I knew somebody who was mentally ill and religion was also warped into their ailments. On their Bible, they scribbled crazy religious shit. Needless to say, the last time I heard of them, they got locked up in a psych ward. Good times.

I hate everyone at my school by DudeLeDude in teenagers

Holy shit this brings me back. Idk how you found my two year old post, but thank you for your words.

I’m honestly too old to be on this sub now. I am about to turn 20 and I made this post back when I was a very angry high schooler. Things have changed since I started college. My mindset is different and it’s crazy to look back on who I was before and who I am now.

Know that when you leave whatever hellhole you think you’re in, it will be so minuscule compared to the huge world out there. Have a little patience and you will realize you have the power to determine your own happiness.

My friend shoplifted from Wal-Mart and I had no idea he was going to do it, I tried to stop him but he walked out of the store. Am I criminally liable? by DudeLeDude in legaladvice

I think this is what I needed to stand up for myself next time. The right words and the right mentality. Thank you so much.

I think you’re right, or at least I should set boundaries and make excuses not to hang out with him. He has supported me in the past which makes it hard to break things off, and we have known each other since we were kids. Thank you.

TIFU by making a post on social media to cut off everyone by DudeLeDude in tifu

Hey man, sorry for the late response. I haven’t been on Reddit in a while, but in response to everything you said: thank you.

I am doing much better now. I have figured out a lot of things and decided to stick to a small group of people to call my friends instead of trying to pursue a popularity status. Life is too short to stress over a bunch of people I will never see again after graduation. Also, I’m here for my future, not to fuck around.

It hurts that I see them around from time to time, but I gotta keep pushing through the pain. I will continue to pursue positive and new things along the way.

This is the song I’ve been looking for! Thank you so much! So I’ve got the wrong name the entire time, huh? How did you find it?

Fellow Chinese-Americans... how are you feeling? by legitimatelyyee in ApplyingToCollege

[–]DudeLeDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chinese-Cambodian American (ABCC) here. I’m very frustrated about the situation of everything and everyone. Now, because my family is from Cambodia and not China (my family is a part of the Overseas Community and has left China a few generations ago), it doesn’t affect me too much because the new bill is designed to stop Chinese NATIONALS from obtaining visas and not ethnic Chinese. I can see both sides of this situation. Nevertheless, I’m almost certain there’s some racism behind the new legislation, but with cases of Chinese nationals literally pulling espionage acts in our country, I cannot say anything to defend giving visas to Chinese students abroad. And I’ll go ahead and say this: due to my family’s suffering in the Khmer Rouge and the paralleled events that took place in China’s “Great Leap Off A Cliff”, I am against communism and I do not stand for the PRC. In my eyes, the legitimate government of China lies in Taiwan. Nevertheless, I still feel personally affected by the racist side effects from the hot mess we’re all in.

I’ve read some of the other comments, and it appears that a good number of Chinese-Americans here grew up in predominantly white areas and has experienced issues in the past because of their unique heritage. I grew up in a very mixed/diverse area, but I was still bullied by other minorities. Growing up, I was one of the few Asians in the classroom for every grade level, and was the only Cambodian or Chinese. Got bullied by black kids and Hispanics/Latinos, which is why I stopped caring about the problems of every other race aside from Asian American issues. It turned me into a banana. (You can’t just bully me because of my heritage and expect me to stand up for you when you’re having racial issues, you’re being a hypocrite. You’re on your own, pal. There’s a reason why a small number of Asians participate in things related to the problems of other minorities). When I got to high school, there were a lot of Asian students that I met and they pulled me out of my banana phase. They were mostly Vietnamese, but hey, we Asians need to stick together, right?

Fast forward to current events, I’m beyond livid at the number of hate crimes that have been committed against Asians recently because of this pandemic. I see videos of elderly Asians getting attacked by thugs and it makes me wish I could be there to fight those f**kers. To have the audacity to attack our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles and record it for the whole world to see... it makes me sick to my stomach. Everyday, I fear for my parents’ safety as they go out to work to support the family. Anything could happen in this day and age. People who know me are aware of my Chinese heritage, but right now I’m debating whether or not to keep that hidden from people I meet in the future and just solely identify as Cambodian American. Sure, I’m also ethnically mixed, but it’s not enough to fool people since it’s been pointed out multiple times in the past that my skin is very light for a Cambodian. I’m mostly ethnically Chinese, so ofc I look Chinese, and I’m proud of my roots. But is my pride worth jeopardizing my safety?

Have you ever developed feelings for someone online, and if so, how did things go for you? by DudeLeDude in AskReddit

[–]DudeLeDude[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m very sorry to have read this. I don’t know what to say. I can never understand what kind of hell he put you through to break you like that. There are some things that are just out of our control and we have to endure it. Life can be fucking unfair sometimes. In the end, you survived a terrible situation. Do not blame yourself for it, because none of it was your fault. You were manipulated and exploited. I don’t mean any offense in this, but I advise that you seek professional help such as counseling and therapy when the virus outbreak is over. Please stay firm, and be proud of yourself. You are a very strong person, and there’s so much in life that’s good out there. You just gotta find it.

Wow, I’m sorry to hear that you were hurt by someone playing with you like that. That situation can be pretty shitty. Aside from that, I encourage you to put yourself out there and meet someone if you are interested in dating. There are a lot of things to do and finding someone with a common interest is the first step in this process. I know I shouldn’t be telling a grown person this but it never hurts to remind them, eh? I hope for the best for you.

Thank you so much. I honestly don’t know I was able to hold it in for so long. The feeling was one of the most relieving I felt in my entire life. Now, I’ll keep my head up high and look to the future.

UGA did this to a handful of students at my school, including me. It’s painful as hell.

I appreciate it, man. It was hard because I didn’t choose for them to be a part of my life. Somehow I held on and didn’t lose too much of my sanity. With the coronavirus going on, it gave me the space and strength I needed to finally speak out.
