I asked my friend if they could hang out on senior ditch day on Wednesday, they told me they'll let me know on Tuesday. Today is Tuesday and it's currently 8 pm. I reached out to them asked if they're available tomorrow. God I sound like I'm desperate and annoying every time I reach out to someone. kill me.
Hi, I don't have my license yet but I want to go places. I know I'm supposed to go where the bus stops are, but how do I know when the bus is supposed to get to me? Also, how do I stop at my exact location and do I pay with cash to get on? This is my first time ever wanting to use the bus.

Thank you guys for the advice! Today I went to my school to report to the counselor and later on the principal and soon to be principal got involved. At first it was me and my dad, but my mom also had to get involved since she ofc has to know. It went well and the soon to be principal even made a copy of my testimony.
The only thing I didn't like was how my mom had to interrupt by telling everybody how terrible of a teacher he is (which he is). The education part should not be a concern and my dad had to tell her that. Luckily I emailed more incidents to the counselor, the principal and soon to be a few minutes ago.
The result? I'm gonna be homeschooled which isn't a huge deal to me as I only have 5 days of highschool left. I can only attend the campus for my finals and college class. I do not like my school anyways and this is all just makes me happy to hear. Not only will something be done, I can now avoid my shitty classmates.
Also, good news, my dad will consider contacting the authorities if nothing is done about it. And during the meeting, he made it clear to the people that what happened to me requires law enforcement and is something "newsworthy." So, if what happened gets to the news, the school would need to take action as quickly as possible, as it could look extremely bad on them if they were to let it slide.
So yeah, that's my update, and I will make a 2nd update as soon as more stuff comes out.
Edit: Because of what happened, idk if they'll find another teacher, or I need to take this to court against this man if nothing else is done.
Edit 2: I looked it up and it turned out what the teacher did to me was considered an "Athlete butt slap" however I was still uncomfortable, and it should still count as inappropriate as I was still a minor (17).
If so, what is the career like and what are the requirements I need to get on this career path? Also, do forensic accountants usually work at law firms, the FBI, or is it exclusive to any field?
When I was in 11th grade, I went to a marathon with my school teachers. In short one of them slapped my butt, I guess to encourage me? At that moment I was freaked out at first but didn't tell anyone, and I moved on without issue. Now, I finally told my sisters after the teacher has had a history of being creepy towards students. In one incident, he stared at the chest of a 14 year old, their mom reported but nothing was done about it. I'm afraid nothing will happen and I can't help but feel guilty. I don't even know if I'll take legal action as I don't think I'm allowed to. I will report to my dad and then to my school counselor anonymously. And by the way, I go to a small school, so every teacher is friends with each other, including the students, and everybody knows each other. I know nothing will happen but I want something to happen at the same time.
Edit: I don't even know if I could report it or if anything will be done if the incident happened a year ago. No one will believe me and think I'm lying for attention.
Edit 2: Thank you all for the advice! I also have other incidents that should be able to get the counselor concerned about that teacher. I'll list a couple:
What happened to me obviously
A girl in my class, who at the time was 14, was in a virtual meeting. The teacher kept staring at her chest to the point the mom reported the incident. I don't know if the mom recorded what happened but she reported him. The school didn't fire him because it was a mistake on his part and I guess the incident was seen as an accident or unintentional.
In class, he suggested a male classmate of mine become a gigolo (a male prostitute) if he were to become unsuccessful after highschool. I already told my counselor this but I'll tell this to her again.
A girl in my class told me an incident of what he said to the 9th graders while she was present. Her and the 9th graders were playing a game, and the question was "if you were to become an animal, what animal would you be?" The teacher was in the room at the time keep in mind. One 9th grader answered the question and said that they wanted to be a squirrel. When the teacher heard that, he made a weird joke suggesting that the reason the 9th grader wanted to be a squirrel was because they liked people's "nuts" (the teacher was implying that the 9th grader wanted to interact with male genitalia).
Someone told me that he was rubbing a female students shoulders. Id have to confirm this but I'm sure it's real.
He made a conversation inappropriate when students were using the term "glaze". If you don't know glaze is gen z slang for praising someone to an extreme amount. The other term for glaze is semen/ejaculation. This incident was told to me from a classmate. So, the students were using the term glaze, and the teacher overhears it and jumps into their conversation. He decided to make it about himself and told the children how much he wanted to be "glazed" on. Idk if he knew what the term was but the way my classmate told me suggested he knew how "dirty" the word sounded and wanted to fit in with the students.
He and this female student have strange interactions. They are to buddy buddy with each other and she loves him too much. I don't know how to describe it but it's the type of teacher student relationship where both are too comfortable telling stuff that is too personal or something that crosses boundaries. I'll give an example, this student told him that she wanted to put a sticker on his 10 pack abs (he's fat) and he was happy to comply. She didn't actually do it and it was more of a joke, but still, that is really inappropriate for a teacher to not tell them how wrong it is.
I felt uncomfortable around him during tutoring because of how he greeted me. This is probably too minor of an incident but I want to share it anyway. When I had to retake a test he greeted me in a strange way. I forgot to mention he is my teacher. When I sat down he said "Hi, [name] we haven't spoken to each other in a while ~ 😏." I used the emojis because that was how he sounded when he said it to me. I was super uncomfortable, and it got worse when he suggested we do test corrections together or I take it at home, I went with the 2nd option.
I talked to my economics teacher and she knows how notorious my teacher is with being creepy. She told me that one time during a teacher training, they had a quiz on what not to say to a student. The question was "if a student wears a nice dress, what is the correct way to address them?" He answered the question by saying that the hypothetical student "fits really good in that dress" or something like that. My economics teacher during that time was shocked, and her and other staff had to correct him.
My sibling told me that he told a student (who I'm guessing is mostly female) that they had nice lips.
My sibling told me he has a preference for working with the female students than male students. This sounds incredibly suspicious obviously and you should never have a preference for who you prefer teach.
For the question of the day, he wrote "what is your love language?" To a class of 12 graders. I should've took a picture not that I think about it. But he listed the types of love language such as acts of service, physical touch, gifts etc. Nobody, including me, answered the question as it was super weird. I reported it to my English teacher but nothing happened after that.
I'm going to study to become a forensic accountant, what certificate would I need the most to make my future career take off?
Not just turning in late work, I mean how do you fuck up community college so bad that it prevents you form transferring to a university?
I'll be going to community college, I'll try to make friends, but I'd like to do something outside if community college. I want to go somewhere out to make friends y'know? What settings would be recommended so that I'm gauranteed to make friends? I wish I could find friends that are similar to me but I won't find them as much.
I have high functioning depression, and life is currently unfair. I don't want to die but I wish I could just not exist to not deal with what I'm going through. Life won't get better after highschool, I'll still be the same bitter and lonely person. I want to do so much after I graduate but it's all a fantasy. I don't feel motivated enough to do them to make me better than the people I hate. I want this humiliation to end, right now.
So I made a post, about how I want to improve a certain aspect of my life, and this person messaged me asking if I was okay. It was a kind gesture, but later on I low-key felt odd about this dude. I'm 18, and they asked (to clarify I guess) if I just turned 18. Now I was kinda scared, because I had something like this happen before, expect I was underage at the time. So I kinda called them out and questioned if he was trying to hit on me. Obviously, they clarified and said no and that they just wanted to give me more advice since I'm around that age where I do need some guidance. I apologized for assuming and they didn't take offense to it. But, they ruined the conversation as soon as they asked me "screw it, are you single?" I immediately blocked them. Did I do the right thing?
I don't know if the rumors of a 5th season is true, but even so I think the ending to season 4 wrapped everything up perfectly. Maybe I'm just scared of sky bound running the story again, idk that's just me.
Yesterday, a huge argument between the family happened, which resulted in my mom and dad about to divorce soon. This event was painful enough, I do not like my mom, she is emotionally unstable and emotionally abusive at times, but when we made up after the argument, I couldn't help but finally see her but who she is. She is unstable and neglectful, yes, but I see a woman who had a rough upbringing and a hellish life as a mom and wife to a husband and kids who don't love her, and she just wasn't prepared for it all. This realization hit me hard, I'm currently struggling with everything and I get her, it's hard when no one is on your side and you have unresolved mental health issues. Life sucks and it's unfair for the both of us. I pretty much see myself in her and can imagine going through what she has to go through. It's wrong to say this, but my mom put me and my siblings through some stuff, but regardless I'm the only one who still loves her and understands her. I carry guilt for joining in on the argument that resulted in the divorce happening, and I wish it didn't have to be this way. Nothing has happened yet and I'm just worried about what will happen. But I'll say this about my mom just to get this off my chest:
Mom, I'm sorry for all the pain you endured during your childhood, and in current times. I wish you could've experienced a better life than this. I hope you stay safe and find someone who will love you forever. However, I still want to be in your life, with you in mine as well. Even though you've had your moments, I still love you regardless, and you've done your part as a mom. I hope to experience a new beginning with you as your daughter, as I know there will be changes coming. I hope this change results in you finally experiencing happiness and relief from a life you were not ready for, and I will always love you forever no matter what. I love you so much mom, be safe and take care.
I'm 18 (F) and I've been trying to find a part time job, I have applied everywhere. I've used indeed, LinkedIn, and handshake and I can't get hired. I'm currently going through interviews but none have hired me so far. Is there any way to get a job in this economy? What part time job is currently hiring? PLEASE, I am desperate at this point.
My mom always starts an argument for the whole family to endure. I thought this was a typical argument, we all argue and then we go back to normal, and then we argue again, and then we repeat the cycle. She started another argument, but this time it really was THE ARGUMENT that ended it all. My mom being an emotionally unstable/emotionally abusive person began arguing and telling some of us off (some of what she said was true ngl). Then she targeted my older sister, big mistake.
For context, my older sister hates my mom, and my mom began (or always hated) to hate her too because of my sisters inability to get a job and because of her grouchy personality. My mom began to raise her voice, and got in my sisters face, my sister had enough and yelled at her. The had a heated back and forth to the point I bet their neighbors heard us. My mom kept denying that she was a bad mother and that we (including my dad) we're manipulating her. Which was a horrible way to go about it. Then my dumbass decided to go at it as well, because she's not really a good mother or person so I thought this was an opportunity to air it all out. And plus I'm now an adult so I guess I could join in.
So I joined in the argument, and this pissed me off. I really lost it when she told me in front of my family that she read my diary and found out I called her a bitch. She tried to instigate and argument, this times towards me. She said "So you think I'm a bitch?!?! Am I a bitch?!?!" or smth like that. So I simply, out of anger and frustration said "Yes, so what?!?" My older sister is like my mother, and I did the worst thing, I told my mom to her face "my sister is more of a mother than you." And that set her off. Afterwards, my mom got up all of a sudden and ran out the house. Everything was quiet, my dad in all this was defending me and my sisters and was calling out my mom on her bullshit. My dad went to check on her, and came back.
He told us that they are getting a divorce. This broke me. My legs didn't work and my stomach felt horrible. I cried of course and couldn't believe that this is really happening. My parents marriage is incredibly dysfunctional and I'm surprised it took them this long to do it. But I'm so used to them being in this house together that I did not think much of the possibility of them divorcing. Before, I wanted them to divorce but now I guess I got my wish in the worst way possible. But this isn't what I wanted...I just want my parents to get along and we all be a happy family, but that will never happen and it's too late.
Later, my mom came back in the house and went into her room. My dad requested me and my sisters hug her and talk to her and to say our goodbyes I guess. Out of all my sisters, I was the most emotional. My older sister couldn't care less about my mom, my two other sisters are happy, but I'm the only one who has some sympathy for my mom? I can't help but not be cold towards my mom. Yes, she's neglectful and unstable, but at the end of the day, shes my mom. I still love her regardless even though I shouldn't. I went into the room and we bother cried and embraced each other. I kept apologizing to her and told her I didn't mean to hurt her in that way, she surprisingly understood and told me that she knew I was frustrated and angry, and that I t was ok to feel that way. I kept apologizing regardless to make her feel a little better.
I then asked if I could still contact her, and see/visit her. She said yes and told me that right now she just needs space. I know she does, but I'm scared that it means shes going to cut contact with me and abandon me. I still want her in my life. Tommrow she will be leaving, but I also asked if she will be attending my graduation, she said of course and that she'll always be there for me. I feel like the worst. I don't know what will happen or what's gonna happen in the future. I regret everything I said and I wish I could say more to her to let her know that I still love her and tell her understand that she went through a traumatic upbringing. She went through a lot and it is why she is like this. What am I supposed to do in the meantime, and what do I do in the future? I want to ask people who's parents are divorced if it gets better and if y'all maintained a relationship with both parents. I want it all to get better but it won't.
I have a lot to say about this woman, but in short she is annoying and a damn snitch.
I will be graduating highschool and go to community college to transfer to a four year college. I want to major in accounting so I can get a job and earn money to support myself. I've heard the material is hard and will continue to get harder, and that makes me scared that I'll give up and switch to a major I do not want. Intermediate accounting seems extremely hard and idk how I'll survive. Thoughts?
I had a great day today, and I celebrated with friends this time.
