write a little note like I still love you and am thinking of you. Should I try this or something else to try and get her back? Because I dont want her to think I don’t care about her. I have tried this no contact and she like texts me once every blue moon wonderin what im up to. Someone please help me figure out a way to get her back. Thanks..

What do people think about this?Vermont legalizes gay marriage with veto override?

Vermont legalizes gay marriage with veto override

MONTPELIER, Vt. – Vermont on Tuesday became the fourth state to legalize gay marriage — and the first to do so with a legislature’s vote.

The House recorded a dramatic 100-49 vote, the minimum needed, to override Gov. Jim Douglas‘ veto. Its vote followed a much easier override vote in the Senate, which rebuffed the Republican governor with a vote of 23-5.

Vermont was the first state to legalize civil unions for same-sex couples and joins Connecticut, Massachusetts and Iowa in giving gays the right to marry. Their approval of gay marriage came from the courts.

Tuesday morning’s legislative action came less than a day after Douglas issued a veto message saying the bill would not improve the lot of gay and lesbian couples because it still would not provide them rights under federal and other states‘ laws.

Douglas called override „not unexpected.“ He had called the issue of gay marriage a distraction during a time when economic and budget issues were more important.

„What really disappoints me is that we have spent some time on an issue during which another thousand Vermonters have lost their jobs,“ the governor said Tuesday. „We need to turn out attention to balancing a budget without raising taxes, growing the economy, putting more people to work.“

House Speaker Shap Smith’s announcement of the vote brought an outburst of jubilation from some of the hundreds packed into the gallery and the lobby outside the House chamber, despite the speaker’s admonishment against such displays.

Among the celebrants in the lobby were former Rep. Robert Dostis, D-Waterbury, and his longtime partner, Chuck Kletecka. Dostis recalled efforts to expand gay rights dating to an anti-discrimination law passed in 1992.

„It’s been a very long battle. It’s been almost 20 years to get to this point,“ Dostis said. „I think finally, most people in Vermont understand that we’re a couple like any other couple. We’re as good and as bad as any other group of people. And now I think we have a chance to prove ourselves here on forward that we’re good members of our community.“

Dostis said he and Kletecka will celebrate their 25th year together in September.

„Is that a proposal?“ Kletecka asked.

„Yeah,“ Dostis replied. „Twenty-five years together, I think it’s time we finally got married.“

Craig Bensen, a gay marriage opponent who had lobbied unsuccessfully for a nonbinding referendum on the question, said he was disappointed but believed gay marriage opponents were outspent by supporters by a 20-1 margin.

„The other side had a highly funded, extremely well-oiled machine with all the political leadership except the governor pushing to make this happen,“ he said. „The fact that it came down to this tight a vote is really astounding.“

Also in the crowd was Michael Feiner, a farmer from Roxbury and gay marriage supporter, who took a break from collecting sap for maple syrup-making to come to the Statehouse.

„I’m taking a break to come and basically make sure that I was here to witness history,“ he said.

The House had initially approved the bill last week with a 95-52 vote. Smith and his leadership team worked through the weekend to try to persuade some legislators to change their minds.

One who did was first-term Rep. Jeff Young, D-St. Albans. He said he continued to be philosophically opposed to gay marriage, but decided that voting with his fellow Democrats would help him be an effective legislator in the future.

„You realize that, you know, it’s a poker game in some ways,“ Young said. „Chips on the table. I’m a freshman. I have no chips. If I … had 20 years of chips, I probably could play any card I want. I don’t have that option.“

He added, „It’s the way the political game is played.“

The girl i loved for 3 year is now engaged to my best friend but I’m very upset?

7 days ago my best friend James suddenly proposed to his girlfriend Linda (the girl i love) in front of everyone at his parents 17th anniversary party held at his parents house, everyone was excited and supported James, she was speechless and happily accepted.
i put up a poker-face and congratulated them, although i am suppose to be happy for them it hurts me alot deep inside.
whilst everybody was celebrating the happy news & having drinks and everything downstairs, i went upstairs all alone and was sulking in secret. unexpectedly one of Linda’s friend (she is called Tanya, a girl i know from my college days) came up saw me crying, which was kind of embarrassing.
i asked her why she was here and she said only came because it was too noisy downstairs.
she somehow knew about my crush on Linda and said that i must be feeling heart broken.
i wasn’t in a good mood & didn’t say anything, after a short moment of silence she said that i looked cute when i cried. i looked at her and she then said that if there is anything she can do for me she’d do it, i wanted some comfort and i told her that i wanted to have sex with her, at first she rejected me and called me an idiot and then she changed her mind and agreed to it. (i don’t know why)

everybody was still partying while i went & used James bedroom and slept with Tanya.
after we were both done Tanya asked me a 2 questions:

Q1. Why did you ask me to have sex with you? Maybe you kind of liked me?
My answer: Not really. It’s cause you called me cute and i just thought you’d say yes

Q2. If i became a fine women like Linda, would you fall in love with me?
My answer: I don’t know about that

Based on those 2 questions, i am assuming she must of loved me?
Although I don’t really love Tanya do you think i should give her a try and see how it goes?
Since Linda is getting married to my best friend i am thinking should give up on my unrequited love?
I’ve known James since we were 5 years old, he’s not the type of person who would do these type of things
