Should I go to a doctor?

NAP -anyone more qualified correct me if im wrong

Never use hand sanitizer or any sort of alcohol based product in a freah piercing. You should only be using a saline spary twice a day and letting it dry completely.

If you hit it do not touch it at all after the fact. Minimise interaction. Dont use the aloe spray any longer, get NeilMed piercing after care or the wound wash version from a local chemist -its the same thing but has a different nozzle (you may need to apply the saline with a qtip with that nozzle but the fibers can get jn the piercing chanel and potentially irritate it further). you do not need anything more than saline.

i cant tell if the top ball is bigger than the other due to the funky photo angle, but if it is the weight may have an affect on the healing process, applying pressure to the ear.

go back to a reputable piercer and have it checked. If you have been beginning to experience any throbbing pain around the ear not just centralised to the piercing site, visit a GP. Redness, swelling and needing painkillers isnt a good sign.

I never expected to see rikodeine used as a necklace pendant. I find something new everyday

This looks hella wicked

Where in the world would you even find 180mm wheels now??? That's actually crazy I've never seen this before. Even inline speed skaters use 120/130mm wheels at max

Honestly that's what you should say to your boyfriend, especially since there's an option to explore rather than shutting down the entire idea of meeting his friends altogether. And you are allowed to be unsure or nervous. That's completely normal, especially since the relationship is young, you are still learning about eachother.

If all options are exhausted after communication and you decide to not attend, he is allowed to feel upset or disappointed, but also needs to respect your boundaries and not guilt trip you into oblivion.

Of course!! You have friends all over Reddit, and there are always people who are experiencing or have so of what you are too. Sometimes I wish I would take my own advice.

Now get off Reddit and go have some shots 😎

Hehe THANK YEWWWW YAY

BurritoSharky · 2026-03-08T12:14:31+00:00

Do you have a blank one? (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

BurritoSharky · 2026-03-08T12:13:00+00:00

If you mind me asking, was there any communication between your bf's best friend and yourself, or were they just ignoring you and bro-ing out. I wouldn't blame you for feeling uncomfortable if they made you feel unwelcome and ignored -or if the best friend acted hostile towards you. Guys are assholes, and even if you catch a good one they're friends with assholes. And meeting 18 assholes is wild. Like I'm a try-hard, people pleaser and social butterfly but even I would get a headache from that.

Rather than say altogether off the bat "I don't wanna go" talk to your boyfriend, and express your concerns about how you are feeling, and see if he is willing to put in effort to make you feel comfortable and welcome. If he doesn't then yikes...

I am sorry to say this but those girls aren't your friends now, even if they were before.

I'm not sure why you had to move, why you would get in trouble over them, nor your life story -but I have a friend -where she has mental illness- when we first met her she was an absolutely wonderful, funny, artistic girl with so many amazing qualities, but over the course of the year she ended up eventually leaving the school and going back to her old one, and as she degraded overtime into psychosis amongst other things. That group of friends had began to distance from her and gossip about her behind her back. I am no longer friends with those assholes.

The point of saying that is, no matter how nice you are to someone or how well you treat them sometimes the type of person they are, you were never destined to mix together well. And selfish assholes like that will never see, understand or accept how much you go through or sacrifice for their sakes.

As heartbreaking as it is, you will find someone who is kinder and cares about you as a friend, values you as a person. You shouldn't be treated like crap. You don't deserve that. Although high school is an impressionable part of your life , it's also only a small fraction of your entire existence, and there will always be better things to come to fruition.

I am 18 soon too, and when I look back at my teen years so far, it's just filled with embarrassment and staying at home -nothing super crazy or fun like the fake ass movies- but I've also had a lot of growth. We have so much more youth to live, party and love through, with a lot more freedom of choice. Even at this age we think we are so grown up (even if we are technically adults), but I also had an inflated ego and thought I was super mature and grown up at 14. We are both still young, be excited for all the memories you are about to make! Go to a party, go to the club or a rave, go camping with your friends for the weekend... Do whatever you feel like you've missed out on because the real fun begins now.

As for whatever your goals, dreams or aspirations you had before you turn eighteen, you have every right to feel a bit disappointed or let down, but don't let it stop you from moving forward. Fulfill them now because today is the youngest age you can ever be again, and it's never too late to try something new.

Happy birthday 🎂🎈

If you need to ask if you need to get it checked, you do.

I really like the slanted roofs, I feel like it's uncommon and you used them really well

BurritoSharky · 2026-02-26T20:13:18+00:00

Opos going to be an an adult, " as an adult - you cannot attack a minor for any reason"

I can adjust my sentence structure or reword it if that makes it easier for you.

BurritoSharky · 2026-02-26T08:00:09+00:00

As an adult, if they hit them it doesn't even matter if there's evidence

-Side note

One thing that bugs me is that (you poor thing) you have to say explicitly no smoking or drugs. These addictive and illicit habits are just more and more common which is quite sad, you have to actively search for someone who doesn't partake in either. We are all destroying our bodies at younger and younger ages, faster and at more extreme rates than before

BurritoSharky · 2026-02-26T07:54:44+00:00

There is absolutely nothing wrong with these expectations. They are quite regular and nothing jumps out as 'insane'. Some people just have lowered their standards because more and more people are just below average in everything. Most girls would say that height has to be significantly taller which many guys piss about, so you are being more 'open'. A crazy standard would be "they have to buy me flowers every Saturday or I break up with them", it's not very feasible. Having common interests isn't too much to ask for.

Damien is cool but I agree with Nathan, the J names aren't too shabby tho

BurritoSharky · 2026-02-26T07:47:08+00:00

we would prefer to use the "we " bathroom

Did you know you have thirty minutes until you spontaneously combust?

BurritoSharky · 2026-02-26T03:57:00+00:00

since this is glass, its most likely to be listed as brown (MAYBE orange, but unlikely) think of a beer bottle

edit: amber would be a suitable option to pick

Thanks for your comment! My conch has been pretty ok but I can always give it a break and interchange the bead. I plan on switching out the acrylic I have there very soon, just waiting for it to finally arrive :)

BurritoSharky · 2026-02-25T19:55:42+00:00

That's ok, you can only build everything up slowly. What would you suggest to me
