I understand that yall don’t believe in God or Jesus or whatever, and that’s fine since everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and forcing that on others would be wrong. However looking at this subreddit, almost everything about Christianity is just hatred. A post saying “God loves you guys” had over 150 comments, most of which were hate comments about Christians. The small amount of comments defending the religion are also the most downvoted. Don’t yap about not forcing religion on people when yall seem to be keen on forcing it out of people. (I can already predict the crazy shit that’s gonna happen in this comment section)

Edit: this post pretty much proves my point as even though the post has gotten 100k views, 1k comments, and has the controversial and comment all time record on this sub after only 2 days, it is sitting at 0 upvotes

If you have an emergency, go to the administrators. MOST of the people who are against it are just addicted to their phones

Edit: Guys I was wrong, maybe they should have just banned them in classrooms and not let you take it out of your bag, please stop attacking meeee

We’ve dated in secret because my Dad, who is my best friend, doesn’t want me in relationships until I’m 18. For context, he recently retired from the NBA. I’m also a D1 prospect and have been working hard to make the league. I’m currently a junior and my girlfriend, Missy, has been supportive. She’s at all my games, even comes to most practices if she’s able. Missy got me a flip phone to call and text her, I do it when I’m able. I’ve gone days without texting during grind of AAU, she’s super understanding. The issue is that my Godbrother was forwarded a text from his friend where Missy was joking about marrying me and being set for life, due to my family’s financial state. Mark sent this to my Dad without my knowledge. I was awoken at 6 am and my Dad, 3 other basketball coaches, including my Pastor, were there. They spoke about how a dishonest woman can cost you everything and how I need to refocus and cut her off. I had to give my flip phone and my Dad smashed it with a hammer. I then trained for 2 hours and my Dad said I’m not to see or talk to her ever again. I am hurt, never even got to ask Missy about it. My Dad said I don’t need to ask because that text says everything I need to know and it isn’t a joke.

I do everything my Dad asks, but he’s not bending on this. Should I just forget the relationship?

Let me preface this, I'm not American.

However I live in a country where the national anthem is played every morning and we stand up, otherwise it's seen as disrespectful.

I just don't see why everyone's making such a big deal about it, it's two minutes of your life, you're not making a statement and you're not a 'baddie' for sitting down. I get that you say something about being loyal to God or smth like that. Even if you don't believe in God, will you start believing it because you stood up for the Pledge? I actually don't know.

I understand that America has done bad things to your people ect.. but where is the patriotism? If you don't have that then why do you call yourself American? I genuinely want to understand?

Ready for the downvotes 🙂

Ok, im not a Biden fan, but seriously, you would rather have Trump than Biden. Like Trump is a racist a$$ hole and a lunitic. He is a felon and a person who has done sexual assault and a moron who has no idea how to run a fair government. Hes going to ban abortion so women who didn't want a baby or are going to die from having a baby need to. And hes yapping about, "God wouldn't want that". To hell with that, the babies not even alive when the abortion steps are happening and the baby would have a terrible life if he is born. Would "God" want that. Number three, you are controling people with a religoin, I know religion is powerful but its not good to use it to run a country. Number three, hes going to stop sending help to an ally and he has the nerve to meet the Chinese President after all the racist stuff he said to Asians and Mexicans. He is one of the main reasons people are so racist and saying racist stuff like about eating dogs and cats. Like are you mental? Trump would be more insane to eat a dog or cat than any Asian I know.

Also, Biden might be a bad leader but he is now where as bad as Trump. I'd like to see Harris in power than see the ugly old pile of trash standing where he doesn't belong and smiling to the public.

A family friend did it

Bro how do yall be getting bullied . Maybe my school is chill but does school bullying even exist in 2025? What random person that you have never spoken to is gonna randomly call you some shit ? Maybe I’m tripping . But yeah bullying does exist among “friends” so honestly your fault for even interacting with them in the first place . Lmk

I’m a junior in a senior class and today was senior skip day so I was the only one there. My teacher brought another teacher in to talk about school-related issues and while they were talking she started ranting about her furry discord server/friends/boyfriend(?) to the other teacher. This made me really uncomfortable and I actually asked her to stop talking about it and she brushed me off. She didn’t say anything graphic but it was implied and I was already uncomfortable being an underaged girl in a room with two teachers. Thoughts?

Edit: she alludes to the server often and has shown other students censored screenshots from it. Edit 2: I was the only student in the classroom and was not allowed to go to a different class or the library on request. Technically if a student has no classmates the student is supposed to join another class for liability reasons.

Will I be accepted into society as a freshman with this backpack

Haha trick question I will be cause im the coolest and I just HADDD to share this pure awesomenessessness

No studying and I also slept through the first 10 minutes of R&W section 2

That’s all

Edit: Sorry if this is causing a bunch of confusion. I was unaware that there has already been drama related to this.

this is an interaction between me, my girlfriend (we lesbian but I use any pronouns) and our friend.

So I was just sitting on my knees talking to some friends across the desks in a quiet classroom at lunch when my girlfriend grabs my chin and turns my head to look at her

My girlfriend: pops a cracker in my mouth

Me: calmly eats it because this is just my partner being silly

Her workwife: that's right take it like a good boy

Yall my partner and I just burst out laughing while our other friends stared at us confused because they didn't hear the comment... this is my life...just wondering if anyone else finds this to be a common experience (P.s. sorry if I'm horrid at describing this i tried to draw out how i was sitting because i feel like it sounds insane)

Edit:I touched up some things hope this makes more sense

Okay so at my high school today there was a memorial for Charlie Kirk set up right outside campus. They let it stay for a while, but have said they will require it to be taken down. In the other hand, a student in my English class wears a white T-Shirt in which they’ve written “Free Palestine” all over and nobody seems to care. I personally believe politics should just be left out of high school, but it still feels a bit unfair to me.

I tbink it's personally unfair and hypocritical.... baseball caps are just basic fashion.

My english teacher though it would be SO FUNNY to assign us work before our final test (last day of school). I would boycott it and not do it, but i have a 81 in that class and i desperately need a B in that class. The book is also long enough that you won't be able to read it in 3 days unless you spend your whole day on it. And its due before the final test. (Almost) everyone in my class that has a high enough grade where they won't be doing it, and im left out of it :(

How can you not survive 6-8 hours a day without your phone??? Read a book, do other work, play coolmathgames, talk to friends, participate in class. There's so much to do outside your phone. You can play games and scroll social media when you go home.

You survived going to elementary school without a phone, no? (Or am I just that old.. didn't have a smart phone until 8th grade)

It's also very depressing that you don't feel safe on your school campus without your phone. Shouldn't your school have security? Police officers? They gotta have some sort of security, it's required by law is it not?

I'm sorry for my rant.

hop off reddit lmao

The phone ban is supposed to make students pay more attention in their classes. The logic is that since the student won't be distracted by the phone, they'll actually learn things.

But the fact of the matter is that if a kid doesn't want to learn then that kid isn't going to learn. You take away their phones and they'll sleep during class. You wake them up and then they'll zone out.

School is already a place that most kids don't want to go and taking away their phones just makes it a more hostile environment that won't do anything to help them.

The kids who weren't thinking of their future before this ban won't start thinking of it now. And the kids who were wanting a better future are already getting good grades so this ban is just punishing them.

This is just my two cents on this issue.

I just had a AP psychology test and there was one question about how a group of people indirectly conditioned one another and the main focus was on a person who was non binary I understand that non-binary people exist but trying to figure out if it was they the group or they the person was really pissing me off and I ended up wasting more time than I would've liked to on that question

so my pe teacher has been a massive joke on our school instagram lately because people saw he has trump wallpapers on his computer. but what the instagram posts dont show is that he also keeps actual trump flags in his office.

heres how our boys locker room works. you go in and there are hundreds of lockers like a normal locker room, but there is a massive wall window that shows the entire pe boys locker office. i dont know if its the same for the girls since im a guy, but just that alone is pretty privacy concerning. do other schools have giant windows looking into the locker rooms?

anyway, because of this massive window, you can see his side of the office perfectly. its completely covered in trump flags (trump 2016, 2020, 2024) and memorabilia.

do i say something to the school about this? will they even do anything about it? is this kind of stuff even allowed in a school?

sorry if this is normal or anything, im seriously just confused. i know that hes our president.. but at a school?

edit @ 5:04pm pst: i appreciate everyone's feedback. good to know it's all normal for the future. i personally just didn't know, as i'm new (look at my user flair!) but i appreciate everyone helping out! 🫶

another edit: no reason at all was i trying to make this political. in my personal beliefs, i just believe no teacher should post their political beliefs, (especially since how the world is nowadays) on school property. i believe students and teachers should act professionally in a space like that, with no distractions. thats all.

Can we please ban fight videos it is not entertaining to watch random people from your school fight, especially when like five people post fights in one day. Also fights are just stupid it's just some probably problemed students who don't know how to handle there emotions deciding to beat each other up. I feel like these posts somewhat promote fighting in school environments which shouldn't be promoted at all. So Mods can we please ban fight videos?

i might actually die dude like holy shit what the hell i wanted him so bad and i know there was never a chance but i didn’t know that he wanted a girl that looked nothing like me shes white and blonde and i really thought maybe u was pretty enough like just maybe but apparently not and i think i might die
