I am going to introduce different uses of 4 pronouns.
They are 'I', 'You', 'He/She' and 'They'.


1) I

ぼく        (general)

わし       (by old people)
わたくし (formal)

Used By Female
わたし(general)
あたし(informal)
うち　(general, especially by Kansai people)


2) YOU


あなた (general)
あなた (intimate, to partners)
あなた (to inferior)
あんた (intimate/to inferior)
おまえ  (to inferior/informal)
きみ     (to inferror/informal)


3) He/She


かれ       (general)
かのじょ (general)
こいつ    (informal/to inferior)

4) They

-In general, we call ourselves 'わたし' , 'ぼく' or 'おれ'.  However, Japanese tend to skip the 'subject' (I)   when talking to others.
-When we call others, we can notice from above that it may result in rudeness or insult towads him/her by saying 'あなた'.  Even 'きみ' is not an ideal way to call others.  That is, if we know his/her name, we normally call by the name, btu not the pronoun 'you'.

P.S. THIS BLOG IS EXTREMEMLY HARD TO CONTROL ( AT LEAST IN MY COMPUTER)
        IT TAKES ME OVER AN HOUR TO TYPE AND RE-TYPE AND UPLOAD PICTURES
        AND MAKE ALTERATION.  EVERYTIME WHEN I SET EVERYTHING WELL ON
        THE SCREEN, WHEN IT COMES TO BE PUBLISHED, IT TURNS OUT THAT EVERY-
        THING IS IN WRONG POSITIONS AND WRONG FONT AND COLOUR...
  
        THEREFORE, MAYBE IT IS A BIT WEIRD TO PUT PHOTOS AT THE END,
        HOWEVER, I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO ARRANGE THEM IN RIGHT  
        ORDERS BELOW CORRESPONDING PARAGRAPHS.  SORRY FOR THAT.
