So I have a best friend that has been my bestie for a while. Recently, she started making fun of my body weight and being mean. I don't know what to do because every time she is mean, the next day she invites me over and treats me like the best person ever. She also started hanging out with these girls who are mean and I don't know if that is contributing. What should I do? PLEASE HELP

i HATE flaky friends like this, the behavior of the friend is toxic and manipulative. Its important to prioritize YOUR mental health. When the friend invites you over after being mean, DECLINE. Keep distance to stop that toxic cycle & dont go investing time in people who make you feel bad.You deserve respect.

How can I get my childhood best friend to like me?
I recently caught back up with my old childhood friend and he has had a major glow up since I last saw him. The problem is, he has a girlfriend and, even though I only recently caught up with him, I have a HUGE crush on him. I joined the same ballroom dance group he goes to, and we talk all the time. We have both flirted with each other a lot, and he compliments my dresses and jewellery a lot. he complained about his girlfriend a lot, (They have been fighting a lot recently) and I want to know if I might have a chance with him. Please, any advice will help

How do I deal with toxic parents, what do I do?
My parent's are so annoying they demand they they are right and say stuff like I will hit you for just a small reason and they will just keep yelling at me and they never listen and understand me.

They are so overprotective and they wont give me space, It's not normal for a parent to treat a teenager like that right? If I talk and stand up they will interrupt me and shout at me and they will also compare to me.

My stepmom always compares me with her own daughter. My stepsister is a snitch and she is toxic too, she keeps so many things from her own mom but when I share her something she just spills it all out and just imagine living with parents who wont even let you wear shorts even at home.

My parents are so strict especially at an age where we know we are independent and that we are growing up. My dad still jokes and it's irritating and I hate my stepmom and my stepsister until they came and ruined my life literally! They say hurtful words and such word that you cant even imagine and literally It's just a pain. Ever since 6 and now I'm 17 and just imagine I mean. Hope once you get this you are able to do answer but what do I do guys?

I'm totally the mom friend!
Haha this quiz got me spot on! I am, in fact, the mom friend in my friend group. Can't help but take care of everyone. Which friend type did everyone else get?

I think I'm being gaslighted...
I've been ignoring the signs but this quiz made me face the fact that I'm probably being gaslighted in my relationship. My partner makes me feel so little when he dismisses my feelings and makes me question myself. How do you handle being gaslighted?

My dad asked me if I was trans...it went..questionably.
Yesterday, (Dec 17 for ppl reading this later), my dad pulled me into his room for a chat about my sexuality because the name on my paper wasn't my birth name, it was Leo instead. He talked to me about it and I told him everything because he wouldn't stop asking if I didn't tell him everything. He said that my feelings were fake and that I wasn't actually transgender and that I was just "confused" and to think about what he said. So, naturally, I didn't think about what he said and just threw It out to the wind. Now, at least he's using more neutral terms for me like 'kid' instead of 'girl' and stuff like that which is the good part..but he keeps bringing up that I'm a 'girl' whenever he can. Like in conversations, he'll be like "Oh yeah she's a beautiful girl." That honestly really makes me upset but I didn't say anything bc he'll just shoot me down again. Now I'm apprehensive if I should push back or do nothing..Because if I push back he might start doubling down the fact that I was born a girl but if I do nothing it'll hurt me more in the long run. What do I do?
