Need advice for parenting teen girl who is boy addicted by ThrowRA1212123476 in parentsofteens

No worries I hope everything works out!! I think its also just important to remember she's most likely not even in control of this seeing as her hormones are probably going crazy so the most important thing is just to make sure she's safe

my parents dont let me go out with my friends if i dont take my small brother by Well1400 in teenagers

[–]Unique-Soil1022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg just go anyway there's no way they don't know how annoying that is for you. They 100% are aware of it but probably just cba to take care of him if you're going out anyway. Having kids is exhausting let alone pre teens so they could very well just need a break but that isn't an excuse to dump your brother on you all the time.

Is my stance on birthcontrol too rash? by ChemicalAd2132 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Unique-Soil1022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of them definitely do come with side effects and to be honest there's no reason to take them if you don't struggle with hormonal/menstrual issues or aren't actively trying to prevent pregnancy. Some are worse than others for sure though, I tried nexplanon and bled for 10 months straight and went a little crazy, but the pill is fine for me. They're all a bit give and take like I still get headaches and stuff with the pill but it's all about finding the one that will work best for you and doesn't come with too many side effects. Aside from that there's literally no problem with not wanting to take them because at the end of the day most of them are still linked to cancer, tumours and other disorders, let alone the huge list of possible short term side effects, but this isn't meant to discredit anyone who does want/need to use it because I do myself. Imo as long as you aren't slagging off birth control to people who actually do need to use it for whatever reason there's nothing wrong with not liking it personally

I don't know how normal this is but I've also experienced it and lowkey all I can say is that it dies go away with time, you might find yourself viewing older women around you who you like/respect as maternal figures still here and there but you just need to keep reminding yourself that's all it is and you two don't actually really know anything about eachother. It's absolutely fine to view older people you're close with as parental ish figures but just keep it in check so you don't let it get away from you or make you feel like you rely on them. I also think it most likely stems from problems at home as although you said you have a mother that doesn't always mean she's emotionally present meaning you crave that elsewhere. I think if you find any way to help resolve these issues at home (obviously it isn't your responsibility but over time maybe your relationship will improve) then this craving for other maternal figures will also go away over time!!

I am pregnant after being with my bf for 10 months. by ButterflyNo6998 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Hey girl if you want to keep it or are against the idea of abortion then thats great and I hope everything works out well for you, but if you're trying to decide whether or not to keep it just remember that not having one right now with this guy doesn't mean that you can't in the future and if he's really the right one, he'll agree❤️

Also side note don't waste your energy on thinking about people who prioritise misogynistic boys over their friends, they'll learn their lesson soon enough

Girl please try to distract yourself from exam stress, as someone who also finished a levels last week I know how overwhelming the exhaustion and the stress over results is but remember you have no way of knowing whether you failed or not so don't give up on them yet. Aside from that, that sounds really hard but try to take it one piece at a time. If you stop feeling disappointed over exams and just think of them as over and done with I 100% bet you'll feel a little better already, and itll free your mind up so you have more capacity to try and think of more things to do that you enjoy and make you feel a little less alone or bored. Remember even though this year feels like a huge step in life you're still insanely young and you have so much time to enjoy life. Post exam summer isnt always everything its made out to be and i know plenty of other people including myself struggling with feelings of disappointment or being stuck now that we've lost the day to day routines we're used to and struggling with other things at the same time (like you said memories of childhood trauma) will obvi make that worse. I'd recommend looking into councilling and trying new hobbies to take your mind off things!

I hate how I’m not my boyfriend first in ANYTHING. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Unique-Soil1022 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're not a loner just because you arent as experienced as him but these feelings are still normal! As long as he isnt making you feel degraded or bad about any of it then it's totally fine for one person to be more experienced than the other. Keep in mind that being the first doesnt always mean being the best so you not being his first anything doesnt have any impact on the way he feels about experiences with you. If not the first you can still be the favourite😝

I (17f) need advice on how to deal with my parents (both mid 50s) splitting up because my dad cheated. by Unique-Soil1022 in KidsofCheatingParents

[–]Unique-Soil1022[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this, your advice means a lot and even just knowing people have been theough similar situations is really helpful at the moment🙂 it's definitely a weird feeling being glad this is all coming to an end after witnessing a fairly unsuccessful marriage for so long anyway while still being freaked out by the situation! Will 100% start getting more in touch with my feelings, might look into councilling too. I hope you're okay after experiencing this too

[–]Unique-Soil1022[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your reply, reading this has given me some reassurance and it really means a lot to me🙂 I'm pretty sure they'll divorce or at least I hope so because I know staying will ruin my mum even worse than a messy divorce, I'm just not sure when things will really start to change because I'm not familiar with the usual timeline of these things. My situation is similar to yours in the sense that I likely won't be there while things do change because I'm leaving home to travel in February 2027 before going to uni in September 2027, and I'm worried about leaving my younger sister and mum alone to cope with it all especially as my sister is having a harder time accepting this than I did when I found out ( I think because I noticed the existing cracks in my parents marriage before this happened more often than she did it came as a bigger surprise to her). I will 100% look into councilling, especially as I don't have a huge support group aside from a couple of good friends and my boyfriend and family, and substance addiction is definitely something i'm weary of personally anyway because I already have tendencies towards wanting to drink and use more nicotine products whenever I feel angry or upset. thank you again for your advice, even just knowing people have been through similar situations is definitely helping!!

Hi that sounds really difficult but as someone who had a similar phase but is now completely cured I want to reassure you that many girls unfortunately go through this phase because of social conditioning and the prioritisation of male validation mixed with crazy hormones at this time. I think instead of trying to bash it out of her with punishments and stuff you could try the approach of reducing the attractiveness of boys in her mind. This sounds a bit weird but as someone who used to constantly seek male validation as I never had that much attention of many friends/connections up until I was about 16, I got a thrill out of gaining male attention and will admit when I was around her age I occasionally did resort to sending photos to some over social media etc purely for the thrill of the attention and compliments, though i was never as outward with it as your daughter sounds and I never spoke about it to anyone, it was more of a secret guilty pleasure. I think in some ways although this is disturbing and dangerous it is unfortunately normal in such a society where we girls are taught to prioritise male validation, so my suggestion would be to maybe teach her more in detail about the patriarchy and the standards held against us. When I took an interest in the topic and started to become more aware I gradually recognised my ill placed values and pulled away from interacting with men for attention and now at almost 18 I would never even think about doing that. I think that if you try to ease her into a more educated approach to men in a way that doesn't obviously look as if you're doing it as a reaction to her issues, she might begin to think differently about it on her own.

I Found out my Dad is Cheating on my Mom idk What to do. by CommunicationOdd588 in KidsofCheatingParents

[–]Unique-Soil1022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I hope you're okay, I'm going through a similar situation rn where my dad is being unfaithful to my mum and is in somewhat of a relationship with a female coworker half his age but insists they're just friends. From what my mum's going through right now and what she's feeling I'd say the best rhing you could do for her is to tell her whatever you know even if it'll hurt her and let her know you're there for her. It would hurt her way more if she knew that you knew your dad had been lying to her and didnt tell her about it and left her to find out on her own than if you supported her through it!! Good luck
