To just smile, context, I was really depressed. Gee thanks for the dumb advice, smiling doesn’t help depression at all.

Smiling has been proven to release neuropeptides, which release happy mood chemicals. It's not a long term solution, but it works if you're in a funk :) Remember to seek help and reach out to your confidants if you're feeling down :) I wish you the best.

    Here’s some sh**ty advice. “That men are stupid and useless.” First off we aren’t useless. Second, why the f**k do you think that were all stupid. Third, we work our asses off to provide and care for the family. Fourth, we aren’t all bad and we do care. Fifth, 90% of the time we ain’t the problem. Finally, being a man is ok as long as it isn’t toxic. Idc if I get downvoted, I’m doing what the post is titled.

    If there is an emergency at school, like a school shooting or real life fire, you can’t be in your phone. It must be in your bag. You text your parents and say”check the school website im gonna die” that’s all ur supposed to do. He’s my opinion. FCK that SHT. No way. I’m calling my parents and getting the hell outta there. That’s stupid.

    "Just don't react to bullies, they will go away if you don't react." While this is true to some degree, reacting will *sometimes* make them learn a lesson and quit doing it, confronting bullies works sometimes.

    I have done so much research on this, being a 12 year old and studying phycology from real textbooks, articles, my own theories and experiences, and people of all ages point of view. This wont work almost 90% of the time. Many people tend to bully to get attention from somebody, ignoring them is going to make them try harder to get attention meaning they will either keep going or even do worse things, you need to show them that the attention they will get by bullying is negative, so you should tell someone who has control over their consequences and will make the consequence a certain amount depending on what's necessary and fair (legal guardian, teacher, principal, administrator, etc) but also dont handle it yourself, because that makes the consequence also negative for you.

    When I saw the ask, I came here wondering if this had been entered yet. Letting bullies get away with bullying just lets them escalate and then people are looking around and wondering at what happened to "such a nice person." Who was really "going places."

    I'm sure alot of women, especially 30+ that don't have or want kids can relate to unsolicited opinions on their uterus. I don't want kids, and have been asked 'why' or 'you should reconsider' etc. The dumbest piece of advice about this issue ice received from a regular customers at the restaurant I used to work at was "You should have a child even if you don't want one now because you will regret it". I think that isn't a good reason to get pregnant because on the off chance I'll regret it later on. 🙄

    I'm not here to tell you what to do with your body, but there's always egg freezing and IVF. It means that you're free to get clamped and, in the future, if you DO wanna have children you can find a surrogate. It's a lot less stressful for you AND you don't go through the struggles of pregnancy. But those are my two cents and, ultimately, you are in control of your body

    My best friends from high school were told similar things then, they are both happy with no kids of their own. One of them is even a little (not really) relieved to have a chronic illness to point to so people shut up about it with her, and my other friend (jokingly) tells her she's so lucky!

    "If your phone starts buzzing in the middle of class, ignore it." Absolutely not, the only people who's notifications go through while I'm at school are my parents and best friend, neither of whom would call me for no reason. There's literally no way I'm not going to pick it up and make sure they're okay.

    One time my dad called at school. This was 2003. He NEVER calls me and my phone rang LOUD in the middle of my social studies class. My teacher looked at Mr like "really????" And I was like "I'm sorry it's my dad there must be something really wrong!!" And I answered it. Regretfully. He started SCREAMING at me that the neighbors called and said I went up the road going 75 mph. I ended up hanging up on him but everyone heard it was f*****g mortifying. Then he kept calling back over and over and I was so flustered it took like 2 minutes to silence my Nokia. Our road is gravel and 15 mph, our neighbors house is 50 feet away and I drove a chrysler cirrus so really dad was I really going 75 mph?

    you should go to college no matter what. My career choice doesnt require college, being a stand-up comeidan. sure other arts do, but this doesnt, most comics do have college degrees. but I can pass with a high school degree or GED. not everyone goes to college that has a job, stop telling me this. I still have 5-6 1/2 years to figure this out. im only 12.
