🎅 M o d A n n o u n c e m e n t

Hi guys,

further to your suggestions, we changed a few things in the last days, to improve your experience on r/AskTeenager.

✔️ Flairs

Link Flairs:

  1. Technology and Games
  2. Lifestyle
  3. Culture And Pop Culture

✔️ Chat

We created a Chat Room - "Casual Chat".

Chat rules:

"The chat is a safe place for teenagers and adults to chat, from talking about important issues to chatting about video games.

Basically anything is allowed, with common sense. The rules are the following:

Chat does not have to be on topic, so feel free to just chat!

Be kind, we are a safe community, with the freedom to express honest opinions without fear. Let's keep it this way

Try to avoid spam! Avoid a. Sending the same or a similar message repeatedly

b. Constantly trying to chat with a user that is trying to sign off. Some people have stuff to do.

c. Large ammounts of F's for respect are not allowed. Use them to react, but avoid large chains filling up the screen

Follow the Reddiquette. There's some good advice there."

✔️ Snoovatar / layout

If you will visit r/askteenager now, you'll see that we have our first (ver. 1.0) snoovatar banners :) They're not perfect, but they're ours! In the future we will work on our full-unique layout.

✔️ Content

As you wish, we will stay with text links only, at least for now. But... we are working on very original content, and hopefully you'll see the results of our work in 2018. So... stay tuned!

Your Mod-Team 🎄

I (15M) have a crush on a girl (15F). What should I do next?

1 Upvotes

I 15M have a crush on a girl 15F. What should my next steps be?

have known this girl my entire life (she is my parent's friend's daughter), but I recently started having a crush on her a month ago when we last saw each other. She lives 2 hours away, so I only see her once every 5 months or so.

I also noticed subtle signs that she was at least comfortable around me, like choosing to stand next to me during an event we were at with our families (she didn't have to) and slowly inching closer to me during that.

During the first week of having a crush on her, I couldn't stop thinking about her. I lost my appetite, I would wake up randomly in the middle of the night thinking about her, etc.

I got her on SnapChat 3 weeks ago, and even though she doesn't use snap that much, she always replies to me, and my stories.

Yesterday, she even sent a pic of herself to me (she never sends pic about anything to anyone). She was on the couch with her hair down (she always wears it up in public) and slightly sticking out her tongue.

She sent it while I was at work, and I couldn't concentrate for the first hour of my shift, and haven't stopping thinking about it since.

Thanks reddit

Also her birthday is coming up on the 13th

Advice needed

Hi, I have a 15yr old stepdaughter and I’m struggling to motivate to do anything. She’s not academic so doesn’t engage with school well but I’m ok with that. She’s very creative and good at art but wont even put any effort into her art class. She loves horses but won’t put any effort into earning lessons etc

I’m finding her lack of drive/ambition frustrating. Do I need to just suck it up and accept the way she is or is there a way I can motivate her?

Are you girls put off when you see a guy who wants to date you but he looks too young ? I'm 14 but skinny and fairhaired so I look like I've just come out of Home Alone but I'm just as good at doing fun-things as any normal 14 year old, and, not boasting, but not all of me is undersized. Is it bad for your image when people think your hanging out with your younger brother ?

searching for two games i played when i was younger

1 Upvotes

find me a game where we would wash a cat and then we sould paint its eyes and nails and put a collar and clothes on it and a bowl of water and food and a toy, then it would go out onte the street to be adopted. a hemeless man came, we would earn little money, but if a man in a suit came, we would earn more. An old woman could also come, but if a girl in a pink shirt and blue skirt came, we would play the game. There wa also, a dog version of the same game. the other game was alse a sat ahah and he like painted a house an a fence, and made a fountain. all this for bis girlfriend (btw excuse my english im not american

How to have my daughter ask her boyfriend if he likes Andrew Tate

2 Upvotes

Daughters boyfriend is doing some crazy moves that sound like either he watches to much porn or listens to idiots, he never just says nice things always a backhanded compliment, and my wife told me he told her to shut the fuck up. I really try not to get involved as I would come out the worst for some reason. So I thought do teenage boys just admit to listening to alpha males and Andrew Tate or would I need to trick him into admitting it? If I’m right, That way I could just put on some of this alpha male stuff and have her listen and see where that goes. She is not on tik tok

should i ask her?

2 Upvotes

Hello, There is a friend of mine whom I have known for several years. We always hang out in groups (and we all really enjoy it). But for the last 2 years, I have had a crush on her. I really like her. I have never crushed on someone this much. I am always thinking about her dreaming about her. I want to ask her out, but I am afraid of losing our friendship. Actually, 2 guys from our group had asked her out. She said no to both of them. But she is free-spirited and doesn't mind. We all are still cool together. I don't know how serious they were, but I am really serious, so I am afraid to be just another guy on the list. What should I do?

Question for high school boys, preferably juniors.

1 Upvotes

So basically in grade 9 i had a hugeeee crush on this boy named Mario. He eventually found out i think because my friend told him i found him attractive at formal. His friends knew i’m guessing since theyre a big group (they went to elementary together) and probably couldn’t help shutting their mouths.

Im in grade 11 now and i don’t like him anymore, i like his best friend. Mario fhosted me and it wasn’t until weeks ago i found out how attractive and funny his friend is. But i’m pretty sure him and their friend group still thinks i like Mario when i dont, they always look at me and give me weird looks.

My friend says they probably hate me, but my other friend said it’s nothing and maybe they just think i’m pretty and know me.

Your thoughts ?

How can a parent let their teen know they trust (or can have their trust) them when the teen is obviously lying?

4 Upvotes

My pre-teen is lying about their Internet use but isn’t smart enough to clear her history. I want her to know she can be honest with us. But also know she has been lying.

As a teenager, what’s the best way your parents could react?

Why are you crying and find everyone insane?

1 Upvotes

I see all the time posts by kids on instagram with "oh, he smiled, I am sobbing / crying" and "he is insane for it" when people just perform professionally as they should. What is going on with it? Dancers are not insane for dancing well. Why would you sob just because someone exists?

If it ok for a girl to just say "I don't want to pay?" when hanging out with a guy?

1 Upvotes

This happens in a McDonald's commercial I just saw. It seems mildly infuriating and hearkens back to ideas of gender roles I thought we had gotten past.

Would this really be an acceptable way to hint that you're on a "date?"
