Okay, maybe I'm over reacting.. My boyfriend has an autistic brother (age 16), he's on the better half of kids with autism. (For example, he can order his own pizza and use social media on his own without help) so, there's some things he does that creep me out. While my boyfriend is at work, me and his brother are home during the summer. We chill in seperate living rooms because I enjoy my own privacy, if he hears me make a noise he will shut the volume to what ever he's listening to to listen to me, and I've noticed that if I go upstairs to my boyfriend and I's bathroom (it's in our room) he will wait till I'm up there and then follow me up and use the bathroom right next to our room (there's a bathroom down stairs next to the living room).. Am I being paranoid or is this weird?

I am happy I moved out I mean I am 26 years old and getting married. I just feel sad i guess about being the grown up part. I keep thinking about when I was younger like in elementry school, middle school etc and wish I can go back to those days. When my dad would make me breakfast and we would go out on saturdays to random stores like Costco or Home Depot to look around for fun or my mom and I would watch cooking tv shows together and I would help her make dinner together and then get to taste the food while she was cooking. Dont get me wrong i love being independent with my fiancé but I guess I feel sad about change and getting older and seeing my parents get older and sometimes I get jealous knowing my sibilings still get to see them daily. Is this normal? I know i can go over my parents house whenever I want but its not the same.

We live far away and mostly communicate over WhatsApp. We call once a week. No we don't have fights but I always force myself to stay kind and polite but the way she talks, what's words she uses (tons of diminutives) and her oversensitivity to e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g keeps me on the edge of bursting into a shout or cry. I control myself but it cost me a lot. Once we're done I feel like I want to punch something, I usually need to vent and I end up taking some herbal tranquilizers. I know I will never change my mum but we seem so incompatible character wise.. I never feel like I can truly be myself when with or talking to her. This is very sad . Any thoughts? And support?

I thought of buying my nephews and nieces things they want, having fun playing games with them, taking them to their favorite restaurants. What else can I do?

I am seeing a therapist that's treating my anxiety and ptsd. He's also trying to help me leave my husband (I'm a bondage sex worker) I have been married since I was 12. Anyways, yesterday was my first appt with him. I was nervous and shaking during my appt so he gave me stuffed toy to hold. And every time I talk about how I get tied up and raped by my husband and his friends I get nervous he would change the subject and ask me what toys in the room is best or he would ask me what my favorite tv show is it where I bought my shoes from. It's like he doesn't want me to talk about my problems. Should I change him? Also isn't it weird that he does therapy in a play room? I have 5 kids and they are too old to be playing with toys. He has great reviews and I know he helped people with their ptsd but I still feel awkward. Thanks for your time

- Your child got bullied badly and is now taking depressive medications. You have low self-esteem and can easily be taken advantage by others. He/she's very naive. - Your child is a bully that takes pleasure in hurting weaker people. He/she is a composite liar too and has no empathy at all. You've been told your kid is a sick, disturbed individual. Which of the two scenario would be your worst nightmare for you to handle?

I am 30 and just got into a heated argument with my mom over my relationship with my bf (we are in a LDR). She thinks I've changed since being with him (we've been together for 6 months). At first, she was fine and happy, but gradually she started saying negative things about it. She feels like I am abandoning her just because I want to spend some time with my bf, who comes back to NY from VA to visit me whenever he can. I spent a week at his parent's place with him and she got upset, saying I don't even bother to come back home to see her when I gave her a call about 3 times a day for that week. She said if I end up pregnant, I will be on my own, she would not help me. She is also afraid I would eventually move to VA to be with him. My bf does want me to move but I told him is too early to decide, and he respects that. She doesn't even like the thought of me going to VA to visit him like he comes back to visit me. She said if I do move, I would be an unfilial daughter. I don't know how to patch things up with my mom about this. I feel like she is hindering my relationship with my bf. I can't even calmly talk it out with her, she only raises her voice and accuse me of things, thinking she is right. I want to stay in this relationship, my bf and I are very serious about it, but I don't want to end up having a bad relationship with my mom either. My bf knows my mom is not happy, but he doesn't know the details. Should I tell him? What did I do wrong here?

His sister was a very good student and he was the worst.I was a great student and I m in Engineering school and he always said you dont need to finish school to be smart.In his hometown his old classmates still call him stupid.And he cries.

im a guy, my real name is james patrick. my parents always call me "gay pee", even though i'm not gay. i asked my mom why she and my dad call me that, and she says it's because once in 1st grade the teacher asked me for my name and i introduced myself as "JP", but the teacher apparently misheard it and called me "gay pee" instead. i got my permit last friday, and it even says "gay pee" as my name. at school, the teachers and classmates all call me gay pee, even my doctor calls me that.

im a 17 year old girl. my mom passed away when i was only 5, and i'm an only child, so its just me and my dad now. anyways, he treats me like i'm only 2. he talks to me in a baby voice and even says stuff like "gah gah goo goo", and he sings me annoying nursery rhymes. yesterday when i got home from school he even sang the apples and bananas song. whenever we go clothes shopping, he buys me pajamas with feet and barney or hello kitty onesies. i never wear them, and he constantly tells him that he's very disappointed in me for doing so. i'm in study hall right now, and my dad might show up anytime, because he sometimes follows me to school to make sure i'm behaving, even though i've never been in trouble at school, and i get all a's in my classes. he makes me sleep in a crib. when we go out, he ties me onto a wheelchair. he even takes me into the men's bathroom and change my diaper. sometimes he even offers a mom with a baby 10 to 20 dollars to breastfeed me. what should i do?

It is all over things that are trivial though maybe I share too much. They see me about twice a month. I get lectures for example about how I spend my money on therapy and how that is not healthy to be in therapy (I have anxiety problems). They always seem to find out when I try to keep something a secret from them. My father lectures a lot more then my mother. My mother just lectures about diet, posture, fitness, etiquette, etc...... As well as social skills and ranting about my brother's wife and the wife's mother. My Dad lectures like Marie in the show "Everybody Loves Raymond". Yet my Dad's parents never lectured him. they let him be an adult. Meanwhile my Mom's father always nagged so I would think it would have been the other way around.

This summer has sucked because of it. School starts soon and I have nothing to talk about. My parents separated at the end of the school year and all they do is fight in text messages now and my Mom comes to us to vent about our father. We've only seen him once this summer and I don't know if Mom is right that he doesn't love us or not. Actually she says he doesn't want a relationship with us (not that he doesn't love us). But when he calls to want to get together she tells him no and makes us go somewhere. Only time we saw him was a wedding in his family. I back my Dad cause at least he is not trying to keep us from our Mom. Our Dad does lie to her a lot and my mother says they hadn't been having sex which makes her think he could be cheating though he denied that.

I'm from the Dallas area, but go to college in Lubbock. At school, I pay for my own apartment. I plan to get my own apartment in Dallas after I graduate, but I currently stay with my parents when I'm in Dallas because I'm only there during breaks. When I'm away, I can do as I please and my parents treat me like an adult because I'm on my own and pay my own bills. At home though, they treat me like I'm still child with a curfew. All I ever do is work and focus on summer classes, I never do anything while I'm home for break. Some coworkers of mine invited me out this weekend. Unfortunately, when I'm not at work, they are and vice versa. We can't hang out until after I get off from work (around 11:30). This will be the first time I've done anything with friends all summer. They wanted to do something for me before I go back to school. I mentioned this to my dad, didn't even mention where we wanted to go, and he threw a huge fit about me wanting to go out late. He knew they wanted to take me to a bar and thought it was a bad idea to go into the city late. I understand that he's just being protective and that I can't complain about my freedom while still staying with them, but it's frustrating because I'm an adult (I'm 23) and he acts like I'm still 16. I told him exactly where we would be and even said I wouldn't take my car and he's still pissed. I just wanted to do something fun before classes start again and he's acting like I go out and party every night.

My sister's boyfriend is living with us and he brings out the worst qualities in me. I've tried everything from being nice to plain avoiding him, but my sister told me with some amusement recently that he said it's his favorite pass time to annoy the heck out of me because he thinks it's funny to see how angry I get. This is especially stressful as I've been trying really hard to get my anger problems under control and he seems to undermine me. In addition, he's there for EVERYTHING. If we go on vacation--he's there. If we go half way across the country to visit relatives--he's there. He always has this monotone, long draw voice and is one of the most sarcastic, pessimistic and condescending people I have ever met (in person at least). Sometimes, if he can get away with it, he forwardly speaks down to me and really gets me angry. I don't know who he thinks he is sometimes. Sometimes he's nice, but overall I can't stand being around him. He makes me lose my temper and pits my sister and little brother against me and makes fun of me. He makes me ashamed of myself every time I lose my temper, and avoiding him like the plague .How do I live with a person like this? Anger isn't right, avoiding doesn't work as he likes to annoy me. What's the best way to approach this? He acts everything acts he own the house acts everything. I really need help what the best way to approach this?

It sucks and I'm hurt but me, my brother, my sister who is nearly 40 years old and her husband lives with mom. I'm 26 years old. My bro is 20. sister and her husband has 5 kids and only 4 live in the house with us. my older sister mom clash a lot because she didn't agree with my sister's life choices by getting pregnant at 15 going on 16 and wanting to live in the streets and experiment with drugs when that didn't happen in our lives growing up. I was only a baby at the time in the 90s when that happened anyway we had a huge falling out because two of my nephews stay in my brother's room, they've been living with us for nearly a year my brother wants his room back and space so my mom thought they could stay in another area of the house and my sister and her husband dont want that. The husband has huge criminal record he doesn't care about anything or anyones life. They don't have morals and she doesnt teach her kids manners. A big argument happened so i told my sister and her husband don't say anything to mom and mom dont say anything to anyone so my sister's husband got in my face and said " who the f are you" I didn't respond my sister called me and my mom a b*tch later on after. They pushed my mom on the floor. My sister is manipulative and lies and causes drama there is no talking to them when everything turns into an argument. I'm a non confrontational person theyre about the street life and violence. Wouldn't you want them to leave your home after being disrespectful?

I do. I never had that motherly love from my mom. She walked out on us when my brothers and I were kids. One of them hates her to death because she dumped us and good riddance. I never made a mother/daughter relationship with her. When I see girls with their mothers, I get jealous and envious. My mom breaks promises, only thinks of herself, never calls us, not even on our birthdays, only sends post cards and she is selfish as much as I hate to admit it. My dad said a real, strong woman doesn't just leave her family and my mom is a coward. I hated hearing that. My mom is strong, she just didn't make the right choice. My friends have strong, loving mothers and my jealousy is so bad that I shun them. My mom told me the real reason they left because I have autism and she didn't wanna deal with a child with a disability. That's why she left. I was heartbroken. I decided to go home after I left England. She stood me up for dinner and I waited three hours. She's done this before. She didn't even apologize or felt bad for it. I was planning live with her but everyone warned me about my mom abandoning us. My dad was against me staying with my mom. I need my mother! 😭😭

i needed help finding a shirt so i asked my mom to help me look for it, and she looked in the spot where i hid my vibrator. i had put it in a sock so its still "hidden" but she picked it up and felt something inside and immediately started asking me what is this, is it a vibrator, something similar, etc. i felt extremely uncomfortable as she kept interrogating me. she was saying just tell me id be straight up with you. where'd you get it. and whatever else. i kept denying the fact that it was one to her, but seriously why the f*ck can't i have any form of privacy?? i really don't need her to be that much in my business. im about to turn 19 yet she still treats me like a child and constantly wants to know every little detail in my life. im the only child, so i guess its understandable but still wtf? and i know she's going to keep asking, so what do i do? i tried telling her to just give me my privacy because i didn't want to answer her, but she kept on going. i really don't want to tell her. any help??

My mom only lets me drive places that are no more than 15 minutes away (and even then, it depends). I got my license exactly a year ago and I'm 18 years old. I don't have my own car. If I ask my mom if I could drive to a place that's further away, she'll say no because it's dangerous, I could crash, someone could follow me, or I could get pulled over. She has also told me that if I get put on the insurance, she'll let me drive but I'd have to pay. When I told her that was fine, she said the process would be too long and instead she'll let me when I get my own car. I have friends that live about an hour away and I can hardly ever make plans with them because there's usually no way for me to get over there unless somebody else is down to go with me and take me. Even if it's to a place 20 minutes away my mom doesn't want me to go. I'm also a good driver. Better than her even. Many people have said the same thing. I just feel like I should have more freedom. All I want to do is enjoy my youth and I feel like my mom is depriving me of that to a certain extent. I've run out of things to say. She's very stubborn and does not change her point of view. Makes me wonder if she'll still be like this when I'm 30. I know she's just worried but I'm confident in my driving abilities. Any tips? Thank you.

Its as the title says, I'm the younger sibling compared to my 16 year old brother, I know the thing of how parents love you very much. but now I feel like I don't get that much love anymore. They don't care about my education till my brother is done. They don't give me that same attention he gets. And the hitter is, my mom writes lengthy messages on our birthdays, but this year she did my brothers with a usual long sappy message, but just gave me a happy birthday.. I dont wanna make it seem like im a entitled brat. but I just miss the love I got, and I want it back.

My family and I were visiting my aunt uncle and their kids. We all went shopping together. My uncle and aunt ended up seeing this girl that they know who works there. I don't want to say how they know this girl for privacy reasons but she's 16. She's tall super skinny and extremely pretty. She basically looked like a mode. I immediately felt jealous cause she's about my age as I'm 14 and chubby:(. When they were talking to her my whole family including my grandparents aunt uncle and cousin and even my own parents were going on and on about how gorgeous she was. My grandpa and uncle both said she looks like a supermodel. Then later my uncle and cousin were even cracking sexual jokes about her later. It made me feel horrible because I know they think she's much prettier than me. I cried about this it hurt me so bad. Which is a shame because this fit was honestly so nice

My dad doesn't get a long with my mom so he makes sure to constantly talk bad about her to me and my brother. He is so negative and is disrespectful. He is never happy for my accomplishments and makes everything about himself. He's miserable so he wants everyone around him to be miserable as well. I can't stand him. Please give me some reasonable advice and don't just say "move out" because I'm only 19, I'm in college, and work a minimum wage job.

I am a 22 year old deadbeat from a small town and have just got my drivers license recently but parents don't want me driving a lot because I am a terrible driver. I graduated with an AAS in Criminal Justice in late May. . Obviously, this is not really an accomplishment because even someone with an IQ of 80 like me can graduate. Also I never had a job due to the fact that no one is stupid enough to hire me. I am living with my elderly parents who are taking care of me. I am skinny-fat(5'11 at 157lb) with no muscles whatsoever. My mother controls what I eat so I eat whatever grease she cooks up. I barely work out and I can not do many weights(the heaviest weight I could do for military presses is 40lbs.) I obviously have low t but parents refuse to take me to the doctor. Another thing is a pervert who sends nudes on chat rooms and masterbates daily despite the fact that I feel weaker and more emotionally volatile afterwords(masterbation probably lowers t levels). Women are not and never be attracted to me. I got a Nevada hooker and even she didn't want to be involved. Besides porn addiction, I smoke cigars once in awhile and I frequently drink. I usually spend my days watch tv(I am too stupid to read), play a video game, or spend hours online either trolling or looking at porn or whining about how much of a piece of **** I am. I never go outside or help around the house. Lastly I am an absolute pussy. I can not handle any hardships or criticisms. What can I do to Also, listen to metal music Parents wouldn't let me join the military

Growing up, my family always made ends meet, but we never had a lot, and so I felt like struggling to an extent was a part of my identity and made me proud that I worked for the things I had. My grandma died last year, and when my dad sold her house for $500,000, it was more money than he knew what to do with. He said that he would like to help me now, since I need the money now more than once he passes away (I could be old by then). He uses the money to pay for my tuition, and he even bought me a mobile home for $150,000. I live in it by myself, and I feel so guilty. I don't deserve such generosity, and I keep thinking my neighbors must be judging me as a loser millennial (I'm 22), who gets everything from her dad. I've fallen into a depression because of it, knowing that I have nothing to complain about, yet I feel so lonely in this house and spoiled. I just wish I could go back to simpler times when my grandma's money wasn't in the picture. I wish I could just have my dad donate all the money instead, because clearly I don't deserve it. My dad just wanted me to have an easier life and be happy, but it had the exact opposite effect. I'm trying to study to be a social worker, and help those who haven't been as lucky as I am, but today my depression is getting the best of me and I feel hopeless. I'm sorry for the long post, but if anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it, because I feel so trapped. I can't move away or my dad will be hurt that I didn't like the house.

I am excited to be a Father to my first born child in December. We have had genetic testing and all is good. My only concern now (anxiety/several sleepless nights) is my Father in Law's nose - which looks like two cheese puffs stuck up a Donkey's ***. I would be absolutely heartbroken if the baby came out with his nose. What Parents DNA does the nose usually follow? Also, if the worst case scenario does happen, at what age would Rhinoplasty be an option?

I dont like to use psychology terms but that term in general i feel gets the point across that shes basically a draining energy in my life. I want a job to move out. Until then, i also have 0 friends and so no wonder im depressed.

My graduation already passed and I've honestly been feeling so shitty. None of my family...my own blood came to my graduation. This was such a big moment in my life and seeing that no one came to support me it just really hurts me. I graduated April from an RN program and that **** literally sucked the life out of me. Once I knew I was graduating I was so freaking proud of myself. I worked my *** off to finally get to the end of the tunnel and was so excited for grad. When grad day came...my family didn't. I went to my graduation myself. What hurt the most was when I saw my classmates reuniting with their families and I just stood there by myself awkwardly. I didn't have a family to reunite with. I didn't get any flowers. I didn't even get any pictures that day. I honestly felt so hurt. Such a big pinnacle in my life and to not have anyone there for me is sad. I was so embarrassed. I took my degree, took off my gown and bussed home. I didn't even stay for the grad celebrations. I came home crying because I thought that supposed to be my day 😕. Some days when I'm having a good day I'll just remember my grad and feel sad for the rest of the day. I was thinking of going to a photographer and getting grad photos done there so I at least have something...but it just won't feel the same & it's expensive as well. This has been bothering me for months now.

White goes hi Canadian says eh Mexican goes half a night day Arab goes brrrooo French goes hoh hoh hoh And the Asian says oh herro German goes yah Wop goes eeeyyy And the Jew says oy oy oy But there's one sound That no one knows What does the Black say?

Im 20 year old colleg student. I know how to drive, cook a little and clean, but in our culture the kid stay with parents until marriage. Some part of me feel bad that I don't know-how to do everything like other students ( living alone, working, cleaning,etc) but mom said everyone wish they still live at home and have someone to cook and clean for them.

So my dad has a 1952 Chevrolet Impala, it's like his dream car. He hardly even drives it. He just keeps it in the garage and rubs it with a diaper. Anyway, earlier today I had my friend over at my house. My parents were out with their friends and weren't home. We were playing Modern Warfare Remastered on Xbox and I was shooting people in the game with the 44 Magnum and I told my friend about how my dad has a gun just like that in the garage. He didn't believe me so we went out into the garage and I showed it to him because I know where my dad keeps it. We were playing around with it and I didn't know it was loaded and I had it pointed towards my dads car and pulled the trigger and the bullet shot out and went through the hood of the car. I was like "Holy **** my dad is going to kill me" and my friend just laughed and went home. My parents are going to be home in an hour. I put the tarp cover over the car so hopefully my dad won't notice right away. My dad is already still kind of mad at me for getting his Babe Ruth signed baseball destroyed (long story) so I am afraid of what he will do when he finds out about the car. What should I do?

There's this family who lives down the street they're very nice. Just recently their nephew moved in with them who is 19. He is also very nice. I myself am 15. The other day I talked to him and he asked for my snap so I gave it to him. I really just thought it was to be friendly and I knew he knows my age so I though he just wanted to be friends. He snapped me first and we were talking about very mundane things such as school and sports. He then told me I'm the most gorgeous girl he's ever seen. I just took the compliment and tried to clearly give him the message I'm not into him like that. Next thing I know he's snapped me a detailed graphic message of what we would do if we ever met up and I was clearly freaked out. He then sent me pictures and videos of his penis. Tbh I almost feel like this dudes obsessed with me, which scares me. I Didn't respond to any of the things he sent me like that. I was really shook about all of this and I feel like a maybe should tell my parents but I know they'd be mad at me for just giving him my snap like that. My parents are Italian so they're extremely strict. Adult advice???

One of my cousins, for privacy s sake we will call Mark recently was arrested for tax evasion and is now in prison, his little brother, who I usually have to babysit, asked me why his brother isn t at home anymore. Now Mark has always been a bad kid, legit a basement baby who was in and out of juvie as a kid but SOMEHOW his parents managed to keep all of this from Mark s little brother. How do I even begin to explain this, and should I even bother? The kid s 7 years old I feel like he could handle it.

Hello! My parents mentally abuse me, saying things such as "go die" "go walk to your girlfriends house, hope you get shot up and die" as she lives in a slightly unsafe area. I'm 15, turning 16 in a few. I'm very successful in the modeling industry, and my parents have mentally abused me to the point where I cannot focus on schoolwork nor modeling. I want to be successful but I can't with my parents bitching about every little thing I do wrong. They say they hate me etc. they've told me I'm a curse and the worse thing that's ever happened to them. My mother and father re not in my life, and keep in mind these are my grandparents (70 years of age) who are mentally abusing me it's gotten to the point where they've started pushing me around like a toy and choking me, I have photo / video evidence, and I can't go to the cops because they filled a report on me first because I push them back in my defense everytime they put their hands on me in an innopropriate fashion. What can I do? I need answers. I don't wanna call the police bc I don't wanna be taken away to a home, bc I have a girlfriend and friends around me. They've lied to the whole family saying I beat them up when really I'll push them off of me because I've had enough of all the physical violence they put me through. Help!

Me and my boyfriend recently had a baby. Sadly my mother isn't around as she passed away a couple years ago from terminal cancer. I don't have the best relationship with my boyfriends mother, shes an alcoholic who is disabled due to alcohol abuse. she can't speak properly (it's almost impossible to understand her) so naturally that's a big obstacle between us forming any sort of bond. She's very loud due to this and basically has to shout her words. She has breathing and balance problems and slight brain damage too. I know this sounds awful but I have no respect or pity for the woman whatsoever, she did that to herself through alcohol and still continues to drink. I feel like since my mother isn't around, my boyfriends mother has taken advantage of the fact that she is the 'only' grandmother in the babies life and she has all this time that she gets to spend with her. She constantly wants us to bring the baby over to her house or wants to pop in to see us unexpectedly and she bought the baby a bib saying 'I love my nana' which I wanted to throw away as soon as I saw it. She's just very full on and obsessive over her. If my mother was around, things would be VERY different and she knows that, that's why I feel like she secretly loves that my mother isn't here. What can I do or say without causing a fight/argument? She even calls herself 'THE grandmother' which actually really upsets me, I feel like screaming 'she would have another grandmother aswell don't forget that!'

My dad never wanted another child...(I think you guys know where this is going), and now one is on the way. He feels that my mom has betrayed him, blah, blah, blah. Long story short, they are not talking, and me and my brother have to play "messenger". My family is now broken in a way that cannot be taken back--but is there still a way that I can at least make it feel more cozy?

It seems like the most logical solution; I need to study as much as possible otherwise my kids will come one day and say all their problems are my fault. However, I feel a bit bad that I'll barely talk to them and to my partner for 5 straight days every existing week.

A relative was found in her home dead, from medical issues earlier today. A bunch of my family lives in this street and right now everyone is gathered at our house screaming down the place. Relatives are coming from all over to mourn. We're drinking, cooking and bawling and crying. The women are making baskets

I'm 23. My mom & I have a bad relationship. Its stagnating my growth as a woman. she was dating this street guy. He'd beat her often & had a heavy influence on her hard drug/alcohol use. I'm the oldest of my 2 siblings who were biologically his children. I felt the need to protect my mother/siblings for they would all submit to his toxic behavior. I couldn't show fear because if I had, there'd be no chance for any of us. When he abused me/my siblings she never stood up for us because of her fear for him. When I was raped & word got around, her boyfriend told me "your a liar & I can't have liars in my house so get tf out". Instead of my mom inquiring, she sided with him, packed my things & put me out when I was 14. During a routine beating on my mom, I intervened & he drug me outside, put a gun to my head & said "***** I do what tf I want to do in my house!" & she stood on the porch not saying a word. When her boyfriend said he was going to have some guys kidnap/rape me for disrespecting him (protecting my mother) she slept in the same bed with him that night. Even though I am out of that house, when she calls I still feel the toxicity from miles away. I feel weighed down. Ive always protected/helped her since I was a child as if roles were reversed. She became dependent on that. I never wanted to abandon her because I didn't want to leave her alone with the drama/trauma. But I feel as long as I'm around her negativity I'll never flourish. Am I wrong for wanting to move on?

I was punished once in 6th grade. I know it was deserved but was my punishment still a bit harsh? My parents found out what my friends and I were doing to two kids; one of them had special needs. I was the one orchestrating it all. It lasted for 2 years (my parents were unaware for that long) and the special needs kid would often leave crying. Lets just say they put the fear of god on me at home but it still wasn't over yet. They walked straight to the assistance principal's office apologizing to the parents of the other kids, requesting the school to take measurements, that if I needed to get suspended then do it and told things as it was... basically they literally threw me under the bus. Then all my electronics and cell were taken away for more than a month, I wasn't allow to hang out with friends for a while, etc. I've never seen my parents that angry, disappointed, and motivated into taking actions. There never was a next time after that. I did genuinely apologized to both kids (the special needs kid was more forgiving; he forgave right away) several months later. Sometimes I would then volunteer to help the special needs kid. My parents are really laidback, reserved and friendly people. They rarely ever punish and if they did (like on that one time), that means it was very bad.
