Don't know how to help you friend. The lawyer would not be worth it, and I'm sure you don't want a physical conflict. People can be a-holes...unfortunately the internet can be used to support this fact.

If you're 19 and these videos are of you when you were underage and nidity is onvolved you better believe you can press charges and get him arrested.

If you're that freaked out, its like going to the doctors office as a kid. You're in the waiting room knowing you're going to get a shot. You feel all nervous and you wanna just run away. You get in there..and its nothing.CrazyLaser

Don't object to anything he does. Let him do what he wants. I can tell you when and if he shows the the vid or picture or whatever, be totally cool with it. Laugh with him. It's all good. :)CrazyLaser

Hello OT, just visiting to ask for some advice on a rather unsettling situation. Well i have a good friend who I've known for quite a while( About 6 years ) who apart from being obnoxious, annoying, aggressive, violent, emotionally volatile and showy, is a pretty alright friend. But recently I've noticed another unfavorable trait to add to my list of absurdities to describe him with. He has an insatiable urge to repeatedly embarrass people. This unfortunately annoying trait has reared its ugly head in the form of him wanting to release certain embarrassing videos of myself and others doing embarrassing things. Now, they are' not terribly embarrassing, but i would not rather have them released. Now, I am here to ask whether or not there is any legal action i can take to try and prevent him from attempting the aforementioned act, such as refusing to allow him to use my image without my permission. Is there any way to stop him, need advice, at this point i am seriously considering severing all communication with him and pretty much ending the friendship, because he seriously doesn't get it. Thank you.whoknows27

I know exactly the type. This advice is from personal experience, **** him, friends like that aren't worth the trouble. You try to be nice, they **** you. You try to be a d*** back, they still **** you. You try to ignore them, and they still somehow manage to find a way to **** you. And believe me, it only gets worse as time goes on. My advice, don't do anything drastic, it'll just antagonize him. Just slowly wean yourself away from him, gradually minimize contact, and build a closer group of more reliable friends that also realizes what an ass he is. Don't be an outirght d*** to him or try to alienate him, like I said that'll just antagonize him, but there are many different types of friends. There are everyday friends and there are also, "hey, haven't seen you in a while, how's life?" friends.

Thanks guys, I'll take it from here.whoknows27

Ditch him. It's not worht having friends like that.

Even if you are a loser8)

You said you were 19, assuming your friend is also 19 on top of the six years you have known him, im sure you have some embarrassing stories about him. I know you said that you don't want to fall to his level, but sometimes the best time to teach people a lesson is to beat them at their own game.

I totally understand your position on taking the higher road, i have an uncle who is kinda socially awkward and doesn't know how to relate to people in general and always has to have his way. Anyways whenever i'm having a conversation with him, it's like a constant struggle to not punch him in the face or curse him out for some of the dumb stuff he says in order to prove "HIS POINT" or make him look superior. Have you thought that maybe your friend is just doing that to you because he knows that you will react in the way that you do?

In knowing that my uncle will be a prick and try and to look or feel superior/get attention, you adapt and don't give him what he wants. Ex: Your friend knows that you will over-react or act in the way you do and therefore knows that he can extort you/ embarrass/ just be a prick in general. So just ignore him, don't give him want he wants, if he talks to you in msn/facebook whatever, just ignore him. The one thing that type of person is looking for is attention, and by not giving it to him, he will realize that he can't fu ck with you as long as you don't show you care or react in the way that they are expecting.

Edit: Sorry i wasn;t very clear, in summary: your friend likes attention, don't give it to him. Just cut him off until he stops acting like a douchebag Hope that helps.

What exactly are those videos about? It's a forum, so there's no reason to hide it.

Um I suggest pimp Slap...
