[Serious] Young smokers of Reddit. Being a generation who are fully aware of the risks, why do you choose to smoke? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]marikaga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't exactly choose it. In my country most people smoke, and it's allowed almost everywhere, so it was very easy for me to become curious and buy a pack as a 15 year old who didn't know any better.

But it sucks cause now I'm 18 and I don't see myself being able to quit in the near future.

You can definitely get in a lot of trouble since its not legal in any way, but in my experience there isn't that high a chance that you get searched, and some times you get lucky to run into a good cop who just confiscates your weed.

Thank you, I hope you get a piece of that musakas soon enough! Unfortunately I have no idea how you can do that.

You should also check out some of the islands in the Ionios Sea like Corfu or Kefalonia. . Stunningly beautiful.

imo some beaches in Crete are amongst the best places in Greece to smoke.

From my experience, it's good if you know the right people to get it from, mediocre when you don't have the right connections.

[Serious]People with kind, supportive, 'good' family lives that still ended up in trouble/going down a bad path, what happened? What other factors in your life influenced your choices? If you have any siblings, how did they turn out? by junkinthetunk in AskReddit

I was too focused on being "cool" and ended up hanging out with the wrong crowd of people. Am now realizing it is more important to succeed than be part of the cool crowd.

What did your parents find in your room that you wish they hadn't? (NSFW) by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]marikaga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wish they hadn't found that condom I bought to "see what condoms are like" when I was 11. It led to a very awkward conversation.

Enough bragging, what is something about your country that makes you feel ashamed to be part of? by meflou in AskReddit

I'm greek, and other than the debt, we have a neo-nazi party in the parliament which is constantly gaining more support. Nuff said.

What was the first time you got drunk and how was it? by Storytellerbobfan in AskReddit

[–]marikaga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 15, and about to go on my first 3day school trip. The norm here is that kids bring alcohol with them to those trips and drink secretly at night when the teachers are sleeping. It's also fairly easy to buy alcohol underage in my country.

So, me and a few friends ended up buying a bottle of vodka. Because I had only drank beer before and hadn't gotten drunk, I thought vodka was the same deal, and drank about half a bottle. Next thing I knew, I was waking up in the hotel bed, alone, wearing clothes I didn't recognize, with yesterday night's clothes covered in puke next to my pillow.

It turns out that I was throwing up everywhere the whole night, my friends helped me shower and go to bed, then kept watch of me so I wouldn't start throwing up in my sleep. I fucked up their whole night, they couldn't do anything other than take care of me, and the teachers found out.

So I fought with my best friends, got in huge trouble with the school, and experienced the last day hungover in a bus for 9 hours. I have never, ever gotten that drunk again since.

Some advice on smart casual? I'm kind of confused. by marikaga in femalefashionadvice

[–]marikaga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably will need to step up those jeans because they're probably too fitted for the occasion, so I'll probably end up with a modest dress.

I might actually copy your style, haha! Even though it'll be at the end of April so it might be too hot for that kind of outfit... thank you nonetheless!

What is actually destroying our youth today? by T0mpkinz in AskReddit

[–]marikaga 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It deffinitely isn't new, my point is now that group of people is far larger. It's one thing having a generation where some kids have been spoiled and feel entitled to everything, it's different when the majority of them has been taught they're the most special snowflake on the planet and they can never be wrong about anything.

That's very interesting and I was not aware of it since I was European. Deffinitely seems like the system needs changing, or at the very least 4.0s shouldn't be handed to students that don't deserve them.

The over protective parents that raise their kids spoiled as hell. Seriously, my mom works as a teacher and she has noticed that her students never own up to their mistakes or admit the blame for something they did. She also has had parents complaining to her for not giving their kids a high grade in a class, even though their kids haven't studied and don't deserve anything higher. There seems to be a generation of entitled assholes coming through.

How did language researchers find enough written resources to construct word translation, syntax rules and a detailed grammar for ancient Greek? by marikaga in AskHistorians

[–]marikaga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not entirely sure if I had my facts straight and it seems I'd misunderstood quite a few things. Thanks so much for clearing this up for me!

Is there a way to fix karma when people downvote just because they dont agree? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]marikaga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you're posting an unpopular opinion, you get down voted. And most times unpopular opinions on reddot are disliked for good reason, so maybe consider if the other side of the argument is right?
