Bro, I've never managed more than a few months.

My strategy is to be good looking and wait for girls to fall into my lap. It usually pays off once a year or more.

Just work out and dress well.

>>17881382
HOW?! I just don't get it. Women look right through me.

Government education represents a monopoly which is bad for the consumer. People don't have a choice to fund it and it's very hard to fire teachers. This drives prices up and makes quality go down.

Private education represents more choice in the market which is good for the consumer. It drives down costs and improves quality because of competition.

>>17881325
Neither is superior. What you learn is purely up to you. You can put the same child in public and private schools, if they're a moron nothing will change.

>>17881325
It is not superior:
a) in a crap school you pay and you pass - countless people get degrees this way
or
b) you get high quality dedicated teaching, strict criteria for exams and admission, prestige at a (usually) very high price

Shit's gonna get better.

>>17881916
yeah

I'm on the otherside bro. As a lesbian I am surrounded by straight girls who talk about boys with an attraction I'll never understand nor grasp. Find things to fill the whole. Get determination. Immediately stop thinking of bad things. Force yourself to not think of them. Find something you enjoy. Learn how to draw. Read something. Read the whole entire Harry Potter series for all I care. Find something. Get into a fandom make new friends. The internet is at your finger tips.

tl'dr: Get a hobby kid. It won't get better unless you do. You can get better no matter what your brain tells you.

Police?

Start with police and if they don't do shit, try for yourself. Don't say who you are. For all you know she bought it used from someone that bought it from the thief. Make a couple of fake accounts and add her. Try to find out where she will be that is public and confront her in the least hostile way possible, include your mom if you can and tell her what happened. If she hands it over you won't start a fuss if she doesn't you will post her face all over Facebook and social media that she is a thief. If there is a way anyone knows how to gps her I'd do it and go with a group of people to demand she gives it back or help you report the person who sold it or you will report her to the police for being a thief.

You can also just ask nicely to return the stolen phone or that you wIll report her to the police. You should file a police report before you confront her and then if she doesn't respond go crazy insulting her what a low life she is and show the police her photo and put it up the city's police websites, Craigslist, Facebook, etc.

Yeah about.

An ounce usually fills the sandwich bag but it could just be the weight

>Is Zuckerberg tracking my texts!??!
yes. or did you think all those privacy advocates are just lunatics ?

>>17881276
Yes you gave Facebook direct access to your contacts by downloading the Facebook app.

Nobody else can see it but it's still creepy as fuck.

>>17881276
Holy shit. It's not surprising at all but still spooky as fuck.

>>17881257
She WILL get dicked by some dudes in the next college, just give up, LDR never work anyways

Well, Alright then...

If you love her ask her out. Life is too short to pass up this opportunity. If you're scared of losing contact with her start hanging out together in town or wherever now. Then it'll seem natural later on for her to hang with you.

If her parents dont approve fuck them. You can still go out with each other, but just try not to get caught in public together.

>>17881255
Easy. Work on your self get a hobby and start from there.

Where are you at in life?

If you weren't popular/good looking in school, it's highly likely that you wont find a girlfriend in your life until you've built yourself up a little bit.

I'm doing well in every other aspect of my life except for interaction with girls.

I know most of the people in school, I have lots of friends and a couple close ones from early childhood.

It's hardly like I do nothing in my spare time, I play guitar, draw, and work on electrical circuits.

I have an average build, lift weights once a week with my friends and have been doing bodyweight exercises for the past few weeks, bar this week since I've been sick.

I look decent in general, and I'm confident when talking in most circumstances, I do acting so that helps a bit with self esteem.

I do well in exams, got a majority of As last summer from studying hard.

I just feel insecure about never having kissed a girl. I'd like to somehow remove this, if you get what I mean?

Thanks

Being around positive people helps a lot.
Naturally positive people always look for and find the good in things.

I'm confused as to how you think you sound like an idiot, could you give an example?

>Being around positive people helps a lot.
Don't really have that luxury. I don't have any friends. The only people I'm around are family (who are extremely negative and have tendency to bring me down often, part of the reason I'm trying so hard to be positive just to get away from that atmosphere) co-workers (who are also jaded and upset about working) and customers at my job who can be negative and irritable as anyone who's worked in retail can attest for.

I'm basically surrounded by negativity everywhere I go and I'm just trying to not let it all get to me and bring forth some positivity in my world.

>I'm confused as to how you think you sound like an idiot, could you give an example?

I don't know, I can't think of any specific examples off the top of my head, but I'll find myself in some shitty situation where it's easy to say or be negative and I'll instead say something painfully optimistic or hopeful about the situation. I just can't help but feel like a huge fag with my background of being really cynical and depressing all the time.

I suppose it's just being in uncharted territory and feeling a bit uncomfortable with the whole thing, but I don't know if there's any way to dampen the blow.

Congrats on seeing the bright side of life, or at least starting too. :) This sub can be so negative sometimes that your issue seems like a bit of relief. I think you're right in that it is a new skill you have to learn. Take small steps and gradually take bigger ones. Start with telling yourself every morning you're grateful to be alive and you will have a great day. Then do one thing you think will be positive like offer someone advice here or read about something that brings back "faith in humanity." At the end of the day find one thing that you found positive in your day or life. The fact that you can breathe on your own is something you can be grateful for this leading to a positive state of mind everyday and that is just the start. I also agree on surrounding yourself with naturally positive people to practice your skills. I wish you well on your path and this internet stranger is happy for you.

Don't do it don't be stupid

It will probably take a few weeks, before you're actually "anorexic" because of all that fat still stored around your body. After that, you'll probably feel continuously weakery, your immune system will not be functioning perfectly and maybe even your period will be affected. Just google malnutrition. Of course this all depends on how "extreme" you try to do it. Please just don't.

Too dangerous to try. You may say you want to try it for a month, then next month you say just one more month and then you end up with s full blown eating disorder.
Instead focus on trying different healthy exercises and diets. Have you tried weight lifting? Visit a proper nutritionist, dietician, and trainer. Better to invest in what you want to achieve through healthy means that will lead to a healthy lifestyle for the rest of your life rather than a cheat you'll come to regret.

Take your shitty emo poetry elsewhere

>>17881218
No. I don't want to sound emo or edgy but I legitimately don't feel anything that I should when it comes to life.

bipolar

no shit sherlock i've got the same

>>17881207
Git gud

>>17881208
I tryed to git gud. But i got rekt by teacher.

Well, what are you struggling with?

Drinking heavily and lashing out at your siblings who will never view you as anything more than a child or spoiled.
Your parents didnt want you as a child, they wanted a grandchild they could play with before any of your older siblings could pop out any shitters. Sorry anon but it doesnt get easier, and your best bet is to find a gf with afamily to sponge off. Just dont pick a shitty poor one with drama and mental health histories.
I speak from experience as the youngest of 6

>>17881223
>Drinking heavily and lashing out
What the fuck are you talking about? I'm sorry for your situation, but thats hardcore projection

I'm a year younger than you are and my parents are (both even) sixty five. It happens. Yeah you could've had more time with them if they were younger, but there's always what ifs. Be happy you have siblings and won't be alone with the memories of your parents after they are gone. Try to use the emotion in a constructive way to motivate yourself to be the best child they could wish for and never have to regret taking them for granted. I do this with mine. My mom is the sweetest lady in the world but she talks loads and sometimes I just kind of tune out and realize I missed a bit then go "oh, she'll tell it ten more times".
But then I remind myself that she has lots of stories, so perhaps not. Perhaps this is the last time she'll ever tell me this particular one and I was just thinking nonsense instead of listening. So I ask her to repeat that part.

you two maybe aren't compatible

>>17881192
i just feel it's a complete lack of respect.... especially when she declare her feet stick and then shoves them in my face

>>17881194
She probably is used to it and can't smell a thing, and doesn't want to believe you out of embarrassment. It's a reasonable request, everyone should be hygienic. No idea what path you should take now to solving the problem however if she is hiding behind the excuse of you being mean and rude.

He's just a mild douchebag that wants you to like him. You'd feel that way about him with whatever he does.

I have a few friends like that too. They seek validation by picking up interests of other friends in the group, then do a lot of studying on it (or they think they do) so that when they discuss it with you, you can be all impressed with their unlimited knowledge.

..Even though it's obvious they're missing a lot of key elements.
It used to bother me. Now I just kind of brush it off since I've grown to be endeared by it

>>17881166
Because it's always annoying when people do that. "Taste" is not an accomplishment worth bragging about, he's just passively enjoying the music that other people created. It's fine to be into the stuff you like, but not to act like it's a way to one-up other people or act like a snob.
