If I could go back in time and stop myself from being born, I would do it with no hesitation. This isn't me saying I wanna delete myself or any bs like that. I'm saying that everything about life is fucking bs and a lie and it all starts from the day I was born. I grew up thinking Santa Claus was real turns out no he isn't. I grew up thinking the tooth fairy was real turns out no it was my fucking mom all along. I was born in a household that I never asked to be born in, given a body that I never asked to have, given a brain and a way of thinking and a personality and a name that I never fucking chose.

I never asked to be a person that thinks this way. Like why is my consciousness this way and why has my life aligned to me making this reddit post and thinking this way? And I'm saying this as someone who just turned 18. The longer I live the more I understand how this world is a genuine scam and nothing makes sense. I grew up a shy anxious kid while some people in my class where just magically confident since the day they started elementary school somehow. I was taught to treat people the way I wanna be treated and to be kind to people yet I never actually was treated better than the entitled shitheads that where born with money and born with a certain face. I treated my girlfriend like a genuine princess and I get cheated on and heartbroken yet my friends who treat their girls like piles of trash are in way better relationships and way happier than I am. My friend who scams lonely men by pretending to be a girl Is out here living life and eating steak and lobster yet I'm here eating shit. People are out here working 15 hours a day to barely make ends meet yet Mr 16 yr old Lamine Yamal over here is already a multi millionaire because he's somehow 500x better than people who spent decades of hours and hours of training each day in this sport to perfect their craft and still haven't made it and are now working 9-5s.

It just makes me think why am I not out here scamming and robbing people? Like why am I not out here manipulating people to get what I want? And why is It when I do something that works in my favor but hurts someone else I get a strong feeling of guilt and empathy that I never asked to have that just ruins everything I did and prevents me from doing anything like this going forward?

It genuinely makes me think that everyone already has their life planned out since the day they where born and they will always be a certain kind of person even if they didn't ask to be or think that way. Someone could be magically born with a certain kind of brain structure that makes their personality and thinking a certain way that they live a very happy exciting life, which they never actually chose, while there are people out here born with a certain outlook on the world that they'll forever be a certain kind of person even if they fucking hate themselves.

Life is just straight bs and don't even get me started on religion

This happened yesterday

I, 18m, was walking in downtown brooklyn and was passing by a group of girls and one of them randomly said “hey daddy” and grabbed by crotch. I have never had anything like this happen to me and i don’t know what to do. My friends and everyone who saw this happening where just laughing like it was some sort of fucking joke. Everyone i talked to about this just treated it as something hilarious and told me to get over it or called me gay

I don’t know if i’m overreacting but i am genuinely unable to get what happened out of my head and thinking about it 24/7 and barely got any sleep.

I am expecting comments like “your a grown man get over it” and if your planning on writing this comment then fuck you don’t bother at all

I genuinely feel so violated and i don’t know what to do. I need some actual advice please.

I genuinely can’t stand people who post themselves crying for the whole world to see just to garner sympathy from random people online. It’s so ridiculous to me how a person could be going through a vulnerable time and think “yeah this is a good thing to post online so people could feel bad for me”

Overwhelming cringe

The bad ones hurt your asshole.

They get jalapeno face

Rape can ruin someone’s life. But falsely accusing someone of rape because you hate them, want revenge, or are trying to get money out of the situation can also ruins a person’s life.

Even if the accused person is eventually proven innocent, the damage may already be done. They could lose their job, their reputation, their friends, their family’s trust, and years of their life fighting something they never even did.

I’m not saying victims shouldn’t be believed or supported. They absolutely should. I’m saying that if it is proven someone intentionally lied about rape, that should not be treated like harmless drama or some bullshit. Weaponizing an accusation that serious is evil and should have major consequences.

Apologize and wipe it off

This is coming from a teenager (about to turn 18 very soon), and I find it hilarious the shit my friends do and get away with because people think we don't know what we're doing. Oh trust me, we do.

When I was 15, I genuinely believed people were just stupid. I'd chuck water balloons at random people from the roof of my house and laugh my ass off when they'd knock on my door to complain to my mom. Half the time they'd say something like, "Oh well, he's only 15. He's not thinking more than three feet in front of him."

The funny part is I knew exactly what I was doing. I just also knew everyone would write it off because of my age. I genuinely thought I could do whatever I wanted and just hide behind "I'm 15."

That's why I always laugh when people say, "They're just teenagers, they don't know any better." We absolutely do know better. We just assume there won't be consequences because everyone keeps telling us there won't be.

Sometimes the biggest problem isn't that us teenagers think we're invincible. It's that the adults around us reinforce that belief. "They're just kids and don't know any better" is used to excuse way too much.

Me (18M) and my family are on vacation staying at a hotel. My dad ordered food and told me and my brother (15M) to go pick it up.

We went down together but weren't really talking because there was still tension from an earlier argument. We asked reception if the food had arrived, and they said no. I went outside to see if the delivery driver was there, and at some point I realized my brother wasn't next to me anymore. I didn't think much of it and assumed he was checking somewhere else.

I kept looking around and even asked a group of security guards if they were sure the food hadn't arrived. While I was talking to them, my dad called asking where I was. I told him I couldn't find the food and thought someone had stolen it. He goes, "Your brother already got it and came back upstairs."

I was actually pissed. He found the food, went back upstairs, and just left me wandering around the hotel looking like a complete idiot instead of taking two seconds to call or text me.

I went upstairs and asked him why the hell he didn't tell me. His answer was literally, "You weren't next to me."

At that point I knew if I kept standing there we'd end up screaming at each other, so I went to my parents instead. They said we were both in the wrong because I walked outside without telling him first. I said I only went outside because that's the most obvious place the delivery driver would be, and I assumed that if he found the food he'd have the basic decency to call me instead of just leaving me there searching for no reason.

Now they're acting like me not announcing that I was walking outside somehow makes us equally wrong and that I'm not justified to be upset because I caused the issue, and I genuinely don't get it. Am I missing something here?

AITA?

This situation just happened so forgive me if I found sound a little heated.

AITJ?

TL;DR: We where both looking for our DoorDash, My brother found the food, went upstairs without telling me, and left me searching the hotel. My parents say we're both at fault because I went outside without telling him. AITA?
