How would your typical day go? I'm scared for grade 12 courses.

Particularly for 4c hair, I heard on TikTok that when 4c hair gets really long, it drops and grows downward in a way (?). Is it true or false?

i'm a brownskin girl with neurtal undertones, what would you recommend in nyx's buttermelt blush line? I'm eyeing "back and butta"

Hello!

I'm a student from Toronto entering my final year of HS, and over the past couple of months, I've gradually developed an interest in Law. This would sound great and all...IF my initial plan wasn't to be a doctor of some sort. During grade 11, I've realized I LIKE science, but it's not an inherent interest of mine. However, where my interest DOES align is more in the English and History departments.

I've always been very outspoken in my views on human rights and advocacy. I would always choose a good debate over balancing chemicals any day! Though my aspiration since I was a kid was to be a doctor, make my mom proud, and eventually build a hospital back home. I do love to help people; I'd love to help others feel better and more comfortable. I do like biology; I find it interesting. But chemistry? My worst enemy!

I don't want to switch routes and eventually wish I hadn't made that turn. Being in med school is 10+ years of my life; if I only LIKE science, I fear it might not be enough to motivate me to be a doctor.

So...?

So...?

I'm in the USA; however, since I've come, I'm only able to receive calls but not make direct calls. My Data roaming is on, and with this issue, I cannot even call Freedom Mobile for tech support. Additionally, I'm already on the plan that allows unlimited calls while I'm in Mexico & the USA. So what could be the general issue?

I have low porosity hair, and it's chronically dry. I heard the LCO method is amazing for my hair, since coming to the states I had to buy new hair products. Do you guys think my product line up is good for length retention?

My older sister (F19) experienced weed-induced psychosis 2 months ago. My mom(F57) and I(F17) were told by the hospital to keep an eye on her and make sure she didn't buy anything that might've contained THC since it could trigger another episode.

So after her 2-3 weeks inpatient, we've tried our best to bring her back up again. However, every moment we turn around and give her money, she runs off to buy weed. She's fully convinced weed hadn't triggered her psychosis at all, and it was just depression. So my mom decided to limit the amount of money she sends her, but my sister remained verbally abusive and harassed my mom until she gave her $20.

Now, she's been off weed for at least 2- 3 days. My mom didn't give her money at all since we're fully aware of where it'll go. Today she's been extremely aggressive and verbally abusive- particularly towards my mom. It got to the point where we had to call people to calm her down over the phone. She was making up stories that my mom was sleeping around and told people on the phone that to damage her reputation or something (I really don't know what her end goal was). By the end, she hit my mom and gave her bruises; she bit her to the point where her inner arm became blue and purple, and gave out multiple death threats towards me and my mom. If I hadn't separated my sister and my mom, I don't know how things would've gone down; my sister can easily overpower my mom and me 1 on 1.

Whenever she was on weed, she became more aggressive. During that period, it was the first time she had physically attacked me; normally it would've just been verbal abuse thrown at me and my mom, but I was shocked it had gotten to that extent.

It's been really draining; we're trying to keep her off weed so she won't get another psychosis episode. It's 3 months' worth of missing school and work to try to help my sister out. But now we're not only worried about her own safety, but our own. Is this just withdrawal symptoms? Will she eventually cool down? Should we take the threats seriously???

I'm 17 as of now, and I've applied to 100+ jobs so far, starting from last summer till now and not one update or callback. I don't understand why I need experience to get into entry-level jobs, when I can't find a job to give me experience in the first place! It's so hard to find a job these days. People are so reluctant to hire high schoolers these days, it's infuriating. I need some good sources to apply to; indeed isn't helping.

My sister is going through psychosis; she was admitted and given medication. However, my mom consistently visited her and made her spit out her medication at every moment since she believed it's only for people with 'mental issues' (Is she not going through a mental challenge????). Additionally, everyone in my family is convincing her not to give the medication at all and to use natural ways to heal her. But my sister told me that from the 2 days the doctors had given her medication under their watch (Cause they noticed from the cameras what my mom was doing), she saw a positive outcome. I told my mom what she said, and she yelled and me stating that I don't love my sister, I hate her, and I'm the reason why she nearly strung herself up in one of her episodes (since 2 days before I told her to give her medication at the time, FYI it was different from the one she is prescribed now). I didn't convince her to take to medication or anything, only repeated what

Did I do something wrong? Is medication not the right way to go? I'm so confused.

On days like these, I wish I was white. In terms of mental health, white parents are so quick to send their kids to therapists or psychiatrists. I'm 17 as of now, and I've been suffering with ADHD for the longest time. I thought I could go without medication, or find ways to self medicate, but it's been impacting my academics. Its especially a problem since my mom excepts me to get accepted into one of the top universities in my country ANDD become a doctor. She refused countless of times that I have ADHD (I have inattentive adhd so its easier to dismiss) and claims that it's just my phone or I just need to concentrate. SHE STATED CLAIMED that multiple of my cousins had been diagnosed by their doctors but it was 'all fake'. So now imagine this...

I had to basically trick her into letting me to go to my family doctor, manage to finesse my way into getting medication. That month I was medicated really opened my eyes and made me realize that I DID have a problem, I went from 82 in Biology and shot all the way to a 94.

Now, my medication is finished and she's refusing to take me back to the doctor. She said that all I need is melatonin and to sleep, stay off my phone?? She blatantly admitted that I have issues regarding concentration too I just need to focus (I WONDER WHY!!!). Now I've realized ADHD RUNSS in my family based on what she's been telling me about my cousins, aunties, and uncles, and half of them are suffering as much as I am but are refusing to get help???? I really hate it here.

Sort of a rant...

So last month I was finally medicated and was able to function properly for the first time, but my mom believes in natural remedies and doing everything the natural way. SO basically, she told me that my doctor said no to refills and is refusing to take me to consult my doctor on why she ALLEGEDLY said I didn't have adhd nor need to be medicated??? So, are there any alternatives until I get my shit together?

FYI

My mom was trying to convince me I didn't have ADHD and didn't want to get assessed until I forced her to. Turns out, I was in fact on the spectrum I'm just on the inattentive side of things. She didn't want me to take medication either, so thats that.
