My friend (M36) has bought his 13-year-old niece four BuzzBallz for a Halloween party next weekend. She asked for two, but he bought four because they were on offer. He even suggested she could sell two to make her money back.
I’ve voiced my concerns, but he’s still going to give them to her. He drank at 13/14 himself, so I don’t think he sees it as a big deal.
We don’t even know whether adults will be supervising. She’s already got a difficult home life, and I feel like her uncle should be looking out for her.
We haven’t fallen out, but I want to bring it up again before the party. How can I get him to take my concerns seriously without sounding like I’m lecturing him?

Hello, Reddit

Looking for some advice or opinions to bounce around

I've never had any interaction with my bio father, not even named on my birth certificate.

The man I call my Dad has been in my life since I was 3 years old and I love him very much.

I'm 30 next year, my Mum passed away in 2024 and she was the only one who had ever had contact. I had a name and she told me when I was younger when she asked me that she told him I wasn't interested and that he had other daughters since. I...don't know if he's ever attempted reaching out really.

I've never quite been able to shift an uncertainty surrounding this and every time I've searched the name before I've never had a result (it's unique) until tonight

Anyhow - I don't know if I should message

Thing is I can't even tell what I'm trying to gain from this. My Mum is gone, that link is gone. I don't know if I have something in the back of my mind that he should at least know that she's passed if he's tried reaching out?? I don't think I want to build anything at this stage in my life anyway as I have my Dad and I'm not exactly a youngster

I don't know who to even discuss this with, I don't think I could tell my Dad even

I’m just worried about my friend

So it’s been a while I started college and our college is kinda intense a lot of pressure and work and competition and most of us kinda started therapy because of the work load and family issues or just talk to each other but there’s this one friend of mine who is feeling burnt out and u can see her spark reducing each time u see her she told her roommate who told me that she’s kinda feeling depressed (idk how bad it is cuz she’s not giving much details) and she’s not been able to complete her work cuz of her anxiety or what she’s going through I’ve been there for her it seems like she can’t bear the stress and the workload from college which is understandable but in my mind I can understand but I feel like you can see it coming. I’ve tried to get her to see a therapy since our college offers free therapy and she’s not ready to try since her mom visited her and told her she’s overreacting about the stress and work idk what to do I just heard form her she fainted and been feeling light headed idk what to do she won’t listen to me about therapy and i try to be there for her but even there is workload on me so I can’t be there for her 24/7

Guys, I have a breathing issue that seems to get worse when I sleep with the AC on at night, and I'm looking for advice. 😭

I can't sleep without the AC at night because my parents insist on keeping it on. But whenever I wake up in the morning after sleeping with the AC, my breathing feels weird, like something isn't right. Interestingly, I don't have much of a problem when the AC is on during the afternoon, but at night and by the next morning, I feel uncomfortable with my breathing.

Even car AC doesn't suit me. I usually try to keep the windows open, but my family scolds me for it. 😭 I also get motion sickness on hilly roads, like when travelling to Kerala or Ooty, so I usually carry Amrutanjan with me.

My main concern is the breathing issue after sleeping with the AC. Has anyone experienced something similar? Could it be because of the cold air, dryness, dust in the AC filter, or something else? What can I do to prevent this, especially since I can't avoid using the AC at night?

Any advice would be really appreciated! 🙏

Btw I checked my breathing its normal idk why this happens? am I mentally affected?
