Hey guys, i need help. My family just doesn't take me seriously at all. I'm 18 but for them I'm still 8.

>inb4 move out lol

That's the main reason I'm posting this here. An University provid me a full scholarship (food, a certain amount of money every month for transportation and such, no need to pay for my career, etc.) because of my good grades in highschool. The thing is that this University is not situated in the city I'm currently living, so i have two options: get up every day at 2:00 AM to travel to my uni for five years or live with some friends in that city and pay the rent with the money I'm going to receive for the transportation. The second option seems better right? Well, that can't be.

My parents won't let me, they say "it's too dangerous out there and my roommates can turn out to be gang members and drag me into that world, and that i shouldn't be acting like an adult just because I'm 18 and I should better work with my uncle because it's safer and a few years later pay my own career in this city".

I'm dying, /adv/. I don't know what to do because if i run away they would find me and that would be ten times worse. I don't have abusive alcoholic parents, but at least running away from then would be easier if they were.

Be me. Nearing middle age, childless and staying with family. Just divorced after nearly a decade, he traded in for something newer and better. Was beaten down (literally and emotionally), gave all my time and money into something that was a lost cause apparently. Lost my home, my hometown, best friend/husband, starting to lose my friends. I dont want new friends. I am on a self improvement journey which is working but damn I am so depressed. I cannot take losing anymore. I cannot keep pretending to be ok. I know I have to let go of my old life, but I wish he was the only thing I was losing. How do people deal with losing everything in their independant life, and starting over? Has anyone been here before?

I've been neet for 5 years, 16 to 21 and I'm struggling a lot to find work, I've applied everywhere I can imagine, gotten handfuls of interviews, always dress nicely and communicate respectfully. Family is finally deciding to kick me out since I've tried/been in and out of college, this last time I was taking classes on plumbing and couldn't afford all the tools for my next semester which family wouldn't help me with. I only have $50 in my bank account and I'm driving uninsured and I have no idea what I can do at this point. I considered military but I can't lose the amount of weight I need to in any reasonable amount of time and also only have a ged which they're selective about taking to begin with. My only other option seems to be job corps which sounds like the most miserable hell on earth experience I can imagine. I've read all sorts of horror stories, senseless beatings, rapes, etc. It's not something I'd fit in even remotely, that along with racial tensions increasing in this country, me being white, the majority there being black, if not everyone but me. All I want is to find and do normal work but with my lack of history and large time gap no one will hire me it seems, I have no idea how to make up for it. What should I do? Is there anything aside from job corps that could help me? I know I'm completely responsible for my current position but I just need to get out of it, badly.

Alright /adv/ this one is a doozie.

Recently met this girl. She's beautiful, sweet, perfect person for me. We just click and it feels incredibly natural.

The other night she told me that she has acute liver failure and will only live a couple of more years. I'm pretty devastated by this even though I've only known her for about two months.

What do I do /adv/? I want to stay with her and help her until the end. I feel as if this will haunt me for the rest of my life. My mother also has liver failure and I'm not sure how much death of those closest around me I can be exposed to before I lose it.

Not sure what I'm asking here, I just want someone to talk to or that maybe has some experience with something like this. I'm developing heavy feelings for her and it's just a soul crushing catch 22 that I don't know how to handle.

Recently my boss (whom I have been working for the past 2 years) asked me to take a drug test. When it came back, it came back as a failure. I told him that I had spent my break in Denver, but he refuses and says that I am due to get fired.

He was aware that I was going to Denver to see my cousin, so this is no surprise. But I wonder as to if it is legal for him to do this? I mean, weed is legal there, after all. For those curious, I am a Computer Engineer.

I (22, F) have been hooking up with this guy (25) for 4 months and we recently broke it off.

The previous year I had a long term hookup who was depressed and it emotionally drained me- he was the only guy I felt something for. Then I met this new guy, and we hung out, went on dates, and had sex a lot. I'm Not the dating type, never actually had a "boyfriend" and this guy wanted to date me and told me so. He was attractive, ambitious, funny, and the sex was great... but I just don't think there was any intimacy. Every time after sex I'd just want my silence to stare and think- he'd try to engage me and talk to me and cuddle and I hate that shit. Normally guys get turned off by my demeanor but this one stuck around and kept trying to get close to me, and he didn't even open up to me that much himself. Sometimes he'd give up if i didn't feel like kissing after sex and turn the other way on the bed and not say anything. He'd have a disappointed look on his face that he was trying to hide.

I told him I thought dating in general was futile, this might sound bad but guys and their dicks really are a dime a dozen to me- and I didn't have anything emotional to give him.

Last week he flipped out via text and said "we're done, I don't want to do this anymore". I let him go, but he texted me the next day and asked to be FwB because didn't want to be alone and wanted to give me space. At this point, I didn't want to have sex with him again, it felt great don't get me wrong, but I just didn't feel intimate with him and I don't want to be a placeholder for him being lonely.
I've felt way more intimate with guys i hooked up with for a week than I did with this guy. I told him I was uncomfortable with seeing him again, I offered to stay in contact as a friend but he turned that down.

I'm back on my dating app, I don't know what I want but this can't escape my mind. Did I do the right thing?

Ex girlfriends and I broke up on not so good terms. She texted me saying she wants us to be friends and she wants me to be in her life even if we aren't dating. I said ok and haven't talked with her since then. Her bday was yesterday and I remembered today. Do I tell her happy bday or let it go?

So, my school has recently imposed a spying program, and they spy on our school supplied ipads. Now, they do this for no clear reason as we cannot access harmful material because our filters are very strict. The only excuse for spying they have is "It is not our ipads". That infact is wrong, we had to pay 50$ for "tech support fees". I do not understand this silly rule where we are being spied for no reason. Is there a way to bypass the bluetooth connection they use to spy besides turning off bluetooth. (They receive a notification if you do)

I've been saving money and looking for land for the last few years, and I've finally found something that I think I want to buy and build a house on. Coincidentally, later this year was when my girlfriend and I were planning on moving in together. Originally, we were just going to try and find a cheapish house to rent, but now I've found this land and I'm not sure what to do. The land is cheap enough that I could probably make payments on it and still afford to split rent on a cheap place, but is that a good idea? Would it be a horrible idea to try and build a house on my land and then move into it with my girlfriend? Or get started on it, live with her at my parents' for a bit and finish it together, and then move in?

I'm going to cut contact with only person I ever truly loved in my life. Nobody ever understood me more, nobody I felt closer in my life, not even my family. We are like brother and sister. She is the only good thing I have in my life but it will be better this way. I'm used to being alone, but I will really miss her. World is gonna be even emptier after our ways are going to split. She will be desolated, but she is the most rational human being I ever met, she will understand this. I told her that I see her as something more than a friend.

I just can't take this anymore. Being so close to someone who you know will never love you in same way as you love the other. It's fucking my head up, knowing that we won't spend our future together. I fucking love her so much, but she is a lesbian. I want to kill myself, everyday I wake up and that's the first thing that pops into my head, I have no motivation to get off that bed.

When will I be ok? Can we ever be friends after this again?
