Well what’s it say when you click sound?

Ok. Go to the Start Menu, then click on Control Panel. Then click on “Sound”. There should be a tab, “Playback”. Maybe the first one that pops up. What’s it say there?

What OS do you have? Windows Vista? XP?

Tried restarting it?

Well, do you want her so badly that you’re willing to risk friendship to mae a move?

Try and meet someone new! If they’re ignoring you, then they don’t deserve you talking to them. There are plenty of strangers out there just waiting for you to engage them in conversation.

I’m kind of depressed myself, but that’s because I just listened to death cab’s new album. Nah, here’s the deal with depression. Talk to someone about it, and then put it behind you and go and do something fun. Even if it doesn’t sound fun at the moment, if it normally would be fun, force yourself to try and get into it. And as far as some guy you met on the internet…. well, there are tons of other guys, and they’re better in real life.

17? That’s the age normal people go insane temporarily, until they acheive their independance. That’s the killer, and it pretty much needs to happen ASAP to solve the problem. Your brother have a car? A way to get away from the house for a while? Maybe your mom should back off of him and let him get away for a while, work off his frustration. It’s normal to be like that. He’ll get a lot better when he moves out.

You’ll be fine. I just moved all the way to California from Georgia, alone, without any family or anyone I know. But I’m adjusting. It’s hard, it’s a challenge… but you feel good about yourself for expanding your horizons. Good luck.
