It’s her birthday too, you know! It can be tough to share a birthday with a major holiday. I have a friend who was born the day before 9/11, and people always tell her how lucky she is that she missed that birthday by a hair. While she’s also grateful that her birthday isn’t 9/11, …

Unemployed dad demands his 17 and 19-year-old sons stop eating so healthy and start eating more ramen and cereal: ‘I don’t believe I should ask them to do that because both of those things tend to be unhealthy’
Many people don’t learn to be healthy during their teenage years, let alone as young adults. It’s a whole lot easier to eat junk food than to plan meticulous meals with the perfect amount of nutritional value, and many people never find the right balance to set themselves up for a healthy life. If you …

17-year-old student constantly insults his 26-year-old English teacher’s intelligence: ‘I’m not sure how to write an essay that’s simple enough for you.’
We all went to school with some know-it-all kids who thought they were smarter than everyone there, including the teacher. I have empathy for kids who are genuinely advanced and don’t have the opportunity to take AP classes or other challenging coursework. If a kid is actually extremely bored and unchallenged by school, it can …

18-year-old refuses to be the guardian of his 12-year-old stepsister because he already committed to caring for his 14-year-old brother: ‘My stepdad said I’m perfectly capable of doing it for both’
Many people have to accept at a very young age that they will eventually serve as full-time caretakers for their family members. Whether it’s a parent who is aging and doesn’t have enough money for retirement, or a sibling who isn’t independent enough mentally to take care of themselves, it’s a big burden to bear. …

18-year-old nursery employee leaves greenhouse without telling his boss because the temperature was 130 degrees: ‘I cannot work in conditions above 115 degrees’
There are many times when we all wish we could just walk out of the office without announcing it to a soul. Wouldn’t it be awesome if we had more free will and could just leave work and go to the art museum for 3 hours on a Thursday afternoon? In some offices, this is …

Stepdad refuses to buy 16-year-old stepdaughter $300 shoes and fast food 3 times a week, insists she gets a job to pay for it herself: ‘Now my wife and my stepdaughter are upset at me’
In my opinion, a child, tween, or teenager should be a little apprehensive when asking their parent to buy them something expensive. I know I didn’t ask my parents to buy me material things that cost over $100 frequently when I was a kid, even though I knew buying them wouldn’t bankrupt us. It’s one …

17-year-old girl calls out her mom for ignoring her because she wishes her daughter had been born a boy: ‘She’d talk about how she’d love to have a little boy of her own.’
A lot of parents experience disappointment when finding out the gender of their baby. Perhaps they’ve already had four girls and are now looking for one boy to complete their family. Maybe, they have bad memories of the way their brother behaved as a child, and think that boy children are more likely to be …

Babysitter gets injured looking after 16-year-old and 8-year-old, faces pushback for refusing to allow teen in her house again: ‘She constantly creates drama’
How much would it take for somebody to earn a permanent ban from visiting your home? For some, it could be something as simple as not cleaning up after themselves properly. For others, theft or mistreating a pet might earn such a punishment. The boundaries are different for everybody, but perhaps one standard that almost …

Mom tells teenage step-daughter not to marry a loser, despite the fact that she is a high school dropout without a job: ‘When I married her, she had no car and no job’
Nobody wants their kid to marry a loser. In theory, nobody wants to marry a loser themselves, but they often forget about that priority before officially tying the knot. We’re so willing to overlook someone’s incredibly apparent flaws because we’re «in love» and «would rather be miserable than sleep alone at night.» Once you’re in …

High school choir director makes 16-year-old star singer to perform with laryngitis, faces payback in her junior year: ‘I was humiliated. I wanted revenge’
The only thing worse than doing something that you really don’t want to do when you’re sick is somebody else forcing you to do something that you don’t want to do when you’re sick. More often than not, pushing your body when it is already run down is not going to produce optimal results. Nonetheless, …
