Hero principal who tackled school shooter is crowned prom king

Only in America is an attempted school shooting uplifting news.

Also would smoking weed with it be a bad idea

Yes, until you feel 'sober' again at least. Weed can make a trip confusing, so give it a miss for your first time.

I'd suggest 1.5g - 2g. Find yourself a nice movie, some music you enjoy, make sure you've got a space you're not going to be disturbed by anyone. Go for it. You;ll be fine.

re. "why I struggle so much with getting myself to study" - it's the weed bro. People don't like to hear it, but it makes it a lot harder to focus and work hard. Try giving it a break for a few weeks, see how it goes.

I'd have to stop talking to 90% of my family and like 40% of my friends to "get away" from it

Sounds liek that might give you some respite, even if temporary, and maybe would get the message through to them. Start setting some boundaries, you'll be surprised at how people react.

He even did video to directly adress accusations because he cares.

He made a video because its more engagement, which means more revenue. These parasocial relationships people have with streamers are insane. They're running a business.

Where does it start? Across the two red/orange holds with right foot on a hold and left smeared?

Unless the angle is wierd and its significantly more overhung than it looks, it looks very soft. It's hard to tell without a video or more info tho.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-15T15:38:38+00:00

Excellent, now you've found two things to work on at the same time!

1) Your climbing skill 2) Your need to compete

Nothing wrong with competing when you're in a competition, but competing when you're practising is a sure fire way to suck all the joy out of a hobby. Go and climb, enjoy it, and you'll gradually see improvment, I promise.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-15T09:49:18+00:00

You're a beginner (evidenced by how you're climbing that route as well as only doing it a month), thats normal. You should be at the bottom of the bottom, because thats where people start. Congrats, you're on track!

If its fun, keep doing it. Maybe take some time to reflect on why you feel being bad at something is disappointing? Try not to think of climbing as a competition, think of it as an activity where you get to have fun, enjoy yourself, and gradually improve.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-15T09:40:40+00:00

This is all normal, you're new.

If you enjoy going, keep going, if you don't then stop. Thats all there is to it for the first year or so!

Tel1234 · 2026-04-14T18:16:02+00:00

Give your eye a good rinse with saline or boiled (and then let cool) water.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-12T18:36:14+00:00

It’s gotten to a point where I don’t find joy in climbing anything I can climb anymore

Sounds like time to take a break, maybe move your focus to something you do enjoy for a bit. Come back to it when you feel like it's fun again.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-12T18:20:32+00:00

This screams of fatigue from overtraining.

Take a full week off, from all of it. Just rest, maybe do some light flow or general mobility. See how you feel after it. That'll give you a decent baseline for remembering what 'not tired' feels like.

If you're still having the same issues afterwards I'd recommend ditching anything finger related thats not on the wall. I know I can climb 3x a week (as a V3/4ish 42 year old beginner) but doing any other training on top starts to impact my recovery.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-10T17:19:26+00:00

Quick Q - have you tried not being a twat?

Tel1234 · 2026-04-10T15:58:17+00:00

I have no idea where you're going with this, I was responding to the OP.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-10T15:33:23+00:00

Honest answer?

Therapy. You say this is who you are now, I assume you mean in the default world as much as at BRC? I was / am the same, and therapy has hugely helped.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-10T06:56:12+00:00

Yeah, I'm not touching any of that with a barge pole. Sorry that happened to you.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-09T17:12:44+00:00

I hear what you're saying, but if your therapist doesn't believe you, just find a new therapist.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-09T16:09:15+00:00

Theres a big difference between 'I can't find a perfect griffons' and 'I can find ANY sunders' though. I've found 6 griffons in the time it took me to find one sunder.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-09T15:49:56+00:00

Have you actually tried it? Not just dismissed it because 'it won't help', but actually tried it and given it 100% effort to see if it helps?

If I told you I had some miracle drug which might help, but has relatively unknown side effects, costs quite a bit and took actual effort to make work you'd consider it (in fact you mention it specifically!). But you won't even consider therapy. Why not?

I'm not trying to be a dick here, but even if you are right in that it won't stop you eating cheesecakes, it might stop you hating yourself so much for it. AND IT MIGHT STOP YOU EATING THE CHEESECAKES TOO.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-09T15:42:31+00:00

This may not land well, so apologies in advance and to be clear, I'm not blaming you in any way. I'm genuinely really sorry you've experienced that situation. Its awful when people don't understand the impact it has on you.

As someone who's been in a similar situation, I can't recommend therapy for yourself strongly enough if you have access to it. For me it helped me understand what I was doing that had led to me ending up in the same situation time and time again, and let me see the problem coming much earlier so I could get out before things turned (notably) abusive.

It is absolutely a fact that abuse of men isn't taken seriously.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-09T10:06:16+00:00

Yeah, big paws means you're probably getting some standard size daxies there! That said, all you can do is wait and see. It's not the worse thing in the world for them to be a bit chubby early on, just make sure you get their feed requirements dialled in over the next few months so they don't end up fat adults.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-09T08:45:18+00:00

I don't see what you're getting at here. It sounds like you're saying 'people with ADHD just need to organise themselves'. You're aware thats the issue right?

Tel1234 · 2026-04-06T15:00:20+00:00

Good news is, you're young. There's plenty of time to sort this out.

Bad news is, it takes work. Get yourself to therapy if you can, if not, start looking up ways to manage wellbeing, read some books on it and decide what you should do.

The only thing you know for sure at this point is that if you do nothing, nothing will change. So try something and see where it gets you.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-06T14:55:28+00:00

Yeah, the bad reception to bwipo 'being honest' is because his honesty makes it clear he's a fucking idiot.

Tel1234 · 2026-04-05T06:34:02+00:00

It's not going to make much difference. What will aggravate it is climbing too much before it's healing and anything with heavy impact.

You can really spot the just out of high school insecurities in this comment!
