A college friend of mine died suddenly last week of a heart attack. He was a young guy too. I can't believe it. Tonight is his wake and I am sick on the stomach about the whole thing really. I didn't really know his family, but am torn whether I should go or not. I really don't want to see him laid out in a coffin when I remember him as being a happy-go -lucky guy and always fun to hang out with. Serious advice only please.

I am 16, and because of the life i've led so far, I don't feel like I can be classified with others of my age group. I feel SO much more mature than people twice my age. When I went into high school this year as a junior, I felt out of place because I felt...just TOO OLD to be there. Everyone around me is just so immature, and they make stupid mistakes and are still makeing the judgement calls they made when they were in elementary school. It's like if you were thrity and placed in a middle school. It frustrates me!!!

Sometimes I feel the same way about adults (cough* my step father cough*)

What can I do to survive my senior year of highschool?

Thank you <:

What's the best way to make it get through their thick head that you don't want anything to do with them anymore, not even friends?

even though you have never spoken to them, don't know them and all they are doing is just sitting in the same room with you...is this normal?

Have you ever picked up how someone else feels and felt it yourself? I've had this happen alot and thought it was just insane but then I'd talk to the person to reveal what I was picking up on was true. Other times if I picked up on feelings of anguish and extreme sadness, I would actually feel inner pain but couldn't bring myself to speak to the other person.

Has this ever happened to you? If so, do you just embrace it or try to push it away hoping it will never affect you again?
