In love with your best friend but fear they don't feel the same? Can a long distance-relationship really work? The Veronicas feel your pain and are here to hook you up with some positive advice in this edition of Rock N Roll Therapy.



Xxxpsychoxxx: I have been friends with this person for almost three years and we have become pretty close friends, but nothing more. The thing is that I want more so bad. I think I am in love with them, but I don't want to tell them for fear of losing our friendship. It's pretty obvious that they don't feel the same way, but sometimes I am sure they do. What should I do?

The Veronicas: This is so hard for you, maybe you can talk to them about it, otherwise it's going to start to be a problem for you and probably destroy your friendship anyway. It depends how close you are to this person. If you feel comfortable enough to start the conversation, or if you feel this person is a genuine friend, you could maybe put it into a letter and explain your feelings. Honesty in a relationship is very important, even in just friendships, so I think you need to be honest and trust your friend to be honest back to you.



Rimheartsfob:  There is this guy I really, really like and he lives about and hour and a half away. Every time I see him he blows me away with his personality and presence. I go up there almost every weekend and I get to see him and hang out and everything. And the thing is ... I'm not sure how to tell him. I've thought about being his girlfriend, but we aren't sure if long distance would work. Practically all our friends up there said we should be together, but then we think about the whole long distance thing again. How do I tell him that I am crazy over him? Help?

The Veronicas: I think he might have a pretty good idea that you like him, if you are traveling all that way to hangout with him, and it seems like he must like you too, if your friends all think you're perfect for each other, then I think there's nothing to lose! The long distance thing can be hard, but you sound like you're already making the effort to go up and see him now anyway! So you obviously like him enough to put in the effort to make it work! Tell him how you feel, and that you think he's great. I mean, who doesn't want to hear that! The rest will take care of itself. Good luck with it, we think it will be great for you to put it out there and get the friendship moving into the positive!



Mafiaprincess: I feel like an outcast in my own family. Everyone is always worried about my older brother, even though he's 20; he lives at home, and is a college dropout. Then with my friends, it's like I'm drifting away from all of them.  I'm fighting the urge to start cutting again; it's always made me feel better and stopped my tears from coming down, so it's difficult for me to fight the bad habit. Then there's this whole sex thing, what's the big deal with being a virgin? I don't see what's the problem with waiting until marriage, everyone has been doing it, and more than half the girls in my school are pregnant, it makes me think a lot about it and about having sex. I feel like my whole life is crashing down, along with that I'm probably moving to another city, which really sucks cause I don't wanna leave and go to a new school being seen as the emo girl.

The Veronicas:  It's so good that you have really good values for your self, just stick to your beliefs and try to talk to someone privately. This is your life and you deserve to live it the way you feel is right for you. Self-harm is not good and you need help with understanding why you have the need to do it. I know at your young age sometimes the world seems just too hard but if you become confident with your goals for yourself things will suddenly seem a lot better. If your friends are giving you a hard time they are not really worth having as friends. Even if you feel lonely, it's better than having negative people telling you how you should live. The fact that you want to wait for marriage before sex is such a great decision for you, when you meet the right person you will be so proud and happy you stuck to your belief. Maybe you brother has more problems than you are aware of and maybe they see you as an independent, private person, and it's easy to ignore someone like that. Try and talk to your mum if you feel you can. Mothers and daughters usually can work out any problems, but you might have to make the first move and explain how you are feeling. You are an amazing girl with really special values and you should not compromise anything just for your friends or people who do not understand you or your feelings. You will achieve great things but need to get your anxieties out and working for you in a positive way.
