AIO for being so upset at the bullies at my highschool?

I am a senior in high school and have had issues with a friend group of four girls. I have nicknamed their group the "Sour Patch Kids" because no matter what I do, they're sour about it.

This all started about two months into Junior year when they had sat in the booth I usually sat in during lunch. I was a little uncomfortable, but I sat somewhere else for a couple of days. They didn't know it had been taken, and I thought they would eventually move. After three or so days, I went up to them and politely said that I had been sitting there and was wondering if they could sit somewhere else the next day. Their responses were along the lines of a snarky "we don't have assigned seats at lunch", with a side of eye rolls and scoffs. Since then, I have tried to get to lunch first to get that table back. I was never mean, not ever talking to them after that interaction; I just wanted my table back. To them, however, I became their next victim. Over the year, they tried to do things to upset me: like taking crap about me conveniently loud enough for me to hear, and taking my seat in every class every second they could. I didn't react, just ignored it. I think that made them more mad.

By the end of the year, they were so desperate that they made rumors about me hacking one of their school computers and sending emails from it...? I didn't get the full story,ry but the principal had called me to her office. They were trying to get me expelled. She searched my computer and obviously found nothing; mind you, I barely knew the Sour Patch Kids' first names, let alone last names and passwords. I have no idea why they thought it would work.

Senior year just started back up, and everything was fine until today. I think they got bored of not bullying anyone,e so they took my lunch seat (the same one from last year), and I was told by a friend that they were looking at me a lot during lunch.

I'm trying not to give them reactions from me, knowing it'll annoy them if I'm nice to them, but it's getting harder. These four girls are trying to be nurses. I don't want to hurt them, but I want to show everyone how awful they are. I'm terrified for everyone they'll take care of as a nurse because I know they'll be bullies there too.

What can I do? I just want people to be careful around. (They bully many others, not just me. Teachers think they're so sweet and don't believe anyone about being bullied by them).

Now, people have me wondering if I'm overreacting.

Edit: I posted this on the main AITA sub but it was deleted, if you commented and would like to paste the same comment here, I would love to reply.

I eat in my "sleep"

For the past year or so, I would wake up in the middle of the night/early morning and eat whatever was within reach, then fall right back asleep. Obviously, I started making sure there was no food near me, but it accidentally happened again last night. It's never a lot of food, maybe crackers or snacks that happen to be there, but it's still concerning.
Reasons I worry:

  1. I am conscious but can't seem to stop.
  2. I fall asleep right after, like it's nothing.
  3. I never feel hungry when it happens.
    I have a history of an eating disorder and many sleep disorders; is this another? Can someone help?

I "sleep" eat an I'm afraid it's a problem.

For the past year or so, I have noticed that sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night or early morning, eat, then go back to sleep. If there is food within my reach, I will eat it. Obviously, I avoid​ putting food close, but it accidentally happened last night. Now, I'm fully conscious when it happens (​which is why I put sleep in quotations), but I'm​ never actually craving food. I have a history of an eating disorder and many sleep disorders; is this another? Does anyone have any advice?

How am I supposed to know if I'm being flirted with?

As someone with AuDHD, I've always said that no one has flirted with me. Because to me, no one has. No guy has ever kissed me or even asked me on a date. I thought I was just undatable, but Now I'm wondering if I've just missed the signs.

(If I really haven't been flirted with before, then this is extremely embarrassing and I would like directions to the nearest dark hole ​please.)

Does anyone else crave to have children?

I have a deep feeling that I was meant to be a mother. I cry every time I hold a baby because I wish I had one. I have their names picked out. I have a sketch of my dream future house, including their rooms. I have lists of parenting tips for myself that I have observed over the years. And it hurts every time I think about not having a child. It crushed my heart. I don't know why I'm like this, whether it's my AuDHD or because I'm an empath. Or just because I really feel I was born to be a mother. Does anyone else feel this way? Any advice on how to feel less like this?

How likely is it that I'll find love?

All my life, people had told me that I didn't need to worry about love; they told me I was young and I'd find someone soon. I wanted to believe them. Common sense snapped me out of it. Now, I'm wondering if there's even one person, out of the eight billion on Earth, who might love me.

I know a lot of people doubt themselves, but sadly, I am statistically less likely to find love. Considering my autism, ADHD, asexuality, and some other minor quirks, I fear I have a slim to zero chance.

I'm interested to know if anyone can relate and/or has a story to tell. I just really don't want to lose hope yet.

Edit: By the way, I do out myself out there. I'm not hiding in my room and expect a British prince to show up (I wish though). I am very open about myself and never hide any of my "disabilities"​. it's not that I am not trying, it's that people don't seem to like me, in a friend way or a romantic way.

Can my friend sue his parents?

My friend, who lives in Ohio, told me his situation, and since then, I've been collecting evidence in case he decides to sue.
My friend's parents took around $6,000 of his earned wages from a bank account held in his father's name. We can get bank records showing the paper trail of direct deposits and transfers into the account. I want to know whether he can pursue a civil case for conversion or unjust enrichment once he turns 18 in a few days. I am also concerned about the father's liability for giving away the account password. Is pursuing legal action feasible?
