Ok so I'm a 15 yr old boy and the boys that have been bullying me have been doing it for years. I used to have acne and be sort of chubby but my acne cleared up and I lost a lot of weight and got fit over the summer. I thought if I fixed those problems they would stop bullying me. School started and the bullying has gotten so much worse. They talk about my dad because he has a prosthetic leg (he lost his real one in the army). I often have to walk home because my parents work a lot and they will follow me home and that's when they attack me. They will kick me and punch me and spit on me and then they'll leave. One of the boys has a crush on this girl and the girl has a crush on me and she tells everyone about it. I don't like the girl and I told him that but he keeps insisting that I do. He told his buddies about it now It's basically torture to go to school. One of the boys found out that I was bisexual and he said if I didn't blow him he'd tell his friends. I'm not sure if he was serious but since it was just us I punched him and ran away. This was yesterday and today at school they all approached me and they had about 4 other boys with them and they were talking about how they're gonna beat my *** after school. Also, yes I have told my parents.. the most my mom has done was told me to avoid them and my dad just tells me to fight them and they'll go away. I also have gone to the principal but every time they just get a slap on the wrist.

Literally NONE of my friends have the same lunch period as me and the classes that i have before lunch the people i did talk to all sit in full tables and my school is REALLY overcrowded so there is no place to sit and there are some people that go to the library to (they arent loners, they just dont eat lunch) i dont know what to do the people dont look approachable and I never had to eat lunch alone before and I dont want to look like a loser at lunch being by myself help??

Well. When I was younger, thirteen I didn't give a FK at all what people thought of me. I'd get insulted everyday at school and at one point kicked and had my books pushed of the tables and I didn't give two fks. All the boys Called me a retard. I didn't give a damn Nowaday, at 18, I'm constantly asking for approval. And feel hurt some what easily. Why??

so im a senior andi met my friend sophmore year. over the years i've lost my friends (moving on throughout highschool) but i'd really like to keep in contact with this friend i have now (lets name her julia) she wants to go to the syracuse university and i want to go to buffalo state. i know we'll meet new people but she's been a good friend to me and i'd like to keep in contact but i'd like to know any tips. and i don't just mean an occasional "what're you doing" text or "how's college life" lol thanks !!

So I met a friend in the school and since I am stuck with them for the next 2 years, I tried to get to know them. My friend is friends with this girl whose friends with this guy. So whenever my friend follows me, her friend follows her and then he follows he's friend. Today we suppose to be in groups and he took my spot and said "Sorry, group is filled." I don't like the guy at all. I tried to even avoid my friend since she likes to hang out with them. She invites me for lunch or library to study and I study by myself and she always ask, I thought you was hanging out with us and I said I study alone. And I even told her I don't like the friends she hangs out with but she says she's don't friends with the guy but friends with the girl. What to do? avoiding my friend in school will just make me alone in this situation

So basically over the last couple weeks my friends (my closest and best friend might I add) have been flaking on all of our plans. Their reasonings will be something dumb like "its not my thing" or "I'd rather spend my money on something else" which I don't feel is fair. I always hang with them even when its places I don't want to go just bc I like hanging out with them and I'll be moving away soon. Yet they don't act the same and its starting to annoy me. So do I have a reason to be upset/ annoyed with them?

If ex didn't want to get back together why can't he take his eyes off me?? I go to church and he keeps looking at me and everytime i turn around he's looking at me. I was leaving and turned around and saw him looking after me

I have always felt unattractive , I want to know how I can commit going to gym and think positive. I am a negative person BELIEVE ME i always try my very best to be as positive as i can. I feel so unattractive next to my significant other... He always gets complimented I NEVER DO ... I wear the same shirt and he gets a " That shirt looks nice on you " but i dont get anything about my shirt. I am not sure whats wrong .... :/ Am I really ugly ? or unattractive ? but my aprtner says He loves me and that i am wrong ..... Why Do I feel that way I feel so horrible and fat and unhealthy and ugly ! I cant take this anymore it gets me super sad and upset. I want to feel ATTRACTIVE BUT NOTHING .... I cant find motivation I am so torn inside but laways smile and people always tell me I am perfect the way i am. I am very funny and outgoing and a party animal. I just want this feeling to go away. What can I do ??? Mind you ive felt this way ever since i lost my mother 5 years ago and my best friend 3 years ago. I FEEL HORRIBLE !!!! Please help me out guys !!! Thank You in advanced !

Part two, please comment on this one but read part one first: In sports the girl from maths was whispering to her friend and laughing and staring right at me. It was so obvious she was talking about me. I feel like I can't be myself. I feel like I have to change ME to just fit in. I came home from school yesterday hysterically crying. I dreaded school this morning. Just like I cried today and now I don't want to go back to school again. There just aren't enough hours where I'm home with my mum and I can cry without being made fun of. My mum has just been so lovely and supportive and now I dread leaving the comfort of home and going back to school. I really really am dreading the morning and just don't know what to do. I've always loved school, so this is so different and strange that now I don't want to go. There isn't a specific question here I just need some MORE advice because I'm still dreading tommorow. Please. Anything. Thank you.

Okay so I've just started a new school on Thesday and I really really am not doing okay. I've moved over from Spain and it's so nice there. Everyone wanted to be my friend. It's like living in a bubble, all of a sudden mine has popped and now I'm in a secondary school which I dread going to each day. So yesterday was my first day and my first lesson was maths. The teacher told me to sit at the back next to this girl and her friends and so I did. I'm really quite a shy person but my mum told me to be confident and friendly so I smiled at the girl. She just kind of sneered at me and moved her chair as far away from me as she could get. She then made up and excuse to move away from me and her friends moved with her. These other girls came and sat with me. To be fair, they were nice. Polite is the perfect word. That's the thing, I know they were just being polite to me because I was lonely. But they asked me to sit with them at lunch so I did because otherwise I would've been on my own. The thing is they're not my type of people. They're obesesed with makeup and social media. To the point that they're caked in makeup and everything they post has to be discussed for half an hour. My type of people are the ones that don't care how they look, you can have a laugh with them and be yourself. I know I don't feel that way with these girls, not like when I was in Spain. Check my profile for part two and comment on that

There a coworker of mine who we've been good friends for 9 years. The last year we stopped being friends bc her boyfriend wasn't comfortable with our friendship. Recently she came up to me and told me she feels uncomfortable and misses our friendship. Then she sends me an email saying she got a new phone and not all of her contacts transferred over. Is it possible to be uncomfortable? What does this mean? Thanks

I have had a very toxic relationship with my "best friend" ever since I started college. We have lived together for 3 years now, and it has become very clear to me that she is a horrible person. She has spoken poorly about every single person she knows (I legitimately cannot name one person that we both know who she has not trashed), but then she will turn around and act like she is friends with them when it is convenient for her. She is genuinely racist, and to top it all off she is dating my ex-boyfriend (and kept it from me for months). She is overall just a fake and manipulative person. I did not know that people like her even existed prior to meeting her. I should have known the first couple of times she screwed me over that she does not care about me or anyone but herself, but I let myself believe for 3+ years that the way she treated me was normal. I really just want her out of my life, but unfortunately I live with her. Plus we are friends with the same people. She is almost impossible to avoid. Ever since I have been trying to distance myself from her she has aligned herself with our other roommate and has been ganging up on me. She constantly has something to say about everything I do, and it is really hard for me to just not care about what she thinks (after all, I did consider her a close friend for a long time). How can i get out of this toxic relationship and stop letting it ruin my life?

Initially, I texted him that my father passed bc I was to emotional to say the words via a call. He called right after that to give condolences. But during the convo, he somehow mentioned that he'd gone on an interview for a job, which I ignored bc I could care less about that at the time. Then after a few minutes he said that he was on his way to church. So we got off the phone. Then he texted a few times checking on me. I understand that people text a lot these days. But for something so serious and painful as my father passing, I would think that a true friend would actually call to check on me, instead of just texting. That's what I would do. So now I'm just fed up bc on top of that, he's said a lot of ignorant stuff over the years which has left me wondering why I'm friends with him at all. He's nice but says ignorant stuff, doesn't have a sense of humor and never has solid advice when I need it. Am I making too much of the texting thing? Should I just let this friendship fade away?

I've been dating my friends niece for almost 4 years both her and him are my best friends. Her parents died when she was a kid so she lives with him and she's homeschooled I don't know why she said she doesn't like to talk about it. Last week we found out she's pregnant she's 15 16 Saturday. He doesn't have a Facebook he doesn't want one so he hasn't seen our post about it. It's been a week we haven't told him yet she's not sure how we're gonna tell him. How can I tell him ? I'm 39 40 in December

and he does NOT know my bf at all.. but he is my colleague in school... is he being friendly/social? making small talk?

Why would he do that? Ok I follow him and his friend too. They re both in the post. He has a girlfriend and we already knew that. So why like my post via dm? It wasn t flirty or anything like that. It was very respectable to be honest. It happened a little while ago but it still baffles me is all.

I made mistakes and ended up with people hating me and now i run and hide in the library at lunch because im pretty sure i will start crying otherwise. How long does it take for school stuff to blow over? I had a group of friends and we had an argument (not a silly pathetic one) and now they say they like me still while behind my back they say they hate me and spread rumors.

I read that the only relationships that work are ones where you were friends with the other person first... I don't have many male friends though, so I'm hoping that's not true.

I work in an office with 9 other women. We have the greatest boss ever. He not only is our boss but he is our good friend. He is a mid 20s year old great looking guy. At a staff meeting he told us they were going to remodel the employee break room. He ask for our suggestions on the remodel. One of us, Lois, said it would be nice to have a couch and a bed in the break room. He asked why we would want a bed. Betty said some things us gals like to do we enjoy more lying down than standing or setting. We all had a good laugh. He said "I see your point but I would hope some of those things you are not doing at work". Betty said "Would it make a stronger case for a bed if we invited you to join us". Our boss said "I can not talk anymore about this because if I do I could get in trouble". We had a good laugh about that. Other employees that we told about this said we were subject to sexual harassment. Were we? Gals (and guys) we would really like your opinion.

My older brother has always been a bit of a party boy. I am not that type of person. But we keep in touch and try to keep it civil. His best friend, that I have known for a long time, is getting married and I wasn't invited to the bachelor party. I got pissed at my brother and he got pissed at me. He said: "You're such a child. You want to be invited but you don't want to come. Remember how you were at my bachelor party? You were out in the balcony talking with your gf all night. I mean for ***** sake you think smoking weed makes you a bad person. You think having strippers at a bachelor party is cheating. You think because I party with my friends 2-3 times/year that it makes me an immature frat boy. It's my wedding all over again. The whole week before you b**ched about being seated in the back. I put you there for your sake. And when I put you in the front what happened? You were in the parking lot arguing with your gf and you missed basically all the speeches, including the best man dance that you refused to partake in. Grow the f**k up". I may not be the center of the party but I would still like to come. He's my friend too. I just feel like he could considered me as well. He acts like his friends are more his brothers than I am. I am not a boring person. It just takes time for me. Can we even have a relationship? M

Everyday he'll text me around nine or ten at night, and only send one or two texts a day. I thought I was annoying him so I went to end the conversation but he kept it going asking questions. This is just annoying me why is he doing this? All my other guy friends reply at random times and we have proper conversations. This guy calls me cute and stuff but is a horrible texter I'm so confused?

If the dorm mate says you guys paid the same money so the room should be divided evenly, even though both sides are completely different. One is better than the other side by more space, outlets and things like an erthnet plug in. I feel completely angry of how could someone mention that when both sides are made which one is better, which the average person would pick her side. So paying the money has no meaning if it does, I want to be able to choose my side of the room them or to be more even flip a coin so its neither of us that decide. Pretty much I feel so angry and everything that I was willing to just live with it that she does, I won't.

Pretty much I don t know, but from what I think normally people will get angry when you messaged someone you need to communicate with and their move in day for the school is two weeks earlier. I messaged her s month ago from here repsonse and took her a week to respond.which basically in the end, I had to move in. Basically this roommate is very ignorant more of stupid. So when communicating to her, nothing is accomplished. When I was finally able to get ahold of her she had already made descisions for the room. Taking the space I needed for the desk. And my other furniture I use. Basically she has 4 outlets, erthernet. Which I needed to use and she doesn t even use. I have 2 outlets and no erthernet. I have let these things go and just manipulated the situation putting my furniture in the center since my side had less space. Then she threatened me saying she will talk to the our room level manager and said we paid the same money. Pretty much bringing the same amount of money has no reasoning in this because one side of the room has basically less. Half less actually. Overall I am not wrong being annoyed with my room mate. I put with things that effect me but I could live with it. But things I cant. Like the erthnet and space which she is not even using. How is she using it, grocery bag. Yes a space that perfectly fit a table is a for grocery bag. The space for my desk is a hallway so when I put something there she complains and brings same money issue.

I'm 30 and I've been hooking up with this 43 year old guy since 2015 we aren't in a relationship. When we first started talking he told me he didn't have anything to offer me. I didn't really care at the time because I thought it would be a one time hookup. We have only hooked up three times since 2015 and we live in different states. (But soon I'll be able to see him more often) The last time I saw him was in July. I asked him if I could come see him again. Like if we can meet up and have sex again and he said yes. I told him I would help him out financially for sex since he is currently going through a hard time and is living out of his car. I like spending time with him and I like the sex. Anyway recently he said he bet I've probably been sucking off other men, but I told him honestly I haven't because I don't. He asked me what do I do if I don't have sex when I'm horny I told him I just masturbate to the videos he sends me. He sent me a video of him masturbating with a toy. What does my age have to do with anything? I am not mentally challenged I don't get why you assume this.

So i met these few people during the production of one of my short film. It was an actress (not famous) and her cousin who was her manager. So yea a little after production, they invited me to a halloween party so i went had fun and that was that for her cousin and friend. The actress i spoke to her a little later to let her know about the screening for the short film. She couldnt make it but asked me to let her know the reception and to send a copy for her reel. I did and that was that. So year later, halloween party again and the actress posted on her insta story the ad for the party for her cousin. So i was thinking of going again but i find it kinda weird and rude that I'm hitting her up for that after a year fo not talking to them. Is it?

Okay so here s what happened. I got a five day suspension from school for no reason. It started Monday. I saw a girl that I was interested in and I wanted to be friends with her but I m a shy girl so I sent one of my friends to go talk to her for me and she yelled in me and my friends face so I got mad and went down stairs and I scratched her picture ( my school has pictures of students posted around the building) then she saw that her face was scratched off and snitched on me (this all happened during lunch). After lunch I got called down to the principals office from my math class and I went downstairs and they told me that I have a five day suspension and I tried to explain to them why I scratched her face off I told them that i try to include this girl in my social group but she decided to be all rude about it they did tell her that she should be more nice but she didn t get a consequence for what she did even though she deserved it ( they were talking about how her feelings were hurt and they even said that she could be going through a difficult time!!! But there s no excuse for that I don t care about your feelings or what you re going through you still need to respect me no matter what) I tried to convince them light up the punishment but they wouldn t they even made me apologize to her even though she was the one that needed to apologize to me she deserved to have her ugly disgusting face scratched off she looks better that way anyways.

Well my friend does cocaine, so that may explain a lot. I met one of her co-workers, and this guy ends up skipping work to hang out with me. My friend gets mad at ME for him spending a ton of money and missing work. I find out he did it again. My friend acts as if she is trying to impress these co-workers, meanwhile they have done cocaine together? They tried to act like I was irresponsible, and when I texted this guy a bunch pissed off, they just got pissed off at me. I ended up just blocking all of them. Do they not all have serious issues? My friend made it such a huge deal I was with a "co-worker" when they act like they are in a fraternity and are doing something illegal. I was pretty angry about it, but I just said that guy could block me. Why would they understand my anger

I've helped people by having them stay in my spare room, and other by giving them rides to and from work. I've never asked for money, and don't want it. I would like friendship though. They disappear on my and later I see them on social media with "with their friends who helped them through a hard time". Just venting, I guess.

Hi all, I'm working on a psychology project for school and need to interview people of different age groups about friendship. Can you take a few minutes to answer the following questions, as well as listing your age? Thanks! a. How can you tell someone is your friend? b. How many "best" friends do you have? c. How long have you known your best friend (pick the longest friendship) I. How do you know this person is a best friend? ii. What are some characteristics of this relationship that helps you to determine this is a good relationship? iii. What are some ways that you and your best friend complement each other (e.g. she is calm and keeps me focused; we both love to do sports; we can make each other laugh) iv. How has your relationship changed over the time you have been friends? v. Why do you think these changes have occurred? vi. If you remain friends for another 10 years, how might your relationship change and why?

I was thinking this woman doesn't respect me and isn't interested in me like I am her and I was advised to stop being friends with her. I tried being distant and gave an unenthusiastic "hey" in response but she was friendly and wanted a little fun banter that I went ahead and went along with (something about the ice cream I was eating going to my booty -she knows I want a big butt- and me saying it's sweet like me and her playfully denying it...). She had once again tenderly put her hand on my waist in passing behind me while saying some affirmation about liking me apart from others I work with. She had also looked at me smiling and said "you know I love you" and she always says this...but in so many ways she doesn't actually act like we are friends. She is hot and cold. She once responded "who's this?" to my text and when I was surprised, stated that her last phone had drowned and she had lost all contacts. I had a lot of trouble believing this. I stopped texting her and it's been a month without texting. She has also gone on giddily about finding me a man which is usually an indicator that a person is not available. But on the other hand, she always came on more strongly than I ever did her...she used to make blunt sexual comments to me, often makes unnecessary, positive affirmations about my body (hips, butt and breasts) and is touchy. Playful/flirty. Playfully shoves my lower back occasionally. She even went "Mm mmm" recently as she approached me from the side as to suggest she liked what she saw and put her hand on the side of my waist in passing. And the last time she said she was going to find me a man, she was smiling widely like she was getting off on it. I don't have trouble attracting men. It could be her way of assessing my feelings about men or a game she's playing to keep me interested. She doesn't actually seem concerned that I have a man in my life. She either knows I'm bi or is wondering. People have advised that she just uses me for attention....I don't want to have to stop talking to her. If she's not a friend and truly doesn't respect me, then fine, I'll move on. But then I come in and I'm not sure if these people are correct that she doesn't respect me, etc... she once even said she hopes her daughter ends up like me. She's with a man (not married) but apparently Isnt happy -she has threatened to leave and stays for their kid.

This is embarrassing but I was dating this guy, he ended up trying to cheat on me with my "friend" and before that me and him had been sexting. He sent the girl who I thought was my friend the chat and even the pictures. Now she s using them to her advantage and I m like her slave now.. I can t tell the staff at school because they ll tell my mom and my uncle will find out. It s one of the top 10 schools in my city and my mom will kill me if she finds out. My friend won t delete them and I don t know what to do anymore. Please help!! (Also, please don t judge. I know I did something really stupid)

and he does NOT know my bf.. and does not know me well enough... is he being friendly/social? making small talk?

I'm not sure how it works with titles and all that. I have a very secure job. But I haven't been able to pass the DMV test. So I would have to drive with a licensed driver, of course. But would they let me purchase and title the car? Also, would I be pulled over constantly because my tag would link to an unlicensed driver?

i m 5 11 good bod, tall, brunette, long hair, blue eyes, latina bilingual etc. (if you wanna see me check out ig:elysvnn) anyway, i try to be friendly and talk to as many girls as i can to hangout (from high school and from town) and have a good friendship. however they always turn me down for an idiot boyfriend they have and always choose them over me (so I m stuck at home on the weekends and crying myself to sleep). isn t it chicks before dxcks? or they come up with excuses or see me as a last resort, money bag, always leave me on read. (i love to dance on weekends, shop, play volley ball like a normal girl) i also notice a phony tone in girls voices when i say hi to them and try to converse. are they just being envious? or what am i doing wrong? i m tired of being lonely! i just wanna be that "hot" girl with that group of 8 girl friends that are super close. HOW DO I DO THAT? and why are my cousins always leaving me out of things too? they treat me just as bad as strangers and i just want atleast one good reliable bestie. ): help

Just curious!

So I got this friend in class. I always do my homework, assignments and take notes in class. That girl always asks for my notes, assignments and even ask me to send her the homework answers. We had an exam recently and she got an A and I got an F. Today she was asking for the homework and I am really pissed that I do so much work breaking my back to do all these things and she's getting an A on the exam. Should I stop helping her with the assignments and homework? Or I am just being mean for doing that because I failed?

I play videogames with these guys that I know online who I've known for 4 years, and for the longest time, We've had a facebook group chat. Recently, I've learned they recently started a new group chat since our old group chat was getting really big. I wasn't invited or told about this and I don't know exactly how to feel about this please help? The reason this impacts me so hard is because this group of guys are one of the few people who have liked me for who I am.

Hello everyone. I hope all is well. I just wanted to ask how I can make frieds in college. I'm currently depressed because most of my friends, if not all of them, are religious while I'm an atheist. The problem has nothing to do with me having a problem with religious, rather it has to do that whenever they are doing things together, they are always together, and I always feel like the odd man out, especially when they start talking about religious topics because only 2-3 of them actually know my religious views. They are always hanging out through their club, often leaving me at my apartment alone to do nothing but browse YouTube as I know they are having a blast. As a result, I'm depressed as I love hanging out with each one in small groups, but they are usually in massive groups where I feel extremely uncomfortable.

Sometimes it feels like I should have done something or i shouldn't have done it. When I start to think of things I could have done and I realize things could have been better and more happy for me but then I decided to don't do it.. and is heartbreaking to know I could have helped a friend or go before an opportunity I could have gone to but I know at that time I was stupid and didn't understand but it feels sad that now I can't do anything about it. I only can think I can try better in the future

Here me out please. I'm not saying that people should be arrested for ignoring people. I just think it's ridiculous that a girl can completely ignore me when I say hello to her on the street or she can ignore my texts when I get her number, and I AM THE ONE who gets a call from cops when I tell her to F - herself via text or face to face. Shouldn't it be considered an equal exchange of rudeness, if one person rudely ignores a polite text or greeting and the other person cusses them out? Why would someone have to suffer such blatant disrespect without breathing a single word of protest? *HEAR me out.

There a coworker of mine who we've been good friends for 9 years. The last year we stopped being friends bc her boyfriend wasn't comfortable with our friendship. Recently she came up to me and told me she feels uncomfortable and misses our friendship. Then she sends me an email saying she got a new phone and not all of her contacts transferred over. Is it possible to be uncomfortable? What does this mean? Thanks

My adopted sister is scared to stay with me she likes staying with my aunt better than with me but my aunt works during the week she can only stay with her on weekends. She said it's not fair she never use to have this problem. She said she's afraid something will happen to her. She works as a teacher at the university she's scared that there's gonna be a shooting there. There's never been one she never thought there be at her cousins school either or at a country concert. She stays with her every weekend except in the summer during the school year I go and pick her up on mondays at 5 unless she wants to stay with her for a little while after school I pick her up at 7. She was so scared to leave her tonight she made me FaceTime her as soon as we got home she can't stop crying I can't get her to go to sleep. How can I comfort her ? What should I say to her ?

I'm in my early 20s and I only have two friends. It just seems like I give bad vibes immediately even though I'm a very relax and chill person. I don't discriminate, I love all races and classes, I be friends with anyone, as long as they're good people too. But I guess thats not welcome to many people because some of the "friends" I do have, never want to hang out when I text them. Almost everybody I talk to or text would either ignore me, never open my message, or just tell me they're busy or whatever. Is it just because Im not suppose to have friends?

It feels like no one at school takes any interest in me or wants to be my friend. I dress nice everyday (I know that's not all someone looks for but it plays a big part if you see the popular kids) in trendy clothes like american eagle, lululemon, and victoria's secret. Some people talk to me but it's nothing more than just a conversation. I have no friends and sit with people who don't make me a complete loner but when everyone's done eating they always go somewhere else and leave me alone. I walk around like a lost person and I hide whenever someone I know who could be a friend opportunity is coming my way with their group. Is my personality that bad? Am I too awkward? Or nervous? Or shy?

So today I wanted to get Dutch bros with my friend and my mom came with me. I told my friend that when we get to Dutch say it's your birthday, because I didn't have enough to buy her one too because all I had was a 5$ gift card and I didn't want my mom paying for it because i didn't want to burden her and, I couldn't think of anything else so I decided to lie. After we got Dutch and such I went to drop off my friend at her house, my mom was like wait, happy birthday here's 20$ and I didn't think she'd do that, and I looked at my friend and said give it back I'm going to tell her. So she did and then I told my mom, mom I lied it's not her birthday. And she looked surprised, at first i didn't feel any guilt. My friend left and when I got home my mom said so you lied to me? And I said yes and I'm sorry I didn't want you to pay for her drink. And then she said I can't belive you guys lied to me,.. and so on. She was mad obviously, and so after awhile I started to feel guilty and then she told my brother and is now going to tell my dad. I don't lie to my mom because I'm usally up front about things and this like the first time I ever felt guilty about lying to my mom. I just took advantage of my mom basically and now I feel like complete ****. I have work to do but I can't focus on what I'm doing. I just felt like i has to get this out, y'all don't have to read it, it's long too so I doubt you'd read it 😂
