My little brother (12) is a super runty scrawny kid who's being bullied by his "friend" whos 13, and way bigger. He does fencing so I told him to fuck the bully but he's scared of being expelled. What does he do?
Well stabbing him is not the answer
Tell him don't be scared of being expelled, because he'll look back at this moment as an adult and wish he did it differently.

Fencing LOL what is he gonna do, duel off with the bully?
Tell him to man up and put this dude in his place. All bullies test you, it starts with small gestures, small remarks, jokes at your expense... All to see how much you're willing to put up with. Eventually it gets physical.
He needs to be physical first, out of the fuckin blue. This other kid needs to realize that he's been picking on a maniac
Why can't I have a clean, smooth face like every other guy I know my age?
I'm just about 21 and I was my face 1-2 a day, exfoliate 2 times a week, and use a black head cleanser daily. I also keep a clean towel on my pillow before bed. But my face is still oily and bumpy.
What else can I possibly do? Why is it so easy for everyone else?
go to a dermatologist, they'll probably put you on some meds that will help
also change your diet. drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, eat less sugar and fat
>>16686087
hey buddy im 22 and also have similiar issues. I literally just made a dermatologist appointment today.
It's the only wy to fix it bro. Don't listen to what anyone says. I have tried everything. Drinking more water, working out. Blah blah blah Clean pillows towels. veggies.
No on actually does those things and they have great skin.
You have to go see a dermatologist. But op let me ust tell yo something When all the acne clears, after that or whenever it does. Any insecurities you have arent going to go way. There's beautiful people out their who look in the mirror and see a disgusting person.
Loads of bad skin topics tonight.
I had the same issue as you. I discovered what helped me when i was being a lazy fuck inbetweem jobs and no Gf at the time. my skin seemed to clear up when i was diety as fuk. This translated into how i keep clean skin today
- shower before going to bed so your pillow stays fresh. Just rijse your face with water for like 15 seconds. No rubbing no soaps.
- stop using hairgels. Style your hair with a blow dryer to keep you hair clean.
-never touch your face with you hands and keep the touching to a minimum.
-drink loads of water
- no fat junk food or sugar filled stoff like chocolate and soft drinks.
Ofcourse i eat the nad stuff now and then, but afyerwards i always pay with some bad skin. Hope this helps
is it worth staying with someone who has slight temper issues? we also don't get on that well so he is constantly angry at me and so he ignores me a lot, but when he is normal i like him a lot. should i break up with him?
>saving thumbnails
Yes, you should break up.
Yes, emotional abuse usually leads to physical abuse, even if it doesn't have anything to do with touching you harmfully at all.
Yes because it probably won't last anyway
My girlfriend's 8 years-old nephew is being bullied in school and the school does nothing or the minimum to stop the constant abuse he suffers.
First thought was "his parents must intervene" but they are divorced, he only lives with his mother, grandmother and his aunt (gf) and while his father is around he has little presence in his life.
I know the kid, he is innocent and means no harm to the world. And I know that constant abuse changes and traumatizes children (more if you consider that he doesn't have a paternal figure).
Things I know have happened to him:
>he hit his forehead because he was running from the bully
>gets his food stolen
>sometimes he arrives with bruises
>he got told that his parents would die if he told anyone of the abuse (what the flying fuck?)
I got bullied a lot when I was little but even the things that happened to me where mild compared to this shit, and it's only the things the kid has told to his aunt probably more has happened and we don't know.
Of course I want this to end but I'm still reluctant if I have to intervene when is really not something a third-party should be concerned of. But shit it makes me mad to think there is no one else helping him not even his own father. Should I approach this slowly? try to make inquire to check the situation? If I try to help the kid what should I do? I don't think I should incite him to respond with violence. Should I be doing this at all?
>>16686024
Talk to the bullied kid. Teach him how to stand up for himself. Teach him how to knock this other fucker out.
Schools aren't supposed to do shit. This kids family is supposed to, and if he's family to you, teach him how to be strong.
You need to get the kid to ask for a lawyer if he's actually getting ruffed up. Inform the child that the police can put kids in kiddy jail for being really bad.
>>16686032
On a second thought I think that responding with force may be the solution, I'm going to see if I can talk to him on the weekend.
>be me
>religious family, hates everything anti bible
>tell them around 8 I want to be a missionary when I grow up
>theyloveit.gif
>about to graduate
>am now a talented musician and a friend and I are going to start a band
>parents ask me which christian college I want to go to
>I've completely forgotten
>trys to tell my dad that I want to play music
>he goes wild
>I play it off as a joke
So, how do I tell my parents I don't want to save lives so I can try to play music for a living?
Be a Christian rock band! You get to play music and save lives!
Why not just study music at a Christan college?
No reason you can't fine tune your abilities and your academic understanding of your passion in a context that will make your parents happy. After that you'll be in a better position to play music professionally anyway.
>>16686021
Ay OP Christian Rock is some easy money.
Ok here's my predicament /adv/ I'm 20 and was forced into 3 online college courses by my parents and I've got my first 2 assignments due tonight by midnight but I just can't find the strength to do them because I think college is pointless since literally every retard with half a brain can get a degree plus the obligatory $60k worth of debt here in America and I would rather do something else like go to a trade school but I know if I don't do my college assignments and drop out my parents will bitch at me because I'm not doing exactly what they want me to do. What do I do?
Just do it for your parents. Try and relate to the assignments, thats the best way to help you do it.
If not, you should just quit now and stop postponing being a NEET
Do the assignments to please your parents, prove you aren't lazy and can do the work. After that, explain to them what you want to do instead of college.
>I just can't find the strength to do them
>every retard with half a brain can

my girlfriend told me she was raped before we met.I feel bad but i need to break up with her because i don't want to deal with the potential craziness. How do i break it to her in a way that wont devastate her?
Seriously?
>>16685924
lol wut
i feel bad for her but i know that she will always have trauma and probably act out and i dont want to deal with it
How the hell do I talk to women?
I have not talked to a girl for over 3 years, excluding conversations about school. I just feel like I have nothing to relate to them about and that any attempt for me to discuss stuff other than school will be interpreted as me trying to come onto them romantically.
>>16685884
Don't know. But I don't talk many dudes either except recently since people have started to talk about vidya.
>>16685884
Jesus Christ.
I've seen the fucked up version of this image so much that I forgot that THIS was the original one and that he actually looks normal.
I got the same feeling with that Fallout 4 faggot that everyone was memeing about.
It's completely impossible
>Girlfriend doesn't like that I smoke weed but tolerates it (mostly)
>Almost always with bros, rarely by myself
>One day decide to smoke a little by myself
>Girlfriend freaks out about it
>"What the fuck is wrong with you, it's bad enough that you do it with your friends, you know that I hate when you do it, blahblahblahblah"
what do?
do you like weed more or you gf more?
im going to assume the answer is weed and tell you to dump her.
>>16685871
Why can't women just compromise and stop being cunts about everything?
>>16685874
I don't know bro they just can't
How do I help people deal with depression? There is a friend that used to talk a lot with me. Now she stopped talking to many people besides maybe one. She just works and plays vidiya. How can I make her deal with her problem? She always neglects, claiming it's part of her.
Tell her that you are aware of her depression. There is no better cure than knowing that people around you actually care about you while you're depressed. I'm depressed right now, and I don't have anyone to talk about my emotions and feelings to. This shit sucks, yet I don't have the balls to do an hero
I am interested in this thread.
I have a friend with depression and I really want to try and help them, or at least be there for them. They tend to withdraw and don't talk as much and I struggle to know what to do.
>>16685881
The best you can do, as written by anon above, is to be there for them and tell him/her that it is not the end of the world
Im white quiet and shy how can i get a qt ebony gf?
offer to take care of her kids
>>16685831
Bazinga.
>>16685826
Do you specifically want non-offensive black chicks like the one in your pic? Or are you also open to hoodrat-type of black broads?
I have specific advice for either.
Is it bad to hold a girl to the same standards for "ambition" (aka making bank) as they do for you?
its not bad but man will it limit your choices
>>16685815
Nope, not at all. In this day and age, women have more job opportunities than they used to, and a woman with ambition means that the two of you can have something to talk about, and that she'll understand when you're stressed out at work because she's going through the same thing.
Definitely don't boil it down to the exact dollars and cents, since there's still a slight wage disparity, but if she works as hard as you do, that's what matters.
>>16685940
That 78 cent thing is a proven false myth
How do I stop my boyfriend's friends from being huge dicks to me?
Every time I hang out with them and my boyfriend his friends are always so rude to me. I tried talking to my boyfriend about it and he said he would talk to them about it but they're still huge dicks to me. I don't really want to say anything and make a scene to them as they're not my friends so there isn't much I can do about it except smile and pretend like it doesn't affect me.
Should I look upset about it instead so they know to stop? I don't really know what to do in this situation. I don't want to come off as a huge bitch but man they say some pretty upsetting things. Sometimes it makes me want to break up with my boyfriend because he hangs out with them so often, and if I didn't go with him I'd be sitting at home alone most nights (we live together).
Also I don't think I've done or said anything to make them be huge dicks to me, I always try to be super nice and just talk to them normally.
What is it they are doing that is dickish?
they don't want you around
>>16685810
They know I was in an abusive relationship in the past and sometimes will make fun of me about it. Normally I don't really care but that is a pretty sensitive issue for me.
>>16685813
That would be fine but like I said, my boyfriend spends most of his time with them and if I don't go along I barely get to spend any time with him at all. I tried asking him maybe to hold back a bit on spending time with them but he thought I was being controlling or something.
I don't really know what to do.
I'm just sitting in my room when all of a sudden I remember how soul crushingly lonely I am. My housemate has left for a few days and I get socialisation at work, but I'm fucking /lonely/
>>16685796
Ask a friend from work to see a movie with you?
>>16685800
it's like 10pm, and the only person i'd be comfortable with from work is in another city right now, huh.
got the radio on so it sounds like there's another human in the room with me at least
>>16685796
Watch a comforting tv show and make plans with a work friend sometime later this week?
You can't fix your life 10pm on a Thursday my friend, just relax and enjoy yourself
