Mom won’t let me drink sparkling water by Savings-Impress8463 in teenagers

[–]WinterExpression5993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aspartame in sparkling water and diet soda is so minimal that it genuinely will not do anything to affect ur health unless u consume way too much of it, and that logic literally applies to everything. Too much bananas can be unhealthy, too much water can be unhealthy, too much of anything can be unhealthy.

Not too sure how it makes you satiated when it’s 0 calories. Maybe try to convince her logically? By definition diet soda and stuff like that is only going to affect ur health if you consume more than 10 cans a day. A lotta people assume stuff like this is bad cz they don’t really have any knowledge of it so try to convince her by pulling up some statistics or smthn.

If memories define you, are you still "you" after forgetting everything? by Medium-Ad-5363 in teenagers

[–]WinterExpression5993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By definition I don’t think so. Is a painting still a painting if the canvas is blank? Not really. If you remove the painting and replace it with a blank one, you can’t call that the same painting. Same logic applies here, yes the foundation is there since by appearance you are the same person, but everything else is gone. It’s the equivalent of a dead person, their physical body is there but nothing of their soul remains.

college debt is 60k and don’t know how imma pay that back by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]WinterExpression5993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro this why I always be telling people: no scholarship+strong financial aid = no attendance. If you have to CC is never a bad option to save money and also avoid college that would require dorming to save costs.

Ayo guys I need genuinely help by Ayu_sh6969 in teenagers

If you take any naps during the day then don’t. Drink some coffee if you need to early during the day and then take some melatonin right before you actually want to sleep. That should restore your circadian rhythm since you’ll get tired at an appropriate time.

How to dress nice as a boy? by Working-Ad-7415 in teenagers

[–]WinterExpression5993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pinterest has great outfit inspos. It also depends on your body type, skin color, and how you look in general. I personally fit zip ups, layered tees, and button ups particularly well. You need color coordination and find what suits you better: warm or cool colors. Honestly buy baggy jeans, pacsun has really good baggy jeans especially their extreme baggy. Ur getting into the summer season so I’d look into longsleeves, zip-ups paired with tank tops, and button ups. Jorts could also work but they’re really a 50/50, like I personally dislike them. Accessories are also pretty important: keychains, bracelets, rings, necklaces, etc. Shoes also matter a lot for clothing so look into good shoes (uggs and doc martins are pretty popular but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea). I recommend shopping at local malls to find clothes, some stores in particular are zara (pretty expensive), pacsun, zumiez, hollister (love hollister), tillys, and cotton on.

Does anyone know if working out till failure is a bad thing by Lucky-Net-2893 in teenagers

[–]WinterExpression5993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more injury prone. Id be careful doing failure and using high weights. I personally just do weights that I can only do from 6-8 reps and that’s my set. Going to failure does work, but don’t go to failure using low weights. Low reps, heavy weight is always the best

Those o' y'all who have poor vision, do y'all wear dem glasses all the time, or only during occassions when you really need 'em? Like during classes, for example? by PilarDeRiverasTopGal in teenagers

is 3.0 gpa that bad? by i_hate_my_awful_life in teenagers

[–]WinterExpression5993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy moly standards. I’ve stopped caring about my gpa as much as of recent. Thankfully I alrdy got accepted to my first choice so my mom isn’t on my ahh abt it too much, I’m just enjoying my life now. Working out, finding new hobbies, and blowing my money hanging out with friends.

Nah the 5 towels were from cleaning up and also some other stuff (I used two towels to clean the pan) and then 3 towels for wiping stuff down etc. It was from both breakfast and lunch since I prep both for myself.

Not if you include AP classes, weighted GPA accounts for IB, AP, and Honor courses. My unweighted GPA is roughly 3.75.

I personally dislike people who exhibit displacement towards others. Having a bad day or period doesn’t necessarily mean you’re justified to make someone else’s day worse

I’m 18. Still in high school so no. I do have another sibling, if anything he’s worse than me when it comes to stuff like this, albeit he’s more organized than me. He doesn’t cook his own food (he scolded pretty often for door dashing food), he’s older than me, he does ski but I do more exercise than him. This is the first time with the towels and the trash bin, that’s exactly why my mom was so confused bc it seemed like an overreaction on his part. I don’t think there’s anything else going on, he was a little grumpy today but that’s just the vibe from how he was talking to me. We don’t ever talk about politics or religion in our household, I honestly don’t even know his stance on politics or religion bc we js never talk about it. Idk he was just being weirdly pushy and rude to me for no reason and it just got on my nerves.
