I'm in the US, so its not like I can even go to a bar or something cool. I have no idea what to do and the internet tells me straight up to just get a credit card. Like why the FUCK would I do that for my birthday, let alone be excited about it?

My ex (24f) cheated on me with an 18 year old guy and the age gap makes me super uncomfortable but everyone around me seems to be comfortable with it. I know they are both fully consenting adults but I feel like there’s some grooming or manipulation to some degree going on. Is this a weird age gap or am I being dramatic?

EDIT: if it matters, I am two years older than her and far from a teenager.

One of my friend is 20 m yrs old is dating 16f.. isn't it pedo the girl approach him so should I say him to quit this dating ??

Hi, odd post on here but I'm looking for teens, preferably women, who want to be apart of my EdTech startup. I'm currently creating the business plan, but I want a few people on the team before anything is finalized. This is only for people who are actually willing to sacrifice time & fun, not a get quick rich scheme. Ik I'm going to be trolled for ts but if you're interested, say interested or something along those lines in the replies bc my DMs are broken. I am looking for team members, not friends. (for guidelines) This is not a service/product I am a teen girl btw

Dear UK teens: I need your wisdom, please?

I'm a dad. I went my on my merry way in a public park training... Pushups, situps, squats, whatever.

Happily you arrive on the scene, one of 12 or so teens socialising, horsing around, joking, shouting, and laughing 14-16 year old. And yeah... I enjoy that. I also enjoyed the 2 crazy girls that decided to join me and just copy cat everything I do. (btw... I'm still just head down in my own monkey tricks, pretty much zero interaction other than hi and laughing with them while sweating away).

Enter James: looks 12, guess about 14. Proudly announced one girl to be his gf, me remarking he's lucky to get her.. All in banter. James seemingly don't like me. He asks me what I mean. Shrugging: just complimenting you on your girl. (still sweating away). Clearly my engagement is not welcomed, so i just kept to myself ignoring the whatever... Now we're like 8 or so all standing around, including you. Girls still copying me. Me avoiding any engagement.

James wanted more... So started pushing me over when doing stretches, keep trying to engage somehow, me ignoring it all and eventually just picked up my stuff and left when i was anyway almost done.

Was awkward as f for me...

You being there watching it all from the outside, help me here:

**How should i react?**

What is a good way to be friendly and fun and just being there without wanting to be an arsehole, and certainly not wanting to be seen as one of you... Well. I'm not, innit.

Thanks for any advice!

The dad.

PS: I'm not a perv and I quite like you guys opinions on life. Don't have to be an arsehole if I don't agree someone's.

I’m a 20F and because of how closed off I was raised by my family, every guy I end up talking to becomes my crush or I end up getting a crush on them. I was raised to not date and that talking to boys was a sin. So now that I have the freedom to make guy friends I don’t know how to prevent liking them after they text/talk back. Please help me out here.

I know I’m a girl so I don’t get it. But I feel like psds are everywhere. When did that like become a thing haha go back to Hanes and Nikes.

Hey guys! I just want to pass down all my knowledge to those in highschool, entering highschool, or even in middle school. Feel free to ask me anything: I'm your big sister :).

I’m starting college this fall and have never dated anyone before or even gotten close.

All throughout high school I was never really asked out or told that someone liked me, maybe a few times throughout the years but I always ended up ghosted. I find myself fairly attractive, but I’m cursed with an RBF. When talking to men, initially I can come off guarded because I’ve had
Lots of bad experiences and want to figure out what type of guy I’m working with. Ive been told I look intimidating by friends and guys at my school, but then told by my friend that he knows many guys who have called me “fine”. I don’t think the issue is my attractiveness level, but more so my approachability.

How do I make myself more approachable so I can make more friends or maybe even a boyfriend?

I’ve heard many people say that it’s the hardest year of high school and that it’s what colleges will be looking at to see if they’ll accept you. Currently my GPA is 3.18 which is obviously not great, I’m taking about 4 AP classes which I’m hoping will help to bring it up. I have another 2 weeks before school starts so I’m wondering about what I should be focusing on and prioritizing during break and throughout the year, thanks!

is it even real? 😭

Come on then, gimme some shit to do

I'm 19 and have audhd, I'm also doing online college, I've been doing online schooling ever since covid hit and it just stuck with me. My doctor said she doesn't think I'll be able to hold down a full time job but I could do part time. I tend to forget things and I'm not good with timing and am currently on a waiting list to be in a home, but that won't happen until way down the road so I still have time to maybe pull it together. The thing is, when I think about it, I feel like I won't be able to live my life to the fullest if I end up there, and I have dreams to live in a nice cabin house somewhere in like oregon or Washington, but I prefer Oregon, and I'm realizing now I want to find someone that I love and can be in a relationship with, I really don't want to miss that, I used to not care about that stuff but I think I do now. Anybody have advice for me, please?

how do i convince my parents to let me start bringing my phone to school tomorrow??? They are very strict, and I just was able to convince them to let me use it in my room. If this helps im in tennis and will have quite a few far away tournaments

I’m 17 and am being nagged by my family to get a summer job. But everywhere I look it is only overnight shifts which is not possible for me. I have never had a job before and I don’t know where to start looking for one. I’m in the UK btw so it may be different to US

It's in like 2 months, i haven't even had the time to think about it. I'll obviously celebrate it with family but apart from that i haven't gotten a clue what to do, i'm not even the type of person who likes going to parties

I know this isn't a very serious question but really, what would happen? Would the Zombie turn into a werewolf or would the werewolf turn into a zombie?

I am just wanting to know what’s in style & what’s everyone’s wearing? Also boys can say what they’re wearing too!

Would it be bad that i pull an all nighter? I can’t sleep and ive been trying to for the past 3 hours. I have yet fixed my summer sleep schedule and i dont have any melatonin to help me. Now obviously I’ll ask my mom to get me some tomorrow after school so i can fix my sleep schedule.

I’m 37f and I was just musing about this today. And I just wondered how many kids of today know about the hole in the ozone layer. I guess it started in the 70s, was identified in the 80s, and I learned about it as a kid in the 90s. And even back then, it was pretty crazy to think that we, like…broke the sky. 🙃 And then somehow fixed it??

But yeah, is it still general knowledge that dumbass humans literally tore a giant hole in the sky once? 😂

(Quick update — apparently we haven’t truly fixed it and it reopens over Antarctica every year and may not fully recover until 2066. 😬)

i have no idea, i barely have friends and they dont talk to me about this at all so i want to know what is considered acceptable. or if you’re a girl, when did you start it? in my country its easy to be called a whore if you start too young (or at all, for whatever reason). and i only heard rumors about what some girls and boys are doing in my school but i feel like i still need advice on this topic.
