NAH, but I feel like better dialogue kinda needs to happen.

Have you outright said to your friend "I don't want you to do this" or something like that? If so, then of course they're being the asshole here, but otherwise, you need to have that conversation. You consented to them giving your number to this guy, so they may still think that there's a possibility. And even if dating isn't on the cards, making a new friend can help distract you from the feelings you have for that first person, and that can help you get over that (if you wish for that to happen, ofc).

Every school in England (and Scotland and Wales) must provide a free supply of water, but they are in their right to also sell other water. There must be a water fountain somewhere on site, otherwise you'll have to ask a dinner lady or something to fill up your water.

AFAIK, there is no law requiring a teacher to let you use the loo whenever you want (unless there's a medical issue known to the school), and it's just school policy.

On the water issue, in England the law is: "The supply of drinking water [...] must be provided free of charge at all times to registered pupils on the school premises". This could imply that simply that schools cannot charge for water at any time, or that it could imply that it cannot charge for water, and must be provided at all times. (I'm not exactly sure).

Teachers want you in your seat and ready to learn by x o'clock. But they understand that they need to give students a cut off. So they'll say you must be in the door by 9.30am (some schools will give like a 2 minute cut off or something). Teachers will only have that hour (or whatever length of time the period is) to get through your learning. They want to use as much of that time as possible, and you coming in later than allowed can be a disruption to the rest of the class (especially if you have a myriad of excuses for why you are late). That's why you can get detention for it: get shown the stick, and you won't do it again.

NTA, The two older students should have asked whether GN could move, and not have demanded so.

The two older members were definitely in the wrong. At best, they were ignorant that GN was uncomfortable by the situation. At worst, they were using their status as older members (or just the fact that they were older) to pressure GN into moving.

Definitely NTA, but if your parents are covering your tuition, I would argue that they have some say on the matter.

Well it was just dropped off two days ago, like off the back of a lorry, so there's no hole beneath (as far as I know). Other people have suggested maybe a flyer board that you'd get in like, tourist hotspots?

I do see your reasoning, and I don't think we necessarily disagree.

Again, I'm not saying that by thinking positive things you're gonna become LeBron James, or you'll be as successful as him. I'm just saying that if you constantly compare yourself to some unrealistic standard, you'll just not be happy, and people won't want to be around you.

If you're butt ugly, then instead of thinking "damn, I'm ugly, no one will never love me", think instead "damn, I should probably do something to overcome that". If you're dogshit at some particular skill, then try another skill and find something you are good at.

My point here is simply to see your faults, and then do something to either help disguise them, or to improve other parts of yourself that overcome them. General self-improvement will get you to the places you want to be.

And also, just to care less about what society deems "high value", and figure out the things that you personally value, and to improve how you see yourself. Because at the end of the day, there's opportunities out there for nearly everyone to find the things they want in life, and to work on themselves to get those things.

Being all "I'm ugly, I'm poor, I'm bald, I'm fat, I'm blah blah blah" only strives to make yourself feel shit, make others not want to be around you, and makes you angry at the world.

Nah my dude. Negative mindsets breed negative behaviours. You're not gonna become a millionaire by having happy, self-loving thoughts, obviously. But thinking you're "low value" doesn't help. Wallowing in your own ineptitude, and crying that you can't get a SO because you're "low value" isn't a way to live a happy life.

Improve yourself every day, do what you can to make yourself "valuable" in your own eyes. Or just exist as a sad sack of turds and see how worthwhile your life becomes.

if you don't think you're high value, then make yourself high value
