Ah man this sucks.

You're not gonna recover from this one anytime soon, and you have nothing to prove to anyone else. Take your time, the shame and self hate is going to be overwhelming but that's to be expected. The only thing you did wrong was love someone who showed you love, don't forget that.

Honestly, saying something isn't worth it. If you are not trying to save the friendship then it's not worth your time. He won't listen, he thinks he did something funny. Maybe one day he will learn and feel empathy for other people but from what you said here he is a sociopath and wouldn't understand a word you say to him.

Hey, my heart breaks for you. I am sorry for what those cruel horrible boys did, but that’s what they are, children. It does not excuse them and is probably no salve to you, but I do hope you can move past this one day.

As a side note, in my time, the gay boys had the in with the pretty girls/ I mean maybe revenge isn’t in your wheelhouse right now, but getting some girls on your side could make for some entertaining shenanigans down the line

I may not be the best person to take advice from, but if you have any friends them talk with them about it, and if you don't (no shame, I didn't at your age) talk to your dad or his mom more about it. Ask them for advice, help, and emotional support during this crucial time of stress. You may even be able to become good friends with his mom, who knows. But whatever you do, don't rush anything drastic since you are emotionally stressed and not calm yet. Unless you recovered quickly. But rum crucial decisions by a trusted friend or adult before running through what you could regret later. That's what I wish I had at your age when I had a similar situation at least.

Children are fucking horrible, its one of the reasons I'm seriously debating homeschooling but having them do extracurriculars when i have children (aside from the other benefits to homeschooling). I remember being in 9th grade, writing a heartfelt apology for a fuck up i did, like poured my heart into the note to make up with my exfriend who wouldn't talk to me (i tried to get them to physically talk to me) and in one class i saw my note being passed around the room and everyone snickering and shit. People are terrible, they have no regard for what they do and how it affects other people.

You can definitely be proud of standing up for yourself and going to his mom and trying to get justice for yourself. I hope this works out for you in the end and I'm sorry you've had to go through this.

Did she ask him to give the necklace back? I think you need to ask her to be clear about what she has and has not tried, and what she is willing tondo to help you. Discuss whether, as his parent, she would be willing to reimburse you out of pocket so that retrieving the necklace and returning it to where it was purchased becomes her problem rather than yours.

When your child makes a mess, you clean it up. It's all well and good helping you move on but you have friends and family to support you through that and you'll get over him in your own time at your own pace. It can't be rushed. She needs to understand that this might turn into a legal battle that she and his father are going to be paying for anyway, so she might as well settle out of court.

That's what I'm thinking, as a straight person you don't just get a boyfriend to fuck with his feelings and go back to your straight friends and talk about how you guys are making out and having long walks on the beach. That fucker is in denial. Give it a few years and look him up I bet he's going to find himself eventually.

It's hard to hear this and may seem impossible right now but he was NOT your once-in-a-lifetime love. You deserve BETTER. And you WILL be loved, in the way you deserve.

Just this week I reconnected with a young man who had a tough time in his teens, Catholic family, lots of identity struggle. Now a decade later he is married with a gorgeous husband and baby twins - so happy!

The secret about once in a lifetime love is that everyone has the potentiality to be that person. You don't find the right guy and magic happens... That bond is builded by the two of you with trust, fondness and hard work to make the relationship stronger than any problems you find in the way.

Is not like this can be done only by one special person and nobody else is able to do that with you; it's more like a choice you both need to make every day in your life. So, if you can make that kind of choice, you're already half way to find love.

Sorry for my bad english, btw. Hope this could help to give some perspective.
