Backstory;
Highschool was difficult for me because I moved around so much after my single father's death at 15. I moved into my aunts house and after a year adapted into my friend groups.

Sophomore year a new girl moved into our grade and she was sweet and really pretty. I noticed she didn't talk to a lot of people so I introduced myself to her and my friends. She got along great with us and made friends fast. We started to hang out a lot after school and got really close.

We was best friends for about two years, spending most of every day together and going everywhere. Most people knew you couldn't have one without the other. After awhile our friends started to drift apart but me and her stayed close and even got closer because we were the last two.

One summer we didn't have any friends after shit hit the fan, I dropped out, and we just did things at the house or went swimming at the YMCA. School was starting up and she asked me if I'd go back and re enroll since she didn't have anyone but me. I said yes and went back the next month with her.

I was sick to my stomach because she wasn't picking up her phone and life360 was off. I figured her parents grounded her because they was a little on the strict side, but no. I walked up to her in the hallway and she looked like she'd seen a ghost. She looked right at me and walked away and started talking to girls that specifically didn't like me.

I went to class and tried texting again but no luck. She sat across the hall on another wall with the same girls for lunch and would get up and follow where they went so I couldn't come talk to her. I waited all day to get home and call her to only find out she blocked me. I was hurt and confused and called our mutual friend, unknown, and they told me she started a rumor I was on Me** and that's why i'm so skinny and have so much energy.

She also was telling people I was screwing my uncle, and obviously that's not true either. He graped me and she knew that.

What should I do:
That all said:: I been making amends and I'm trying to cope on if I want to let this eat at me my whole life or just text her and find out why.

does anybody know what's up and why cops and blockers are all throughout Fulton and Franklin Street?

I'm 19, f. I think being a girl is one of the hardest things that you can do. You can't go to a drive-through without getting hit on half the time, or even walk your dog down the street without getting stopped three times. Now, of course this isn't an every day issue but on most days it is. I'm curious to why men think that they can just hit on you whenever.. there is a time and place for everything just not when I'm trying to get my burger from a damn window. Honestly, as a woman, I wonder if men have the same issue. I was in the middle of my lunch, rush and had 30 minutes to get back to my work building, which is across town almost in a completely different city. As soon as I got to the window, this man who looked roughly 10 years older than I did was telling me how I was the most beautiful girl he's ever seen, and if I was single. Now I don't mind people flirting, but really dude? I mean, did he think he was going to get my number?

So this isn't actually my grandma, it's my dad's buddy's wife's , mother. I just lived with their family for a couple months after my dad's passing. So Instead of learning names I just call them what everyone else calls them. I take her out sometimes still even if i'm moved out, she's sweet and doesn't mean any harm.

We were out the other day and saw my mom on the street, who has my number blocked and will walk away if she sees me. Last time I did see her she gave me a black eye. So I don't talk to her only her husband, who's divorcing her. I just have no interest in seeing her after that. I have plenty of woman who will be a great grandma for my future children.

But grandma made me feel terrible about not pulling over and stopping. She said she wasn't right in the head and she doesn't know any better. I should keep reaching out to her and fix her broken soul. I'm taken aback because I was and am 100% on never speaking to her again.

Shes never been in my life, she's cheated on my father with about 3 man I remember, personally. My brother also doesn't have a thing to do with her and he never has. Should I text her maybe and see how she's doing? I ask her people but I never ask her 1on1.

I'm 19, F and my dad passed away when I was 15, and he was my single parent. He raised me on his own along with my little brother who's only two years behind me. I loved my dad and I miss him very much. I don't have a lot of stories to tell without him being apart of it. I do fear I talk about him more than I should. It's been almost 4 years tho and sometimes I find a way to bring him into conversation. Nobody ever talks about my dad or the person he was and I just don't want the memory of him faded. Every so often my brother calls me a pick me for telling a story about the 3 of us and I get embarrassed. I don't mean to do this but it comes out naturally as if he's still around. Should I just give up and stop talking about him? I miss and love him so much and it gets worse as time goes on but I don't want people to feel i'm looking for attention out of the situation.

I'm 19, f, and I don't have a lot of friends. I've gotten a handful from grade school through high school but it's terrible making friends once you graduate. I moved around a lot as a kid because of family emergencies and went to a lot of schools. My parents had the decency of waiting til I was in middle school to move me the first time, and that's the worst time to do anything as a kid. Your body's changing, you feel you look disgusting, you probably smelled a little different because of hormones. So I didn't make a whole lot of friends til I got comfortable and they did with me. I was also bullied my first time and shied away from other kids who weren't in my circle at this time. Then I moved again 8th grade year, that year was after the coronavirus outbreak and we were stuck to the one classroom where teachers rotated to us. I had 3 friends in that class but the rest of the room was chill with each other. Everyone already knew each other so I was always odd one out, but it didn't matter because I moved right after that year. Freshman year of high school and it was big and scary. These were the kids I went to elementary with tho so I had one friend from before but we both changed so much it didn't stick. I continued school for about a year there until I moved again. This time I had plenty of friends and was happy for the big friend groups i've seen on the internet. Those ended pretty quickly with all the drama, but me and one girl continued on for about 3 years in this deep friendship until she ditched me Jr year and started a rumor I was on meth. She took the last of the friends I had left. So i turned to my boyfriend and a couple kids I met at the park. I introduced them and the ditched me when he cheated on me. I moved again after that and didn't make anymore friends after that, I had my cousin and that was chill for me. I moved again back to school the rumors spread and had to go for a couple more months until finally I graduated in my midddle schools hometown. Sadly, most of my friends moved away during that time and gotten into some bad stuff, and the people who stayed was the ones I never got close with because they started off bad behavior. Now, i'm 20 this year and I don't have hardly any friends near me. It gets sad and lonely sitting here, I used to have so many friends but now I just sit at home doomscrolling.

I love my new job. After working at Goodwill for about 3 months, I put in my two weeks and left. I make $3 more on the hour and this job includes feeding me on my lunch, frequent breaks without getting in trouble, bathroom breaks, etc. Oh, and my favorite thing is my coworkers work! This was my biggest issue with Goodwill, its workers just didn't. About 5 out of 8 workers would call out, making it harder for the rest who didn't call in, and the point system was stupid because obviously no manager or Hr cared because nobody was ever fired. I'm 19 f and most the adults half my age would push their jobs into me. So i'd constantly be working 3/shifts in one. I always found myself mad and frustrated otw home. Now I get out at 3pm and have the rest of the day to myself, I get 8 hours a day rather than 5; and people actually work. This just reminded me of on my last day of Goodwill, one of the problems told me, "every job will have someone who won't work" and that's just not true. Everyone here does their parts and are so sweet. Fuck Goodwill

So i've worked at Goodwill for 3 months almost with my cousin and her mom. Her mom quit after one month of us both working there. I hardly had shifts with my aunt and I barely saw her so it wasn't terrible when she put her two weeks notice in. My cousin and I, stayed. We both enjoyed our job and it was a good opportunity, the people were great and it felt like a family when I went to work. I never dreaded my shifts and was happy to pick up for someone else if they needed it. Honestly, it was a perfect job. Until about 3 weeks ago, Ive noticed my coworkers started to slack around me and have me do their jobs on top of my own. I was honestly going to push through work until my cousin told me she was going to quit and find another job. That kind of released me because when we applied together the idea was to live together in an apartment and she'd catch rides with me. Well, we both got our own separate apartments from eachother almost the opposite direction of where I needed to go. So when I heard she was quitting I immediately got a new job with a higher pay and more hours. I went into Goodwill the next day and put in my two weeks. She was head strong on she was going to just quit and get this other job. Well, they never called her back and she didn't get the job. Today, she called me and asked for a ride to work. I was hesitant because for the next couple weeks it's going to be harsh living and I'm already behind on my rent. I gave her the ride tho, because her last paycheck was only $60 because she didn't show up to her shifts. They put us both on register which is normally a good thing because we both work. Today she decided it was a great day not to do jack. When I asked her if she could help because she really hasn't done anything she freaked out on me saying i'm not her boss and I can't tell her what to do. At this point a customer is staring at me because she's just as shocked. I told her I was taking my 15 and went into the office to tell my manager I was leaving because I wouldn't be talked to crazy in front of customers. They called her to the back while I packed my stuff for the day. Supposedly she got mouthy with both my managers saying she was already fired for missing work and not calling in so she just quit and had her mom pick her up. Now she doesn't have a job, is having her boyfriend pay almost 1 band in month while she tries to get another job. I feel bad, I didn't mean for her to quit/get fired but I was genuinely disgusted with how she was talking to me in the front of the store in front of customers, on top of everything I do for her. Am I in the wrong?
