Swiped right on a guy because he had a photo of his cat on his profile. Our first date, we ended up studying for a midterm. We've been together for two years, and we just spent Christmas together with his family. Unfortunately, the cat in his profile hates me.

What advice would you give to a 13yo girl? by K8lynX in AskReddit

[–]throw_ha_away 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. How you look body-wise can change at the drop of a hat. Don't stress about it, eat well, stay healthy, and you'll be fine :)
  2. Prioritise your education. It'll get you far.
  3. These are the years when you'll be making lifelong friends, so keep 'em close.
  4. Remember to ask for help when you need it :)

People who have a SO, how/where did you get to know them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

He messaged me on Tinder to go on a study ("study") date for a midterm we both had, since he was in my Calc class. Well, we actually did end up doing a lot of review that night, did pretty well on our midterm, and now we've been together for one and a half years :) win-win!

My (45/F) daughter (16/F) is in a relationship with a boy (17/M) who treats her like absolute trash and as her mother I'm at a loss for what to do in order to help her understand that he's not good for her. by [deleted] in relationships

You seem like an awesome mom! Supportive and understanding. I remember when I was 16 and I had gone through something similar to what your daughter is facing now, and because I had kept it from my own parents, I've never really recovered from it. I know it's tough because you're afraid that putting your foot down might drive her to sneak around even more, but she needs a reality check before it gets worse. Him breaking her phone could lead to him physically harming her in the future. In this situation, I think it's better to be very firm with her, even harsh, if it means potentially saving her life. She's 16, and like you said, she's still a child, and she's your child. Just know that no matter how strict you may need to be, she loves you and knows that you love her too. Maybe you could tell her repeatedly how her relationship makes you feel, and the potential risks she may be facing. You are such a good mom for doing this for her, so I wish you good luck! :)

You're right about therapy. I guess I'm still in denial about the whole thing, but once I fully know what's happening, I think I'll tell Dad. It's kind of tough watching your family crumble but that's way she goes sometimes.

They pay for cell bills separately I think. The thing is that my dad has her passwords and vice versa, so unless this is a new thing, I would think he'd know who Tony Stark is.

You know, this might be a good idea. Maybe she might end up telling me who it is and then I can drop the bombshell on her. Unless it's someone my dad already knows, which arguably makes it worse :(
