For tmu btw. I don’t know why I didn’t bruh I just kept postponing it till my summer is nearly over.

Growing up, I never knew about qabil and the only thing I knew about my identity is that I was Somali. However, fast forward to today, I now know I’m Barwani. Thing is, on the internet I sometimes see people say that we are not Somali, this was honestly a shock when I started seeing that being said, my whole life I was taught I’m Somali just for people to say I’m not. I mean when it comes to famous Somali-barwani individuals like Muhidin Abubakar(ufc fighter) or Richi (barwani rapper from the uk or America) I don’t see anyone denying that they’re Somali. And across all my barwani cousins (except for one who claims he’s Kenyan) we all say we’re Somali and nothing else. We also say that any barwani who rejects he’s Somali is just embarrassing themselves. In real life I’ve never heard any Somali say I’m not Somali because of my qabil, it just seems to be the chronically online ones. Edit: despite most people who think barwani people as lightskinned only, I have darkskin uncles who are fully barwani and anyone will instantly guess that they’re Somali

I graduated high school 2 years ago, since then, I’ve forgotten nearly everything I know about math. From functions to advanced functions. I also didn’t take calculus and vectors despite it being recommended. Am I going to struggle a lot?

Can a Muslim identify with their mother’s background even if their father is from a different background. I’m from two different countries and whenever I say that I’m from half of my mothers country, there’s alot of people who get mad and say stuff like Islam says you have to go by your fathers lineage and that you are what your father is. I understand that I am also what my father is but I am also what my mother is, speaking scientifically. Can any give me and good arguments and facts that I can claim my mother’s side.

My mother is Somali and my father is from Oman/Tanzania, growing up, I’ve always told people that I was Somali but recently, I came across a video with a Somali lady and her cadan husband. The comments said that the child was not Somali since the father wasn’t. I asked my cousins about it and they said that it was the most stupid thing they’ve heard and to not let ignorant Somalis take away your ethnicity/culture . Despite my Somali friends knowing I’m half Somali they always viewed me as their own and never said or thought elsewise. My mom tells me I’m Somali and to not worry about what others think

I’m traveling to Tanzania soon and one of my friends is already in the country, however, he did forget to take pack along his prescribed medicine and wants me to bring it for him. Question is, since it’s a controlled drug (oxycodone) would I run into any problems? Any advice appreciated!

All my cousins and I are proud to be Somali, but there are some barwani people who claim that they are Kenyan (my brother being one) my mom scolds him for saying that he’s Kenyan and tells him we are Somali. The question is, can I barwani person say that they are Somali? Growing up, when I wasn’t aware about tribes that much, I just knew I was Somali and that was end of discussion, now that I’m getting a bit older it’s confusing with some Somalis being embarrassed to claim Somalia (could be because of negative stereotypes on social media), I’d rather just say I’m Somali as that’s what I’ve been saying my whole life. And no Somali person from any other qabil has told me that I’m not Somali and they all see me as Somali. Edit: I’m a lightskinned somali but my uncles look like what a westerner would imagine a Somali person to look like.

I am in the process of applying for my first adult passport as my child one expired, however I realised I need my birth certificate and I just come to the realisation that it’s ripped. It’s a clean tear and everything is still readable, does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks

I have to travel due to the fact that my grandpa is sick, however I’m not sure if tmu would grant me request. Does anyone have any past experience with this sort of situation? Or is there some other reason they need?

Since it’s summer and almost everyone’s sleep schedule is messed up, I was wondering if sleep timing matters if I’m getting like 10 hours of sleep? Like if I sleep at 4 am and wake up at 2, will that not help me reach my potential or??

I recently asked my gf to be my gf 2 weeks ago, this was when I was 17 and she was “16”, turns out she lied about her age to date me. We were dating since I was 17 and she was 16 but I turned 18 3 weeks ago so I thought we had a 1.3 year age difference. I don’t know what to do, she’s 14 and told me she was 16, I don’t ask girls for their id when they talk to me, I’m feeling so depressed since I loved her but I’m so lost. Like I had no way of knowing she was 14. I pray this never happens to anyone. Girls, don’t lie about your age to ANYONE to get with them… what do I do
Edit:worst thing about this all, we’re having a pregnancy scare, so I’m about to be labeled a p3do for the rest of my life if a baby does actually pop out. Hoping that aint the case

I’m especially sad because after my 18th birthday, I didn’t do it for nearly 2 weeks, and that was such a flex in my head. I was convinced I beat it, however, I’m not sure what happened other than me being an absolute retard. I was so happy to claim that “I’ve never gooned after I was an adult” but hey, I was an absolute idiot. What should I do, I had a breakdown in the bathroom, can someone share some advice with me. I spoke to one of my good friends about it and he gave me advice, but I’m still feeling sad nd all. This was my longest streak ever I’m pretty sure in the past 2 years. I’ve had a few 2 week long streaks but this one was really something. I’m just sad that I have to now restart from 0 edit: after the first week of no doing it, I felt so happy, my brain wasn’t fogged up, I had so much energy and now I just threw that down the drain

I completed a private school course, my guidance counsellor told me that he received my report cards from the private school, however he only submitted one into the system, am i cooked? Can I go early tomorrow and let him know that he only submitted one of them, or is it too late as we got emails that we could no longer submit private school marks after the 22nd, even though it was his fault (I took private school because I had to travel because my grandma was sick) I’ve been emailing but he hasn’t answered, does anyone know if I’m cooked and won’t be able to graduate?

I can’t access my blueprint to see if my private school (yes I know, I had to travel for like a semester) sent my marks. And I can’t even check anything, i didn’t change my password or anything it’s just not working.

So I met this one girl at a swimming program, and I was fully convinced she liked me, some reasons being, she always wanted to partner up with me, drank from the same straw as me, always went out with me during our break to get food, and was really touchy, and some other stuff. However, now that the program ended she hasn’t really texted me, I texted her the first and second day and got responses but she didn’t really try to carry on the conversation. What should I do, I didn’t even really like her until she started showing signs which I think any reasonable person would see as a girl hinting. So now I kinda dug myself in a trap where I fell for a girl because I thought she liked me because of how she was treating me, but now figuring that she may have just been really nice. I’m also thinking if she misheard me cuz I told her a story of how my whole family thought that I had a hickey because of the mark on my neck and I said “my brothers friend” gave it to me as a joke, but I realised she may have not heard me correctly and thought that I was already in a relationship. Should I continue texting her or just leave it and see if she texts me, and if she doesn’t I know the answer i guess. Also sorry if my grammar isn’t the best, im really tired lol. Edit: could’ve been because I was the only boy there that wasn’t really anti social so that’s why she chose to be friends with me, also she joked around about my height (both of us are 5’6) and I also had to ask her for her socials instead of her asking me soooo

Its a stupid Case icel, my bro was goofing around with a BB gun, tried to scare me and my friend by shooting at the floor, accidentally hit the building door and the glass broke, being charged with 3 things. His trials in a year. Any chance his charges are dropped? Some lawyer quoted 3k for this whole case and it seems like a proper price. But if anyone else has better lawyers lmk. Any recommendations appreciated🙏🙏
