Hiii guysss, i need some tips

Whenever i go out with my girlfriend, we often have some romantic moments where we want to start kissing and Make outt

The thing is, we are in public and we cant find spots where we can do it, some spots with more privacy, could you please give me some ideas apart from at home? ^_^

So important context, I am really close friends with Z and she has get a boyfriend, Z is polyamors, pan-gender, and pansexual, I am trans fem and either pansexual or lesbian idk.

So onto the point of the post, Z and her boyfriend are in a rough spot just as I started spending more time with her, she has also made jokes about (warning nsfw but key context)>!us having s*x/ making out !<and because of this and that I have asked her if she meant wha she said and she said yes. I only respond to her joke, I don’t make any of my own because she has a boyfriend

I need advice, they both say that I’m not ruining it but I don’t know if I believe them.

My mum is making a big issue out of possible medical conditions. I don't feel safe talking to her about it. Im 16, she still has control over me and I can't make any important decisions without her having a say in it. Earlier on today I asked for her to make me a doctor's appointment since she won't let me do it myself. For the past 6 years, whenever I stand from sitting/lying down my vision goes and I nearly pass out. It happens I'd say about 75 to 85% of the time. No I'm not here for a diagnosis. I do believe that I have some form of condition like orthostatic hypotension from my own research. I was telling my mum what to write on it (all of my symptoms/what's been happening) and she complained the entire time because "if it's that serious you wouldn't have been going out with friends and a teacher would have said something". It's called I've learnt to adjust. You learn to live with things like that, like how she's learnt to live with her arthritis. So now I'm banned from going anywhere or leaving the house without her because "if it's that serious then you need to stay in bed". I just cant see and get dizzy and my heart rate goes up for like 30 secs when I stand? She was also complaining that I've never mentioned it. She's seen me almost collapse 2 times and pass out once because of it. I've had numerous blood tests since, I've only had one deficiency (folic acid) which fixed itself fast and I've never had anything since. How do I talk to her to convince her to at least let me go to the shops at the top of my street or to my friends that lives only about 15 minutes away. (and I know of something happens to me at her house I'd be in safe hands as she has numerous medical conditions and her mum would know what to do and her mum would always be in the house with us, excluding running to the shop for like 5 or 10 mins). I can understand being worried but I know she isn't. She's only doing it to punish me for speaking up, I remember when I had councilling because I used to see things she used to complain and scream at me on the way home because I was embarrassing her and because I didn't need it. (i was seeing and hearing things... I still do...). She has always dismissed any medical things I've said about myself and has rarely wanted to help. I'll hopefully have a doctor's appointment soon and will hear back tomorrow evening, wish me luck.

This is a big issue of mine and I have no idea how to fix it!! I sweat a lot, especially when at school. Now that summer break's almost over, it's gonna be a lot more of an issue. The only reason I was able to get away with it was because I wore hoodies 24/7 last year. I'm not doing that again if I can avoid it🙏 I don't want to get picked on for this, so is there anyway I can stop sweating through my clothes?

I am a 17F starting my second year of "bachillerato" (In our system, high school splits at age 16. Bachillerato refers to the final two, non-mandatory years of high school for students who plan to go to college. It is roughly equivalent to Junior and Senior years of American High School, but with a heavy academic focus like AP (Advanced Placement) classes or the International Baccalaureate (IB) program.) in this case, mine is focused on arts.

Main thing is, I really want to do some clown makeups to go eith my outfits since I like to dress very maximalistic with lost of colours and kinda silly sometimes, but idk if it's *too* weird, yk?

I dont plan on doing a cosplay or nothing, it would be just a makeup look.

(I share school with hs students so they range from 12-16+ and im kind of scared in gonna make fun off too, so I just need other opinions to decide)

I'm going to be 17 in like a week and I feel like I've missed out on so much thanks to depression. Now that I have no mental illness I want to enjoy it lots but don't know how to. Plz help

My parents stopped doing this after I turned around 10-ish. They are supportive and caring and like an average family. They've been less involved in my life ever since I've become a teenager.

I had a normal early childhood but sometimes when my parents wanted to punish me, they would lock me in the backyard/garage and say I have to sleep there until I made up for my actions ---- by making an apology and detailing what I did wrong. I would never be locked up for more than two hours which is good. Usually I would be mad and crying so I would take time to cool down and be stubborn about not apologizing i guess? I would bang on the door and stuff to try and get in but I had to apologize to get out if I did something bad.

My parents aren't abusive but I mentioned this to someone and they had a strong reaction to it? Is this a normal practice? Is this a common thing???

im 16 and my parents dont talk to me really at all, i sit in my room all day everyday. my boyfriend comes over all the time and comes over every weekend and was here like the entire summer. but schools started and im feeling extremely lonely. (im doing online so no social interaction) i dont really have any friends. and i just feel so lonely and sad without my boyfriend. we’ve been together almost a year and friends for longer. before him i was even lonelier, you get the gist of it, also i dont have money to go out and do anything, im broke and my family is poor. ive been in therapy before so. i have hobbies and things but i dont feel like doing them anymore, my boyfriend is unfortunately my only real source of happiness m. i want some advice on how to live without seeing my boyfriend everyday?

I’m in 10th grade and still have no clue what I want to do after high school. Everyone has there ideas or even has plans but I have no clue. I tried to think and do research but I have no clue. I try to keep my grades up because my dad says it will save us money from college but I don’t even know what college I want to go to. I like the idea of the medical field and I like the idea of saving people but I don’t think that’s a good area of work for me. Another one I was thinking of was a pilot but I think I’m thinking too big for a guy like me. I’ve always liked flying but flight school and all that is not cheap at all. What do I do

so i (17f) just started college a week ago, and i have this mutual on ig that just so happens to also go to my college and he’s also 17. we decided to meet up and now we sit and talk in his car every night. i feel like it’s too early to say that i like him but i always look forward to our late night chats and i also find him attractive. i’m just kind of at a loss because my friends ask me if i like him or not and i say no but im not too sure.

Ok, so. I'm talking to this girl, Z, and we've been talking for maybe 2 weeks at this point. It's been a bit dry but in the last 3 days she has really started talking to me a lot more, sending me flirty TikToks and actually messaging me more. Now I'm realising that I'm really not ready for this kind of relationship, I'm not in the headspace at all. I'm not happy enough with myself and my own issues to really fit myself into another person and their life and their problems right now. But now, Z and I have been messaging essentially all day and I don't know how to get out of it without hurting her feelings. Please help!

So it’s a little different than usual here which is why I’m asking this. I’m 17, and male, she’s 16 and female. She just got her drivers license, I don’t have mine yet. I’m a senior, she’s a sophomore. I go to a different school than her, but it’s literally a 5 minute drive from her school. We live in Ohio

I just had my first driving lesson today and even though i could stay on the road, I had trouble with controlling the pedals smoothly and stopping when i should to let others pass

Does it get any easier?? I'm not from the US so I can't just drive in my free time to practice, only when I have a lesson scheduled but getting my license would be pretty useful.

Do you have any advice or stories that could help me?

in my late teens in the uk. i live in a “diverse” area except it’s not really diverse with 2 ethnic groups dominating it. about 50% are white and the other 50% are mainly pakistani. then its minority black and east asian.

i feel like the reason ive always been single is because i’m egyptian so im too niche. i’m too niche for the white guys, too niche for the pakistani ones, and too niche for the black guys. i look too ambiguous, ive been mistaken for every other ethnicity at this point. i have very dark hair, dark eyes and am light skinned so its hard to miss me, i look different to most people.

i dont look like i belong to anyone. all the couples in my very large sixth form are ones where both people are of the same race. my black friends have black boyfriends, my white friends have white boyfriends, my pakistani friends have pakistani bfs and so on. i’m so tired of not feeling desired by anyone. im so tired of feeling too niche. i appreciate my egyptian culture but im also very british. i wish i didn’t feel like an “other”, different, i wish boys saw me and saw a familiar face, not an exotic girl.

i sometimes wish i fit in a box. i wish i knew what race i was. i wish i wasn’t so ethnically ambiguous. i wish that imaginary race was mainstream enough that i could see tiktok’s or reddit posts on “x y z girls” and share our experiences. or how others see us.

its not my fault that guys pick girls who they’re familiar with, who look like them. i wish it wasn’t that way. i don’t mind dating outside my ethnicity. in fact its probably what will happen since im such a minority. but i dont think non egyptian guys subconsciously choose egyptian girls. im trying my best to feel desirable but i cant.

i think im pretty and very few guys have briefly liked me and have been in online talking stages with me. but they never chose me. when they get bored they just go and date a girl that looks like them and shares their culture. i hate it... i wish i looked like i belonged to someone. i hate how the first question im asked by a guy is where im from because i dont fit in the above categories.

back in egypt, it’s so easy for guys to like me. bcs there im the baseline. im the blueprint. i feel so beautiful. i only have to doll myself up a bit and id get lots of attention and very nice treatment.

i’m not looking for attention but in the uk it’s not like that. when i doll myself up, it’s all crickets. im still invisible. guys don’t look in my direction. i wish non egyptians treated me the same. my white girl friends in particular can slap some mascara on and they’d be getting so much attention and a boyfriend just like that. they are probably the exception i can think of, they’re liked by all ethnicities.

idk what to do. im just so sick of feeling too niche to get a boyfriend. i promise im like every other girl. i just feel so horribly different and undesirable.

I'm 17F I'm on the autism spectrum and was diagnosed with autism when I was 2 and a half years old.

I'm a senior in highschool

I have an IEP and my case manager retired and I'm gonna have a new case manager.

And I have had an IEP since Preschool and I have had insecurities about having an IEP since Late elementary school.

And because of different schedules it felt hard to make new friends at school and places.

And in middle school that insecurity for me has gotten worse and worse and In highschool to and it sucks.

When I was in 8th grade I met this guy who I will Call N he has ADHD I thought me and him got along and since I have an IEP and on the autism spectrum and found it hard to make friends.

After me and him stopped being friends in August 2023 I started to develop limerence feelings for him.

What hurt was when he stopped being my friend he called me the r word and called me a idiot and said really hurtful things to me but I still cared.

And on August 12 2026 when I asked if he doesn't want me to contact him ever again he said " I didn't exactly say that " and it's been 2 months and he still haven't unblocked me

So my question is am I having a issue with social cues and what does he probably mean and how do I deal with having to deal with limerence.

I know this is a kind of absurd question but I’m trying to see if there’s any way to convince her otherwise. Currently I’m looking for a CRT (bulky tube TV) to play PS2 games on since ive noticed the colors are great on my other set. I’m only wanting another one since my current CRT is limited by having RF only inputs (very low quality.

The one I’m looking at has an aperture grille and component video in, essentially making it a very high quality model. Over the past month I’ve made space for it by getting rid of a lot of older parts/ewaste I had lying around since my mom said that as along as I make space for it and carry it, I’d be able to get it. However now that I told her it weighs 160lbs she’s strongly against me getting it since “she wouldn’t be able to move it” and that “everything we have in the house has to be moveable”

This is just illogical to me since A: my mom is perfectly capable of moving that much weight as she’s done with furniture before and B: we have plenty of things in our house that are above that weight.

Anyways to summarize I guess she’s forgotten how much CRTs weight and only remembers after I’ve gotten rid of a large amount of my things. Not sure what type of advice I’m looking to hear but anything would help

I (14 M) have been "invested" in motorcycles, specifically dirtbikes for a fairly long time. Sometimes I think about owning one, but whenever I bring up anything about motorcycles, my mom immediately says and possibly thinks it's too dangerous without even thinking about the cost, and I could only own one when I'm 18. I want to tell her that dirtbikes (if ridden with proper gear and.. well, ridden on the perfect bike for your skill level) are fairly safe, but gotta know a way without her immediately putting down the conversation. She was basically always against motorcycles no matter the type. Any tips?

I have problems with my sister and it's honestly not too serious but it takes my peace away so much. I don't really know how to start this. She's like... Sensitive to criticism, gets triggered and pissed upon being corrected or called out, immediately accuses people of being "controlling" when they just teach her or explain her things and how to do things right, and she's uncomfortably similar to our narcissistic and rather abusive (at least in my eyes) mom.

Every time I correct her on something or tell her how to do things better and more properly, she just gets triggered, defensive, and... yeah, as previously said, accuses me of being controlling. Such as her using her hands (that is definitely covered in her saliva considering how it went in her mouth) to touch and prod on our shared food. I told her it's not proper and how she's eating messily, and she immediately got mad, her tone changing into a more defensive, firmer one. She went on about how "is eating with your hands wrong?" which... No, it isn't, but you're using it on shared food. I'm gonna eat it, and I don't want your saliva and dirty hands on it. Then "I didn't even touch your food" yes you did... I do not know why she thinks she didn't.

She always thinks she's right, and no matter how much I try to say no, she isn't, she just gets more and more angry (while denying that she is in fact angry) and eventually cuts me off with every sentence and justification I make and says "that's enough dude I get it I get it omg" like no you do not get or understand anything. She's stubborn as hell and I know for a fact that won't change.

As for the narcissistic mom thing, yeah she's extremely similar to her that it's uncomfortable and extremely weird to me. I can't even tell her or convince her that being narcissistic or similar to our mom is bad because she's proud of it. And yet she says she doesn't want to be the same as her... Contradicting as hell. She doesn't have any empathy, and thinks she's the victim in every situation. There is absolutely no helping her or convincing her. Then she constantly asks for validation from me, saying " right?" In every opinion she makes. If I don't respond she'll repeat it in a louder voice.

Honestly I want to gray rock her or cut her off but I cannot do that due to how old I am. And I can't even ignore her or anything. Otherwise she'd kick me out of "her room" which is our shared room btw. She thinks it's officially hers just because I sleep on the couch from time to time. And she'd say I'm mad if I'm just quiet, trying to get a reaction out of me all the time. Plus she'd be basically gossiping about me to almost everyone we're mutual with. Every time I tell her about my life, gossip. My feelings, gossip. My personal things and things about my body? Gossip. Relationships? Gossip. It's all gossip gossip gossip in her. Everything I tell her will be told to someone else guaranteed.

I do not know what I'm supposed to do and I do not want to just keep masking my frustration with her and playing along with her stupid behavior. Her behavior makes me exhausted and makes me want to harm myself out of anger just so I can feel a sense of peace. Dealing with her along with my mom is hell incarnate to me.

School starts in 10 days and I just started cutting. What am I supposed to do. Help. I’m so stressed out right now.
