I logged off of minecraft because the launcher was not working so I wanted to maybe try logging off and re logging but than when I put all the right passwords etc. it says cant connect to server aka the minecraft server?? this has happened when I was trying to get on a multiplayer server it says something about servers being down but all my friends can join them?? so I cant connect back to minecraft because of this problem and I bet its on my side but my tech friend does not even know what's going on and YouTube videos don't really help so...

Here are more details
I was going on minecraft on Friday the 26th 2017 and minecraft servers where now working? so I reinstalled minecraft and that did nothing so than I went to the launcher file and repaired the minecraft launcher but that did not do it to! so than I went to the minecraft page and went to the help side but you guys don have a help option for what's going on so than I tried to log on the minecraft.net website but it says cant connect or something but my internet is fine I'm in a skype call atm with a friend who lives 200+ miles away!! I really don't know what's going on so please help me with this connection problem!! or maybe its a bug! I really don't know.. -TheKingCrafter S.O.S
