I have a friend who's fairly rich and has everything. Me on the other hand im poor and I really don't know what I can buy her. We've been best friends for 6 years and in the previous years I've given her dresses shoes posters, and shes never seemed to use them.

Now her birthday is coming and my budget has fallen even more, all I can afford is temu dresses that I KNOW she doesn't want, I want to put effort and make her something myself but her birthday is right before a big exam. I fear I wouldn't find the time.

Pls drop some recommendations what I can buy her or what can I make her that wouldn't take some time but would be thoughtful?

I know this is crazy, very crazy, and probably every teenager thinks of this. I'm almost finishing highschool, one year left until I start university. The degree im planning to do is veterinary medicine, which is quite an expensive one as that degree requires specializing and expensive equipment and what not.

Ive been looking into a lot of university options, cheaper ones too, but i feel nothing would work until I get a very good scholarship, which is ofcourse not promised. I have a gpa of 3.7.

I'm really thinking of finding a way to earn money, so I can save some and open opportunities for me. But I live in gulf countries, where opportunities for women are very narrow. I'm also not Arab which makes it even harder for me, as I don't speak their language.

In my mind, I have thought if I can't get any kind of job, what are some things I can do online to earn money.

I do think I have some kind of artistic talent, I can do a little of everything, but I'm just out of practice, I feel with some time of hardwork, I can be very good at anything, but i have no idea where to start, or how doing or selling something will work.

I know it sounds dumb and honestly very impossible, but anything would be so helpful.

If I don't save up money, Im probably gonna have to take a gap year, have to do math and then get into any kind of engineering, but that's just not my passion, and I'm willing to work hard for my veterinary degree.

Any kind of advice, or idea, honestly works for me, as I just need an idea and a starting push.

For instance, I'm in highschool. My mom has 4 children, I'm the 3rd one, I have a younger sister after me. My oldest sister, 10 years older than me, grew up fat, eating disorders, what not. Me, grew up fat, eating disorders, bad relationship with food, what not, thankfully now I'm building a good relationship myself by watching some tips on TikTok and have currently list 8 kgs in a month.

Now my younger sister is 10. I'm 5,8 and she comes till my neck level, so I'm guessing she must be 5,3 or 5,4. Shes tall for her age and weighs 47 kg (almost a 100 lbs). She does not look fat at all, and growing up she was called weak and thin, cus she, surprise surprise, also had problems with food and was very picky, wouldn't eat anything except rice.

But these days, my mom has started calling her fat, she eats better now, but she isn't fat, maybe chubby around the stomach or arm area, but she's a child, that's how children are, otherwise, her bones are poking out of her body, she's not fat and I don't want her to think she is.

She is very young and as I'm getting older I'm realizing my parents abuse, that's the reason all their children are miserable. My younger sister is very very insecure, too insecure for a child, today the whole day my mom and dad have been calling her fat, cus her favorite dish was made for dinner and she ate more than usual. They pointed towards me and said this is how you're gonna end up, starving to get your weight down (I'm not starving, that's what they like to think cus they don't have answers to how I'm losing my weight rapidly in a healthy manner)

She got so insecure she got up, went to her room, put on some YouTube exercise videos, and just started exercising in such a hot weather without a fan or AC. I went in and hugged her, told her mom is fat herself she's just jealous, I know I shouldn't have said that, but I didn't know how to stop her from being insecure and getting exhausted from exercising.

I don't want her to end up like me and my older sister, hating our bodies and becoming toxic with food, and I keep realizing this is all my parents doing.

Sorry for yapping a lot, my point is, how do I make her feel less insecure, make her have a healthy relationship with food and her body, and how to make her ignore my parents comments. Pls help, I don't want her ending up hating her life too, like my other siblings do. I didn't mention my brother, but he's 6 ft and underweight, but also has an overeating problem.

So my(17F) family is not that financially comfortable. We live on one salary, and I have 4 siblings. But it's always been my dream to get out of my country and go abroad to study. I have a 3.6 gpa, and my annual budget is like 10k something dollars for tuition only, which is very less I know.its a pathetic budget.

I looked into some options, I want to study veterinary medicine (DVM) and my top picks are 1) china 2) Malaysia and 3) Pakistan. But frankly, I'm not so happy or willing to take the third option. I really need some other students opinions who were in a similar position as me, in what countries or what universities would I be able to go??

I know veterinary medicine can be very expensive, that's why I do have a plan B, which is taking an engineering degree that would be more affordable for me. But for now, I really need help on where i can go and what places would be best for me. Also Ill be happy if I get a nice scholarship, that is why I need opinions of other students who've went through similar situations, what country or university might suit my situation?

I'm 17 and now looking at my options for various places. Georgia suits me alot, I can afford it and my friends have mentioned to be some details and how they want to go to Georgia too. I have a gpa of 3.7 and I was born and raised in gulf countries.

Ofcourse I know no place is perfect, but I've heard that Georgia can be somewhat unsafe.. I'm Pakistani, and I was told I can come across some dorm issues and what not. I was also told by some people drvgs and g@ngs will be common especially around university.

Ofcourse these things are normal in other countries too, but I've been told students in Georgia are affected most by it. Racism or harassment from Georgian natives, like a group of teenagers. I have been told these stories constantly and ofcourse I don't believe them, that's why I want to ask people who are studying there, is it safe for me 17F to go to Georgia to study alone? Are these things common. And if so, what is the best direction for me to go, should I choose Georgia. For context I'm doing veterinary medicine.
