Teen Corner

[Comrade Kitty]

I really like quizlet. And I don't have tests at school. I am already good at memorizing things, but it just makes it slightly more enjoyable. Especially for things I don't enjoy as much. 

 

Also, is it just me, or are other people really excited for school to start?

I am excited, but I always loved school, and I love college even more.

Yeah, I'm really excited too! I got to choose almost all of my classes for once, so I'm excited to take them.

Quizlet live or kahoot?

my school uses them both, but I honestly prefer Kahoot. A) you can choose your name and B) it's really fun when you win by a bunch of points. (I once won a Greek Mythology Kahoot and I was well over 22,000 points ahead of the next person😂)

I'm more interested in making friends than school work.

It's hard finding people who actually get in depth conversations or hangout with these days.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I was lucky to get a good group of friends.

Same. My college is small, they all went to high school together. They seem to stick together, making friends will probably take time

[Comrade Kitty]

I feel like everybody here is going into college.

I am both excited and nervous. I tend to be more of a nervous person in general and am having some difficulty mentally preparing myself for the coming change but I'm also excited to make wonderful friends, join awesome clubs, and learn really interesting things.

[Anrion]

I've been lucky in that I have a very nice group of friends- but I don't want to go back because when I do I'll be bombarded with tests.

I am not excited at all. If summer got extended for another 2 years, that would be so nice.

I'm so excited. I don't really do things outside of school and can't wait to actually learn something again.

[Comrade Kitty]

I have gotten a bunch of people saying that I am crazy for wanting school to start back. But I felt like here would be more school nerdy people. I think I was right. (I'm not trying to be mean when I say nerdy. I just mean like people who do enjoy school and are good at it)

[DBlack]

Hey guys, I'm new here but lo and behold there's a teen zone! I graduated back in May and I'm excited for college (coolege) to finally start!

[purpleflavoredpi]

Welcome @DBlack! 🍰🍰

[iam135]

Welcome @DBlack 😊! Do you know where you're going to school yet?

[DBlack]

Yeah @iam135, way down south at the University of Arkansas

I'm excited to see friends again, but all of the school work and getting up early, not so much. Also, just as I start to get my life together, school is coming along to take up 90% of my time again. It shouldn't be too bad this year, though.

 

(Also, welcome to the new people in AVEN, it's a good time here, have some cake   )

Anyone have any ideas for how to turn someone who has a crush on you into a possible friend? Her interests are similar to mine and we both enjoy the same board games among other things. If I think through what I want in a friend she seems to meet more friendship requirements than most do instantly, and since I lack friends presently a friend would be nice. But she does seem to have a crush on me and other people keep commenting in front of her that I should date her, which is problematic to say the least.

 

Anyone have any ideas (or experiences?) on how to transition someone who has a crush on you into strictly a friend without making her or anyone else suspicious?

I was going to ask her if she wanted to meet to play a board game together that we both enjoy, but then I realized she probably has a crush on me and that might be seen as a date in her mind considering the bombardment of hints for dating both of us are subject to.

Honestly, that's not something you can just sneakily do. If she does have a crush on you, be upfront about not reciprocating but just say that you want to be friends with her. That leaves it to her to decide whether she wants to be your friend or whether she can't put away the crush feelings and needs to spend time away from you to try and get over the crush or something. You can't just make someone's crush disappear or "transition" them from having a crush to being a friend. The other option would be to just continue doing what you usually do and only talk about wanting to be friends and being uninterested romantically if she brings it up but with that it could lead to some communication issues if she does have a crush on you.

This girl is not a dog, you can not train her out of having a crush on you. As QG said, best course of action is to tell her the feelings are not going to be reciprocated and you want to be friends. That at least shows some respect to her as opposed to trying to subtley pick the crush out of her brain. If its rejection of friendship youre worried about, you have to have faith that she will understand and engage in friendship with you. Without that minimal faith and trust a friendship wouldnt last very long anyway. Good luck

It's definitely possible, one of my closest friends used to have a crush on me (although I'm pretty sure it was a rebound thing tbh). Especially if you have similar interests as you said. But also as others have said you have to be straightforward about it. I absolutely hate the bad rap friend zoning gets, but what do you want, us to fake liking you that way, or get into a relationship we don't actually want to be in? Or to not be friends at all? Anyway, I'd suggest letting her know all the things you admire about her, and why you want to be friends (also does she know your ace? Regardless she should respect your decision). But yeah, show her that not wanting a relationship isn't an insult to her and she shouldn't take it that way. If she likes you, she probably also admires qualities in you that would make her want to be friends. Of course, maybe she doesn't, she wants more than you are willing to offer, and you can't control that. But good luck, that's my advice

You give me too much credit as a manipulator with that statement. I have no intention of manipulating her nor anyone else that I have compassion for, rather I am trying to endeavor through, to me, uncharted waters while not voyaging straight into a mine and it exploding in my face, her face, or an innocent bystander's face.

Thank you for the advice purplepi. No she does not, no one does besides my parents who know I have never felt sexual desire and my sister who knows I have no interest in dating or a normal romantic connection. The only think she knows is that I do not make sex jokes, unlike the others her and I interact with.
