kids keen backpacks image
NyuXan
I recently encountered a student on a school bus (I'm in 8th grade, he's in 7th grade) and found out that he also enjoyed anime. However finding the time to sit next to him on the bus, I noticed that he is an a extreme weeaboo (His clean/cut appearance made me denied the weeaboo phase at first) . Apparently the only anime is he willing to talk about is Naruto. Which he seems to talk about 24/7. He speaks butchered Japanese, the horror... He showed me many sites that I already knew about for watching anime especially for Naruto, crunchyroll being on that list. Once he opened his backpack and I happened to noticed many Naruto hentai doujinshi (Original content work) and many Naruto plushies. He bothers me 24/7 at school and on the internet. I sometimes find him stalking me while waiting for school to begin (School starts at 8:10, students wait in front of school gates). Can someone PLEASE tell me how to deal with a weeaboo? It's starting to creep me out.
Answer
Well, the poor kid probably has no friends because of his Naruto obsession (or has his Naruto obsession because he has no friends). Or some combo of both.
In you, he thinks he has finally met someone who at least is able to understand his fixation (if not share it). That's still more than he likely gets from any of the other kids. So, you represent someone he can actually talk to about his favorite subject.
Do you feel he is an actual physical threat to you? You use words like stalking and creep. They have the connotation of someone who gives off vibes of being dangerous. If you really believe that, talk to the counselor about him, immediately.
However, if you are merely annoyed by his clinginess and embarrassed by his hovering around you, especially in front of your friends, that's another story. In this case, I see 3 options.
You can be cruel to him. Tell him that he is annoying , and that you and he are not friends in no uncertain terms. But I'd reserve this option as a last resort, because no one appreciates having their feelings hurt (and certainly not by someone they are infatuated with for whatever reason; that's a double whammy to their self-esteem). Yeah, he'll back off. But now, he's gonna hate you.
You can talk to him like he's a person with feelings. Explain to him that it's not him, personally, that you object to, but certain things that he does that he ought to tone down a bit. If he is as keen on having you for an anime-buddy as you say, he'll probably be eager to do what you tell him, particularly if you do it kindly and gently. He may even appreciate the advice you give him. The only way this option wouldn't work is if it turns out that he's kinda thick-headed. A little more persistence might do the trick. If not, there is one more thing you can try...
Find someone else who is a Naruto fan. Introduce them. If they hit it off, he will be pestering someone else and lose interest in you. Mission accomplished! I realize that this is a diversionary tactic, and all you've done is make him someone else's problem, but, hey, if it works, it works, right?

Backpacking The World?
Andrew H
I want to travel around the world by myself for about 6months and see everything that's out there. My major concern is that I will be going by myself. How am I supposed to meet people around where I stay, and what are some good types of places to stay? This is all going to be completely new to me, so any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Answer
I usually travel solo and let me tell you it's the best way to do serious travel - as opposed to relax or party travel.
My tips:
Stay in backpackers hostels with high atmosphere ratings, common rooms, kitchens and meet other solo travellers. Avoid Hostelling International hostels unless you want to make friends with local school kids and young families - the only exception to this being the Iceland HI hostels, which are surprisinglyfun to stay at (they're also the only hostels in Iceland which helps their atmosphere rating a lot). Hostels that have bars or restaurants are great too.
It can be boring. Especially at night. I try to find events that are open at night and I'm keen in night photography.
Get an iPod touch or iPhone or some sort of palm device, load up the Stanza application (iPods) or get your hands on mobireader (for all other devices) and fill it up with ebooks - all free - or solitaire games or audiobooks. If you can handle the extra weight and deal with the associated security issues, you can take your laptop (I never do, they're just too bloody heavy and there's always the risk of them being stolen when you stay at hostels). Modern electronics are the solo backpackers friend for getting over boredom. Particularly if you seek out a hostel with wifi - in fact I'm spending a lazy night in Venice planning a trip to Spain.
You can also carry a pack of cards - UNO, anyone? - to sucker other solo travellers out of the solo-induced haze.
I'm very independent - I prefer to spend my day sightseeing or walking around alone (I get really irritated when I sight see with other people, generally). But I usually spend breakfast time (its good to go with hostels that include breakfast as its the main place youll socialise) and nights with other travellers, usually making 'single serve friends' in different places. A lot of people you meet you're never going to see again and chances are you're not going to have much uncommon with the people you do meet besides a love if travel. But you're going to meet some amazing people too, who you'll keep in contact with through facebook and one or two you're also probably going to make theeffort to go visit or they visit you sometime in the future (i did a USA trip just to see a former travel buddy as well as Europe.)
A tip that will help with cost is to get in on couch surfing - google it. I prefer hostels to couch surfing but when I go to really out of the way cities it's really nice to 'know' someone there.
