How do I stop getting hurt while kicking?

No matter whether it’s teeps, middle kicks, low kicks, or high kicks, I keep getting injured. I mean, my shins and feet aren’t made of playdoh but whenever I try to teep I hurt my toes badly. Whenever I try a middle kick, my shin/calf gets crushed between the opponent’s knee and elbow if he’s blocking. Whenever I high kick, I hit my opponent’s elbows and it hurts really badly. And whenever I low kick inside, or the outside of the back leg, if my opponent moves even an inch I mess up and hit with my foot, which hurts really bad. What am I doing wrong? It makes me hesitate to throw what would have probably been a good shot. How can I prevent such injuries from happening?

My third smoker fight

Im the shirtless dude, also the first “knockdown” in the second round wasn’t a knockdown, it was a lowblow. Some parts are low quality since the original video misses some exchanges.

I mean, I was shitting bricks from the moment I stepped foot in the ring, I always feel extreme emotions before my fights and it always influences how I fight. I feel pretty disappointed with my performance because of how much I trained and prepared before.
As soon as the bell rang for the break, I almost wanted to tell my corner to throw in the towel. I was extremely tired despite all the work I had put in, and my opponent didn’t seem to be affected by my knees or punches. However, my corner kept insisting that he was hurt and that I needed to apply more pressure.
That’s what I did, and I managed to get the knockdown. If the second round had been just 10 seconds longer, I feel like I might have been able to get the knockout.
Regardless, I have a lot of respect for my opponent. He fought hard, and so did I, I tried to talk to him after the match but he seemed like he didnt want anything to do with me.

I would appreciate any advice on what I should improve and, more importantly, how exactly I can improve it

Nike Zoom Fly 6 vs Adizero Evo Sl?

I’m thinking of buying new running shoes. From your experience, which one is better, and why? Or if you have an even better alternative for the price I wouldn’t mind hearing it

[PC Browser/Mobile?] [2011-2019] Vague info but maybe someone knows a game like this?

I remember playing this dark, gloomy browser/mobile 2D swarm absorption game, I think. You started off as a small group of cartoony miniature knights fighting other small groups of knights. As soon as you beat them, in the place where they died they respawned as part of your team. Then, as your team got bigger and more powerful, other classes started to appear, like teams with golems, mages, and bigger knights, etc. It wasn’t really a strategy game—more like if a team seemed weaker or smaller than yours, you would just click on it to make your army fight theirs. (I’m also 99% sure it was a single-player game.)

Am I overreacting or are my parents actually messed up in the head?

So, until now I just brushed it off as harsh parenting but I don't know what to do atp. I want to run away, but I don't really have friends that would take me in, and calling child protection services and getting sent to a children's home to be beat on by the older kids wouldn't feel amazing

For the past month I've been really stressed due to an exam I had today. It influences a major part of my life. I'm just happy I got it over with

When I saw my mom outside school she kept repeating the same question, from the point when I got out of the exam to the time I got in the car (the question being who's a random classmate). After answering her twice, the third time I said I already responded to her question, she got frustrated and seemed annoyed but really not that mad

About 1 hour ago, 8 hours after the exam, she called me downstairs where she and my father were talking about me. After half an hour of purely just telling me that I'm quote on quote a "pussy". a "disgrace" she started crying, saying that I do nothing for her, and that I should contribute to the house or "trying to get money in any way possible, drugs, clothes, anything for the family" (maybe she was exaggerating but were not poor, in debt or struggling since both she and my father have jobs, were financially stable and I know this pretty well from their own words to one another). I told her she's overreacting and went over to the kitchen to eat

After 10 mins of eating with the horrid sounds of my mom telling my father that she's unhappy and that when they're old I won't take care of them and that I'll treat them like slaves, she comes in the kitchen screaming that things are going to change around here. She goes on to plainly insulting me from things I've told her in the past, like how I had no friends, struggled to fit in, that a girl blocked me and that I felt lonely. She kept saying I'm a friendless loser and that I am undeserving of her and others' attention and love while she was washing the dishes (when I told her that she doesn't even argue for the sake of teaching me something, she just argues to insult she made a high pitched voice and asked if she insulted me and if i felt sad)

Now to the overreacting part: while she was washing the dishes she came by a knife. Reminder that in my opinion, from her actions from over 16 years since I was born, I consider her emotionally unstable. From her spitting in my and my sister's face just because I tried to stop her from slapping me after I told her to not call my sister a whore, to her saying that I shouldn't have been born and that if she knew I'd end up like this she wouldn't have had me (I have two sisters, one being almost 30 years old and not on great terms with my mom, rarely speaking to her, and when she does they argue, and the other being almost 18 and asskisses my mom so she doesn't have to put up with her, while in every argument she edges mom and and agrees with her in every way). I also can't find refuge in my dad since he also just asskisses mom and agrees to whatever she says so she doesn't come after him next, and can't really do anything if he gets mad and chooses to hit on me since he's over 100 kgs and 185 cm (and also I'm pretty sure if I try anything he'll js call the police or throw me out, taking my phone and laptop like he always does whenever he feels like it, if that happens I'm prolly gonna die on the streets)

I got pretty scared and decided that maybe finishing my mac n cheese and putting it in the sink at that time wouldn't be a great idea. Almost daily after work, when she's mad and happens to wash the dishes, I get nervous knowing she is handling knives after how childish she acts

As a 16 year old, is there anything I can do so I can live without the constant walking on eggshells feeling? I am definitely not the best son. I'm lazy, I don't wash dishes that much unless they're overwhelming the sink from the whole family, I don't study much and I spend a lot of time playing sports and videogames. Also she is in her late 40s, works an 8 hour shift, cleans the dishes and makes us food. This is not the first time she acts like this

With that said, what can I do to get away from this family at 16? I have plenty more stories and things my mom has said and done (at least the things I understood since most arguments end up with her crying and swearing, insulting, spitting and making points I do not understand, only for then to tell me that I'm an asshole for not showing her love "since were a family"), this surely isn't the first nor the last time she will say or do such things, these aren't even the most hypocritic and weird things she said as a mother. Can anyone help me out with what I should do?

Anime with the same art style and similar visual quality as Prison School?

I recently watched the anime called Prison School. I really enjoyed the art style and how the characters were animated/drawn. Are there any anime like it (no matter if they're action, ecchi, romance, or even hentai)

Any anime where the ecchi jokes and teasing actually go somewhere?

I’m lowkey tired of shows making the characters flirt and make sexual jokes for 3 seasons, only to end it with a kiss or something. What are some good romance anime where the characters actually end up smashing?
