Jakob42: Hi. A/S?

MiseryChick: 16/f. U?

Jakob42: 21/m. What do you need adivce for?

MiseryChick: Everything. :\

Jakob42: LOL. Cool nickname.

MiseryChick: Thanks. Kind of a catchphrase for me. Where's yours from?

Jakob42: After Jakob Dylan. Wallflowers guy. People say I look like him.

MiseryChick: That's cool.

Jakob42: So you want to talk about what's bothering you? People say I'm a good listener. :)

MiseryChick: Yeah I guess. Don't have anyone else to talk to. *sighs* I'm just depressed right now is all. I don't have very many friends, and I'm not very popular. Usually it doesn't bother me, but I'm feeling very down about myself right now.

Jakob42: OIC. Why do you think it's bothering you now?

MiseryChick: I dunno. That's what I don't get. Nothing seems to be working out for me right now.

Jakob42: Really? Like what?

MiseryChick: I don't get along with my family, my teachers can't stand me, and the other ppl in my class are scared of me. LOL.

Jakob42: Awww. :( Do you have any friends you can talk to?

MiseryChick: Well I have a best friend, but that's about it. She's unpopular too, but it never seems to bother her. I can't really talk to her about it.

Jakob42: Oh. I wish I could help you, but all I can really tell you is that it will all pass eventually.

MiseryChick: Thanks. But... there's one other thing. I think this is what bothers me the most.

Jakob42: What's that?

MiseryChick: Well I feel really weird telling a complete stranger this.

Jakob42: LOL. I know what you mean. But maybe you could use a new perspective.

MiseryChick: Maybe. Well there's this guy I really like. I've never felt this way about anyone before, so I guess I'm pretty serious about it. But he's older than I am, and I don't see why he'd care about me. Also, I don't want to tell him because I'm afraid he wouldn't want to be friends anymore if he found out that I like him.

Jakob42: Ohh. That's tough, I know. I have the same problem.

MiseryChick: Really?

Jakob42: Yeah. I'm really into this girl I know who hangs out with me and my friend sometimes. She's younger than I am, but she's really cool, and... I just like her more than I've ever liked anyone before.

MiseryChick: Why don't you tell her?

Jakob42: Same reason. I'm scared. I'm really pretty shy.

MiseryChick: Looks like we're both stuck then. LOL. You never know, though. Maybe she likes you.

Jakob42: I wish. You should at least hint to this guy that you like him. If he likes you back, he'll catch on. I mean, I'd love it if this girl would say that she liked me. It would like make my life or something. :)

MiseryChick: Same here. You should tell her.

Jakob42: Well then.

MiseryChick: Well then.

Jakob42: roflmao

MiseryChick: Dang, I gotta go. Thanks for the advice.

Jakob42: NP. Hope things work out with your guy.

MiseryChick: Thanks. Good luck with that girl. Hey, you can have the room if you want.
