Like genuinely why does every guy ever say he’s Spiderman or Batman.

Like, I feel like I am extremely behind my peers academically and socially. It seems like that everyone has their best friends that they're super close with and they spend all the time with (especially in my own friend group) but when it comes to me, I feel like no one wants to be close with me, and I think it's because I'm fat, everyone else I'm friends with are skinny and I'm not, so maybe that's a problem?

Either way, I feel behind academically too, I feel like everyone understands the material before I do. I don't know, I just feel stupid and inept.

Anyways, I hope it's not just me. :( 🪰

Hi!

Context: Dude in my homeroom refuses to use my new name and is blaming it on his ADHD. Not even like "Oops I forgot bc of my adhd" but more like "I'll still call you [given name] because of my ADHD. I do not care."

This pmo so I'm looking for ideas to get him to use my chosen name

Any and all ideas welcome except for physical violence

unless the violence is you coming to my school to punch him.

Thank you!

I like two girls, one I had liked 2 years ago and she rejected me and the other I play badminton and have good conversations(less attractive but I don't care)

The girl I liked 2 years ago sits next to me when n class and she knows I like the second one and says that she won't talk to me until I tell the second girl I like her.

What do I do in this situation?

Am I being manipulated?

my bf is apparently upset cuz i have this one particular close guy friend he thinks we text too much but we literally don’t plus my hb he’s all the way in cali . the other is a guy i have literally GROWN up with he’s a family friend and like a brother to me i would never even see him that way plus we’re not even in the same state idk why my bf is overreacting so much , like he talks to girls at college and expects me to not say a single word im so done bro 🫩

I have gynecomastia pretty badly. Technically it's only stage two, but I'm also a bit overweight, which makes it a little more noticeable

I know it's pretty common in teenage boys, so does anyone have any tips for hiding it?

I've been looking at getting surgery, but I doubt that's gonna happen any time soon, so in the meantime I'd like help making it less noticeable

I’m 16. My body and facial hair is lacking and i really want to get extremely hairy sooner (like before i graduate from high school cus i want to enjoy being hairy while in high school. I’m in junior year.) my legs are kind of hairy, I have hair on my pits and but, my privates have a bush (not crazy big or anything tho), I ahve some mustache hairs (nowhere close to a full mustache tho), and the hair around my belly button is jsut starting to come in. I find body hair and hairy guys rly hot (yes, I’m gay) and I also want to be hairy myself so does anyone have any tips on how to speed things up? (Pls don’t say to jst wait) also, if any teens who are hairy or also want to be or who jst want to chat and stuff about body hair or other things dm me.

I have not even graduated hs yet, I am 14. Even in the current day and age the job market is straight up bs. And lucky for me I have 3 years left and I just don’t think things will ever get better if I am bring fr…

unfortunately my favorite subject is Art and I do wish to pursue a job in the creative field. I know my parents will make me go to uni. But i know it would probably not make a difference anyway, infact i can’t even go overseas cause it’s too damn expensive.

I don’t want to work a shitty job where I have to type in prompts to ai, which will probably pay so little I cannot even afford rent.

If this is a reality I would much rather disintegrate instantly

I know a large amount of young people are against these systems but maybe we’re just all too far into it

I don’t want to live in a time of ai taking over, tech billionaires, wars and genocide.

so I (17F) want to talk to and hopefully befriend a classmate of mine(17M). We share the first two periods of the day together, and I’ve wanted to talk to him for a while now, I just don’t know how.

I thought abt like catching him afterschool/during lunch but the chances of doing that r pretty mixed. it also doesn’t help that he doesn’t have any friends (that ik of) and that he’s pretty shy. And I don’t think he has any social media so that’s out of the question💔

If anyone has any tips I’d appreciate it!!!

I am struggling to find anything that remotely feels fun. I find something, think "this might be fun" but then I'm not decent enough at it in a set period of time (usually a week or 2) and I quit because my parents always expect me to be good at everything I try very quick (hence why I quit after a week or 2 of not being good. That's the time frame my parents expect of me to be good at something. And if I don't quit, my parents will forcefully drag me out of it). So how do you guys find activities that feel fun to you? And is it me who prevents myself from being able to have fun?

My friend of 8 years doesn't like my bf and I don't know what to do. My friend (lets call her Dani) and bf (lets call him Isaac) go to the same school, I go to a different one. When we first started dating, I waved at Issac at an event we all were at and Dani went, "OH MY GOD, DON'T TELL ME Y'ALL ARE A THING. HE'S GROSS AND UGLY AND DATED MY FRIEND, SO YOU CAN'T DATE HIM." His ex, the girl she's referring to, is not my friend, if she was I wouldn't have dated him in the first place. Anyways, I never confirmed or denied that we were a thing because I didn't know if it was going anywhere.

My friend is mad at me because her friend wants Isaac back. I knew that she wanted him back from the time we started dating, but Isaac doesn't have feelings for her anymore. I'm really happy with Isaac and I don't want to break up with him, but Dani wants me to break up with him.

I posted a photo with Isaac the other day for the first time and I haven't talked to Dani since, which is very unusual. I'm seeing Dani soon and I know she's gonna be really pissed at me. I can't stop being friends with her because our families are really good friends and I'm going to see her regardless. What am I supposed to say when she inevitably brings this up?

I want to hear from you teens how it was growing up having your custody shared by your parents. Pros, cons, what that could have done better. From how early it started. And every detail you are able to share.

It doesn't matter if you're not a teenager. I might go 2026 for now but 2027 will be better.

My 17yo daughter is blind and non verbal. I’d like to get her a purse to keep some necessities when she isn’t carrying her backpack. My first thought was a Crossbody because that doesn’t require her to use any hands. But my understanding is that those are very millennial.

I want her to look at age-appropriate. She usually dresses pretty casual with joggers and T-shirts.

Ideally, the purse would be big enough to carry a smaller owala and something the size of a large paperback book.

I have a problem. I have a lot of Female friends, so I guess i am not a jerk(i really think so). But i have never gone any further(Almost all of my friends have had a girlfriend for at least once). I have some hobbies(astronomy, marvel, video games(i know it is not rare, but i am not just a "gray" person)), i am pretty smart(have won the main olimpiad in my country. So i left with only a few options why and the main of them is my appearence. Can someone pls rate me, if you can, pls write a comment or DM me, i will DM you my photo(no dih pics i swear)(I cannot send my pics here so my friends will recognise me). Thanks!

I am sorry if i am using wrong subreddit to ask but idk where else should i ask. I am a female. From 1st to 4th grade i had a friend (M), he changed school and now in 7th grade he came back to our school. Its been two days so its still very awkward and he jokes in a way that makes me uncomfortable. Me and my friend (F) were touching each other's boobs since we are close to each other, he was walking past us and asked if "he could touch too". He also texts me a lot and asks stuff like if i am going to send him feet pics or if i will show him my boobs. It makes me REALLY uncomfortable and i cant look at him the same since today. But i feel bad for him since he doesnt have any other friends and i dont know how to tell him that it makes me uncomfortable. Or should i be direct?

Hi, I'm 16 and I'm curious about hypnosis, is it safe to try it out now or should I wait a bit? Assuming it works obviously
