When I was 14, my stepmother found out I was wearing my sisters' black basketball shorts to sleep in (the shorts were unisexual and could be worn by either genders, I didn't even know they were my sisters). As a "punishment" she told me that I had to put on my sisters underwear and go to school that way (I was a boy that played sports). When I refused, she started GRABBING my shorts and trying to pull them off. I started, screaming, crying and running from her. I jumped on my bed and she started leaning over me like she was going to pull my shorts off. She finally stopped after I screamed and cried my lungs out. I'm starting to wonder if this counts as some form of sexual abuse. What if my stepmom had ACTUALLY pulled my shorts and underwear off by force? Would that have been sexual abuse? By the way, all of this actually happened when I was 14. I still traumatizes me to this day. I'm now 24.

This girl rejected me I saw her boyfriend he's kinda ripped but I'm a Greek god. He was dressed extra fruity she deserves better

We dated for 6 months and He suddenly broke up with me because he wants to explore his sexuality with men (he thinks he might be gay). However he says still wants me in his life and wants to be good friends with me. I don't mind being friends because our relationship was great but a part of me still wants to be with him. He also said that if this "journey" of exploring his sexuality dosent work out he might want to get back together IF I'm okay with that??! What does he really mean by all this? Why would he still want me in his life?? I've already got answers to him possibly being gay part I just want to know why he would still want me in his life after he was the one who dumped me.

I met this guy online 3 days ago and he fell head over heels for me and I really like him but now he's saying that he can't sleep because he can't stop thinking about me. And he gets sad knowing that he can't meet me because he is in Australia

Four or five years ago an event occurred in our family. One relative (an aunt who wasnt involved) has targeted one of the victims (her niece )of that event and is bringing it up again. Everybody but that person had put it behind the aunt. It hurt the one being targeted very badly back then and now with it being brought up they are upset all over again. The 'bullying' is so bad the niece jas to wait for the aunt to leave before joining the Christmas party, so nothing can go down. How do I get the niece to feel not like a victim and to help not let it hurt them? Idk what to do. She is part hurt by this and part angry. The niece aint only one upset at the aunt. What do we do to help cheer her up and forget about it?

I never talk to any girl my age. I don't know what to say because whatever I say is apparently wrong. They also just look more mature than me it's so annoying! I really need some good tips.

My Manager asked me how I got my job done so quickly. 8 hours worth of work in 3 hours time. I told her that I don't know what kind of expectations that you have of me, or what kind of lifestyle that Mc Donalds workers are living, that they can turn the tasks that you gave me, into a full time job... But all I did, was take a Unisom sleeping pill and a Multivitamin pills at 9 at night last night, and I woke up at 7 this morning.. Took a nice hot bath, shaved and brushed my teeth... Got my Uniform on.. I ate breakfast like a human being... I had SOS, Home Fries, sausage and Pancakes and Eggs... A Boston Creme Donut.. I had a nice tall glass of Orange Juice, and a Multivitamin pill... A glass of coca cola.. and a hot coffee. Then I walked my dog.. which is exercise.. And then I came to work at 11 this morning as scheduled. And furthermore.. I'm getting positive feedback for my job performance. Which makes me like this job, and I'm also gaining experience here. That has many implications for my work performance and my working abilities. So maybe the question that you should be asking the other people is... What exactly is your life like at home, that you take 8 hours, to do 3 hours worth of work, after spending years here on the job. Should I have said that ?

So I got news that I wouldn't get a Christmas bonus because I started working a little later than my other coworkers. Nobody told me until the day we were supposed to get our bonus. And I've been working my *** off for that bonus. My older brother who's at another location had no idea, too. But all my coworkers knew! It's because we get a fraction of what we sell at our location as a team as our bonus. So I basically gave them more money while I got nothing. They even told me that a worker in the past complained about the same thing, but the company did nothing about it. I swear to god, I'm so ******* angry. My older brother told me to be friends with them too (with my coworkers), in the past, but I just had a feeling they were fake. And before this, I was starting to warm up to them, but **** that. They can go to hell. See if I'll ever talk to them about non work related stuff again. Blank, you're an idiot. I only missed a couple of days. They could've told me at least, or gave me my portion. And I could get fine without talking. Been doing it since I started. It's not even my career job. It's a regular job. I don't make enough anyways, so obviously it doesn't mean much to you, because you're just an idiot.

Most people just assume "wtf is wrong with them?" and overlooking all the things good about a person. Does that mean these people aren't your "friends" ??

I mean right away. You meet him or her, and you feel like something is there. You want to hold his hand or just hang out with him. You want to stand closer and/or sit by him, but are hesitant. You just met him. I'm 23, and am surprised I'm posting a question in the category. It's just that, I've never felt a strong connection that soon. I have a strong connection with my best guy friend, but that's more of a spiritual connection. Not the kind I have with this guy. Or I might be imaging it, I have before. Time will tell I guess. anyway... who has felt this way before?
