Consider Killing Myself

Question:

I went to a Youth Group Converence this weekend. It was the best time of my life. I met a guy and we stayed up all night talking. He kissed me. He said I was beautiful. The next day we held hands. It was wonderful. I am simply in love with him.

He lives a few hours away from me, and now he won’t accept my friend request on Myspace. It has made me consider killing myself. He actully denied my request. Please help

Now wait a minute. You’re thinking of killing your beautiful self because a louse of a guy led you on? Be a friend to yourself. If there wasn’t a mistake here or some kind of misunderstanding, then he seems to be a guy to likes to get a girl “snowed,” and then drop her. Don’t waste yourself on that. I can see that it would be upsetting. I would hate for it to happen to me, and I’d wonder if he meant anything at all that he’d said to me. But “yourself” needs an understanding friend right now, so be that friend. Some day, a girl will pull the same stunt on this guy, and perhaps he’ll develop a little empathy.
