My school held one dish party. I wanted to go shopping for Eid but I also bought one dress for the party. I was so happy with that dress. I wore them and went to school and when I was about to leave the school like I was about to go home, I fell on the ground so bad and my dress got torn up and my elbows and knees were hurt.

I was so embarrassed and sad simultaneously. And then I went outside of the school and waited for my driver to come pick me up but there was an uncle with his child on the motorbike and I was standing at the corner of the street. He fell towards me like his bike fell but he balanced himself and I was also about to fall but I instantly backed up and saved myself. But I've been coughing so much since I came back and I'm feeling terrible and hurt.

I'm also worried about the dress because it was expensive and I really liked it. And the title I used is just my instincts and I believe there is no such thing as an evil eye but my instinct gets there and most importantly my mother told me she was having off feelings about me.

My whole day was bad and till now I'm thinking about how I fell down? What was the reason? And I don't know anything.

Hi/AOA! I need advice about something that happened with my friend.

So, my neighbor’s daughter, who is also my friend, came to my house and said, “I want to sell your bracelets.”

For context, I make handmade jewelry, and each piece takes me around an hour to complete, so I put a lot of effort into my work.

She told me her school was having a ceremony where students could sell things at stalls. I asked her how it would work, and she said the school would provide the stall for free. Then I asked how much she would pay me per bracelet because I assumed she would buy them first and then sell them.

But she said, “No, I’ll just sell them and give you the money later.”

I was uncomfortable with that idea because if the jewelry didn’t sell, all my hard work would go to waste. Still, she kept insisting. She also gave me many custom requests like “make this color,” “that person likes this design,” and more. I spent hours making everything exactly the way she wanted. At that time, she never mentioned commission even once.

Honestly, I was already nervous about trusting her, but I still gave her the jewelry.

Later, after school, I called her to ask about the sales, but she didn’t answer. After several calls, she first said she would come to my house, then suddenly asked me to come to hers instead. I agreed because I was anxious.

When I got there, she and her siblings were calculating every single bracelet one by one. It made me even more nervous. They kept asking me the prices, my investment costs, and every little detail as if I had done something wrong.

In the end, the money they gave me was exactly equal to the original prices of my bracelets — nothing extra.

I came home thinking everything was done, but then she and her sister suddenly showed up at my house. Her sister said, “Tell her about the commission you both decided on.”

I was completely shocked.

They claimed that I had agreed to give her 40% commission because she sold my bracelets. But that conversation never happened. She had never invested any money, never helped make the jewelry, and never mentioned commission before the bracelets sold out.

I didn’t want drama or fights, so I calmly said, “I honestly don’t remember agreeing to that.”

Then they started making up details about how I supposedly agreed to 40%.

Finally, I asked, “Okay, what do you want now?”

She said 25%.

I agreed just to avoid conflict. I subtracted my material costs first and started calculating 25% from the profit, but her sister stopped me and said I should calculate it from the total amount instead.

I explained that my investment money couldn’t be included because that was the cost of materials. After a long argument, she finally understood.

I calculated 25% from the profit, but then her sister said, “Make it 30%.”

At that point, I was exhausted and didn’t want more arguments, so I paid 30% of the profit. Even then, they still looked unhappy.

Now here’s another thing.

Before all this happened, I had told my friend that if all the jewelry sold out, I would give her a treat. At that time, there was no discussion about commission at all.

But before leaving, they started asking, “So when are we going for the party?”

Even her sister — who didn’t help at all — said she would come too.

Now I honestly don’t know what to do. I already gave commission that was never discussed beforehand, just to keep peace between us. They only started demanding money after realizing everything sold out.

Meanwhile, I was the one who spent hours working until my head, back, and whole body hurt from exhaustion.

So now I’m confused:

Should I still give them the treat?

Or should I tell them to pay for their own food since I already gave commission that was never agreed on before?

What would you do in my place?

I was completely shocked.

They claimed that I had agreed to give her 40% commission because she sold my bracelets. But that conversation never happened. I agree that she did me a favour by selling my work but she clearly did not want anything at first. She had never invested any money, never helped make the jewelry, and never mentioned commission before the bracelets sold out.

I didn’t want drama or fights, so I calmly said, “I honestly don’t remember agreeing to that.”

Before all this happened, I had told my friend that if all the jewelry sold out, I would give her a treat. At that time, there was no discussion about commission at all and I thought that they were helping me so I should offer them a treat. But they took the commission.

before leaving, they started asking, “So when are we going for the party?”

Even her sister — who didn’t help at all — said she would come too.

Now I honestly don’t know what to do. I already gave commission that was never discussed beforehand, just to keep peace between us. They only started demanding money after realizing everything sold out.

Meanwhile, I was the one who spent hours working until my head, back, and whole body hurt from exhaustion because I did all this in the school days.

So now I’m confused:

Should I still give them the treat?

Or should I tell them to pay for their own food since I already gave commission that was never agreed on before?

What would you do in my place?

I seriously need advice because I’m completely fed up with my school system now.

I’ve been studying in this school for 3 years and at first, I tried to adjust, I stayed till late at night just for good grades or can say that I didn't want to be insulted like some other students. They recently increased school timing till 2:30 PM and still expect us to do a crazy amount of homework and learning.

Our homework is literally copy pasting pages from books onto notebooks/registers. On top of that they give so much learning work in one day that it becomes impossible to properly understand or revise anything.

The problem is not studying. I know 9th board is important and I actually want good marks. But because of this system I feel like I’m not even studying properly anymore. I’m just trying to survive deadlines, homework, tests and pending work every single day.

Teachers also insult students a lot and if we complain about unnecessary homework nobody listens. It’s like they think students are machines. I barely get proper sleep and I honestly feel mentally exhausted all the time.

Now they are asking for registration/admission fees before summer vacations and I’m confused. I want to leave after summer vacations but my parents are not agreeing because this school gives good board results and they think changing schools before 9th is risky.

When I first came to this school, I was so happy and was confident. But now, I'm scared to even ask questions to the teachers because I know they'd just insult back or if they have good mood they might answer. And I can't even tell you the amount of useless homework they give and also the learning task.

At this point I genuinely don’t know what to do. Should I stay of leave but they are asking for registeratiom fees and how to convince my parents? Or can I leave after summer vacations?

I want realistic advice from students who have gone through something similar, not motivation.

Hi everyone! I don't know if this is the right community to post this in, but here's what happened:

I have a cousin, and we get along really well. We also gossip a lot when we meet. Last week, she came to our home. We talked, and she told me some shocking things happening at her school, etc. Then I told her a secret and some other things. She went back normally and was acting fine.

But It was my biggest mistake. I had always trusted her. I didn't know she would do this. She listened to me and then went back to her house. A few days later, her sister came over and told me that her sister (the one I told my secret to) had told everyone my secret. I was shocked for a moment, and then I proceeded to message her. I asked her why she did that.

She said, “Oh no! I didn't tell anyone your secrets. It was my sister who kept talking about it, and I just clarified that it was nothing.” I believed her and asked her to come to my place next week. Now, my other cousin came over, and while we were talking, she told me that my cousin had told everyone this and that... I was shocked because I had believed her words.

Turns out she deliberately told everyone all the things we talked about, and they were so embarrassing. I still can't process that she really betrayed me. I know her secrets too. She told me so many things, but I never told anyone because I never wanted to hurt her. But she did!

Now that I've asked her to come to my place, I want to confront her. I don't know how to catch her red-handed because she's too smart and never slips up.

She probably won't admit that she did it. I want to teach her a lesson. Any shitty advice would be helpful.

Every new friend I make, or every new group I join, I feel so isolated. Everyone just starts to ignore me at one point. I feel really uncomfortable. I feel like it is probably because I'm putting much more effort than the other party.

What do you guys think?

What should I do?
