Hey everyone. i know it’s not curling season just yet, but this popped into my head from last year. I am 16F, and will be doing curling for the second year in a row this winter, And i remember everyone else in my classes were able to effortlessly slide down the sheet to the other end, and when i try to walk down the sheet of ice to the other end (without my grip, when i get too confident) it takes me forever, and all the others in my group are able to just slide down i. seconds.
I can slide out pretty far (past the centre line) but only with a crutch, or just a rock, (both hands on the rock), even getting up and walking a few feet out of the hack i sometimes slip and fall.
It’s really embarrassing for me, because i feel like no one else has the problem, and everyone else in my group is learning way faster than me and can use the broom to push out.

Does anyone have any recommendation on a good Asian bakery in halifax? Ever since eating a polo bun/pineapple bun in Toronto from saint Germaine bakery, i am been in love with them and would love to find a place here that does them!

I am 16F, and have hated spots essentially all my life, i LOVE to walk and cycle, and usually like to do 7-10k walks a few times a week through forest trails, (nothing serious) but for whatever reason i just can’t get behind sports, in the winter i do curling lessons, but i am not in a league or a team, but i enjoy it because a lot of it is physics, which i really like. Pretty much everyone in my class plays a major sport, such as soccer or basketball, and i am definitely in the minority.
My dad and stepmom also regularly pressure me to join a sports team, and they make it seem super abnormal that i don’t like sports? They have even said that straight up. so i am a bit confused.

I (17f) was at Kearny lake about a hour ago with my Mother. And it wasn’t EXTREMELY busy, but there were a good number of kids there, and me and her usually swim out pretty deep, but for some reason this younger guy (probably 8 or 9) kept following us. and we politely were trying to distance ourself and ignore it. but then out of complete nowhere he grabbed onto me. out of instinct i pushed back and swam deeper, and then i see who i assume is his mother simply witnessing that play out and do absolutely nothing about it?! He kept following me, and repetitively kept trying to grab onto me and touch me and his mom kept on doing nothing! at one point the lifeguard told him and his mother that they needed to stop, but they didn’t and nothing was done? At another point, MY mom yelled at him that he needed to stop, and he was just laughing. I assume he may have had a learning disability, but i am completely blaming his guardian that was there and doing nothing about it. It wasn’t just me this was happening to, but other people, and HIS mom kept saying “space” to him which i assume means give them SPACE but he did not listen.
It wasn’t extremely serious, and i am obviously not hurt or scarred from this experience, haha, and I was able to just leave the lake. but still, i feel like it is not a great habit to develop.

Hi everyone, not sure how popular it is, but i have come to love this magazine. And have read most issues, i cannot for the life of me find one similar to it. It is the perfect mix of design, architecture, fashion, art, and politics, without overdoing it. the sole criticism i have is it IS a bit pretentious. But still.

I am been very into design, and architectural magazines and would love a community to discuss some with!

Hi everyone! Looking for a recommendation of a cafe that has this! Also preferable not extremely expensive.

What brought you back/made you move back?

I know this is sort of a shitty title/post, but i’m really stuck. I am 15F and have a step mother of one year and truly believe she could not care less about me. Her and my dad moved 2 hours out of my school district, and they make absolutely no effort to ask me about my feelings (that might sound a bit wimpy but whatever). I know it must be difficult for her, moving in with a family with an already 15 year old daughter, and 3 younger boys (although 2 are hers). But i really would like some help seeing this from her perspective, or trying to.

Words cannot describe how much i have come to love this lip liner.
It is honestly just the perfect cool toned pink, as someone who has struggled to find colour that doesn’t pull orange on me (rare beauty I’m looking at you) 🫵.
Besides the colour, the formula is really great as-well and honestly better than my mufe liner.
I 100% recommend this to whoever wants a cool toned lip pencil, and for 12$ it is honestly such a steal.

Celebrities who grew up in small towns, got famous, moved to the city with millions of dollars, personal body guards, a penthouse, and act like they have the same day to day as everyone else who lives their.
Like no, your reality as a “city rat” is PROBABLY not accurate.
This always happens with new york city, which is probably pretty obvious.

Hi everyone. I am 15F, and me, as-well as my 11 year old biological brother currently live in-between my father and mothers house week on week off as they are divorced, and have been for 3 years.
My mom’s house simply consists of her, me, and my biological brother.
My Dads house consists of me, my biological brother, my stepmom, my 4 year old step brother, and my baby half brother. Meaning i am the oldest out of 3 boys.
I hate to say it my life is inherently way more stressful at my dad’s house. They both have extremely demanding jobs meaning i am made to watch the baby, clean up (which i typically don’t mind), and occupy my siblings. I also have to take the public bus for over 2 hours and a half each day (which would be a 15 minute drive via the highway but the transit routes in my city only go around it) as they directly moved far away from my school district due to the desirability of our current neighbourhood (stepmom is a doctor).
The problem is that next year i am staring high-school, as-well as starting the IB program which is essentially an advanced curriculum, something that was recommended by all of my teachers when i placed 2nd out of 80 students on the math exam.
I am not sure I will be able to keep up with my current lifestyle at my dads house and have considered threatening to move to my mothers house all together.
In a way I already know my answer to this post, but have gotten mixed opinions from the family members I have told. I am also not sure how easy this would be as I am almost certain my dad would put up a fight to hand over custody. However, to his disadvantage he talks really horribly about my mother to me and my brother. So I suppose this may help me win. My mom also severely prioritizes my education, as she too hopes i do a lot of university.
