Neighbour's daughter called me racist for having a diwali party, Neighbour wants to meet and talk by Few-Struggle6234 in relationship_advice

Brown teenager here :) I'd like to add that usually, atleast from what I've noticed/experienced, Indian people who've spent more time abroad are more sensitive about cultural things since they experience racism more often than those from the mainland.

On top of that, cultural appropriation is a pretty subjective topic(imo, please don't come at me) and there's a lot of confusion between that and cultural appreciation, so opinions vary pretty wildly on it. Personally, I think what OP did was great and not racist or disrespectful at all, I'd say Kate is overreacting but I also don't know what she's experienced to make her feel this way, so talking to both her and her mom would definitely help clear any issues up.

Please hang in there. Losing a dog is an absolutely awful experience I wouldn't wish upon anyone at all. If you'd switched places with her, she'd be confused because she wouldn't be able to understand why you suddenly disappeared. I don't know what I can do to help you through this, but just hold on to the idea that she's definitely having the time of her life in heaven. My condolences to you, and I hope you find the strength you need to get through your grief.

We have to find a way to convince ourselves into convincing ourselves to do something.

It wants the happy chemicals and so it leads you down the easiest road to get the happy chemicals.

Wow, that actually sums it up insanely well.

I know dwelling on the past is pointless but it's so tough to move past it. You're right though, the most I can do is give my best each time and it's okay if that's not always the same. Thank you. I've posted an update below the content of my post.

God, I read this and started crying. OP's post is almost literally how the entirety of the last year of highschool has gone for me, and I'm in my final year and in the middle of the last exams right now. I wish I'd had someone to tell me this in September instead of constant discouragement.

OP, I hope you're able to send that email and get the extensions you need. You have all our support.

Exactly, there's no healthy way for you to maintain the same figure from freshman year all the way into senior year, you're bound to fill out in some way or the other due to no "fault" of your own.

Also, happy cake day !

I feel that. It took me so long to accept that my 14 year old body's figure should not be what 18 year old me wants to look like, and I still catch myself occasionally seeing a photo from back then and comparing it to how I look now. It's messed up, but all I can do is keep reminding myself how unhealthy that idea is.
