I'm a 13 year old girl, and my best guy friend is constantly lonely (probably because of the lack of a girlfriend and puberty) and he has depression so he feels like nobody loves him. I'm his closest friend, and I happen to be a girl. So he's always trying to virtually cuddle with me (that sounds really lame but it's the thought that always counts, right?) I've tried to tell him that we shouldn't do that because the relationship really needs to stay platonic. But then I feel really guilty because he tells me that it eases his depression. He doesn't seem to realize that he's only supposed to do that with a girlfriend. How do we stay as close friends as we are ,while keeping the relationship platonic, but also him feeling loved? I know the easy answer is a girlfriend. But then he's in constant need of one, and when he doesn't have one, he gets flirty with me. All the platonic friendship rules from other articles have tips that seem to make the relationship cold. We are BEST FRIENDS. we tell each other everything, and sometimes he's not flirty at all. Sometimes it gets really bad though. How do I make this work?

My nuetered male bunny has a bit more goop (like stuff you get when you wake up in your eye) than normal. It's just wet and goopy under his eye. He is about 10 months old and is eating, drinking, pooping, peeing, everything normally. What's happening? Is it normal, do I need to do something about it? I noticed his tear ducts were a bit more reddish too.

so in a lot of my recent dreams, I've had things reoccur from old dreams. However, it's not a reoccurring DREAM, but small parts of my old dreams. For example, last night I had a dream COMPLETELY different from the one where the reoccurring part was from, but I dreamed that I was on Spotify and a band popped up from one of my old dreams. In my old dream, they weren't good, they were basically beginners and were just starting out, but in the recent dream, they had improved GREATLY and they were popular. Yes, I'm sure it was the same band. Also, I had a dream where i had an eel- type fish thing, and in a recent dream, the same fish was there..? What does this mean?

He is 8 or 9 months old and a male.

One of my friends is going through a coming- of - age phase, and he is trying to figure out a name for what he believes in, but he would like to do it anonymously, therefore I am posting it on this account. So he does believe in spirits and demons, but doesn't believe in a heaven or a hell. He believes that some type of energy may live in a part of the light spectrum that we can't see, and he thinks god could possibly be a part of this, but if he is, he doesn't have much power at all. When speaking of a "god" he uses a metaphor that god is the universe, he says this is how he can handle listening to religious people talk about it. This makes him wonder if he is pantheistic, but he doesn't necessarily WORSHIP nature. He is open to the idea that heaven, hell, god, spirits, etc exist. We are NOT asking for anybody's lectures on religion, we would like for somebody to identify this religion as closely as possible. Thanks in advance :)

My head joint has this awful smell because of the saliva, and I use the cloth to wipe it down after each time I play, but it's managed to acquire this smell. I was just wondering how to clean it to get rid of the odor without damaging the metal or doing any harm. I just want to clean the headjoint, not the other 2 pieces. Thank you!

So today I had him on the leash and I was walking him, and he suddenly straightened up, flexed his ears, and began running circles around my feet. I went onto a higher surface and he put his paws on the edge like he wanted to get up. Eventually he got up, circles some more, so I went to lower surface. He followed, circled, and I hopped to the high surface again. It went on like that, and I heard him grunting too. I know this means that he wants to mate with me, but what I am not sure of is if that is enough to get him nuetered. Like, is it a big deal? My parents aren't like " OH yeah we can totally get him nuetered, it's fine!" They are more like "wellllll.... Maybe.,.." So it would be awesome if someone could tell me if I should get him nuetered

My bunny is a male holland lop who is 6-7 months old. He will run in circles around his cage and have these bursts of energy where he'll just suddenly dart around. I've looked it up before and some people say it means he is ready to mate and wants to mate with me, others say it's just because he is really happy. When I reach in to comfort him he will lick my arm, which I know means he loves me soo.... I just don't know. Oh he also makes the same snorting noise when he is cleaning himself, and sometimes I hear it when I am holding him, which makes me wonder if it is a breathing problem instead. It sounds like a pig! Right now, my parents aren't willing to bring him to the vet, but if he seriously needs something to be done, I could try to convince them. Any advice given, I am grateful for. Thankkkssss!!
