Recently I went to the skate shop in my rink which has always had a pretty bad reputation with the skaters that consistently skate there. I needed a skate sharpening so I decided to take the risk to get them done there. Now I have half a rocker on each of my blades and I can’t spin properly anymore. Has this happened to anyone else because I don’t know what to do. I’m considering buying new blades off vinted since I don’t have money for brand new ones.

All I’ve done is got tipsy at my mates house (rn) and ice skate (I love it) but I’ve got the same routine everyday until I go on holiday and I will return to it straight after that 🥹✌️

What’s everyone else done tho?

Today is the day the premium holiday ends for us y11s, I will be mourning this experience. I served 5 years in prison and my reward has already come to an end… now I will be yearning for the next one in two years.

I’ve had about a 4 month break due to exams and finally returning to the ice. I’ve lost all my jumps (I was never really a jumper), some of my spins and for some reason my twizzles are even better. I’ve recently got new skates and I’m trying to speed up my progress after a long break.

Sorry if some of this doesn’t make sense I wrote this at 5am and have no clue where to post this 💔

I’m 16, only child in a large family and starting to get over/move on from my depression and social anxiety. In the past year or two I’ve just never been able to get along with my mothers side of the family, it’s as if they treat me like anomaly. Examples of this is things like I can’t speak up for myself or others, don’t eat certain things, don’t like certain things and it goes on. My family have created their own classist system built against mainly me because my part of the family are considered rich to them. So to them in their eyes I can’t complain about anything or have issues between me and my parents. Apparently I just live a perfect life and could never complain about anything. Meanwhile I’ve been bullied majority of my school life, emotionally neglected and abused. My family have then also encouraged my younger cousins bullying me and them creating parasocial relationships with me, one of them is “in love” with me and the other is obsessed with me in extreme ways to the point she is jealous of my relationship with my mother. When I try to speak up about any of my issues with my mothers side of the family everyone resorts to the idea of me not being in touch with religion and that I’ve “lost myself”. I’m forced to believe or stay in a religion that I’m not even comfortable in, infact it’s not even that I just hate my church. I’m just tired of not being able to be myself. When people come to my house they want to take my things although I don’t have much, after I got rid of shoes I don’t wear anymore they keep on asking me about it 4 years later. It’s so obvious I don’t have anything in my room, when i bought my shoes for prom my aunts were already asking if they could have them. I’m sick of it but is it even okay to feel like this. I don’t feel like a family member to any of them. I just feel out of place. Everyone refuses to acknowledge the fact I feel uncomfortable with them and resonate more with my dad’s family just because they live across the globe.

I think this is pretty well known but when you’re doing your GCSEs one part of the English exam is based on a speech that you deliver to a group of people/audience. Please do the best you can to ensure you let whoever is arranging the recording that you have social anxiety (this can also apply for any other circumstance if it fits). When I needed to do mine last year I was in the midst of what I’m calling “moving on” from social anxiety, this part of the english gcse ruined my mental health so bad. I skipped days and weeks off school just to avoid it because my English teacher wasn’t accepting my social anxiety as a valid reason to not do it in front of a class (I told her multiple times and so did my mother ++ a girl in my class was allowed to do it in a private room).I never did the speech, currently regretting it and will not know the effects of it until results day. So if you are dealing with any sort of mental condition which may impact you speak up about it. Although in my case I had nothing put in place to accommodate my social anxiety, I don’t want others to experience the same feeling i did.

Right so I had my prom last night and it was hosted at the most popular venues for prom in my city. I’ve been there many times before prom due to family events so I already knew how the food was at the venue. Last night the food and the portions were hell, I can understand this is an event for 15/16yo, the prom committee chose the food and there are people who have certain dietary needs. Why are the options 1 piece of the tiniest chicken leg (probably pigeon at this rate), 2 tiny vegan nuggets, dirty loaded fries but you’re given 5 fries and I forgot what else was there other than some donuts, cookies and brownies. To say this is an event hosting about 300+ people food was genuinely appalling I can’t speak for everyone but I came on an empty stomach and was expecting to eat something decent. Instead I got a few fries and two nuggets thrown on my plate. For the rest of the night I wasted £10 on getting pints of lemonade and had to order gdk when I got home.

How was the food at everyone’s prom?
