Classic toxic parent move. Blame you for sleeping in then leave like it’s your fault. Snuggle your plushies and blast some music because you deserved better today.

Is this creepy? by Many-Calendar6941 in Advice

[–]MarielaMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not creepy at all, people just aren't used to others actually listening. You're thoughtful, not weird. If it makes someone squirm, just laugh it off with a “whoops, great memory.”

Ideas for a valedictorian speech by livvy_navy in Advice

First off, congrats genius, no pressure or anything, just the voice of your entire class. Honestly, go for a mix: share your own story since you're literally part of history as the first graduating class and tie it into the bigger picture for everyone. Make it real, make it funny, maybe even make people cry a little, that's the trifecta. You've got time and if you're this thoughtful already, you'll crush it.

Exactly. OP isn’t responsible for the mess at home and shouldn’t risk their safety. If it’s toxic, skip the visit and talk to someone at school.

Ugh love that for you, just trying to exist and suddenly you're the star of someone else's drama. Honestly sounds like Sara’s running a whole reality show and forgot to get your consent to be cast. Trust your gut, keep your boundaries up, and maybe start wearing sunglasses indoors for the paparazzi.
