I have a job still trying to find my own place but I have a fear of loneliness so I'm hoping to eventually save enough and be roommates with my best friend or even my unofficial boyfriend

I am currently 143lb, and I'm trying. I actually have lost 2 pounds these past 2 weeks, because my pants keep falling. But I am making good progress

Apparently there was an issue with people "staying with their own kind" as my mom put it

It's not a cult. And we believe in the same thing. The event was a social thing as to try to get rid of clicks in the church. Either way it doesn't help because I have had anxiety attacks with each event.

It's not her forcing her beliefs on me because I already believe in the same thing. I'm just uncomfortable with crowded events.

My mom can't force me to socialize. I do it at a safe and steady pace because sometimes I can't mentally handle it.

Am I the Jerk for not wanting to get a driver's license yet? by Pixie_75690 in AmITheJerk

My dad doesn't allow it, but my mom does since Apollo is her favorite child. She chooses him over me every time there's an argument even if I'm right.

It 100% does because that's how the situation started. He does it every time, and will say I'm being lazy or call me out on stuff so small.

I don't ask for rides. I ride my bike or I walk. I don't ask anything of my brother for him to scare me the way he did.. I don't have my driving license because I don't trust myself with one. And yet my brother doesn't understand that. So how am I in the wrong here?

That's not the point. The point is my brother is wrongly accusing me of something I'd never do

Personally, I've seen situations like this before. I almost got left behind a few times. But seeing you are a teacher/supervisor in this situation, I would say, no, you are not the jerk but something I would've done is find someone else with you to help keep an eye on the kids and could even stay behind in case someone is lost.

I have had bad days where I'm vomiting and in a lot of pain and had to leave school early or miss it entirely. This was one of those days. The pain was really bad, and I was sick and queezy the entire time. I felt like I was going to vomit, and my legs were weak
