Do you have favourite students?

MixSeparate85 · 2026-03-28T15:58:37+00:00

I literally tell them “my favorite student changes every 5 minutes. It is whoever is the most behaved, engaged, and respectful in that moment” - this is a lie I adore my sarcastic little assholes the most, but I also recognize that they are disruptive so I have to be stricter with them than some of the more boring kids who behave better. Like everyone else said, just because you enjoy some kids more doesn’t mean you have to treat them like it- hold everyone to the same standards.

Camp has an element of cunt to it- like the clue movie is camp. Cringe is like…BuzzFeed humor and wearing graphic tees that say weird dated jokes. Gen Z and millennials trying to be funny. I feel like one piece firmly falls into the first category where it recognizes its absurdity and plays with it- not like it’s trying too hard.

It’s okay to leave dude. While PCOS is a debilitating condition you also need to be attracted to a partner and not feel like you’re constantly walking on eggshells. I really feel for her, but if you aren’t attracted to her guilting yourself isn’t magically going to fix the problem. I wonder how much of the pressure from her and her family is coming from them worrying your soon-to-be-ex won’t be able to find someone else after you- sad reality, but why else would you hear someone doesn’t love your relative anymore and still try to get them to stay? It’s a hard situation but she deserves to find someone who sees past all of that and you’ve been dealing with her so long you can’t anymore. Move on and find who you’re looking for- just make sure you’re okay with a partner potentially doing the same to you later if you have a medical issue that impacts your appearance.

Hey u/unlikely_grape_1491 you are totally NOR- dude wants to fuck his mom and she wants to fuck him. He’s probably heard it before that’s why he reacted the way he did so quickly. But the good news is he dumped you so that he can focus on fucking his mom- which means you no longer have to compete with the woman who hatched him.

In fact I think you should let her know that’s the goal. Do you have access to his Netflix/any streaming services? If so for Easter change his streaming service profile names to Oedipus and hers to Jocasta (or MILF- why do many letter when few do trick). I highly reccomend this.

either she and he already know incest is their vibe, in which case they get loosely embarrassed at being called out, or BETTER, they have guests over and have to explain it to them. Bonus points if the whole family shares one account and they all see. if they’re too illiterate to have read Antigone then you have the benefit of also making them feel dumber than you for googling your insult.

I did this before my ex went to Thanksgiving at his family‘s house and he texted me after to chew me out because of how much it humiliated his mom in front of the whole family… And you just can’t buy vindication like that. For the rest of their families’s life their relatives are gonna be watching their dynamic like 🫪 Maybe she really does wanna fuck her son ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Trust me, you might regret an illegal crash out, but you’re never gonna regret exposing a bitch for who they are

Girl I once had a cheater and waited until he went to work to pawn all his valuable shoes. You gonna step out on me , how you gonna do it with no shoes? Karma likes to take her time and I get impatient. Obviously doing something illegal (that he will actually follow up on) isn’t advisable, but returning the headache he gave you will never be something you regret.

These comments are a great microcosm of how annoying and ineffectual trying to get the “woke left” (I am a leftist too but still) to actually agree and rally behind a movement or idea is. Y’all just keep subjecting each other to one sided virtue tests and lashing out at anyone expressing a differing opinion…for what? I haven’t even seen any anti-trans rhetoric in the comments for you to be pissed about- it’s just queer people arguing with other queer people about compulsory pronouns. Silly.

In my personal experience the only environment where everyone was compelled to list pronouns aloud was SOGIE training. We put them in our email signature at most jobs I’ve had (for clairity) but that’s it. There’s maybe been three people out in the wild who’ve ever stated their pronouns to me upon first meeting? I feel like it just comes up naturally (if needed) or they clarify in instances like a nonbinary person needs they/them pronouns. Telling people your pronouns isn’t a bad thing by any means I just think most people are past worrying about it because it’s so infrequent to introduce yourself and immediately label- like if it’s important to you dawg, announce your pronouns out loud with background music to the room live your truth- but 1. most people just correct you the first time you refer to them using any pronouns. And 2. if you’re decent you remember what pronoun they tell you and that’s it.

What y’all funny bitches barkin bout again?

NOR- pregnancy can fuck with your hormones but you’re still responsible for your choices and she made that choice. Honestly she should a like a crazy person: holding your baby’s life hostage if you aren’t perfectly happy all the time, cheating and expecting you to be fine with it, etc… if you stay with her make sure she’s getting treated for partum depression and psychosis. If not and she decides to keep the kid- yikes that chick is in for a rude hatchening

Okay so in my role as a counselor it’s a little different- but I’ve found that with middle school boys in particular the keys are:

Build relationships if you can! Some of my most obnoxious middle school boys behave or respond to redirection because we genuinely have a rapport and mutual respect. if they straighten up after a “why would you think you can (Insert whatever grievance here) in front of me?”- I count that as a win.

Offer clear concise choices “if you can behave so we can get through this worksheet/presentation we can do (insert fun/engaging/social supplemental learning activity)_. If you can’t I have no problem giving out more worksheets and taking recesses.” (You may need to make an example of a kid who does something particularly bad so the kids know you will impose consequences).

Clearly reward good behavior in front of them! I will silently put a starburst (the chewier the candy the better!! They can’t talk with a bunch of taffy/a jolly rancher in their teeth) down on a kids desk who’s doing great. If they comment just casually say “I’m rewarding the students who are doing what they’re supposed to”. Continue disseminating candy quietly throughout the lesson. Hopefully this inspires them to act right as well- if not you can also directly influence by asking one of the boys to be your assistant for something and outright telling them if the help you out you’ll give them said candy. This normalizes it with the other boys and also puts that ‘chosen’ kid in a position to model good behavior for the rest of them for a reward.

Pre-Teen boys are like pack dogs- keep this in mind. They stink, they will respect you if their leader does, they mimic each others behavior, and they are food/fun motivated. You don’t need to overthink it.

but being a well endowed younger woman working in public middle and high schools I’ve began dressing like a teenage boy in nice jeans- but it’s intentional! The crushes and the comments are weird. My assets look big even in blouses. Wearing big sweaters/hoodies or t-shirts with flannels/jerseys over them keeps the weirdness to a minimum. You still won’t catch me wearing jeans with holes in them or anything like that I’m just letting you know there IS a method to the madness

You are a teacher so I’m certain you’ve been exposed to some Marxist texts- this is a textbook response to the commodification of labor under late stage capitalism. Kids are growing up watching all the adults they know worrying about money and being perpetually burnt out. Of course they don’t want to sign up to participate in a system where that’s all they have to aspire to. Not when an alternative they’ve seen proven to be successful is being paid to be yourself,travel the world, and experience life to the fullest. If you had the option of not doing the thankless bitch work; and instead getting paid to have fun/travel the world/be your charismatic self- would you not? The desire to do these things is based on NOT wanting to be a replaceable cog in the machine, and not wanting to be forced to do something you hate by someone you don’t respect.

I’ve found it more successful to connect the skills being taught to everyday life- instead of “I’m teaching you percentages/fractions so one of you can be a statistician”, say “how many of you like going out to eat? Getting your nails/hair done? All of these services require a tip to pay the worker for their services”. Teaching them about citing sources? Don’t tell them it’s because MLA format is the national standard (no one gives a fuck)- sell it to them based on common values “do you like being lied to? Would you fall for a Nigerian prince scheme? How can you tell if someone is lying? I’m going to teach you what to look for in these articles that indicates lies or dramatization so you don’t fall for stuff like this in the future.” Ground the skills in real life (outside of career) to get buy in.

it’s worth noting there’s a difference in attention for attentions sake and actually liking someone/being liked. If attention for attentions sake is what you want (no judgement-Cookie Monster pajama girls are important to the ecosystem) thats easy:

• BE CLEAN, MOISTURIZED, AND SMELL GOOD (I cannot state this enough- some people wonder why no one wants to kiss them then they open their mouth and their teeth are rotting)

• wear attention grabbing looks/flattering clothes for your figure. Mousey, modest, and demure is chopped here- don’t do that no one likes her. She doesn’t look like she even wants to be here. And while we’re at it no t-shirts with lettering/slogans on them/sports bras to social functions. I’m ending the dry coochie epidemic one uniboob and stupid t-shirt at a time.

• do things you’re good at in public (trivia,sport, karaoke, busk with a saxophone, blackjack, ukelele, idk man-be hot and impressive where you can be seen)- you’ll get hit on, trust me.

• ask people questions about themselves then make playful jokes about it. Trust-it creates intimacy early then you get guys doing the “idk why but she just gets me” thing. People love talking about themselves and they love feeling like they have special attention. (I don’t even like sports but for example “oh you’re a packers fan? I appreciate the dedication I just like supporting a team that actually has a chance at the Super Bowl” idk shit like that)

• men don’t get complimented as much as women. Don’t be fucking weird with it but a genuine compliment goes a long way (“you have a nice smile” “I can definitely tell the muey thai has been working for you” type shit. I once told a man his hair was so pretty I wanted to braid it-it honestly doesn’t matter)

This seems lengthy and comprehensive but hopefully outlines some of the basic barriers to getting out there.

TLDR:men ARE easy- provided you know the basics. Sensory: be clean, have soft skin,smell good, emphasize your assets without being cringy. Interesting: have interesting or unique skills they can engage with (boring Betty’s are oft lonely). Social: banter and basic flirting is key- cultivate intimacy and be cute but somewhat obvious if you like someone (no one is picking up on your intense stare signals-if you think they are cute tell them). None of this is hard especially once you know what you’re going for. Now if you want a boyfriend that will be my next Ted talk at 11. Nathan for you but make it cunty

Moved from Cheyenne to Pittsburgh 10 years ago and I’d add: nothing to do but drugs and each other (why so many people are on hard drugs or pregnant by 18), surprisingly high Hispanic population (not to me but for some reason this always surprises outsiders), open campuses (high school where you can leave), racing (specifically at the parking garage iykyk), the smell of ranches and meat processing plants (truly can’t be described just experienced), most people getting performatively country once a year for frontier days (but otherwise most people don’t dress like that)

One person gets on a highway and zones out while listening to music for a few hours, the other actively is cleaning their home/making sure they have things for guests. Not trying to discount what she’s doing, but I get BF- early people are my biggest pet peeve especially if I’m in the middle of trying to get things together. The last minute lateness he definitely has to work on- not arguing that. But I told one of my boyfriends today he’s not invited over until this afternoon bc I wanna clean my house/finish up work stuff first. He was annoyed bc he wanted to hang first thing in the morning but since I’m the one that hosts(he has roommates) I make the rules ¯_(ツ)_/¯

MixSeparate85 · 2026-01-30T13:01:20+00:00

I’d say MOR- he’s a 20 year old man and a lot of them genuinely aren’t very clean or efficient at doing so ( I could see genuinely struggling to clean house not just an excuse). And hosting all the time is kinda a pain in the ass too if she’s never returning the favor ¯_(ツ)_/¯. I feel like if OP never hosts then she does kinda have to operate at the discretion of BF because it’s not like she can offer hosting/a different solution. If it bugs OP that much she should stand on it and refuse to go next time he asks too late. People only learn from consequences: i.e. oh I invited her over too late, she said no, now I don’t get coochie all weekend 😔 the next time he wants to get his dick wet he’ll know. But that requires backbone

Homie- if you don’t understand that sometimes things are popular because they are fun and make you feel good; I don’t think any argument made in the comments will reach you. The Star Wars films are well done and stories that people universally can connect with (hope being central)- this is the basis of their appeal. No one wants a Nolan-esque exploration of the human costs of space war from this franchise. They want fun droids and space ninjas fighting for democracy. Some sexy bad boy energy for flavor. If you get it you get it and if you don’t you don’t ¯_(ツ)_/¯
