  1. How do you humans give advice without sounding like you're criticizing the person your giving advice to?

      I find starting either with a statement of empathy or understanding is a good tip. Empathy is always important and making an effort to show that when giving constructive criticism or advice puts people at ease and makes them more willing to accept suggestions and input.

      Also it’s basic but saying things “I feel” or “I believe” and avoiding starting statements with “you” makes it feel less like an accusation and more like a open conversation/topic.

  2. i don't know if the people around me are still alive out of spite, or if they genuinely want to live
  3. Just gonna say, my parents probably need this
  4. I think bad parenting is just a common thing in my area.💀 The 5th grader down the street was screaming at her parents not to kill her The girl who's father made her do the math book A different girl across the street's parents like swearing One of my friends is retaking a test because he only got just above the passing score Some guy's father went to get the milk-- in Florida And hehe, A lot of us have problems. Remember I told you about the person who shouted "SHES RAPING ME!"? That's a common occurrence... (some kid tried to rape a traffic cone, and almost no one cared, that should give you an idea of Ohio life)
  5. Sometimes my irl friends like to vent to me because as a general, I don't verbally judge people. Sometimes I get this feeling that's like "Man, she/he is lucky that they have so many things going for them." And I know I shouldn't feel this way but for whatever reason, I just do. And then there is this thing about giving advice to them. Sometimes when I give people advice they take it as an insult. ("Sometimes you just can't change the situat-" "NOT HELPING!") I see adults give advice like that, so why can't i? Is it because I'm "just 12 and couldn't possibly be mature enough to think that deeply"? Probably. Or maybe its that the people I give advice to are also "innocent 12yos". (Ahh, so the first thing a substitute teacher hears when they come in is "SHES RAPING ME!!!" [sadly, that's a true story of my homeroom class] and we're still innocent? wow. the power of the human brain never ceases to surprise me.) So basically what society is telling me is that I need to act more like a person my age and stop having prior knowledge and life experiences. There are things, that people will only understand when they experience it. The problem is, the first 1 & 1/5 decades of ones life is not the best time to gain valuable life experiences, even if some of us already know what its like being almost completely self-dependent. The few of us that already know so much of the stuff they tell us about being adults make up a negligible percentage of the population, and often go under the radar. There's a 5th grader down the street that you could trust your car with (albeit illegal for her to drive on a road, that's called underage driving, she can drive nonetheless) And then some of us are being forced into academic "success" (burnout. we are being forced to use all of our energy too soon. academic burnout.) Yeah, of course 4th grade is an amazing time for you to make your daughter listen to a talk about the Pythagorean theorem and how to prove it. Of course your 5th grader wants to know how LLMs and machine learning work. Of course 6th grade is the time to start learning trigonometry. A friend of MI e didn't make it into algebra 1, and you know what her father did? He bought her a textbook and said: finish this by the start of 7th grade. It's kinda nice to know that, however negligible the amount of people that can at least partially relate to whatever is happening, its never quite 0. Have a nice day, thank you for reading, and don't attempt to drown yourself like 5yo me tried to that one time. (i know I made a typo somewhere in there)
  6. Ok. Who wants a piece of underwear we buried 6 months ago in science. (true story)
  7. My mother thinks I'm mad at her for forcing me to clean my room. Haha, no, you stupid piece of shit, im mad at you for ruining my fucking life.
