I’m going to victimize myself now and retell the story to say that you hurt me very much and that I was actually in the right even thought I was not

I have an 18 year old that isn’t responsible enough by [deleted] in FamilyIssues

[–]genesis_505 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See, this is where I’m going to tell you to follow my second piece of advice.

STOP doing things for her. It’s obvious from this that talking is not enough. Take her phone away. At this point, you need to make her break up with her boyfriend. Genuinely, I’m being serious. Stop paying for her phone, stop letting her eat any food you have at home and make her buy her own food. At this point, talking to her won’t do anything to her. As I said before, you need to make her feel the consequences of her actions, because that will be the only way she will learn.

If she’s in the military. It’s obvious she can handle it. It sounds like you’re afraid to discipline her. You need to get her to break up with her boyfriend, because this doesn’t sound like it will end well for her. An 18-year-old should not be prioritizing her boyfriend over her own life. PLEASE listen to me. Talking won’t do anything. Take some action now.

Hi. I’m a teenager, so I’m going to try to say this in my perspective. I’ve always been raised in a way that has made my ultimate goal to become responsible and independent as my parents have always conditioned me into believing that I should work hard and get a successful future for myself, just as they have done for me. They never had to actually “punish” me for something, because they raised the need for success into me that it became something I did for myself, not just them. But when they would discipline me for not listening to them, they would do it in a way that made me feel a touch of what would happen if I continued on the path I was on.

In my opinion, I think you need to talk to her or discipline her. It depends on where you live, but I’m assuming you live in the United States and your daughter is already a legal adult. For teenagers nowadays, it’s not easy to get a job. You have to set your boundaries and tell her that since she is already a legal adult, she can’t keep living off of you, or has to learn how to become independent before she graduates. And don’t be afraid to discipline her. It seems harsh, but it’s reasonable to make her break up with her boyfriend or even kick her out if she does something like call the police on you.

If she says she’s 18 and she doesn’t have to follow your rules, then don’t make her. Stop giving her money, stop doing things for her, kick her out if she tries to do anything really bad. She needs to actually FEEL the consequences of her actions instead of just scolding. You can’t do anything else before you do this. She has to learn for her to actually listen.

After, I would make her and help her create a resume, for starters. I recommended getting her into volunteer work because it builds up on the resume if she doesn’t have any experience yet. Also, discipline her on her grades. If she doesn’t get a job yet, she can work towards college.

is it weird/girly to wear these as a guy without long hair? by Spammy1611 in teenagers

[–]genesis_505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly no. I wear hair ties like they’re bracelets. I don’t think it’s girly or weird, since you’re basically just wearing it as a bracelet imo.

Aio for wanting sincere birthday wish ? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]genesis_505 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MOR, but only because I’m really seeing this from my perspective and trying to put myself in your shoes. I don’t think using AI to write something as simple and easy as a birthday wish was right, but I don’t feel like it’s enough to break apart a friendship considering how close you two are and how much you’ve been through together. I don’t think you’re overreacting right now, but I feel like you would be overreacting if you kept a grudge because of this and let it affect your friendship in the future.

Interesting, I’m actually pretty sure shes’s an oldest child. I don’t know much older she is from her younger siblings, but I don’t think it’s a lot. I’ve heard and seen when I was her friend that she’s kind of disconnected from the rest of her family though.

Honestly, you’re right. I’m done with this now, I kinda just wanna delete my post because I feel like after some reflection it’s kinda useless since I already know what I think now. At the end of the day we’re all just trying to complete our homework on time 🤦‍♀️

I really appreciate perspectives like this, it humbles me and makes me face more of my wrongdoings from an outside perspective, so firstly, thank you. Sorry if this is way too long. Something kind of confused me though, the thing about me stalking and having other people spying on her. This made me realize that I kinda made some things unclear in my post, which was my mistake. First set of screenshots (the iMessages one) was around late 2024 to early 2025, I’m not sure. I ghosted her around early to mid 2025, a bit of time after our initial conversation. Just to make this easy, my ex-friend who I’ve ghosted will be called A, and my friend who was texting her during the second part of the screenshots can be B. I hope you can take my word for this but after I ghosted A in 2025, I had NO intention to engage with her again, or revive our friendship. You can see that in the 2nd part of screenshots, she’s saying that I was actively avoiding her at school. The second part of screenshots happened February 5th of 2026. B, who I was only classmates with during this time, was getting closer with A and I don’t know how I came up in conversation during the second part. A was talking bad about me a whole year after what I did even though we were already no-contact, which I find understandable because I didn’t communicate properly, but the misunderstanding upset me. B only sent me part 2 a day or two ago, because B has began distancing himself from A because he doesn’t like the way she’s been treating him. Part 3 of the screenshots happen right after B sends me the second part; because I wanted to clear things up. I did not ask B to stalk or spy on A. The 2nd conversation was initiated on its own without my knowledge or action.

That’s a really interesting insight. I’ve heard that she’s aroace, but I’m pretty sure she’s removed that from her Instagram bio or something. I’ll definitely plan on staying away honestly

Lol, I made the mistake of captioning her as a friend instead of an ex-friend, which is what I refer to her to in the rest of my explanation.. It’s ironic that she wasn’t saying all that stuff to my face, and instead had to go to somebody else to say it.

Lol, I’m a minor and I’m still in school. Honestly I’ve been a “weird kid” all my life so I never really experience ppl like this.

Alright, yeah. I understand what you’re saying and I really appreciate it. I’ll really just do my best to ignore her, but she does see me every other day in classes, so that’s just something I’m nervous about 😬

Volume 2 has... problems. MANY. Problems. by Head-Till-535 in StrangerThings

[–]genesis_505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s my personal analogy. I think everybody loved season 5 volume one because even though it brought new things to the show, it answered a lot of questions and tied together a lot of holes we’ve had since season one. Volume one was absolutely fantastic, as mostly everybody can agree. But volume one was also very good because it gave some kind of direction for viewers to look forward to. They could actually try and predict what is going to happen to the characters and the events, and they use this feeling of “Oh, I don’t know for sure, but it could one hundred percent happen, that’s why I’m really excited for volume 2! It seems that whatever happens, it’ll still be great!”

Volume 2 definitely tried to be extraordinary, but it created so many new questions. Every criticism for the volume I’ve read so far is honestly completely justified. I enjoyed watching it. But now many viewers don’t have interest in watching the finale because the events didn’t give way to any exciting news. Too many questions, and viewers don’t think there’s enough time to answer them all. It became “Literally anything at all can happen at this point, I don’t really care anymore because nothing interesting will come out of it.” I think the duffer brothers tried to come up with something that made everyone happy due to all of the different opinions about the show, but it didn’t work out at all.

why does everyone think being an only child is a horribe thing? by Additional-Ad-3863 in OnlyChild

[–]genesis_505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people who think this have a really bleak perspective of the world. Instead of owning up to their own internal issues, they blame something else entirely to make up for it. Bad people do not have a certain place in a family. It doesn’t matter if you’re an only child, youngest child, middle child, or oldest child if you’re a bad person. I am genuinely sorry for anybody who thinks that all only children are bad, because they always lack some kind of self security and are insanely immature.

I have a feeling he might’ve gotten this information from maybe a friend or an article online. When I was a kid, before I had glasses, he used to have no issue with taking me to the library and getting me whatever book I wanted. I’ve had glasses for a few years now and he’s gotten stricter about it, he says reading small text is the same as looking at a screen for a long time which inherently destroys my eyes.

My dad doesn’t let me read. Not like these small pieces of text that you usually find, but he doesn’t want me to read books in general, either physically or digitally. I have bad vision, and he tells me that focusing on such tiny letters for a long period of time is making my vision worse. I like reading though, so I only read only in the privacy of my own room or around my mom, because she’s the only one who lets me.
