Ever since I was young I always used my own method of typing which was through typing with 5 fingers on the left and one finger pressed on the other finger on the right. It seemed right to me, as I was pretty fast and accurate with it, ranging from 90 to 100% accuracy with 115 WPM.

However, when my teacher came to my house to tutor me on some hardware lessons, he noticed my typing and said i needed to look "smart and elegant" when typing. I tried to tell him it was my way, but then he got my parents involved. Now they're forcing me to practice with that. stupid typing technique 2 times a day for 15 minutes. I already gave it a try; it's ridiculous.

Any ideas on how to convince my very "intelligent" teacher and parents?

13M Here, I've recently just been recovering from my health OCD, and all of a sudden the world pulls out some cruise ship virus with a 40-50% mortality rate. I'm afraid I might have it; I don't know. This has been causing me lots of anxiety because even Cancer has a higher survival rate no? I really don't know anymore.

Hi, 13M here. I'd like to seek some help with my OCD. because it's been causing me severe distress these past few days. I'd like to ask how to perform ERP on the situation below because I don't see any compulsions i've been doing. I'm not looking for reassurance; I'm just looking for ways to reduce the sensations and stress i've been having.

Every day, my OCD tricks me into believing i'm already developing a brain tumor; it's just that it's in its early stages and it hasn't shown symptoms yet blah blah blah. Almost every night I'm scared whether I'll get symptoms of it in the next morning, like how google told me, "Symptoms of a brain tumor are frequent severe headaches in the morning." " I spend 1 hour of my sleep just worrying about that. I've already started ignoring the compulsions for small headaches, but I just can't brush off the thought of getting brain tumors or me already having one.

This is also my first Reddit post, so thanks for coming here!
