Hi! I took the ACT in July and had signed up on a whim because I had moved down 20 points on the SAT. Somehow I got a 31(34 English 32 reading 26 math 20 science(💀)) but I would really love a 34! I’m planning on studying for the September ACT starting Saturday or maybe tomorrow idk but I’ve never taken past algebra 2 and tbh my English and reading scores are solely dependent on how good I’m feeling or how easy the passages are. Math and science are obviously my top priorities though and I have no idea how to raise my math by 6 points minimum and science by 12 points minimum. As of now I’ve tried college panda( too hard), the 500 ACT math questions to know to date and just random math sections from practice tests. Any help to get there would be greatly appreciated :)!!

Hello! I am going into my senior year of high school and have plans on hopefully becoming a doctor in the future. Just yesterday my dad sat me down and told me that he wasn’t going to force me to do science or math when my test scores reflect my strengths in other aspects. I’m really excited because I love English class, writing and ESPECIALLY reading. The only issue is I don’t know if it’s 100% a good idea to apply to colleges as an English major. Both my parents have biochemistry degrees, my brother is at case western for stats and everyone in my immediate circle( both family and friends) are pursuing stem degrees. I’m scared they’ll make fun of me and I don’t know if I’m 100% ready to take on their comments even though I love English so much and no matter what I’ll be doing a pre med track. If any of you guys have any advice on what I should do or what you did in this situation I would greatly appreciate it :)!!

Hi! I’m a 17 year old mom to a 14month old daughter and she has some weird habits that I can’t get her to stop. If I feed her she just bites me as hard as possible but refuses formula and even throws a fit if her dad (who she loves more than me) tries to feed her my reheated milk. I’ve tried displaying to her that she can’t bite me or I’ll be sad but she just ignores me and it makes me incredibly upset. In addition she does this weird thing where she slams her hard ass head against my nose specifically if I lift her up. Just earlier today when I tried bathing her she rammed her head into my face and it hurt so much but my boyfriend just laughed which I believe is indirectly causing her to believe it’s okay. I’m not sure what to do anymore because school starts in less than a week and I have college applications, my part time job and now a baby to worry about. Any help is appreciated!

Hello! I’m a rising senior from Quincy and I was wondering if you guys as students believe Colorado School Of Mines to be worth moving across the country for :)? To be honest I’ve never been anywhere near that side of the United States but I’ve been to other countries that had mountains so there may just be some similarities! I’m hoping to pursue Chemistry on a pre med track and would really like a stem focused school that’ll help me get there.
Any thoughts or opinions would be great!!
(Sorry if this is the wrong tag too 😓)

Hello! I’m a rising senior from Boston and I recently discovered Grinnell College and I’m really into it right now. The only issue is that I know little to nothing about Iowa. Is Iowa a cool place to live? Are there malls and like things to do? Any responses are appreciated thanks!

Hello! As the title says I’m looking for any perfumes that are very strong nutmeg Christmas-y scented. Unfortunately I can’t stand any hot chocolate notes so none of that please. I’m looking to get an 100ml bottle for maybe $170 or less? I really enjoy winter of ‘99 by Kerosene but it smells like nothing to me after 10 minutes.

Hey! I’m a rising high school senior from Boston and I’m wondering if the South Dakota School Of Mines is a good school? To be honest I don’t know much about South Dakota or the area it’s in but I heard the school was a pretty good safety and that they give out good merit aid. I’m debating if it’s worth crossing state lines for since I’m kind of over Boston lol. If you guys know anything about this school that would be fab!

Hello! recently I(16F) been talking to a guy(18M)and we decided to go to homecoming together. He is a really great guy! super hot, intelligent, funny, and just a total catch. The only thing I’m struggling with is the fact that he seems to have a lot of anxiety about being shorter than me. I’m 5’8–5’9 and he’s 5’4. I personally don’t care about the height difference but he sometimes talks down about himself because of it. It makes me sad because he's amazing. I’ve subtly brought up wearing 4.5-inch heels to homecoming but he avoids the conversation every time. Will the heel situation make his anxiety worse? And what are other great things I can do to make him less anxious about our height difference? Thank you for any responses!

Hi! I(16F)kind of have a tmi question; is it really true you can get an infection just from not shaving?? I was at the beach today and my mom got all pissy about my legs being really hairy and me being in a competition with my friend for whoever can grow the longest leg hair. I don’t really get the issue since it’s just leg hair but she got EXTREMELY mad when she saw I didn’t shave my pubic area and went off on this rant about getting UTIs and Herpes and all this random stuff. Is that actually possible? I don’t really shave anything since I kind of dig the look but both my mom and dad are always on my case about it looking “unhygienic” and “manly.”

Hello! I’m(16F) writing here because I’ve recently realized that I don’t really consider myself Christian anymore and it’s 60% due to it feeling like a humiliation ritual. It’s like everywhere I look it’s always some so called Christian ruining someone’s life or being racist and it’s super embarrassing because none of my friends are really religious. My family is pretty Christian but like woke-Christian but I personally don’t consider myself a ride or die Christian but sometimes I kind of feel bad that my family is so dedicated and I’m not. Another big issue is that I realized I haven’t ever really gotten any “signs”and I don’t think I ever truly cared about the whole Christian thing but something in me tells me I do want to care. Can I fix this? I’m thinking about just being atheist since I’ll be off to college soon and it won’t matter but I feel like I’m disregarding my parents.

Hello! I recently bought a bra off of eBay that was a new size and totally new design then what I’ve tried. It’s a 30E Freya unlined bra with side seams and the band fits really really well and the straps are fire too but there’s a little big of gaping at the top and the part that goes against my chest feels vaguely uncomfortable when I think about it. I don’t know if this normal since I’ve been wearing t-shirt bras for forever (even though they never fit my shape lol) and this never happened. Should I buy a new bra with a smaller cup?

Hi! I made a post yesterday about my really mean ex-boyfriend and how he made fun of my body and didn’t apologize. I was really really scared to break up with him because I was scared to be lonely but after breaking up with him an hour ago I feel slightly better lol. He wasn’t very nice about it unfortunately and called me chopped and made fun of my chest again but at least he hasn’t told anybody yet. Not sure where to go from this but I don’t think I’ll date anyone till I’m like 20. I really appreciate everyone’s kind words though and I probably wouldn’t have been so quick to break up with him otherwise 🥹.

Hi! I’m 16F and I started dating this guy 4 months ago. He’s really funny and attractive and is also 16 which is great! Unfortunately when he was over at my house and we were lying in bed we kind of wanted to try something and so we like did but when he removed my bra he straight up told me I had “ really saggy boobs.” I was really hurt because I’m already deeply insecure and also that’s not what anyone wants to hear from their first boyfriend. When I told him I thought it was mean he told me it was objectively true. I told him I wasn’t really up for anything after and he just kind of shrugged and said that I killed the mood for him too and that I should’ve kept my bra on since I knew I already knew they were saggy . I ignored him for a few days and yesterday I told him that I didn’t want to see him until he apologized but he’s refusing to apologize and he keeps saying that he’s telling his truth which is making me upset. I can’t even tell my friends because they’ll know I have saggy boobs and I can’t tell my family either since they’ll know I have saggy boobs. I’m also really worried he’ll break up with me and tell other people about my boobs and I’ll also be lonely.

Hello! I am 16 years old and from the USA! For my 17th birthday I am currently deciding between traveling to Czechia or Estonia. I can’t speak any other language but English but I think Czechia looks beautiful in photos and the people seem nice! I do happen to be Black which I’m not sure will create problems or not but if it would a heads up would be nice lol. Would you guys recommend traveling here alone? Thank you for any responses :)!!

Hi I am 16F and have been trying to grow my calfs for some time now. I have been doing 10 minutes of jump rope daily and 150 calf raises every 3 days and 35 leg presses and donkey calf raises. I’m not sure what I’m still doing wrong! Maybe as I get older something will happen? If you guys have any tips on how to see change I’d love to hear!

Hello! I am a rising senior from the midwest and have plans on attending New Mexico tech. I have never been to anywhere west or south aside from like Georgia and Florida and I’m very interested in how New Mexico as a state differs from the Midwest.

Hi! So yesterday I posted about needing help finding the perfect bra size for my saggy boobs which thankfully I fixed. I’m about a 30DDD/E but I can’t find any bras that actually look good on me and fit considering I’m still growing. I’ve tried Savage x Fenty balconette and my boobs were basically popping out of the top and it felt really weird when it rubbed against my clothes and it was really really tight and itchy. I also tried the Victoria secret T-shirt bras but my boobs kind of fell into the cup after minutes. I have boobs that start fairly low and are wide set and sag a lot. I’d really appreciate any suggestions that can help me get a good circular lift without it looking extremely artificial.

If needed my measurements are:5’8, 145 pounds, 28 inch waist, 40 inch hips, 18 inch shoulders and 20 inch torso.
Loose underbust:31.5
Snug under bust:29.5
Tight underbust:29.3
Standing bust:33
Leaning bust:37
Lying bust:34

So basically I’ve had saggy boobs since I started puberty. I’m only 16 and I’m 5’8 142 and have never lost more than 3 pounds but my boobs are really down and spaced apart and my areolas are massive. I feel bad looking at girls my age who can wear cute triangle bikinis or halter tops freely. My sister who has perfect boobs made fun of me at 12/13 and I guess it’s really stuck with me. I’m planning on going to Mexico at 18 for a lift but I still need to get the money. I don’t get why this happened at all either? I’ve tried to rationalize it to myself by telling myself it’s because im taller than average so maybe gravity did something? but it doesn’t help. I’m only a 32DD but they’re really saggy and I feel like crying when I see myself in the mirror without a bra.

Hello everyone!
recently I’ve been going down a really massive self hating rabbit hole which sucks but I can’t wrap my mind around why my boobs look so weird. I’m 5’8 145 32DD and my boobs start from so far away from my collarbones, literally LAY on my chest, sit below that crease, have massive Areolas and just generally cause a lot of distress for me. I’ve tried Savage x Fenty balconette bras but my boobs kept popping out of the top and it was really itchy and I’ve also tried Victoria secret t-shirt bras but my boobs legit fold over themselves after 2 minutes and there’s so much space at the top. My nipples are also so far down but still vaguely face forward by some twisted fate. I’ve also never lost weight so I’m confused. My sister has perky boobs and I don’t know what happened with me but it’s embarrassing and I hate it and I need a bra that can hold me over until I can get surgery at 18.
As of now, my ultimate goal is to emulate the kind of boobs people my age typically have so if you guys have any bra suggestions that would be fabulous!
