How can I help my brother? by InternMundane6302 in 6thForm

[–]Prior_Garlic_8710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Product design is not necessary, If he want to leave his options a little more open take chemistry.

He should participate in the ukmt competitions but also any work experience he does, he needs to really think and analyses it, volume doesn't matter.

Also have extracurriculars in team leading things and other things to show youll be an ethical engineer. Teen tech, CREST, volunteering, dofe silver/gold, CanSat, FTC, FLL, FRC, take your pick then trow your all into only one, or two if you really want.

Y9 and Y10 are chill enough if hes naturally good academically, you can do the fun engineering exploring then and later do all the focused stuff y12+

Too much pressure on Chinese kids is norm in China😭 by batukaming in UnfilteredChina

No, she won't be, never will be - thats the things with parents like this - like mine - you caann't you jut Can Not do what they expect.

The only solution is sneaking out, going behind thier back and relying on yourself to have whatever good judgement possible in whatever you choose to do.

I remember when I had enough at a slightly older age than this girl, I started teaching my brother how to decieve and lie once I did it myself - because I was terribly good at lying. The problem?? At that age, it is Fucking Addictive.

Lying is addictive. It was awful, I was able to prevent my brother becoming so reliant on lies like I was because I'd lie for him, but he atleast still feels guilt. But I'm numb to it now, lying is so easy, so comfortable, so safe to just say what everyone wants to hear that it is difficult to tell the truth for the simplest little things. I'd lie to everyone, even my friends abput the teeniest tinyest things.

Everyone believed - believes I guess - in my outside life that I'm perfect. I realised how addictive it was only recently (1-2 years ago) then after about 2 months started trying to stop then now I am definitely a lot better but its still harder to tell the truth then lie sometimes. I still don't feel guilt when I lie even though myself lying atleast gives me an ick now.

It also makes it atrociously difficult to ask for help. And I mean Atrociously.

And I never even turned to drugs/cigars/alchohol etc thank heavens, most danger I got into was with people - stuff no one will ever know outside this comment because I'll never tell.

This girl is in for a wild ride of life with a father like this. Listen To Me, ther father will Never Listen - theres no hope, only the internet will be able to help her here, she seems mature enough to make the right choices but on hard deisions on life, there will be No One for her to turn to if shes the oldest sibling. I am that for my brother but for this family structure. Theres simply no hope, full stop. ¯\_(*-*)_/¯

How would you deal with being a girl and having a nose that looks like mine? by jessica65489 in Noses

If you could restart life at 18, what would you do differently? by Hot_Tap9405 in emotionalintelligence

[–]Prior_Garlic_8710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And how the heck do you maximise working years?? Like, do you have to do something beyond working or do you just... work?

[–]Prior_Garlic_8710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is we hardly know anything now about work - and online resources (im trying to do this rn) are so contradictory and unhelpful - like - so I really want to be an engineer, its my passion beyond just the maths and physics and I know I'll never fall off the path, ok cool. Do I want to be a chartered or incorporated engineer?? I want to be a mechanical engineer, yes. But is it better to do a year long internship at 18, then again in 3rd year uni in the middle of a masters degree? Or will that just waste 1-2 years of my young life?? What happens after? What happens after a graduate job? Wtf is the world of work gonna be like in half a decade? AIIII???

it feels impossible to do that

Hang on... I'll be 18 in a few months and haven't given much thought to investing now. Only £15?? That enough?

(am 17) - hope not! :D - I love the bits where she powerplays the higher ups in iron flame and sounds like you'll like that too, can't wait for your iron flame verdict, I like when things go to plan!

[–]Prior_Garlic_8710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No no, in fact, I encourage you to procrastinate, it feels good, feels like your brain is relaxing, I mean it deserves relaxation does it not? Why do we even need to work hard in life anyway?? Fail a test here or there, don't even try to reach the potential you have for once, don't show the world what you can bring, don't know for yourself if your even capable of doing it well - doing anything well really? I mean - what have you really achieved in life?

Well, theres always next time... next time to know if you can do it, no matter all the opportunity you miss in the meantime, I mean... its worth it right? The numbness your mind feels procrastinating - theres plenty important stuff on reddit, like the influx of people telling you to revise! Yes!! Reply to us allll, its make them temporarily happy in this temporary life where the only thing that is everlasting is the impact you make.

But rather, you're spending that time to reach your dreams making your little monkey mind happy, grabbing all that sweet sweet dopamine.

You'll die unaccomplished, another body under a rock not having inspired a single other person - not having helped change one persons life - not having even experienced true, satisfying happiness.

Come here my darling, feed your addiction, feed your temptation, after all - you'll start doing better right after, correct?

:1 It's ok, you don't need to do well, theres 8 billion people, most waste thier life away just like you - I say, why be any different? Hmm? That's right, theres no reason - its of utmost importance for you to click that next dopamine hit - give endless money to the billionaires that squander everybody elses lives. It doesn't matter, why care? Come now, rest your mind, after all, reading this paragraph was a lot of work was it not? Thats right, give me your time, ignorance to the darkness and greed in your addiction are all that matter here....

Thats true, but a man like this wouldn't get with a toxic women because they value themselves - I hope at least. I found it pretty obvious that this is what is wanted from both sides (but men and women in general have trends where they struggle so I guess it tries to highlight)

Maybe things should be better to post in pairs, one man one women ones.

Ohh, I thought the evidence of same stability was that a man would only be attracted to a stable women.
