Rant My classmate found my house

This is genuinely crazy for me, considering I go to a private Christian highschool. We were doing a project for biology, so me and my two other classmates (one I’m close friends with, the other I barely know) made a group chat. (Friend = R, rando = C) I was talking with them about the editing process of the project when C sent a picture of the front of my house from across the street. Genuinely what the fuck. I later asked how he found out where I lived, and apparently he goes running in my neighborhood and found out my house was on the carpool roster. Apparently he didn’t know it was mine though, so he texted me to double check. Huh?? Why am I the one you guess first?? I immediately started PMing R talking about how crazy this guy is 😭 Told my parents, they just laughed it off saying “ohh he just has a crush on you!!” HE GOT A GIRLFRIEND WITHIN 2 WEEKS AFTER THAT. Not to mention I barely had the courage to go downstairs that night to take my anxiety meds because I thought he would be waiting at my front door. Happened last year but ts was just too good not to share

Question Will I look like a show-off if I post a pic of my name on my schools honour-roll board on my ig story

2 Upvotes

I know this sounds stupid as hell but please let me ask anyway.... I unexpectedly topped my cohort for my high-school leaving exams and my name is engraved on a wooden "honour-roll" board in one of the campus buildings. I am very pleased cuz i've been a decent-to-high scoring student but never ever made it top 10.. much less top 1. I have all these feelings inside me but am hesitant to share with anyone because I dont wanna look arrogant. BUT I also kinda want to post it on my ig LOL oes this seem annoying? Should I wrap it up and keep the conceitedness for linkedin? is any of this even that deep

Rant let people “ruin their life” before they end it

Post image
84 Upvotes

TW: suicide. also no, i am not defending it. read before cooking me in the replies lol.

Whenever someone our age says they don't want to live, the advice is almost always “life is precious”, “think about your parents”, “marks aren't everything bro”. None of that is wrong.

But then what?

Most of the time they get sent back to the same house, same coaching, same relationship and the same future they were trying to escape. We save them for one night and do fuck all about the actual trap.

I was reading Osho and some Stoic stuff recently (diabolical combo, ik) and one idea stuck with me. A lot of suicidal people may not hate life itself. They hate this specific version of it and can't see another way for it to end.

Osho’s point, after removing the guru fog, was basically that society can reduce you to a cog and make death look like the only exit still under your control. His answer wasn't physical suicide. It was changing the shape and direction of your life.

And this isn't only guru gyaan either. Suicide research talks about “entrapment”: desperately needing to escape something unbearable while believing that every exit is closed.

So open an exit.

Fail JEE. Change streams. Repeat a year. Leave the college. Stay with another relative. End the relationship. Go to a hospital. Disappoint your parents. Let “log kya kahenge” go to hell for once.

These might all count as “ruining your life” in an Indian family, but they are reversible. Death isn't.

The Stoic part I agree with is that merely continuing to breathe isn't the highest good. How you live matters too. But I don't follow them all the way to suicide. When someone is trapped in unbearable pain, they are not seeing a full and calm map of every possible future. Autonomy doesn't magically make every urge wise just because it is yours.

Stop the irreversible act first, obviously. But then actually create more options instead of forcing the person back into the same prison and congratulating yourself for saving them.

And “think about your mother” cannot be the entire argument. It might stop someone in that moment, which matters, but nobody should have to stay alive forever only as a debt to other people. Help them find reasons and a life that belong to them too.

This painting is Manfred on the Jungfrau by Ford Madox Brown. Manfred is at the edge and, in Byron’s scene, the hunter behind him reaches him before he jumps. Everyone understands why he must be pulled back.

But that is only step one.

What has to change in the life he is returning to?

So yeah. Sometimes real suicide prevention means letting someone's old life end. Save the person, not their exam attempt, family reputation, career timeline or assigned identity.

Staying alive can be rebellion too. But only if people are allowed to rebel against the life that was breaking them.

TL;DR: Before suicide, ruin your life first.

If you genuinely feel like you have nothing left to lose, then use that freedom. Fail the exam. Change streams. Drop the course. Leave the relationship. Stay with someone else. Disappoint your parents. Start over from zero if you have to.

If the alternative in your head is literally death, why protect a career plan, reputation, marksheet or “log kya kahenge”?

Destroy the version of your life that is killing you before you destroy yourself.

Most of those things are reversible. Death isn’t.

I recently lost two friends, and it was my fault. I have taken accountability, but they did not want to keep being my friend after. It hurts extra hard because I’ve known them both for 10+ years. Any advice to help accept this or how to handle being around them because our friend groups are so combined?

Rant Got wrongly suspended (Rant + celebration!)

3 Upvotes

I was fixing my hair in the mirror while talking to friends at school (bathroom). A staff member walked in and my friend shoved a weed pen into my hand, frantically whispering at me to hide it. When we got searched, it was found "in my possession" and I was suspended. I never get into trouble for ANYTHING because I'm usually perceived as a very good kid, so I obviously had a massive panic attack.

I was literally sobbing uncontrollably, hyperventilating, and gasping for air every few seconds. I was texting my mom and explaining the situation so she'd be ready for the call, and know what ACTUALLY happened.

When my mom was called, she explained the situation and tried to defend me to the best of her ability, but you can't reason with school staff members that have a superiority complex. The lady kept saying "possession is 9/10ths of the law" or whatever to justify the situation. My mom works in a law firm and knows her shit, so she brought up the usual circumstantial exceptions.

My mom got to the school a little later, and they gave her a paper with the details of my suspension, and instructions on appealing. She has since sent in a formal appeal email including evidence that would support my claim of not owning the pen (there can be severe interactions with the meds I take on a regular basis).

If this appeal doesn't get approved, then drug possession is going to be on my permanent record. This could ruin my "good student" reputation, change how teachers view and interact with me, and it's also going to make me fall behind in all of my classes. Today was the final day of the second week of school, this shit is insane. At least I'm not in trouble at home, so it's free 9 day break (4 day weekend & 5 days suspension)!!!

TL;DR: I got falsely suspended for drug possession, but my mom is on my side and fighting with the school over it.

Class Advice Needed/Given Highschool sucks

3 Upvotes

I just started senior year in highschool and I'm already depressed. I literally spend all my time doing homework. It's the third day of school and already I have an english quiz tomorrow and a macroeconomics paper due in two weeks. Biology is killing me. I hate all my classes, including the teachers and my classmates. What's more, I go to a highschool that is known for being a "feeder" school and is harder than most colleges. I'm not even planning on going to an ivy though. Literally why do I have to be subjected to so much pressure? I wish I went to one of those highschools where no one really cares about college. Also, in the past, I've floated by by procrastinating and then doing all my work, but now, I'm actually studying and being productive, and I still go to sleep late every night. The cherry on top of today was seeing my ex boyfriend with his new girlfriend walking down the hallway. I am also fed up with school traditions. Why do I have to buy a new backpack for the senior backpack trend where we just all wear childhood backpacks? My backpack is so small and can barely fit anything, and I already have a perfectly good backpack. Why do we need to go to prom and homecoming? Is/was highschool like this for you guys? How do I survive? Was applying to college this stressful? Does it get easier in college?

Rant I hate my senior capstone class

2 Upvotes

I feel like the whole class is a humiliation ritual. Today I was supposed to write a poem about all the negative things people say about me and then present them to the class. I fucking skipped. Earlier, I was supposed to stand in a circle with everyone around me and like hit their hands or something like an idiot. Then I was supposed to stand up and introduce myself (we all know eachother) and facts about myself, to which then after a person speaks, the whole class has to clap. Except it’s not clapping, it’s like stomp stomp snap. The entire class is just embarrassing. I hate being put on the spot, I hate being forced to speak in public. Like “everyone has anxiety!” Girl everyone is laughing and having a jolly ass time!!! IM GONNA ACTUALLY START CRYING!!!!! I HATE IT!!!! I DONT WANT TO DO MORE EMBARRASSING SHIT!!!! I can present a project and THATS IT! I DONT WANT TO RECITE A POEM ABOUT MYSELF WHERE I TALK ABOUT ALL THE NEGATIVE THINGS SAID ABOUT

the class is worse than the class I took where I was forced to do dances.
