I don't, but I've only been working for a couple of weeks, so I might be a little bit early.
My whole idea is that I don't go to work to make friends. I go there to work. I go there to hand out drinks (i work at starbucks), and leave lmao. I'm open to having relationships, but that's not what I'm here for at my job.
What about you guys?
What I mean by this is, they will actively look for a reason to cancel an influencer, harass them, and force them to apologize, but when they do apologize and hold them accountable, they only say "oh they're apologizing because they got caught" or "they're only apologizing because they received backlash"
Or, and get this! They're apologizing because they recognize what they did was wrong and the holding themselves accountable for it. Not because they were scared of all the backlash that they were getting. man, I would hate to be on the Internet. You made a mistake around eight years ago? Well, people are gonna bring that up and try to hold that against you. Your apologizing for what you did? You're only apologizing because you got backlash!
What do people on the Internet want? God forbid someone who did something everyone perceives as bad actually apologizes instead of doubles down.
What I mean is that you pick up more shifts because it sounds good at the moment, but then afterwards, you're like "why the hell did I pick up those shifts?"
I had scheduled more shifts, simply because it seemed like it was a good thing to do at the moment. But now I'm deeply regretting it; I feel like I don't really have much room for hanging out and just downtime, especially since I took a shift on July 4, and since I'm still in the 90 day probationary period, calling off on a holiday would will get me fired so quick.
Another thing too, and this one kind of trumps the other one; I have two 7 hour shifts that are the exact same as a coworker is the absolute last person I want to see. She didn't do anything horrible, she didn't call me a slur or anything, but she said a couple things to me that made me rubbed me the wrong way, and I decided to not really engage with her. Which, if you didn't know, it was very hard to do when you have two 7 hour shifts with them.
I don't understand why people on these teenagers subs answer DM's from creeps and weirdos and then be like "this 30 year-old weirdo messaged me! I'm 14!! pedo alert!" why did you answer the DM? You know you have an option to just look at the message, block, then report. Stop answering messages from these creeps and weirdos and then be like "ermmm i'm 14." I guess so many DMS from weirdos, but I never respond to any of them.
As a teenage girl who is taller and heavier, I always mistaken as someone who is older. Even when I was 12, I was mistaken for a college student one time. I got a whole bunch of "you're 12???"s from people. A girl at my work literally thought I was 27 (i'm 19)
It shouldn't be predatory to say this, but a lot of teenagers really and truly do not look like teenagers. With clothes, makeup, and demeanor, a 16-year-old can easily look 21. Same way how someone who is 25 can be mistaken for 17 year-old. I went to high school with people in my exact same grade who easily looked like grown men. I also went to high school with people who look like they should still be in middle school.
I mentioning this because if, let's say someone who is 21 hits on someone who is 15, but the 15 year-old in question looks older, are they… necessarily in the wrong if they had no idea that the person was 15? There's a difference between knowing someone is 15 and backing off versus knowing that they are 15 and continuing to try to pursue them. Also, I have a fear of looking at a boy and thinking "oh he's cute!" but then digging a little deeper and finding out that he's like 14. I'm like "great. Now I'm Epstein."
"A 15-year-old looks like a 15-year-old! That's a predatory way of thinking!!!" not every 15-year-old looks the same. Some look 15. Some look 10. Some look 22.
this girl said something to me when I was at my job today that genuinely really truly got me fucked up. like... fucked all the way up. fucked down, sideways, diagonally, all of the above
This girl was already a very bubbly girl when I first met her at our orientation, but when i walked in today she seemed….not so bubbly. I'm assuming the reason why she was in a poor mood was because she couldn't log in to her myTime (target website for employees) to complete some assignments. OK cool, it happens. we were chatting it up and i usually say “mmmm” as affirmation. like “okay” but instead i say “mmm” you know? she said “why do you say ‘mmm’?”… weird thing to comment on but okay. Why the hell do you care?
then I mentioned that since I’m under 21 I can’t scan alcohol at target, but she is 21. I said that she’s in luck, but she was like “why would that be a lucky thing? Why would you want to sell alcohol?” because it’s part of the job you actual freaking moron. People are gonna wanna buy their bourbon and their wine, and I need to find a way to scan it. are you slow?
And then I mentioned that of course someone needs their ID to scan for alcohol, and then she said “no duh.” what the hell are you talking about? Who are you talking to like that? I’ve only known you for three days. This girl doesn't know me from a goddamn can of paint. You can't pull off that snarky mean, passive aggressive humor with everybody, especially not towards someone who you literally just met. I don't know how you talk to your friends, but you can't pull that with me.
idk... I'm just not gonna talk to this girl tomorrow. Like at all. It's actually kind of breaks my heart because I was actually open to getting to know her, but she pretty much just blew it. If she does talk to me, or if she asks why I'm being distant, I'll just tell her how I'm feeling. I don't wanna have a chip on my shoulder because the girl made a snarky comment. I guess from now on, I don't have any interest in having a relationship with her outside of this job.
It's also important to mention that from this girl's mannerisms and how she talks now she says things, she's more than likely on some part of a spectrum. Like autistic spectrum. So maybe her snarky comments was because she doesn't know how to read social cues and doesn't have a filter. I have a nonverbal autistic brother, so I get that. But her inability to read social cues does not grant her the ability to be disrespectful.

Being 19 I now learned how to protect my peace, especially when I was 18 and I saw a lot of fear mongering TikTok posts about "not being a kid anymore." and the idea that the second you turned 18 your life is kaput. guess what! You just got blocked! I don't want that fear-mongering propaganda in my life.
I have like 80 keywords filtered out on TikTok and on this app. You're not about to ruin my day because you hate your own life. The "not interested" button was the best thing that could've ever been created
"me realizing that being 19 means i can't-" not interested "i'm 18. i havent had my first ki-" NOT INTERESTED. "i hate being an adu-" not. fucking. interested. You're not about to fuck up my day simply because you're disgruntled with your own life.
Now that I'm 19, I now learned how to protect my peace, and content that I simply just don't want to engage in or content that brings my mood down, I simply just click "not interested" and I filter out keywords. I have several keywords filtered out on TikTok and on here too. I'm just blocking myself from any negativity or just things I just simply don't want to hear about 😭
How do you guys protect your peace?

They take an average fighter and say that they are the worst fighter in the world just because they lost to someone who really should be in MMA
like Lex and Tavii. Lex had beat her up for most of the rounds, but you can't just discredit Tavii as a fighter. Lex is one of the heaviest hitters on the cast, and someone losing to her shouldn't undermine their own fighting skills. Plus we've seen Tavii beat up Dolly a couple of times.
Dolly lost to Tesehki. Five seconds in she got dropped. Does that mean she's a bad fighter? No. She was fighting someone who's fighting skills are not much different than Floyd Mayweather's. I'm pretty sure not even Lex or Ivori could win against Tesehki. This "heavy hitter" debate is kind of pointless.
You can't just undermine someone as a fighter and discredit their fighting skills just because they fought someone who really should be in MMA and not in baddies.
It is so easy to look at someone and be like "they suck at fighting. I would do much better" when you're sitting on your couch eating potato chips watching the show. Like Mike Tyson said "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." But let's see how you would react when you get socked in the face by someone twice your size
Listen, I understand that when you're younger, your brain isn't fully developed, especially when it comes to impulse control so you don't think about consequences. And I'm fairly young as well, so that might appear a little shortsighted.
But I don't like people who use their age to justify wrongdoing. Using your age to justify falling for peer pressure? sure. Using your age to justify pulling a silly prank that you didn't think would hurt anybody? Sure. But you can't just say "hey… I was only 15 years old" when trying to justify things like bullying, using racial slurs, and just doing overall heinous things. And people who say "oh they're 15 they're learning" undermine the fact that a 15-year-old does in fact know right and wrong.
I haven't been 15 in four years, so my memory of being 15 is kind of fuzzy. But you wanna know what I didn't do? Heinous things and then try to justify it by saying "hey I was 15."
I feel like using your age to justify wrong doing really should stop once you turn like 12. There was even an 11-year-old girl that I saw on bodycam cop footage who prank called 911 about someone being kidnapped. And even then, I thought "that was very stupid for her, but she was 11, she didn't know that that was a bad thing to do"
I am on a looksmaxxing sub (it's basically where you do things and make yourself more better looking) in the amount of 13 to 15-year-olds I see on that sub is astounding.
"am I sub 5 (ugly)?" and OP is a 13-year-old boy who has an obvious 13-year-old face. No OP, you're not ugly, you're a child. The Internet has convinced these 13 to 15-year-olds that they need to look like Bella Hadid or Johnny Depp during the 90s. You literally haven't even finished puberty yet. Go learn how to do algebra goddamnit.
I blame media and movies. Not only are people convincing these kids that they are ugly if they have a certain trait (like a very soft face, but only because they literally haven't even grown into their features yet), we're having these 25 to 30-year-old post-pubescent supermodels with clear skin and rockhard abs playing 13-year-olds. It gives them a very skewed idea of what a 13-year-old actually looks like. And it's propaganda that I definitely fell for when I was 13.
I've never had a piercing before. I've had a fake one (septum) but I was like "let me get a real one"
I have three piercing ideas, ranked from least risky to "maybe don't get that one"; septum, eyebrow, and smiley.
This is something related to the 🧊 raids in Los Angeles, I think these happened around in June 2025. a lot of the posts that I saw weren't pertaining to the 🧊 raids themselves, but rather being upset, influencers for not talking about the raids.
A influencer does not have to talk about anything they don't wanna talk about; it's their channel. You can't force an influence to talk about a topic because then it's disingenuous, it's performative activism, which is probably worse than not talking about the topic.
People have such a black-and-white view about politics "if you don't talk about it then you're complicit, you're defending it" how are you more outraged influencers not talking about the issue rather than the issue itself?
What if they just don't want to talk about it? Things like that are very upsetting things and it's OK if people to not want to think about those. Some influencers also have kid-friendly channels and would rather not bring politics into their content if their content is geared towards 12-year-olds.
I personally never cared if an influencer doesn't talk about a certain political issue, and that shouldn't be an assessment on their character
I 19f don't have a boyfriend, and I also don't masturbate. So when I'm ovulating, I'm like… what the hell do i even do?
Compared to a lot of girls my age, I don't have luxury to just hit up my BF and be like"hey I'm horny let's fuck" 😭 and I also don't masturbate because quite honestly I'm afraid to. I heard orgasms are strong as hell so I don't know how my body is going to react to that.
I'm on the r/teenagers subreddit and a lot of them have gone through some pretty hefty shit. Huge losses, being in mental hospitals, substantial breakups, drinking/substance abuse, mind you all of this would be before they even turned like 16.
Meanwhile, the most substantial thing that happened to me was…my dog died when I was 16. And uhhh... that's pretty much it...? Call me boring but I was able to avoid substantial events like that. Am I in the minority?
I didn't like how all the baddies were tone-policing smiley's reaction to having a miscarriage. "who has a miscarriage and then goes go karting afterward?" or "why is she not more upset about this? A miscarriage is a serious thing."
Newsflash, but we all handle trauma differently. Not everything is an event where we're just gonna cry and sob and be depressed. Smiley just probably had a different way of handling that trauma and that's OK. and the fact that they were accusing her of faking, it really just made me sick and made me realize that these girls have a little to no empathy.
rollie was like "if I had a miscarriage, I would've done XY and Z" like that's YOU. You and Smiley aren't the same. Let's not normalize downplaying trauma. Just because someone is not crying, sobbing, or having a visceral reaction to trauma does not make that trauma any less severe. We're better than this.
I was talking to a plug on telegram and I was just thinking about all the possible ways this could go wrong 😭 I never got anything from a plug before, especially not one from telegram.
If you got your fixes from a plug, how do you go about it?
