28-year-old asks her ex-boyfriend to give her a financial settlement for their breakup because she moved internationally to be with him 2 years ago: ‘I didn’t ask her to drop out or move, she chose to and I supported her the whole time’
People will sacrifice a lot for love, even without the guarantee of it lasting forever. I’m sure many of us know people who have moved across the country for the sole purpose of being with a partner, and it went horribly terribly wrong. Who could forget that TikTok of a woman who moved from LA …

17-year-old stands up to substitute teacher who confiscated cochlear implants thinking they were headphones, principal gets involved and student gets suspended: ‘I started full on yelling at this lady’
Remember when you were a kid and coming into school with a substitute teacher was either the best day ever or the worst? There was no middle ground. On the one hand, you could score the perfect sub who’d pop in a movie and let the class zone out all day. On the other hand, …

Middle school was an era. Not necessarily a good one, but definitely a memorable one. It was the time of cringe-worthy fashion choices (gauchos, anyone?), aggressively side-parted hair, and math problems with absolutely unhinged premises (like Jim buying 150 pounds of fruit and needing to divide them into piles of seven). And if you weren’t …
