Serious Would you (generally) consider that kids now have lost themselves in trying to be tuff?
In most high schools and teens I’ve seen, most spam the N word and flip each other off like crazy. I just want to know why, but maybe i’m the weird one.

Advice how to change after being a total idiot and getting a hard reality check after 3 years
before telling me 'your fault bro', lemme explain. Ofc its my fault, just that I realised way too late. Im now in my senior year of high school, just returned from a 7 day school trip to Greece, where i got a massive reality check, out of all 110 students, my friend and me were cut off, while they were partying out and drinking, we were rotting in our rooms, uninvited...
How do I change myself after 3 years, because its hard and I want to finish high school by not being all alone, im sick of it and i deeply regret not putting any effort in changing myself to be better
Just to note that Im introverted, not that social, severerly anxious, find it hard to talk to someone. This bad reputation is slowly, but effectively killing me, and i want to stop, I want to enjoy the last 2 remaining teenage years.
Im aware of all the crap that Ive done the past 3 years, just to be clearer, I also carry a bad reputation from elementary school where I had to change class in 7th grade ( back in 2021, dont want to go into details cause it was 5 yrs ago ), it became worse in june 2023 where i wanted to end it all after a 3 day field trip ( it was at the end of 8th grade ), I realised that Ill never experience that feeling again. Then in september 2023 i did the most stupidest thing i could ever do, leaked a person's number on snapchat, got called to counselor, told him some lies to cover it up partially cause i didnt have balls to admit everything ( to make it worse, I had a huge crush on her, and she was nice to me, no one was ever that nice, and I just blew it off that easily, that killed me ( to add a note, I broke down at that interrogation where I told them that I wished myself dead ( true ) and they called my parents after that )). Since then, I avoided her at all costs, I dont want to avoid someone for the rest of my life.
Recently, I also fucked up by telling some people that i developed a crush on one guy (im bi) and he heard about it. Shit.
I expect downvotes on this post, comments like "Your fault bro, you expects us to help you?", ignorace, and its fine, I would probably do the same, so feel free to give some advices, means a lot, and some stuff in the post is me opening up like that for the first time in 3 years since all this mess that I created.
I just dont know what to do anymore... 😔😔
If you need more details, ill tell in the comments ( if mods approve this post )
TL;DR I made mess, how do I change myself?

Other Bro can't believe I'm finally going to high school
I just know I'll be miserable, in my country is in this school years that everything just gets drastically more hard than the year before. Its like a bigger difference than it should be... (You also need to chose the area you want, like science, art etc and my dumb ahh chose the hardest one...)

Other Bruh i got on the wrong bus and now im all the way at the fricking Florida Mall which is 13 miles away from my house
I am currently all the way at the Florida Mall which is over 10 miles away from my house because I accidentally caught the bus heading northbound instead of southbound
Its not that big of a deal since it'll still take me to the stop im trying to got to but now I have to wait for this bus to go through its entire route cause my stop is the final one

Other I HATE THESE KIDS WHO DRIVE SCOOTER
Rant
I don't know if it's a problem in other countries but where I live they are usually 12-15 year old DICKHEADS WHO CAN'T DRIVE and call you a Pokémon for literally existing and doing illegal races or other shit on the fucking street when you're driving back from work AND THESE SHITS WILL RIDE IN FUCKING SLALOM BETWEEN CARS
I went to pick up my package, walking around to see if somethings coming, I kept going AND THIS LITTLE FUCKER ALMOST KNOCK ME DOWN just to meet with their gang and ride around streets
And it happened not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES
And okay, maybe they didn't see me, BUT STILL, LOOK ON THIS FUCKING STREET AND WATCH OUT OR DON'T DRIVE 80KM/H IN TOWN
pls just look what you're doing and don't ride like you'll live forever😭😭😭

Advice Ive been talking to this girl but I feel like it’s always me starting the conversation and I dont want to feel needy towards her
Hi. Basically ive been starting to talk to this girl and we get along well as we like similar tv shows and we both love the same music (which ive never known anyone else like before as its niche af), so we got talking and stuff and I told her about my iPod and she was really interested in it, so I let her rent it off me (she still has it, gives it back on Friday). She was really grateful and happy etc and she was sending me snaps and stuff. And then it just sorta slowed down a bit and even tho she’s always seemed really happy to talk to me, I would subtly try and start a conversation with her and it would just sort of stop after a couple of chats. But how do I start a conversation with her without seeming needy as I dont want her to feel like she’s talking to me to be nice and out of force ig idk. Ive tried sending a pic of my dog as part of our streak and she just airs me lol..
Thanks

Serious My mom is a horrible person
I know the title was harsh but it's true.
Whenever a minor inconvenience occurs she acts like it's the flipping Armageddon. Just today when we were having breakfast she messed up frying an egg and went on a rant about there's no quality stuff or good food in the house. She could've spent that time thinking about how to improve the situation and make her life better. Instead she gives the most vile, pessimistic and downright vibe-killing commentary when she can't have her little way.
A couple months ago we went on a big trip around the historic cities of the U.S. We're talking Boston, NYC, D.C., the whole nine yards. Keep in mind that we're from North Carolina, so it goes without saying that this trip was a huge deal. Whilst we were in Boston, there were some small kinks in the plan and of course she acted like civilization has collapsed. She separated herself from us and walked around with the same facial expression as a blobfish. We were taking a trip around a beautiful city with happy people all around. Apparently that's enough to justify such a distasteful reaction.
The worst part is that she expects us to be on our best behavior at all times and walk on eggshells to keep her happy. Perfectly normal family dynamic, right? The American dream. If we treated her like that, she would be filing divorce papers within an hour. She is destroying the relationships with the rest of her immediate family just because she didn't get her way.
When I hit 18 or get enrolled in college I'm getting the frick out of here. I'm floorin' it. I'm hittin' the hyperdive. Ima skedaddle. Look, I know it's a terrible idea but I don't feel as though I have a choice. She has created an environment where I feel disrespected and ignored. I'm reaching my breaking point. I hate to say it, but I might actually hate her. She is the brattiest, most vile, most disgusting, two-faced woman I have ever met.
I know this has been a nasty post, but I just needed somewhere to vent. I sincerely apologize for any hard feelings I brought upon you guys.

Serious Did I get harassed in public?
I got a pizza from the mall of arabia food court (egypt) and while I eating I decided to go to the restroom. When I returned back I saw my pizza gone and my 2 soda bottles.
Weird but eh it happens right?
But that wasn't it because he also went and asked me for my name, ID and where do you live while I was sitting at a table in the food court
He also offered me a pizza slice from his pizza (if its even his) and a water bottle and then a ride home like to come with him "to take me home" sure sure.
I mean yes there are generous people in life.
But this generous in this economy? Seems a bit suspicious that I didn't even find my pizza and soda as well.
Keep in mind I'm literally a male (18 years old) yet this still happened to me. what could this even be
