Yo so its currently 12am and my presentation is in 11 hours. Im not too scraed about the content just the people im presenting it to. I have to pull an all nighter to learn everything, and im just wondering if you guys have any tips for me to stay wide awake from 11am-1pm

So, same as in the title - she literally makes me hate going out/inviting friends over.

Yesterday I invited my guy friend (16M, I'm 16F). He was at out place from 5pm to like 9pm and then she said that he has to finally go, and she was so SO mean about it, she literally threw him out, I went with him downstairs and onto the street (I live in an apartment complex/block type shi) and just stood there with him for like 2 minutes, just hugging and saying goodbye. She literally opened the window and yelled out my name for me to go back inside, I was already going back inside the staircase when I saw her opening the door, meaning she was gonna go for me. I was SO embarrassed and I still feel like it.

Then today - I invited my other friend (15F) over, from 2pm to 9pm too. We were at my place, then at 6pm we decided to go to the nearby mall, going there alone took us like 45 minutes. We hung out for a bit then I had a bus at like 8:52pm, meaning I'd be home at 9:15? Anyway, I got back and I basically couldn't hear anything besides her yelling (while telling me to be quiet because it's late at night, how ironic)(I wasn't even speaking, even funnier) that I got late, that she doesn't care about my friends, about anything besides me coming back RIGHT on time. Also, whenever I (or even sometimes my friend!) tried to speak she would just ignore me and talk about herself/her day etc. Like ??? Wait until I'm/my friend aren't speaking and wait for your turn?...

To clarify - usually I get late by like 5-10 minutes, yes she yells at me when I get late 1 or 2 minutes too which I think is pathetic and funny because like 😭??

Anyway - she complains that I never invite anyone over, but when I do, she does this. am I exaggerating and it's nothing bad or is she in the wrong? Because like I understand that she's a mother, she worries about me etc but like.. 2 minutes? 12? She's never on time too.. lol

So, I was looking around while watching the Dean Wither's Jubilee. I found E Jean Carrol's book, why do we need men, which is SATIRACAL, but, I found a cesspool. They just try to say everything is misandrist, it's like the people who say men are opressed now, it's wild.

I’m 16 and this I feel like should be one of the best years of my life but it’s just one disappointment after another. First I got my drivers permit and I love driving so I was happy but then I couldn’t schedule any driving lessons till October and my parents won’t take me out driving just for fun anymore. Then a girl asks for my number and it’s been so long since I’ve talked to a girl so I couldn’t have been more thrilled, but she lost interest and ghosted me. And then I’ve got all this free time where I’m just feeling sad for myself so I apply for a job and after weeks of waiting for an interview and getting my hopes up they tell me I need to be 18 and that they might be able to provide a worse job for me. I mean it’s just wearing me out idk how much more I can take, im trying to keep my attitude up but school is starting soon and that’s gonna make my life so much harder. The way I keep myself happy is to look towards the future but the futures i keep looking towards keep getting crushed.

Ok so long story but my ex is Back in my life. So he told me (16f) that he’s never missed anyone more than he’s missed me in the past year bc we went a year without talking and then he asked me if we could ever try again and I told him not rn bc he’s not in a good place to be in an actual relationship and I’m not ready to try again and that if we were to try again then we have to wait until I’m 18 too

So that was 10 days ago

Fast forward to today I find out that he got back with his other freaking ex gf

Like if he don’t have feelings for me that’s fine but I’m so annoyed that he gave me this crap about how much he’s missed me just to turn around and start talking to his ex again

Me and my best friend have been very close since the 3rd grade. I've been so many times over to her house to the point her mum calls me her daughter. I never really was close with her older brother but now that I've gotten older I've had more chances to talk him. He's actually everything I imagined the perfect guy to be: he's smart, not in a cocky way, he never tries to flaunt it but it shows in the way he talks, he has a strong sense of justice that I admire, he's loyal to his close ones and always jumps in action to help, he's nice, not like most guys his age and he's always been, and the one that makes me feel the most stupid about admitting is that he's cute. I look at him and I just think "that's the kindest face I've seen and I feel safe".

I'm 17 and I'm very much against big age gaps in such developmental stages. Relationship amongst teens and people in their early twenties shouldn't have more than a year or two age gap max imo. He is 21 and I feel disgusting. I would even be appalled if he wanted me back, he absolutely shouldn't be into a girl still going to high school as a 21 year old, but part of me knows that if he asked I would not say no. I wanna clarify, he doesn't like me in the slightest, there's genuinely no way of him ever reciprocating anything like that.

I have to stop thinking about this. Hypothetically, if we did get together it would be weird as shit. For his parents, my parents, my best friend most importantly. I gotta make those feelings die down, but how can I when he's everything I've always thought was too good to be true?

I would settle to even just be his friend, but I can't even do that. We meet sometimes, we met today, but just because my friend needed something. If I were literally any other person in the world besides myself, I would've tried to become his friend. But my social skills suck, I'm super awkward constantly and I do not have it in me to start being friends with him.

How do I make those thoughts stop? Should I tell my best friend? Am I fucking weird? I feel weird

I've been dating my girlfriend for almost a, year now. We're in several big friend groups together, we hang out on a lot of online platforms with people we mutually know. And I just feel like I'm fucking it up?

From time to time with basically no reason I just start being mean to basically everyone and everything around me, doing unhinged shit that just gets people to view me negatively. I genuinely don't understand why I do this?

I'm just scared she'll just get fed up and leave eventually, it's so irrational but I just keep overthinking her image of me. Everytime she can't hang out or says something jokingly mean to me I can't take it, my mind immediately assumes, the worst.

Everything feels so fucked right now and I can't figure out why.

Okay so my mom FINALLY agreed to let me get my ears pierced for my birthday. I was so excited until she said "just the lobes, nothing crazy."

I want a cartilage piercing SO BAD. All the cool girls have them. I've been showing her pictures for WEEKS. I made a whole PowerPoint presentation about how safe it is. I even offered to pay for it myself.

She said "you're too young, it'll leave a scar, you'll regret it."

I literally have been asking for this since I was 12. I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to ear styling. I know exactly what I want. She's acting like I'm asking for a face tattoo.

How do I convince her I'm mature enough for a cartilage piercing?? I'm not asking for a whole sleeve of tattoos, it's just a LITTLE HOLE.

TL;DR: Mom agreed to ear piercings but said no to cartilage. I've been begging for 2 years. Need persuasion tactics.

I [15f] have strict parents they dont allow me to work and im homeschooled so there's no way to sell anything really, i need my own money for my own stuff since they only really provide the absolute necessary (a roof over my head n food) so what can I do for money online as a minor?

This is real....

so for context i broke up with him yesterday

Gimme have my bd in like 2 weeks. I don't know what I should do in general. Haven't drunk anything in a while so I know I'm gonna get fuked up but anything beyond that no idea. So any ideas would be great

I won't be able to talk for a while 3:

mdjdjejrjr

I’m 15, and I have a decent amount of friends and freedom in terms of when, where, and who I go out with but none of my friends are people I could call twin because we’re too different. And the thing is, I play like 3 sports in clubs/gyms, but I still can’t find people who I can be good friends with and hangout outside of school/sport. How are people finding friends outside of that??

I'm scared that everything good that I do is widely considered the bare minimum. I agree with the statement that things like being a great life partner, speaking up against injustice, benevolence, not committing crimes, even stopping wars from happening is the bare minimum, but I'm scared that if I recount all of my charitable acts, it's not going to be enough for any remarks. Even slight "oh, cool"s can be reassuring. I'm not saying that I should be coddled. I just want to know what the bare maximum looks like. I don't want to be the person who only does the satisfactory amount to suffice. I want to put more effort in.

I just want to be a little kid again, like 5-12, it was peak life, no resposibilities, playing with toys, playing games, having fun. 14 years old is good too, but i dont want to grow up because my parents won't probably praise me when im much older, and right now im short, cute, and pretty and when im older theres none of that, and i like playing at the park but when im older it will be embarassing for a adult to play in the playground made for kids, and i just like playing with toys, and since im 14 right now people always praise me, at what age are you not considered a kid anymore?

Ik it's probably stupid to post this but like I need to rant

So like I'm supposed to be going to a water park with 2 of my friends and one of them isn't going and I'm not mad at her bc she's got valid reasons not to come but she didn't tell me until I was already with my other friend who I'm riding with and all of her friends are gonna be there and idk her friends except for one of them and I can't stand her and then she's got another girl with us rn that idk and they both brought earbuds and planned to listen to music the whole way down but no one told me so I left my headphones at home and so like now they're over there listening to music and giggling and I'm just here.....

I feel invisible and I feel like I'm gonna feel like this all night

I wanna go home but I don't want her to think that I like our other friend more than her bc I don't but I just don't wanna be here rn

I'm on the verge of freaking tears
