I know its not exactly my responsibility to teach myself but that's where we're at right now, and i feel like my mother gives me so many pointless tasks throughout the day that I dont have time to learn afterwards, if I dont do these tasks she tries to guilt trip me and it makes me feel like shit its so tiring.

My brother however, does not want to learn so he mysteriously doesnt have any tasks or chores throughout the day, my mother is convinced he will join the army at 16 and wont need any education, his academic level is worse than mine after never being in school or learning how to read, sometimes he struggles with his own name at 14.

My best friend is online schooled and has been sharing her resources and lesson sheets with me which I am so thankful for but its still a struggle, again I feel like theres not enough time in the world for me to catch up

I used to live in a very popular city in my country that had so many options of education that I could've pursued as soon as I turned 16, I feel like my mother only made us move so I would be even more isolated, the prices aren't better here and it's an ugly town and everyone is old and miserable and racist and I have no friends. Ive been searching for ages and all the colleges are not very catering to people without education, i even went to the open days and emailed them and they couldnt help me. I dont know what to do anymore, I tried to make it work but im losing hope and my mental health is getting worse, my family is miserable and everyone is always angry and I feel so stuck and tired

I want to add i am in england so I cant get a GED

She's succeeding so much her parents are so nice and she has so many options for her future, shes currently studying the thing she loves and is already pursuing her dream career in a very good college and shes making so many friends and learning new skills and qualifications and I just feel left behind, if my parents were decent I could be like that. I have to figure it all out by myself and im too late, I cant get out of bed most days because im so miserable and I feel like there's no point, I wish I could be normal and happy

I wanna start by saying he seems kinda picky with blanched vegetables, ive tried a few and he just spits them out, and i always remove the skin from them that he could choke on🥲 i saw hikari pellets recommended but they aren't widely available in the uk anddd my freezer is currently broken so no frozen stuff, he does love blood worms though! When i search for pellets it always comes up with containers that say "fancy goldfish food", is there a difference between the ones fancy and common goldfish can have? Or can I get him the pellets labeled fancy goldfish. If anyone in the uk knows any brands id really appreciate!

I known it's kind of a gamble to buy any that arent brand new but im struggling to find some books i want and the prices are making it hard to resist, ive got about 30 in my basket and the price comes to £70 with free shipping, theyre all marked "very good" but I've seen some American influencers saying theyre way below quality expectations, wondering if theyre the same for the uk? I dont mind a bit of wear and tear but ive seen some with full on sharpie and missing pages

Im really running out of hope, I havent done any sort of education since i was 8 years old, i adore reading and thats how i continued basic literature when i left school.

Im 16 in September (would be the oldest in my class and take gcses next year), and recently diagnosed with autism, adhd, depression. I struggle a lot with motivation, ive been doing khan academy but apparently half of the stuff isnt even in the english curriculum and it makes me think.. what's the point? I also often forget a lot of the things taught on there, the videos are only 5-10 minutes and I feel like its not enough time to absorb the information.

Im going to try 1poundtuitionhub but im scared because I dont know how to pick classes when I should be at a year 11 level and instead im at a year 4 level.

Half of my family is expecting me to take and succeed at gcses next year and im so scared to tell them I probably wont be able to until im in my 20s

If anyone in the uk who has taken gcses has any resources I would really appreciate them, or even if you havent taken gcses, just any uk based resources. Thank you so much

Im 17 and battling depression and chronic illness by myself, I am not in therapy and dont really speak to people online or irl so its a struggle 🥲🥲 my illness also leaves me with constant fatigue, I usually have 2-3 naps a day even when im not doing things that require lots of energy.

Being inside and alone all day is not very helpful towards my journey of getting better, but im working with what I have! Im trying to get into some more indoor hobbies but im stuck for ideas, ive been painting and drawing, making bracelets, I adore cooking but usually dont have the energy to even stand at the counter for too long and clean up after.

I ordered some things to start journaling (i know I only need a notebook and pen, but i found an artist selling notebook decorations and couldnt resist(, I read a LOT, i adore lit fics and have read 26 this year so far

If anyone has any low energy activity ideas to keep my mind busy I would greatly appreciate it, even self care!! I apologise if this is the incorrect sub, i tried some others and my post was deleted sigh

Im almost an adult, I will never be a teenage girl again, I will never have these chances and opportunities again, all I ever wanted was a friend group to go shopping with and complain about homework and crushes and go to parties with. It makes me feel really empty, im watching my old school friends succeed socially and academically, boyfriends and jobs and qualifications and i still feel like im 12 years old, i want to follow fashion trends and wear makeup and use social media, i want to feel like a normal teenage girl. Instead i can't muster up the energy to do something with my life anymore, its consuming me whole and I dont even have anyone by my side to help me pull through, I cant relate to anything, I have no passions or talents and I dont know what to do next.

I also know that these things like makeup and boyfriends and fashion dont determine femininity and girlhood, but i just want to feel normal for once, just another teenage girl like all the other ones. Sometimes when I go to the store I see groups of them, they laugh at me sometimes, but im just the same as them, maybe we have the same music taste, the same favourite colour, the only difference is I was never socialised or educated, I dont know how to act without humiliating myself because of everything my family has taught me is wrong and embarrassing

I feel sick to my stomach every day, I so badly want to hang out with someone, i want to leave the house, i want to get that excited feeling of moving up a year in school, I want the excited feeling of leavers day before summer break. Im so miserable, im using all my energy on trying to make my life more interesting for myself and nothings working, I dont even live in a place with other teenagers, I lay in bed on my phone until I get a headache, then I eat, nap, repeat. I hate my life and every day I fantasise about what it could be like if I stayed in school, i have no confidence in myself anymore and im tired

Im 17 and cook all our meals for my younger siblings and mother, im also in education and employment so thought I would save time and money by getting hellofresh

Two months in, meals are great, everyone loves them, easy and saving money and shopping trips but the portions are TINY and today was the worst ive seen yet. I paid EXTRA from my plan for some fancy gourmet burger thing, the chicken I received for the burger didnt even fill half the bun, we all got about 5 chips each and a spoonful of salad, there was so little sauce that it dried up when i was frying it. I ended up having to go out and buy a second meal for everyone which is a disappointment since I already pay for this every week. The night before last we had chicken curry, we all got about three spoonfuls each and I had to cook some rice and eggs to bulk it up.

ive also received loose vegetables cut in half in the box so the inside is rotting, multiple times, i contacted them and they just apologised and offered 10% off but it keeps happening!

Anyone else experiencing this? Is it worth it to pay for extra meat? Seriously thinking of switching to another meal delivery company

I have no hope for my future, im too pathetic to not care about what everyone thinks, they constantly pick on me for my looks, hobbies, just anything I do at this point. Ive tried grey rocking, i wear no makeup, I stopped dyeing my hair and wearing clothes I like, I want to appear plain and boring to them so they stop picking on me.

I started piano lessons a few months ago, they pick on me for practicing at home and laugh at how it sounds, I sold my keyboard yesterday. I dont do art anymore, my mom comes into my room when im away and posts my personal art and sketches to social media to criticise it, its humiliating.

Im trying to stop talking so much, I love sharing how my day went, what I did, I try to stop suggesting solutions to problems because im somehow always wrong, my mom has started calling me a geek because I repaired our oven because her boyfriend couldnt do it.

My brothers are spoilt pieces of shit, they have more privilege than me because im a girl, I only need to learn how to cook and clean and be kind, theyre allowed to decorate their bedrooms and go out after 6pm, they have money allowances whilst i have to have a job even though theyre older than me.

Ive been trying to teach myself online, its hard when I feel like this house is sucking the energy out of me, I came home today after being away for a few days, the kitchen cupboards are full of mold because nobody uses the extractor fan and the kitchen gets very humid, i had to throw away all our food, my mom laughed at me and told me i was overreacting, this is her reaction every time i try correct a problem to the point im just letting things happen, i dont want to clean everyone elses mess anymore.

Im sorry this post sounds silly, its just a big rant because i have nowhere else to say it, im so fed up

Sorry I cant post pictures or be in sick fish tag because im not of age.

I posted about a week ago about my rescue goldfish, he has two unidentifiable lumps that are extremely large and a concerning colour (pale pink with visible large veins, black splotches inside), one of them has been growing very fast in size, he does not seem to be in pain and his swimming is not affected, he is eating well, i have tried aquarium salt and stress coat.

Im waiting on epsom salt and methylene blue as suggested but today I had a look in his tank and the growth seems to be beginning to sort of open?? Its not actively bleeding or anything but it doesnt look very nice, it looks like its tearing a bit. Is there any other type of medication or something i can buy and apply?

I am really upset that the previous owner let this happen, he was kept in unfiltered tap water in a dark basement for estimated 7 years. I have sought rehoming with someone with more money and experience than me but I live very rurally and couldnt find anyone, also there are no aquatic vets nearby.

At home nobody's here all day, i dont have any friends, im pretty active and popular in a small forums community where everyone knows eachother, including me, but I still find myself being skipped over and ghosted. I think the main part is I have nothing to show, im not studying for anything or doing events or sports or anything cool, im annoying because I over explain myself in attempts to appear relevant, I make jokes that aren't funny anymore. I feel so alien and its just eating at me, will anyone ever think of me? I can't imagine it, I feel so detached from everything, even when I vent anywhere, even in private I feel like an attention seeker, and I think I kind of am because I just want someone to talk to me in a way where I dont feel like theyre pitying me

I just wake up and cry until noon, clean up things that aren't mine, go to work and then lay in bed with a headache for the rest of the day, i dont like people looking at me when im outside, im too tired to brush my hair or wear ok clothes

I cant post this in sick fish tag because im 16, last year I took in a neglected goldfish from my neighbor, it has two growths on each side of it's body that multiple people have told me is carp pox, despite a clean tank with the correct water parameters, one of the growths has grown very large (not affecting movement), you can see blood vessels and weird black splotches on it, the past few days it has gotten a lot worse! I removed all plants and ornaments from the tank that it could bump the growth on, but its starting to have a weird texture.

If it ruptures, what should I do? There are no aquatic vets near me, closest one 6 hours away. Is there any way to stop the growth getting bigger? Absolutely anything i can do? It doesnt seem to be hurting or affecting the fish at this moment. I have been using correct ampunt of aquarium salts and the stress coat but they really dont seem to be helping

I honestly cried until I threw up today, my ONLY friend who I considered my best friend for the past 4 years finished homeschooling a few weeks ago, she even got a prom with her other friends (that dont like me because im weird), since she went to prom she hasn't been replying to me, unpinned all of her social media posts with me in them, removed me from her profile pictures. I asked her how college is and how shes doing, even if I maybe did something that upset her and if I could apologise? She left me on read, she's posting videos with all her new friends and i feel alone again, shes been my only and closest friend for so long and I feel like im now just brushed to the side because im not moving up in life right now (college, prom, internships, new friends, socialising) like she is.

My whole life during homeschooling I've been treat like this, I dont know if its me, I never talk behind peoples back or argue or anything, im not clingy and I dont leave people out, i dont know why I cant keep a friend, I dont know what makes me unlikeable

I only have access to free resources right now, so no teachers or tutors, i have to plan it myself and stuff but I dont know what to do, im 16 and havent been to school for 8 years, i havent received any form of education since, I dont know how to learn, am I supposed to write down everything? How do I keep track of it all? How much of each subject should I be doing a day? Where do I start from??? Its so confusing and overwhelming and I judt really want to learn, im using khan, oaknational, and some free worksheet/info sites but I dont know how to remember the information I absorb

I feel like im gonna end up homeless because im too depressed to do anything about my life, I have a min wage job right now but its an independent business and I previously knew the owners, idk how im gonna go sign up for another job and do an interview and everything, I dont even have anything to put on a resume. Everyone my age around me are getting internships in tech companies and getting into big colleges, my stepsister got into a huge acting college and I feel so behind, im an adult next year and dont even know what i want to do, where do I want to live? What job do I want? What degrees do I want? Should I pursue online learning since I never progressed last 2nd grade? My family isnt rich, I dont have any support or friends or anything I feel so lost

Coming out of a burnout, usually I will wake up and sit on my phone until like 10am, and then continue doomscrolling all day whilst im doing other small tasks, im trying to get better without it but everything to do without a screen feels so exhausting, I cant leave my bed most days and im being recommended to go for a run or start a project. Does anyone have any small low energy activities? I would be outside right now but theres a storm 🥲🥲 and I've finished all my books

++++ I do have a job, there are no volunteering spaces open near me
