Apparently in Europe it is uncommon to see houses with flags. It is also uncommon to see flags in public places. And apprently because we have that, we are bad. I literally see it as the opposite of bad. Its showing pride in your country! Plus i see it as a sign to signify all the people who have died for our country, like when its veterans day and they lower the flag hald way. OK Europeans just say you dont love your country i guess. I dont understand why its a big deal. How is it not a good thing?

Context: I (16f) had a big crush on this guy in my school (18m almost 19). Hes only a grade above me. I had a crush in him since I started high school. Last year around this time I asked if he wanted to hang out some time and he said sure. I was just happy to talk to him even if it wasn't a relationship. We hung out a few times and he seemed to have fun with me. We literally share almost every hobby. We both want to be history majors in college, we both love metal music, we both love cats, etc. He also alot more mature than anyone else I know at our ages. After a few months of talking he ended up ghosting me. I was really sad for a while and blocked him eventually. I think I came off too strong to him since he was my only friend and I didnt want to lose him as a friend. I keep thinking about him and its been almost a year since we talked last. Ive moved schools so I haven't seen him either. I really want to reach out and just be friends. No relationship unless it happens to escalate. I wont be so pushy this time because I realize I probably annoyed him. Should I reach out and start talking again? He was really nice to me and we had alot in common, and I dont have any friends and I just really want to have him as a friend again. The only thing im worried about is I think his friends knew he was talking to me,and I knew one of them doesnt like me so maybe they told him to ghost me, but idk if thats true or not. Is it worth a second shot?

I remember being 3 or 4 yrs old and in daycare and they had a little computer in the room. All I remember from the game is that it had me driving some kid of truck (i think it was a firetruck but im not too sure). Since I was 4, I couldn't really drive it and kept driving into water and couldn't get myself out so I would reset the game and try again and just get stuck again. Im not sure if I actually knew how to reset the game since I was basically a baby and probably wouldn't know how to. It was a 3d game. Sorry its so vague that's all I remember. Does anyone know what this game is? I really hope i didn't dream this game

Context: im 16f and autistic and it is very difficult for me to make and keep friends. I haven't had a true friend in years.

3 days ago I got an envelope in the mail from a college that has an "early college program" for high school seniors to Jumpstart college education. It is for high school seniors who excel academically and are ready to become independent and to start university coursework. And they only send the envelopes to people on the top 10% of their class with an interest in science. It came from a college that I want to go to. Its a STEM college and I am interested alot in the sciences. When I read the booklet I cried of happiness. I could finally be free of being stuck in the same place with the same people everyday. I could meet other people like me, autistic (most people who attend are), science lovers, academically independent, mature. I genuinely dont remember a time I was more excited. My mom talked to my high school and asked them if it was possible. Long story short, its not. I have been crying for the past hour. That was my one chance. I cant live in this tiny town anymore. I need to get out but I can't. I feel hopeless. I cant stay like this for another year. I just need to vent

The past week I've been telling myself to clean my room and reorganize things back onto new shelves. I always tell myself I'll do it when I come home from school but then I get sidetracked on my phone and I never get to it. How do I do this without my phone getting in the way? Ive also been meaning to clean my fish tank and I tell myself to go do it, but then I see a funny video on my phone and I forget all about what I was supposed to be doing. Does anyone have any useful tips?

16f here. Posted here before. I have nobody in my life who loves me and is not obligated to. Its jjst my parents and grandparents only. I haven't had a real friend in years. Believe me I have tried so many times. Everyone leads me on or shows me their true colors. I asked someone out last year. I thought they liked me but they ghosted me. Same story online too. I make friends online and all they want is nudes and they ghost me when I wont give them. I just want somebody to love me. Somebody who will hold me when I am sad and go out of their way to spend time with me. And someone I can be myself with and not have to change like with everyone else. Nobody does that. I want to be in a relationship so bad, but at the same time I dont. I know that doesnt make sense. I still have one more year stuck in my miserable town where I know everyone but nobody knows me. I jjst want to have a boyfriend and be happy like everyone else but I guess I got dealt a bad hand.

I want to major in geology in college next year and want to either become a paleontologist or a mineral excavating tech. There are oppuetnuites for geologists all over the world and I want to know some of the awesome.places other geologists have worked and what tou did there3 so I can get an idea of what I may be doing in the future. Thanks!

Im 16f and currently suffering lol. I haven't had a real friend in years. They just lead me on and then ghost me. Same with any possible relationships. Im only a junior in high school right now but I am trying to graduate early. I havent been to a single school event since i never have anyone who will go with me. I have tried so hard to make friends, im just not very likeable I guess. I cant be in high school anymore. Im severely depressed and just want out. I know people say it gets better in college, but I need real reassurance that it actually gets better. I wanna be happy again

Finally my first big win in a while. I got home from school today and instead of eating everything in sight, I only had one bowl of cereal. And instead of gping on my phone, and went outside to read my book. One small step means more than you think. Im so proud of myself today!
