Today was Independence Day. During the speech in my school, the principal kept talking about the Jantar Mantar protests. He did not say it directly, but he was saying that students are being manipulated by social media. He said they go there, do violence, and use bad language.

In my mind I could only see those videos where children’s and girls heads were open up, and how the police were beating people with sticks. They did not even spare journalists and doctors. Still, at the end, they are blaming the students.

Real independence will not come until the teachers, whom we call "Guru", wake up. I am not saying they are against us on purpose. Their news and reports are like that, so they cannot even think the government is wrong.

I missed 5 days of schl and during that time my teach completed a whole ch- named trigno

When I came back he was like a bit angry and insulting me for not answering some basic ncert que like from his persective I missed a whole chap but that felt a bit too much

so idk why but i said to him AMA from this chap tomorrow, I’ll solve it

He laughed and started speaking out loud in the class so everyone can hear

next day he gave me some random questions and I solved all of them without much hesitation

Honestly, it made me realize how overhyped Class 10 and is not that big deal w the resources we have today u have YT, AI, QB etc u can learn an entire chapter way faster than sitting through weeks of classes

the way people treat it like some impossible academic milestone feels exaggerated to me

mb ts is js my brain overthinking everything lol Socrates had this whole "que everything" and I think I have started doing that with studies too.

If my WHY is clear, I genuinely feel like I could sit down and finish the entire NCERT + 3 years of PYQs for basically every chap of every sub. I have never actually tested this properly though, so maybe I am completely overestimating myself 😂

Just a thought. hehe

I was js exploring Marcus Aurelus and came across a 2 hr video by a desi philospher I actually understood most of what he was saying, but after watching almost half of it I started feeling that maybe I'm too young for philosophy.

Some of the ideas were beautiful

Live each day as if it could be your last.

Don't judge people only by how they behave today they may have gone through things you know nothing about.

Forgiveness is often a sign of strength not weakness.

The problem isn't that I disagree with these ideas. It's that they make me think about life in a passive nihilism

I'm 14 n rn I think I should focus more on building my life than trying to understand life I don't want to become overly detached or accidentally develop a passive nihilistic mindset by misinterpreting ideas that I'm probably too inexperienced to fully grasp.

So I'm wondering:

Should I keep exploring philosophy at my age or should I come back to it when I'm older and have more life experience?

After taking abt a week off I meditated tonight
Abt 10 min in i was observing the SOUND OF SILENCE is not constant as always not steady it was fluctuating like in waves
Then I suddenly felt what seemed like finger lightly moving across the back of my neck it felt completly external lasted 2-3 secs and disappered as soon as i opend my eyes and room light
I have never experinced this before or heard anything like that is this normal mdeitation phenomenan or just my brain perception or anyone else experinced smthng similar

I am just exploring things idk why but my insta feed is full of quotes of different philosophies of like Nietzsche, Stoics, Absurdists, Humanists, Diogenes, and Charvaka for weeks and I kinda like the things explored in those reels but honestly, I never ever read a book by any of them or any philoshpy related book but i have been listening to a speaker named acharya prashant for a month can anyone recommend a book to me that might be good

My friend (17F) has suspected for nearly two years that her mother may be hiding a relationship. It started with frequent busy calls, excuses, and later her mother suddenly becoming very active on Snapchat despite never using it before. She says she found a contact with a different name, noticed frequent Snapchat calls, and at one point read conversations after gaining access to the account, which made her believe the relationship was real. She's now convinced her mother has been lying about where she's goes when her father isn't home.

This has completely shattered her mental health. She says she's constantly anxious, overthinking, crying, and can barely focus on anything else. She's currently preparing for NEET-UG, one of India's most competitive medical entrance exams, but this situation has destroyed her concentration and motivation to study. She feels trapped, doesn't know if she should confront her mother, tell her father, or stay out of it. What would you do in her situation?

Meri class ka ek ladka 5 yrs se class top kr rha tha. Aaj maths wale sir ne 2nd lec mai kuch que diye, usse vo nhi hue, na NCERT ki ex ke start ke koi. Itni si baat pe vo poora concerned ho gaya. Poori class kr rhi thi, vo nhi kr rha tha. Uski aankhe lal ho gyi. Vo 2nd bench se sidha last pe jaake head down krke baith gaya kyunki uska ek dostt wahin tha. Vo kuch nhi bola, bas head down kr liya. Aaadhe ghante tak head down krke vo apne dost ko poora case batane lag rha ki ky ky pressure hai, ghar wale 95+ expect kr rhe, maine abhi tak kuch nhi padha, 6 mahine barbaad ho gaye, aisa unhone 20–25 min tak baat kri. Luckily mai bhi tab uske aage wali bench pe baith ke sab sunn rha tha. Uske words sunke lag rha tha jaise vo suicidal feel kr rha ho ya khud ko hurt krna chahta hai. Tabhi usne mere se pani manga, maine usse diya. Mujhe laga mai isse sahi se console kr skta hu. Maine pani diya, 5 min baad piche gaya aur usse pucha kya hua, kya pressure hai. Usne thoda bataya. Maine fir usse karib 1–2 lec tak samjhaya ki ye % kisi kaam ki nhi, abhi tu jis cheez ko lekr itna concern hai, tension le rha hai, 4–5 mahine baad hasega ispe ki kitni chhoti baat thi ye. Abhi bahut kuch dekhna baki hai, ye toh bas 10th class hai. Usne kaha mera kuch kaam nhi ho rha, padhai nhi ho rhi. Maine pucha kyu nhi ho rha? Usne kaha kuch bhi. Maine kaha pehle apni problem ko ek jagah likh, likhne se aadhi problem wahin solve ho jati hai. Aur padhai related kuch tips di ki jaldi syllabus kaise khatam hoga. Usne thank you bola aur vo pehle se kaafi acha bhi lag rha tha. Fir lunch ho gaya. Mai jyadatar unke group ke sath lunch share nhi krta, par maine aaj kra aur unhone bhi ache se baat kri aur liya. Peace out.

Hey everyone,

I'm 14 from India.

A few months ago I earned my first $30 online. Instead of buying something, I used it to purchase a $5k prop challenge.

I passed Phase 1.

Then I failed Phase 2.

At first I was frustrated, but looking back, it was probably the cheapest lesson I could've bought.

Since then I've completely changed how I approach trading.

Current rules:

• Trade only XAUUSD.
• Maximum 2 setup a day.
• Every trade is journaled.
• Every loss is classified as:
  • Execution mistake
  • Analysis mistake
  • Psychology mistake
• Backtesting before scaling.
• Focusing on expectancy instead of win rate.
• Learning prop firm rules (consistency, drawdown, etc.) before buying another challenge.

I'm not profitable yet, and I'm not here to pretend I am.

I'm trying to build a repeatable process before risking serious money.

For experienced traders:

1. What's the biggest weakness in my current approach?
2. What mistakes do young traders usually not realize they're making?
3. If you were 14 again, what would you focus on first?

Be as brutally honest as you want. I'd rather hear uncomfortable truths than comforting lies.

Hey everyone,

I'm a 15-year-old trader from India. I’ve spent the last few months backtesting and front-testing a strategy that I’m finally confident in. I’m ready to take the next step and buy my first funded account.

My Situation:

• Budget: ₹3,000 INR (approx. $30 USD).
• Experience: No live funded experience, but I have a disciplined plan for risk management.
• Goal: To find a reliable prop firm that offers a starter account within this budget.

Questions:

1. Which prop firms are currently the most "beginner-friendly" for someone with a very small starting capital? (Looking for accounts in the $2k - $5k range).
2. Are there specific firms that handle payouts to India smoothly for minors (or should I use a guardian's details)?
3. For those who started young, what is one "rule" or "hidden cost" you wish you knew before buying your first challenge?

I’m not looking for a "get rich quick" scheme; I just want to start professionalizing my trading journey. Thanks for the help!
