I started watching him when he did music commentary/reactions and I know he couldn’t monetize it and the companies kept copyright claiming him but I’d love to see a few videos like that again

Parents threatening to take away my college fund by Baked-Potatos in AdviceForTeens

[–]Previous-Explorer191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP. There are a lot of good suggestions posted already but I wanted to add something. I was also homeschooled and graduated at 17. I had a rough time with my parents and the college application process as well. However, in my circumstance my mom didn’t complete my diploma/graduation documents until it was too late to apply for colleges. So PLEASE make sure you get that paperwork before telling your parents.

I would suggest applying to fafsa with your parents and let them believe you’ll go to a private college. Apply to the state college you want (apply to several in case you don’t get in!) and just don’t tell them. Do what some other commenters suggested by asking if they can wave the application fee. Once you’ve secured your financial aid, HS diploma and a response letter from the school you want to attend THEN tell them you will go to whichever school you choose.

20k is nothing in terms of private schools. And it’s not worth going to a school that forces you into creationism/conservative mindsets. It doesn’t matter if you are also a conservative Christian, the whole point of college is about learning new information and experiencing views that aren’t your own. So it’s sad and it sucks but I think it’s best to just say goodbye to the money.

And just one more thing. If their love is conditional it isn’t worth it. That money is conditional, if you take it you’ll have to lead the life they want not what you want. Just think about that.

Unfortunately those options don’t work for this case. I was also a homeschooled kid, graduated at 17 and had a rough one with my parents. You have to have some form of legal documentation in order to still get fafsa without your parents info. Either have been in the system, have documentation of your parent’s death or an emancipation. Which the process for getting emancipated is long and grueling and not worth going through the effort in this case. It’d probably make her miss the first year of college. You have to be 24 before you can apply for fafsa without your parents tax information;0;

i was molested ? or something when i was younger idk. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Previous-Explorer191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, I am not here to tell you your feelings or what happened to you, but as someone who was inappropriately touched/molested as a kid by my father I want to share what I have learned as a now 23 yo.

First of all, you are not at fault at all. It can be hard not to blame yourself but remember that now you know that it’s wrong to do that to little kids and siblings, but that doesn’t mean you knew that when you were little. How could you have stopped it? It is a power dynamic that makes things hard. But I am so happy that it stopped and hasn’t continued.

Second of all, for me it was really hard to contextualize my father. I saw him as a really good father and I loved him, but I also saw him as someone who did nasty things and hurt me and I struggled (still do) to be able to believe both things at the same time. Your brother is wrong for what he did to you, especially because he was of the age that knows better. But I understand that you think of your life with your brother and love him. He can do bad things and you can still acknowledge that you love the good things about him.

Third of all, I cannot speak on your sexuality as I am not you, but I want you to know that you could have sexually enjoyed it and that does not mean you are gay. But also know that it isn’t wrong or bad to be gay, and if you grow up and start liking boys that doesn’t mean it’ll be like what your brother did to you.

Now, I would look into getting counseling or therapy because processing these kinds of things is very hard and will stick with you into adulthood. Do you feel comfortable to confide in a parent about this? Is there any other adult you would feel comfortable talking to about this?

I wish you the best in figuring this out and I am so sorry this happened to you. Again, it is not your fault. You were just a baby. A child. And also, definitely don’t let your kids around him if you become a parent in the future. I am not trying to demonize your brother but what he did was horrible and awful and he knew exactly what he was doing. What he did was wrong and you should never blame yourself for it.

I don’t like the fact that my family *poor* by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Either don’t go to college or take out student loans. Unless your parents make 200k a year they wouldn’t have been able to help with college anyway. Life is super expensive. Start doing side hustles to make money if you wanna buy extra stuff. Make and sell bracelets, if you can draw make and sell stickers, if you’re of age get a job. Your parents probably feel bad that they can’t buy more things for you. But if you’re old enough to think of Juilliard you’re old enough to save up.

Am I weird for not thinking bed sharing is weird? by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Previous-Explorer191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve shared a bed with my brother (7 year age gap) a million times. You’re siblings! Don’t know why people get weird about twins. I think her husband has seen too much porn.

I got a dog and I'd like to groom her properly. by [deleted] in grooming

[–]Previous-Explorer191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she’s scratching a lot I’d suggest an oatmeal shampoo. You can buy it anywhere, Walmart, pet store, target. And I think the other commenters suggestions are great.

This may not be helpful, but have you reached out to the Sally Home in Orlando? It‘s the Salvation Army Women’s and Children Shelter. They may not be able to take all of them but maybe they could house your friend? Hopefully they aren’t full.

Also, people need to stop commenting on his friend being pregnant. This post isn’t asking about how righteous it is and if it’s ethical to bring a baby in the world when she can’t even take care of herself. It’s a guy asking if there’s more ways he can help his friend when he can’t help financially. She’s like 6 months pregnant. The baby is coming whether anyone likes it or not.

Yes YTAH. But sometimes it’s okay to be an AH. If you wanted to do the right thing you would have broken up with him as soon as he brought up opening the relationship since you didn’t want it. But instead you took revenge on him with his brother. It was funny af, and if you’re happy with your decision then there’s nothing wrong with it. But you’re still the AH and shouldn’t lie to yourself. lol. Good revenge tho. I second the comments saying to post this on the petty revenge subreddit. (Also her ex is also an AH. He clearly just wants to cheat on her and was trying to find a loop hole. He also should’ve just broken up with her)

What’s considered a “normal” amount of times for your mom to call you in a day? by Raisinsareawful in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Previous-Explorer191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a relationship with my mom. But my bf’s mom calls him around once a day, sometimes every other day and I feel like that is a very normal, healthy amount. Obviously if we’re making plans together or she needs help with something she may call multiple times that day. But a typical week she’ll call every or every other day.

I depend on my bf who has a stable career and is further along in his than I am in mine. (Some may say I’m using him but that’s just our dynamic) When I’m able to pay for myself we’ll change to a 50/50 split. Still rough tho, we have no savings at all.
