I just need to rant, sorry

I'm so f*cking pissed off at my friend from school. He's doing an internship and getting paid $14/hour but he can't pay me back the $25 he owes me. Not to mention we went to lunch together all the time and he'd always be a dollar or two short so I'd help him out. When his internship is over he'll move back home with his parents (he's only 19) eating their food, living off their rent, not having to worry about electricity and all that junk. He thinks he's being funny by not paying, thats just the kind of sense of humor he has. I told him I'm completely broke this month and he asked if he should cry me out some pennies...once again this is just his sense of humor that I can usually put up with but its starting to really get to me I couldn't even afford my $30 co-pay for medicines I needed. Luckily my parents went and got it for me the other day and filled my car up with gas.
I told him I'm broke and could really use the money but I didn't tell him why I needed it or why I was so broke this month. I don't feel like I should have to embarrass myself saying how I need it for my health, am I wrong? The only reason I'm not killing him yet is cause in a week I'll have some extra cash and after the 1st of the month I'll start my job. Anyone have any advice? I hate to be mean but I'm about to that point, I feel like I shouldn't have to explain to him why I need it. Its embarrassing enough to be 24 and have a chronic illness plus being broke, I think even if I told him this and that I had to pay for a new washer, license plates and registration, contacts and glasses, utilities, food...I still don't think it would sink in to him. Am I being too nice or foolish?

You are being nice and he is inconsiderate, because he doesn't have the same worries and needs you have, shame on him. I'd love to slap his ass inside out. Spoiled litte brat borrowing money from a friend with health issues and 2 little girls to feed. He's lucky I don't live closer to you is all. That's all I have to say. Oh, I never like to leave without a solution to a problem, call his parents if he doesn't pay. I would. -

He sounds young and immature and I agree with everything meg and cherieS has written. Sorry that you have to deal with this, but you can probably kiss that money goodbye; doesn't sound like he will pay you. -

I've learn not 2 lend money & if you have 2 ask for the money he probably won't give it back -

mycat, soooo true.... Ive learned the hard way Kylie..A g/f of mine used to borrow or be short all the time.. And I too would ask in a nice way to be paid back, only to receive partial payments..This lead to no paybacks at all... Some people take our being nice as a weakness and abuse it..
Tell him to pay up then never loan him a penny again... He is a smarty pants.... Saorry for that! -

"Where's my money B$%#@!"
