218 | 1cr1trb_l3v4718 | null | l3v4718 | So basically I attended American elementary school until i was 10 years old, then I was removed to be homeschooled but, due to lack of preparation/education + adhd, my mother struggled to teach me alongside my other siblings, so she gave up entirely. I won't go into the situation with her other than I was neglected, treated not so well and now I am living away from her.
Obviously I was a child so I didn't have the resources or resolve to teach myself. Now I'm 18 and need my ged or equivalent for a job/college. Any advice on what to do or does anyone know reputable online Ged courses? Or any tips on what to do at all?
Thank you for reading :3
EDIT: thank you everyone who replied, everything was helpful and so fast! I'll be looking into khan academy, and the community College near me!
Maybe I'll update when I get my ged? | I've never been to school, I'm 18, what should I do? | 1cr1trb | [

1,695 | hb62e6_fv77shb | null | fv77shb | i was born in 2006 so i basically grew up with iphones and now i’m starting to regret it.
i see how my sister (born in 1999) had so many memories from her childhood. like riding bikes with my dad or getting herself into the most stupid, but funny situations as a kid, or friends. she even read a lot as a child.
but then there’s me.
all i could remember from my early childhood years (grade k-5) was just tapping away on my stupid phone and not choosing to do anything else. or get to know my parents. and i feel like those years i wasted on my phone instead of discovering what i like is the reason why i’m so awkward around other people. and also the reason why i don’t have the courage to speak out when i’m in a situation and just ask strangers on the internet for advice instead of family/friends.
it makes me sad i can’t take back those wasted years.
but about a year ago, i realized what i was doing to myself so i decided to..how do you call this... branch outside of technology ?
i developed skills like piano and other instruments, scrapbooking, writing, reading and i’ve become pretty good at those. but i still regret not doing anything with myself starting from when i was very young.
i know i’m still young (14F) and i have so many years to make up for that, but i can’t help but hate myself for those years i wasted doing nothing all day but go on my stupid phone.
edit: and not to mention, having internet access at such a young age introduced me to so many inappropriate topics that no 7 year old should know about. i just wish i can start over again and avoid technology until i got much older.
edit 2: thank you so much for the support! i really appreciate these comments. they kinda gave me another way to look at this and reminded me to stop dwelling on the past so much. after all, i’m still 14 and i got a lot of time to grow and mature as a person, so again thank you everyone! | i feel like i wasted my early childhood years | hb62e6 | [

938 | 1bp0cjh_kwsgl5o | null | kwsgl5o | Not sure if this is the place to ask but I couldn’t think of anywhere else. My friend has been down on her luck. She just moved less than a year ago and can’t find a job despite trying very hard. She was working retail (which was hardly supporting her) up until yesterday when she was let go mid shift for ‘obviously not being happy here’ and they over hired and she was the newest employee.
I have a full time career and have extra money I would love to give her, but she won’t let me just give her money and I can’t really hire her to do anything at the moment—any time I need a pet sitter, etc she’s the first one I call. How can I give her money without her knowing it was me? I don’t want her to feel like she has to pay me back either.

2,308 | 15ig3v7_juua7wn | null | juua7wn | Yeah so someone was squatting in my RV when it was supposed to be in storage. Some homeless guy was living in it. Because of squatting rights this went on over a year. Its now ready for me to be picked up but I heard its in bad shape. Leaks, mold, keys missing. I do not want this thing back I'm sure it smells like shit and has bed bugs or something.
After I pick it up insurance is going to come look at it. It's been off the grid and undocumented but I don't know what I'm going to encounter. It may be totaled already but maybe its just dirty. What can I do to make sure it gets totaled before insurance gets there? Bad smells? It's under 10 grand so I don't think it would take much.
Edit: Comprehensive insurance covers "damages" not mechanical stuff wrong with the vehicle.

My bfs parents old neighbors put a restraining order on their other son because they were uncomfortable with his diagnosed schizophrenia (he’s non violent but loved to walk the court at night and sometimes would roam near their front yard, but never bothered anything or them) He also has Asperger’s as well. So he’s very awkward in social situations. But he’s a very nice guy and loves people. Because of the restraining order (it was granted for “stalking” the neighbors, they have family in the judicial system as well) he was forced out of his home with his parents and they had to pay for an apartment for him for about two years. After the second year they still refused to drop the restraining order the last court hearing they said they believed he was armed and dangerous. Which is complete bullspit. He’s afraid of guns. So my bfs mom had just had enough and was tired of spending so much on an apartment (plus brother said even if RO was dropped he wouldn’t feel comfortable ever living there again) she sold her home that was completely paid off and went in debt close to her and her husband retiring, so she could have her disabled son back in her home with her. But the neighbors on their moving day brought out chairs and watched them move laughing with literal popcorn. They also nana nana boo bood them anytime they seen them outside after the judge upheld the restraining order. We’re talking about an older couple in their early 50’s. Too old to be acting in such a way. They’re sick. I need some things that we can do or put in their yard that is not illegal and wouldn’t be vandalism or something to their cars or fence or whatever.

13 | 1cec75b_l1hzhq8 | null | l1hzhq8 | (For context, we have been together for about 9-10 months)
- My partner (22M) got upset at me (NB-19) just now over the fact that I was reading a book while he was playing video games that happened to be a bit smutty. He was upset because according to him it was insensitive and “weird asf” that I was being horny and reading smut right next to him when he is in a sexual low. I said it was okay and that I get it, but I also said that I didn’t feel like I should have to completely suppress the fact that I am in a sexual high right now. He said that if he’s able to read something sexual without getting turned on, I should be able to as well? I don’t know, I’ve never been one to be able to read something like that WITHOUT getting turned on. I told him that it wasn’t about him, and that its not like I was trying to seduce him or tell him about it or anything, I didn’t want to involve him because I KNOW that he is in a sexual low, but HE was the one who turned over and absolutely demanded that he must see whatever I had been reading- he pretended to end the conversation as we were smoking on the balcony, telling me “ok you’re being annoying and insensitive so i’m not talking to you”, probably expecting me to come chasing him as he angrily walked back inside- but I stayed sitting out in the balcony and closed the door behind him, sitting back down to breathe and ground myself for a minute because his tones in these moments trigger the hell outta me. Big surprise, he came back instantly and said “are you seriously just gonna be like that and sit here? get inside” to which I said “Well you said you didn’t want to talk to me, so I am sitting out here because I don’t want to be in a room with you when you’re being like this”. He knows I hate when he calls me names like annoying or anything. During that conversation he said I was being a 1. Dick and 2. a Cunt. So no, I didn’t wanna deal with him running off for me to chase after him just to get called more names. But nonetheless, he demanded over and over that I stop and come inside, so I obliged simply cause I didn’t want to get called more names for wanting to take a breather and some space. We came inside, and he continued the conversation, so I did too. I tried to explain my side, about the fact that I felt like it was unfair for me to completely shut off my sexuality just because he doesn’t want it right now. Because honestly, self pleasuring is healthy! and I feel like there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, and spouses shouldn’t take issue with it. I said that I wasn’t involving him so that he WASNT uncomfortable, and that it simply WASNT. ABOUT. HIM. he continued to say that everything he was saying was just going right over my head and that I didn’t get it and I was being insensitive and all that. I apologized for coming off as insensitive, as it wasn’t my intention. I also said that I understood being uncomfortable, but that it felt a little… I don’t know, hard I guess. He said that it was fucked up of me to not care. and then continued to say that whenever he’s uncomfortable with something I simply never give a fuck. Which is extremely untrue. I always make sure to validate him and say it’s okay to feel how he’s feeling. I always make sure to hear him out. I guess it’s wrong of me to want the same in return when I go to explain my perspective and point of view on it, which I am also apparently not allowed to do. I understand I suppose if it makes him uncomfortable. and I feel badly about it. Guilty as hell. he said that partners are supposed to abide by the other partner if they are uncomfortable with absolutely anything. but I guess something just keeps telling me that I am allowed to embrace my sexuality, and that it feels a little controlling that I apparently have no rights to that side of my body or mind at all, cause it’s coming off like only he does. I don’t know lol. I just feel a little crazy. He said that I was just guilttripping him the entire time. Was I? I wasn’t trying to. I guess it just felt like a little invasion of my independence. It’s not like i’m cheating on him or pressuring him to have sex with me :/ I try so hard to make him comfortable- but this just feels wrong to me. Maybe I should have reacted differently? I know he said I was being insensitive but I feel like he just refuses to accept that I we can have two different perspectives and opinions without me immediately no matter the situation being deemed as “fucked up” or a “bad person”, as he tells me.
Appreciate any kind of perspectives I can get to kind of better wrap my mind around this situation. <3 | Should I be allowed to self pleasure even if my partner is in a low sex drive? | 1cec75b | [

Because honestly, self pleasuring is healthy! and I feel like there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, and spouses shouldn’t take issue with it. I said that I wasn’t involving him so that he WASNT uncomfortable, and that it simply WASNT. ABOUT. HIM. he continued to say that everything he was saying was just going right over my head and that I didn’t get it and I was being insensitive and all that. I apologized for coming off as insensitive, as it wasn’t my intention. I also said that I understood being uncomfortable, but that it felt a little… I don’t know, hard I guess. He said that it was fucked up of me to not care. and then continued to say that whenever he’s uncomfortable with something I simply never give a fuck. Which is extremely untrue. I always make sure to validate him and say it’s okay to feel how he’s feeling. I always make sure to hear him out. I guess it’s wrong of me to want the same in return when I go to explain my perspective and point of view on it, which I am also apparently not allowed to do. I understand I suppose if it makes him uncomfortable. and I feel badly about it. Guilty as hell. he said that partners are supposed to abide by the other partner if they are uncomfortable with absolutely anything. but I guess something just keeps telling me that I am allowed to embrace my sexuality, and that it feels a little controlling that I apparently have no rights to that side of my body or mind at all, cause it’s coming off like only he does. I don’t know lol. I just feel a little crazy. He said that I was just guilttripping him the entire time. Was I? I wasn’t trying to. I guess it just felt like a little invasion of my independence. It’s not like i’m cheating on him or pressuring him to have sex with me :/ I try so hard to make him comfortable- but this just feels wrong to me. Maybe I should have reacted differently? I know he said I was being insensitive but I feel like he just refuses to accept that I we can have two different perspectives and opinions without me immediately no matter the situation being deemed as “fucked up” or a “bad person”, as he tells me.\n\nAppreciate any kind of perspectives I can get to kind of better wrap my mind around this situation. <3"

He stuck his finger deep inside me, because he tricked me and said he wanted to show me the “cool view out his window” I can’t remember what happened after that.

I just want to see my medical paperwork to figure out what happened to me. I really feel like there’s more to the story than an “innocent uti” considering I was forced to do psychological therapy (that my mom claims was "free") right after by my pediatrician.

1,276 | 13o6tfy_jl2zq80 | null | jl2zq80 | I (16) just got back from spending the night at a friends and was in my room re-organizing when my dad yells from the bathroom “a/n what were you washing in the sink”. I replied “nothing today, I just got home and haven’t even used the washroom” he lets out this big exasperated sigh and screams at my sister (13) to come downstairs. She asks her the same question to which she responds “nothing, I haven’t been in the bathroom today”. He starts screaming in response about how “well there’s red shit in the sink and it wasn’t there this morning so it was one of you” then says “fine since someone’s always fucking lying, no one’s showering in here or using this bathroom anymore. You can go to the gas station or use the hose in the backyard”. He then proceeds to throw our towels, razors, etc. onto the ground.
What do I do? He goes through stints like this all the time but he’s always stubborn on the stance he takes and can last anywhere from a week to a month. I can’t just not brush my teeth, use the toilet, or shower until he decides to grow up.
I’m not sure how much help you can give me but any advice would be appreciated
UPDATE: my dad and mom have come to a solution for now where my sister will shower in my mum bathroom upstairs and I will have to shower in my dads bathroom downstairs. This seems fine, aside from the fact my dad is a raging narcissist with anger issues meaning he’ll be looking for any reason to take away my bathroom privileges. Any mess up HE makes, he’ll blame on me. He’s already yelled at me multiple time simply due to the fact my hair gets in the drain when I wash my hair.
UPDATE 2: y’all aren’t going to believe me…my sister and I went out to watch some fireworks on our street and she revealed to me our mother left the staining in the sink. Apparently my sister was upstairs with my mum during his shouting match and once he finished banishing my sister and I from the bathroom and left the room my mum dropped a little “oops-“ and a giggle indicating it was her who left the stain and just didn’t bother owning up to it so my sister and I could take the blame.

11 | 1cipamz_l2bzody | null | l2bzody | I (26M) live with my friend (29M) in a condo which has a big shared parking lot for all the residents.
Each unit gets 1 numbered parking spot to share, and for any additional vehicles you need to park in a "guest" spot. The problem is there are only like 5 total guest spots and they always fill up fast.
Then about 14 months ago my neighbor who I have always hated for a variety of other reasons decides to park not one but 2 shitty old beaters in two of the closest guest spots to our building.
The entire building has complained and asked her to move them, but there is nothing we can legally do since they are marked as guest spots and there is no parking limit posted. We have involved everyone from the tow company to the property manager and no one will help.
It has gotten so bad that people have started leaving notes, throwing eggs at the cars, leaving garbage on the hoods, popping tires, breaking side view mirrors etc. all to try and get this lady to move her piece of crap cars somewhere else.
She clearly doesn't give a shit about the cars and has told verbatim straight to me face that she is doing it out of spite and will keep the cars in those spots "until her dying breath."
Does anyone have any ideas how I can fuck with her or hopefully convince her to move her cars? Don't really give a shit if its legal or not I'm at my wits end...

Sarah and I are half sisters by our father who is an addict, con artist, narcissist, manipulator- absolutely worthless human. I know our father and spent time with him growing up, Sarah did not- he was in her life until she was 3. Sarah’s mother is also a junkie and POS so Sarah lives with her Aunt and Uncle and other sister who is 11.
I was in Sarah’s life up until she was about 3 but we never lived together. It was weekend visits then we didn’t see each other for years. About two years ago I reached out to her aunt to see how she was and I saw both Sarah and my other half sister and it was nice but awkward and that was really it. Sarah then was 11 and got a phone and found me on snapchat and we started talking which was nice but it was also hard to form a relationship because so much time had passed and the age difference ultimately, but I continued. She asked me questions about our dad and it didn’t seem like she knew anything and I wasn’t going to explain he’s an awful person because it’s not my place so I just said I knew him but our time wasn’t worthwhile and that made her mad. Fast forward a year she’s
now 12 we had spent a day together which was nice but she is rude to me and dismissive and thinks she’s very cool. I get it’s the age but I also don’t want to be treated poorly. She also makes fun of her sister to me and in front of her and I don’t think it’s funny. Go forward a few months she’s posting all this concerning stuff on snapchat that is depressing and remincising on “old times” (she’s 12, what old times) but I reached out to her Aunt because I was concerned for her and Sarah did not want to talk to me about it which is fine. Her aunt spoke with her and never said it was me who said anything but Sarah started treating me awful like I was disposable and I always was the adult in the situation. It was honestly a lot for me to open up this side of my life again too after how traumatic my childhood was with my father and the times I spent with him but I didn’t want to punish kids and not see them because of him.
Sarah got her phone taken away after her behavior towards me and her Aunt over the snapchat story ordeal. (Aunt also informed me that she is a bully and always wants attention) I didn’t hear from her for months and just a few weeks ago she contacted me again apologizing. I accepted it, but she immediately started treating me bad again- she acts like I’m disposable, will say rude things to me, ignore me, block/unblock me (childish stuff I honestly don’t have time for). I don’t know how to have a relationship with someone who just turned 13. I thought for awhile and figured we could have a more beneficial relationship in a year or two when she has matured because this whole thing has really affected me because I am twisting myself a million ways to get a kid to like me and create a relationship that she supposedly wants so bad as well. I said to Sarah- I have a lot going on in my life right now and I feel like I cannot be there for you and your sister in the way you two deserve right now (I took blame even though it’s her actions) and maybe our relationship could be better in some time. She did not take this well and told me we could have no relationship then and then I felt extremely bad because I didn’t know what to do- she’s just a kid ultimately but I am trying so hard to maintain anything with her. She eventually came around and apologized to me and admitted she hasn’t treated me well and I forgave her and said let’s just wipe the slate clean. What do you all think happened two days later?

But mostly she's probably afraid of being ditched again, so she's going to hurt you before you can hurt her. However... She also needs to learn boundaries, the way you treat people matters and what you are willing to tolerate. If she treats you poorly on the phone you can say I won't tolerate you speaking to me this way, when you're ready for a sincere apology I'm ready to talk . If she follows up with a sarcastic apology tell her she needs sometime to really think about for what she is apologizing. When there is bad vibes cut em out right there and then. You could be out to lunch. Call over the server pay the bill bring her home. She won't feel abandoned, and she's held accountable.

605 | 1boii07_kwp9sko | null | kwp9sko | My husband to be (25M) has always been a very caring and devoted person to both me (29F) and our daughter (5F). He does a lot for us and up until this point has made us the centre of his world. We have been together for 7 years and he rarely drinks and has gone on nights out with his friends without me a total of about 5 times during our entire relationship. Him not going on nights out without me has nothing to do with me at all, I am happy for him to go out and have fun with his friends but he insists nights out without me aren’t as fun for him.
5 weeks ago he went on a weekend away to Amsterdam for his stag party. When he left to go on the trip he was checking in with me regularly, telling me what they were doing and how things were going. My dad and my best friend of 27 years were among the group of guys that went with him but besides that I had absolutely no doubt in my mind that he would do anything because he just never seemed to be that kind of person. However, after a few hours of texting me the first day he got there, communication stopped. I didn’t mind this as he was on his stag enjoying himself and I didn’t expect him to text me the entire time he was there.
The following day he checked in a couple of times and that was it. That night I had the worst feeling in my gut and I checked his location on snap maps and he had turned his location off but his last known location was the red light district. My heart sank but I didn’t want to jump to conclusions. I text him to ask him if he would let me know when he got back to the hotel so that I could get to sleep as I was worried and wanted to make sure he got back ok. What I received was the most disgusting vile responses I have ever seen from anyone let alone my partner. He attacked me with text after text saying I was ruining his night and could I not just f**k off and let him enjoy his night with his friends, he would remember this and he would return the favour by f**cking up my hen weekend for me the following weekend. I didn’t know who this man was and I cried myself to sleep that night.
The following day he was coming home and I hadn’t heard a thing from him until he arrived that evening. When he got home he didn’t even say hello to neither me nor our daughter and just sat there stuck to his phone for hours. I asked him what had happened over the weekend and he kept insisting nothing happened. I told him I saw he turned his location off in the red light district and once again he went on the defensive saying he didn’t do anything and he wasn’t going to be accused when he did nothing wrong.
The following morning he woke me up saying he was ready to try for another baby and was kissing me with so much love and affection and I was a bit taken aback because it was so different from the person he was the previous days. One thing led to another and we had sex.
For the days proceeding I just couldn’t shake the feeling something happened and kept trying to get some information from him but he kept denying and getting angry about it. I know I shouldn’t have but I went through his phone and saw a text from tinder with a verification code from the Friday night which was the first night of his stag. I woke him up and confronted him about it and he once again denied being on tinder until I showed him the message as proof and he then said he downloaded it but didn’t use it. This didn’t sit well with me at all and we argued for days. Eventually, the night before I was due to leave to go on my own trip for my hen party, I told him that I knew something happened and it was his chance to admit it. He then admitted they went to a peep show but that he thought it was weird. With more pushing he then admitted he went into a prostitute but swore he didn’t do anything and wasn’t able to bring himself to do anything that he just walked out. Further pushing and he eventually admitted he slept with the prostitute.
I am absolutely devastated. I can’t explain the hurt I am feeling about this betrayal. He has admitted he waited until my dad and best friend went back to the hotel and another one of his friends paid for him to sleep with the prostitute. This “friend” is also supposed to be a groomsman at our wedding.
I am so completely confused. On one hand this is so completely out of character for him so I want to forgive him and go ahead with the wedding but on the other hand I absolutely hate him for doing this and don’t know if I can forgive him. We are due to get married next week and I still don’t know what to do. On top of the hurt of him cheating to begin with I am also dealing with the fact he has ruined an entire once in a lifetime experience for me. He ruined my hen, he had ruined the lead up to the wedding as I am supposed to be so excited but instead I am absolutely heartbroken and he has possibly ruined the wedding itself too. I don’t know how I can look this man in the eye and take his vows seriously when he has already broken them.
He is incredibly remorseful and is fighting tooth and nail to do everything he can for me and our daughter but I am so unbelievably broken.
Has anyone had similar experience? Did you forgive and try to move on with eachother? Did it work out? Am I setting myself up for a life of misery if I marry this man? Please please help me wrap my head around all of this.
TLDR husband to be had a personality change on his stag weekend and slept with a prostitute. We are due to get married next week, I don’t know what to do.

All he does all day is smoke weed and drive his car while ignoring his twin newborn sons and partner (she sucks too but knows how to behave in public).
He flies through the neighborhood and street races with his friends constantly. I’ve seen the videos and he will 100% kill someone one day. His mom is a total enabler and won’t deal with her shitty son. Recently the police seem to have noticed because he’s been alluding the police, but his car is really fast and he uses fake plates.

331 | 1b98qp4_ktv640h | null | ktv640h | So I (34m) have been seeing this woman (29f) for like a month, we met online and hit it off, she lives in the next city over and we’ve seen each other every weekend for the past four weeks or so and message every day.
For context I’ve been single for about 2 years after my partner of ten years decided to leave and return to her country of origin, and I’m not gunna lie it fucked me up and I’ve struggled with women since then.
Anyways me and this woman have hit it off pretty well, we get on she’s really easy to be around, we laugh, the chat is good, the sex is good, everything’s good.. the only issue was my trauma, she’s also from another country originally and I’ve been struggling with the idea that if I get too attached she might leave like the last one and break me again, but I decided to push through it because we clicked.
Then last weekend she told me she has herpes, we’ve always used a condom and it isn’t active/she hasn’t had a flare up since she caught it 2 years ago, so I’m not worried that I’ve caught it. However, it has seriously thrown me, when she told me I said I didn’t mind because I didn’t want that to ruin what seemed to be developing between us, but now that I’ve had a few days to think it over I don’t know what to do. I like her, I haven’t felt that at ease and open with anyone for a long time, and I want to try to move on with my life and meet someone new to make a family etc..
But I don’t want herpes, and the idea that I could never have unprotected sex with her (meaning no kids which I have always wanted) is a major problem for me. Even worse is the idea that she could give me herpes and then leave me broken and infected with a lifelong disease. It’s been really tough getting myself out there and meeting new people and it would be 100 times harder with herpes..
I’m looking for advice, what would other people do? would this be a dealbreaker for others? And if I do decide to leave it here, how do I end it in a way that she won’t feel tainted or disgusting, she’s lovely and the circumstances of her catching it are really unfortunate, I don’t want to hurt her or make her feel worthless. | Really hit it off with a girl and then found out she has herpes | 1b98qp4 | [

654 | 1c9skgh_l0njni8 | null | l0njni8 | Yes, I'm an adult. And yes, I feel as embarassed as this post title sounds so this is a throwaway account.
It started three years ago when I set up a small business. My niece began to make cheeky remarks about the job that I do (it's nothing particularly interesting, strange or funny). At first, I approached this with humor even though I found some of the comments grating. I then started ignoring some of the ruder remarks, hoping that not paying attention to the rudeness would make it stop. I thought she would run out of steam eventually but the comments kept coming and became more mocking. I tried to have a conversation with her about this but it carried on.
She then began to email me through my website. Obviously I guessed it was her and I asked her to stop because I was trying to collect data on website visitors for my business plan. The emails stopped but the website visits continued which messed up the analytics. Around the same time, my niece began to shout stuff at me in the street e.g. "Look, there she goes, the (my professional title). I found this embarassing, especially when she would encourage other children to do this. Again, I asked her to stop this. It turned into pointing and snickering instead.
I have heard her make comments about my weight (I'm of average weight), my clothes (pretty normal) and my appearance. My own child has called her out on this and asked her to stop. My partner invited my niece for a sleepover and she deliberately walked into my bedroom while I was in my underwear after I had asked her not to come into my room. I lost my temper at that point. Her response was to laugh in my face and I sent her straight home.
The latest thing is to poke fun at a particular phobia that I have. She will begin talking about it to other family members in front of me while side-eyeing me to gauge my reaction. To anyone else, it looks like nothing but my niece knows about this phobia and I know she is talking about it on purpose. She even took the piss out of a close friend of mine dying which is absolutely the final straw for me.
I'm at a loss on how to handle this now. It's honestly relentless because we live very nearby and so I see my niece in the street pretty much every day. And it happens EVERY time. Hundreds and hundreds of times, no exaggeration. It's really brought me down and I feel like I have tried almost everything to stop this.
I feel so stupid and powerless because I feel bullied by a literal child. Her parents are aware of it but it's massively downplayed within the family. There have also been issues with my niece lying and bullying other children at school. Again, this is downplayed.
I don't understand why this began happening and why it hasn't stopped. I have been close to my niece in the past and we had lots of fun together when she was little. I have tried talking to my partner but they tell me that she's just a child who doesn't know what she's saying. I disagree to an extent because my niece knows what she's saying and what she says feels like it has hurtful intentions. I know she's a young child who is pushing boundaries but this has become way too much and gone on for way too long. Any advice or similar experience would be very greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Thank you for the responses - it's helpful to get some alternative views! To answer some questions:
1) My business is in the medical field. It has grown a lot since I set up. I'm very direct and focused at work and good at my job, but I struggle with family relations. My partner's family is chaos.
2) My niece is my in-laws' child. My partner recognises that there is something not right but gets defensive about their family. My niece is the 'golden child' of the family and is given much more attention than the other children.
3) As some of you have rightfully pointed out, her parents are worse than useless. Speaking to them has not worked and I keep my distance from them. I used to feel very sorry for my niece. She didn't choose to have shitty parents BUT she is choosing to behave like this towards me. If she was my bio kid, there would be serious consequences and punishment but her parents do nothing. I'm extremely concerned about behaviour towards kids at school too(school are dealing with this).
4) Nothing bad has happened between me and my niece. I've been in therapy for a long time (no mental health issues - it's healthy to have a space to talk) and I've reflected on this situation and myself with my therapist for months now. If I had done something, either me or my therapist would have worked it out. Even he is confused by it all.

One of our assignments that counts for a significant portion of our final mark is an online discussion forum with the other students. It's hard to explain, but it's basically a series of mini essays (about 400 words each) where we discuss a topic with one another.
For one of my posts, I spent ages summarising and rewriting a complicated study into plain English and in my own words.
That evening, I noticed that another student had used the same study as me and his wording was almost identical to mine. It seems like he may have simply copied mine, changed the odd word, and then pasted it into the forum.
I thought it could be a coincidence, until I saw his source list. He had directly copied and pasted that too! I know this because I did the actual work on the 18th, which means I listed the access date of the sources as the 18th. It was late at night by the time I finished but I hadn't had time to check my grammar, so I only ended up posting it the next day (on the 19th). His post was added as a response to mine, yet his source access date also said 18 October. He hadn't bothered to change it. He also included another source in his reference list that I had used, but he hadn't. This tells me that he simply copied and pasted without bothering to change anything.
I'm no snitch, but I don't want to get into trouble for it. There are time stamps, so hopefully the lecturer sees mine was first.

27 | 1c9l8ju_l0md57l | null | l0md57l | My yard backs up to the neighbors' yard and we have no fence. Their pool birdcage is two feet from my yard. Let's call the neighbors Charlie and Amy.
Yesterday before leaving my house I took my dog out. I was shocked to see my entire neighborhood at a pool party. I walked my dog along the edge of my yard as I always do. Thus, someone from the pool says hi. I smile and say hi back. A female very loudly says 'Oh My God'. I suspect the 'OMG' was from someone noticing Amy did not invite us \*yet again\*.
As I'm walking into my house, Amy shouts my name repeatedly and asks me to come to the bird cage to talk. All conversation at that party stopped, woopsie. Yes, public drama occurred from Amy and all knew why. When I walk over, Amy quietly asks 'did you get my invitation'. I say no. Fortunately I don't think anyone else heard this.
Her exact words: 'I meant to tell you about this yesterday but I forgot'. As it turns out, everyone else was told the day before. My invitation arrived a few minutes before the party and I didn't see it. At this point the party has been going on for two hours and I have my golf attire on for a tee time.
Amy does invite us sometimes, sometimes not. One night during a party to which we weren't included, a guest who saw me through my window light asked Amy why I wasn't there. Amy then texted me an invitation during the party, at almost 9:00 pm. I had zero idea a party was happening. I saw the text the next morning
I will always be tactful towards Chuck and Amy and they have even mentioned my constant tact. I gave their builder full access to my yard for an entire year as the pool and birdcage were getting built
Here is my question. Amy regularly tells me - anytime you see we are having a party, come over.
How do I respond to this? We don't watch their yard for parties. And sometimes they only have family over - or just one couple- so I KNOW they don't want me popping over then. I do not want to use binoculars to decipher who is at their house in order to determine if I should go there lol. Bottom line - when I don't make their invitation list like the rest of the \*\*entire\*\* neighborhood, she doesn't want me there, she won't miss me and I certainly won't miss a thing.
When Amy says 'if you see we are having a party, just come over'... I could just say "Thanks, but we don't watch the pool closely enough"
Other ideas on what I could say? Something maybe a bit clever, but very tactful.

Hi all, recently a friend of mine was sexually assaulted while at work by someone who comes in semi regularly, this has become a police matter (UK) but I want to make sure he gets what he deserves
So far the police are doing a good job working with us but I’m concerned there may not be enough hard evidence, there are a few witnesses and potentially DNA
Now as for the creep:
I currently only know his first name, but the workplace is going to tell us more details, I think I will be able to get his full name and maybe address.
The creep has a wife and (assumingly adult) kids, I’d love to know the best way to anonymously fill them in on what has happened.
He is also planning to move to the Middle East in a few months, I think it would be in the country’s best interest to find out about his behaviours and reconsider the work visa (or equivalent)
I would also like to cause as much damage for him here, I want to find out where he currently works, let them know.
Any other ideas would be very much appreciated. I’d prefer to remain anonymous with anything I do since this is a police matter, but one again I want to fuck up his life more than they can.

1,404 | 192u9ly_kh4wqjd | null | kh4wqjd | I'm genuinely so anxious about this. An older man next to me is connecting to Thailand to meet a girl he met online. Sounds suspicious, but, totally possible. I have family that met their wife online abroad and all are happy.
But then he showed me a picture of her 30 year old daughter. It's AI art, I am 100% sure. Like not great AI art.
He's mentioned not having great vision. It's his first time leaving the country. He didn't even realize the flight was gonna be 14 hours (he said like 5, because of the time change). He joked I burst his bubble when I told him it was like 14.
I doubt if I say anything he would listen. Maybe I'm wrong. I feel like I should tell him that I find that photo suspicious and just if anything feels off at some point, listen to that instinct.
Is there a common scam? Is he in serious danger? Should I say anything?
Update:
I talked more with the man and it sounded less suspicious as we talked and more like a green card play than anything. He's never sent her money, he only paid for his flight, not the accommodations, etc.
He wasn't like some old grandpa, he was about 60. Not great with his phone, but not the type to fall for a social security scam level of naive.
I did point out the red flags I saw and showed him how to download the Bangkok map offline to his phone and write down the embassy number. I also explained some common scams to watch out for.
His family and friends knew about the trip.
I jotted down his flight info and got his phone number. I passed on most of the details to the US embassy in Thailand and Human Trafficking tip line. Both acknowledged, but aren't gonna share much more with me. | Sitting next to someone on a flight flying to a scam; what do I say? | 192u9ly | [

77 | 1ceflve_l1j5bt0 | null | l1j5bt0 | I (50m) recently started a relationship with my oldest friend. We are both coming off of Long term relationships she was married for 30 years and I was for 16. We hadnt talked much over the last 10 years but started getting serious with each other about 4 months ago. She asked me to get tested and I happily obliged as I had been tested before I was married and I have never cheated. I cant say the same for my ex as she gave me HSV 1 and 2. Yes the gift that keeps on Giving. I told My friend about it as soon as I got the results Knowing that our new relationship was probably doomed.
​
She surprised me when she decided that intimacy was more important than intercourse and we could find ways around it and still please each other. This has been the case for the last month, and it has been amazing.
​
Yesterday she went to have her yearly physical and spoke with her DR about it . Her Dr told her that we had taken all of the correct precautions. ie. no contact without protection, I have been on a viral suppressant since I recieved my diagnosis we dont kiss on the lips or and oral is with either a condom or dental dam. Her DR. told her that due to the fact that I was honest and didnt try and hide anything and That we were responsible and were cautious. That her risk factor even with intercourse is minimal.
​
At first I was ecstatic as this is a dream come true ( i didnt mention that I have been at least a little in love with her since grade school). But now I am having second thoughts. We both want this. She knows the risks and has weighed her options and has asked me for this. I promised I never would ask.
Am I being selfish if We do this because I want it so bad. I know the risk is low but it isnt zero. Do I just accept that she is a grown woman who has made her decision and has accepted the risks involved. I love her to much to want to hurt her, But I also love her enough to want to give her what she needs ?

I still think about my dad every single day, and it still hurts. Pls make sure you have someone to talk to. I had no one I could talk to about the situation, so I wasn’t fully able to cope. This caused me to have lots of mental conditions today that I’m still trying to solve. (But no shame, mental conditions don’t make anyone “crazy”. They’re just a part of life). Cry as much as you need to. Scream, get angry, get the emotions out. DO NOT let them sit inside and dwell. Do whatever you can to express the emotions, bec that’s a huge part of healing. And, most importantly, go see a therapist if you think you need to. For YEARS I felt ashamed for thinking I needed a therapist, but as soon as I started going, I felt like things fell into place. There’s no shame in taking care of your mental health, and after all, you’ve been through something very tough. DM me if you ever need to talk, or have any specific questions.

10 | 1cmditf_l30pvbk | null | l30pvbk | My spouse and I have a small child, and he’s one of the only small children on both sides, so there sometimes seems like there isn’t enough of him to go around. Everybody wants to be extremely involved. I feel quite suffocated lately.
For context, I do not have any family around us besides a very close friend and a brother. My spouse’s whole family lives close by.
We had a trip planned to go to an amusement park a couple hours away with my spouse’s sister who doesn’t get to spend a whole lot of quality time with our son. I would also say she’s probably our favorite person on either side of family to hang out with as she’s very easy going and just fun to be around. Upon hearing about this trip, my friend mentioned how much she’d like to go. I had made a comment that we really wouldn’t have enough room in the car for another adult, and she said no problem she would drive herself. I was not anticipating this as she doesn’t like to drive and it is a couple hours away. I felt a little caught off guard, so I went along with it and told her the date.

My spouse and I have a small child, and he’s one of the only small children on both sides, so there sometimes seems like there isn’t enough of him to go around. Everybody wants to be extremely involved. I feel quite suffocated lately.\nFor context, I do not have any family around us besides a very close friend and a brother. My spouse’s whole family lives close by.\nWe had a trip planned to go to an amusement park a couple hours away with my spouse’s sister who doesn’t get to spend a whole lot of quality time with our son. I would also say she’s probably our favorite person on either side of family to hang out with as she’s very easy going and just fun to be around. Upon hearing about this trip, my friend mentioned how much she’d like to go. I had made a comment that we really wouldn’t have enough room in the car for another adult, and she said no problem she would drive herself. I was not anticipating this as she doesn’t like to drive and it is a couple hours away. I felt a little caught off guard, so I went along with it and told her the date.

Me and my partner have been together for almost a year now and he (27 M) tested positive for gonorrhea while we were on my (20 F) birthday vacation together. He told me his ex gave it to him in the past before and said it’s a reoccurring thing now. I don’t believe him but I also don’t believe he would cheat on me at the same time. I’m confused and conflicted about what to do.
I’m not having any symptoms myself but I am going to go get tested officially this week.
If anyone has any advice or knowledge on if what he’s saying is true please tell me.
Thank y’all
Edit: he cheated
Edit 2: so I listened to yall and my gut so I went through his phone. He’s been on dating apps and was having sex with other women AND men without condoms. I just left the dr today and should get my results on Friday.
I packed all my things and left him that very night. He stayed I was crazy and overreacting. He also asked me everyday of the trip if we could find a girl to “have fun with”
And to answer some of yalls questions. I have not been having symptoms. And he told me about the possibility of him having it before our trip but I thought it was just a urethra infection. He got conformation while we were on vacation from his dr. 6 hours away from home. I left him the night we came back.

He has done inappropriate things to me before but ive tried to write it off. Like the time i had a cat on my lap and he kept touching/ gracing my genitals while petting the cat, despite me wiggling away and trying to slightly reposition myself. Or that time we were alone in the house (we bothe live with our parents) sitting in the livingroom on diffrent couches and i relized that he had his dick out and was just casually touching it?
Is this normal behaviour and am i just overreacting? I feel super dirty and ashamed about the situation and dont know what to do. I would like to just ignore it but i feel like hes escalating his beaviour and i dont want it to get worse.

This is about stopping things before they get to a point where he creates a secret that would rip your family apart. Either you talk to a grownup you trust like mom, dad, granny or aunt or any other adult that you trust to stop him or you are going to tell him yourself, depending on your relationship. Make it clear to him that you would not keep his secret. You could for example talk to your mom and say that you think he is sleepwalking because you woke up with him in your room and then you just tell her the truth or tone it down if you intend to confront him yourself about the dick-out part. He needs to understand that whatever close your relationship you have as twins you are not characters in Game of Thrones and you will not play the role of silent partner in whatever twisted game he's got going on in his mind.

113 | 1cnuxa6_l39oesf | null | l39oesf | Eleven years ago, I met Cassie on Tinder, back when it was new and everyone was on it. She was in college at the time, 19 years young but sexually experienced by her own admission. We hooked up a total of 4 times before I never heard from her again.
Now I own my own business. I interviewed her 2 weeks ago and instantly thought that she reminded me of that girl. The college and year of graduation matched, as did the name. She looked very different though. Hair was shorter, dark and curly, as opposed to the long straight blonde she had then. Her eyebrows looked different. She wore glasses, unlike then. She had lost weight, and her face was barely recognizable. I thought it probably wasn't really her, especially since she showed no sign of recognizing me.
Yesterday though, I became convinced this was definitely Cassie from eleven years ago. I remembered she frequently used the term "cow sized" to refer to something being huge. I heard her use the phrase a couple times at work (as in a cow sized stack of papers) and knew it had to be her.
Now I'm wondering if I should say anything to her. She had a plan back then to move to California which clearly never ended up happening. She told me back then she hoped to find a husband by age 25, but I don't see any ring on her finger. I want to talk to her and find out more about her life since I saw her 11 years ago, but I imagine she might either not recognize me (and be disturbed if she realized who I am) or she might just hope I don't recognize her.
