I am worried I might be, I am 18 though so I guess I can't be forced into anything

Like I was looking through my father's notes from his middle school and there was way more knowledge in there instead of the current "2-3 lessons per topic" stuff which is absolutely unnecessary in my opinion and there could be way more knowledge squeezed in, at least for the major subjects being your native language (if it's not English), english and maths

I'm 17 but just graduated today and turn 18 in about a month, would it be bad for me to date someone who is 20? Usually 17 and 20 is bad, but that's because most 17 year olds atm are juniors going into senior year rather than a senior going into college.

im talking to a guy right now and i really think hes the one. however the last relationship ive been in was when i was in grade 7 so like i don’t know how to do things. how long in the relationship did you meet eachothers parents? how about freaky things and when you did them? how long were you guys talking for when you started hanging out alone? i need advice guys

I turn 17 in June mind you 😬😬😬

Edit- Thanks for all the replies for everyone wondering I’m in the U.S, and no I’m not dating a 20 yr old It was just a crush I met him recently and I have no plans to ask him out !!

My parents used a donor to have me I don’t know anyone else that can relate im 17 has anyone else been made this way? I don’t know anything about my biological dad bc he’s a donor obviously

Hey Reddit
I’m making an interactive art project for school. It is basically the earth and people get to write an answer to the prompt
“How do you want to make your mark on the world?”
So feel free to answer the prompt and be a part of my project :)

So this one friend owes me around $20, and I know that’s not a huge amount, but at this point it’s more about what they do. I bought them a drink, and they said they’d pay me later. t’s been almost a month since then. Before that, I bought them snacks, and they had said the same thing. So here’s the thing, they constantly say they’re broke and don’t have money, but then they’ll brag to our friend group about going to MacDonald’s or buying stuff after school when they clearly told me that they DONT have money. And whenever I ask them about the money, they always come up with excuses like “Oh, sorry, I forgot.”, “I’ll do it today after school”, “I don’t have money on my card right now.” LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? I KNOW YOU HAVE MONEYUHH😭 you literally told everyone in our friend group that you recently paid other people back.

What really got me today was that I didn’t have enough money for a drink at lunch, so I asked them if they could buy it for me(mind you, it cost like $1) and I’d pay them back tomorrow. THEY REFUSED AND SAID “Eh. No. I don’t have money right now.” Sure, they don’t have to buy me a drink but you could at least repay me with a drink that COSTS ONLYY A DOLLAR. When we got back to our usual spot, they asked the others if they wanted to go to Macdonald’s or the mall after school like ten minutes later. Didn’t you just tell me that you were broke.
Like genuinely I don’t care about the money you owe me I’m just tired of your fake excuses😭✌️✌️✌️😂✌️✌️✌️💔💔💔💔💔✌️✌️😭😭

Hey, I'm from Russia, but right now I live in Kazakhstan and will hopefully learn in Germany.

I've never ever seen a person using IMessage to, well, message someone. We mostly use Telegram, Whatsapp, VK (Russian specific platform run by government lol) and maybe even Instagram but not imessage.

Even my grandparents know how to use something like Telegram, and imho Telegram is just sooo fucking good. It is the most technical, easy-to-use, functional and beautiful one out there in the wild.

So, which message platform do you use? I'm curious)

I started off at 120lbs like 8 months ago, got to 100 4 months ago, and just now hit 89. I am 5'2 so this puts me at a BMI of 16.6. I know it's not that low, but at this point I'm not even trying to lose more, and I'm scared to go to my general doctor because the last time they saw me they noticed the weight drop and almost sent me to the hospital. Although I'm 18 and can legally decline care, it's just a hassle and embarrassing. Idk what to do because I don't want to gain weight but I don't want to lose more

I am a 18m and my ex is 18 we broke up due to circumstances but I still love him so much. How do I get him back without coming across as pushy. I love him so much but I need him back! Is there anyway I can do this?

Hey everyone. I'm heading to college in the fall. My boyfriend and I are definitely breaking up before we leave, but I'm trying to decide what to do about the summer.

To be completely honest, I don't love him. The relationship is fine, but I know he has much deeper feelings for me than I do for him. The main reason I'm considering staying with him through the summer is honestly just because the sex is good and it's nice to have that.

But since I know he's more emotionally invested, I'm stuck. Is it worth staying together just for the summer sex, or am I just leading him on and making the eventual breakup way worse for him? Should I just rip the band-aid off and end it now?

Has anyone else stayed in a relationship with an "expiration date" just for the physical side of things? How did it turn out?

Don't crucify me, he knows the expiration on our relationship is set, like it's weird to say it like this but we've talked about it.

I'll go first. I'm for SURE gonna hide the fact that I snuck out with my bsf to meet some of her friends (it was one of those cars that doesn't have back doors and is really small) we had to sit on each other's lap while the driver was speeding and probably high.

I also broke into the school computer lab with my friend bc the door was locked even tho we had class in there 😇

If someone is gay or lesbian or non religious or all of them, and they still choose to wait for marriage to have sex.

Then it's a damn shame. Giacomo Casanova was arguably more cool.

Is BMI 16.7 skinny for a girl?

I’ve made out with another guy before but im now talking to a guy i GENUINELY like and i need some good tips. last time we just stood in the same spot the entire time and i hated every second of it. i only did it because i was kind of forced and took one for the team, but this new guy i have liked for a long ass time and never expected this to happen. does anyone have any good tips

to quickly explain my situation, my mom decided to take in one of our cousins, so now he lives with us now.

recently there's been strange smells coming from his room. One day the smell that came from his room smelled like piss and it irritated my nose like paint. I described it as paint but my brother said it was a strong piss smell. It would go away after a couple of days but it would also reach my room which was right across. Another day it smelled less like piss but it was a strong irritating smell. like i was inhaling some chemical. Another day it would smell like something sweet like candy or strawberries. We went into his room just to figure out what it is, but when hes gone the smells disappears or atleast has a weak moldy like smell. we looked around for anything suspicious but could not figure it out.

Ive talked to friends and some gave some very scary answers of drugs like meth, which i dont believe to be the case.

hes 16 and I wanna ask teenagers in this sub what this kid is doing. some kind of drugs? inhalants? I cant figure it out
