Sounds like you have been as indirect as possible. Really, it there is someone you need to talk to, get the electronics out of the way, walk up to them and TALK rather than text. Make it a time when neither of you is surrounded by friends of course.
Also, when asking for this kind of advice, perhaps Yahoo products, Yahoo answers isn't the best place to ask. This is where the PRODUCT answers is discussed.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
