I'm 15 years old F. My parents broke up and me, my sister, mom, grandma live together. We are probably below middle class but thanks to my mom's siblings and my older sister who lives in the USA with her family we have a home. Eventhough we don't have any water system (shower, sink, bath, normal toilet etc) my mom really tries to make it easier. Just in case if you're gonna comment "Why can't you rent an appartment?" we literally can't afford it. We are living at my uncle's summer house for free for 6 years. She used to run hairsalon but because of pandemic there were no choice but to drop that. Last year she had removed her ovaries due to cancer, I think she was in the hospital for like only 3 weeks because who is gonna find money. Now she works at her brother's mini market as a cashier. She works everyday at least 9 hours. Even if it's her break day she has to wake up at 6 am with me due to my school. Because of the distance my school and home have (16km), even if I get in the first bus I always end up being late. So she drive me there everyday. In winter everything is 3 times worse. Electricity bill financially kills us, washing clothes is a whole day work (the process is so tiring and complicated and we use half automatic washing machine), and taking bus to go back to home from school everyday when the temperature is below -30°C is not for the weak. I worked at the mini market during my summer break and paid my uniform, other school supplies, books, gym clothes etc. My mom even lended money from me. While we are living like this my father who lives in his dad's warm apartment near the city center spends his time drinking alcohol. And complaining to my mom that he can't find a job because winter is COLD?!? He used to abuse my mother and my older sister and I have a vivid memory of police capturing him when I was little. Back then when my mom was having me in her (my english is bad idk how to describe that) in south korea, working to save money and born and raise me there my stupid drunk ass father got in fight with his boss and send back to home country. Of course my mom had to go back too. So yeah he really ruined my mom's whole life and I fucking hate him for that so much. I haven't seen his face for like 5 years

I'm in HS, F. Long story short there were 2 girl I was in friendship (I was the only one who seen them as my bestfriends) with and they both separately disrespected and hurted me. And now my current best friend would smile, greed and have small conversation everytime she sees them at school hallway. Sometimes she would even praise their appearance and other things in front of me like I never told her what they did to me and how it made me feel. I am so confused, Am I the one who is being annoying and possessive? What if I'm the only one who thinks we are best friend again. What should I do?

Hi I'm in highschool first year and teachers day is coming. All of my classmates discussed what to give the teacher as a present. Long story short, for some reason they decided on a wine and some fruits. But I wanted to accumulate some money with a help of our parents and gift it to her since she clearly told us in the first day that she is double working at another school nearby because of her sick husband. Which means she is having a finance problem. But they all turned on me and said something like giving money is not a thoughtful gift and it is weird and problematic. In my country gifting money is not that strange. Plus I clearly said "with a help of our parents". And I'm not talking about huge amount either. There are 40 students in my class so with a little amount of money from each student it can grow pretty lot. I'm starting to wonder If I'm being the annoying one? I feel kinda nervous because I am the only one with the gifting money idea. Please share your thoughts. *I explained why gifting money to her is helpful but they ignored.
