I know i’m not BU, but mum and dad are making such a big deal of this that I need opinions. AIBU to hitchhike 400 miles to see Nirvana in concert? I can study for exams when I get back. Mum and dad said they would pay for me to take the coach but that takes all the fun out of it. I never know who I will meet hitching and sometimes my rides give me drugs. And AIBU to sleep in a hedge outside the concert venue? I want to save my money for booze and pills, not waste it on accomodation

@blindassassain wet weather gear! I survived a wet race by becoming a mud creature, wet weather gear would have been the better choice!

If i put a potato behind my ear when I pierce it myself that's sterile isn't it?

DieAntword · 26/09/2018 08:44

AIBU to not want to go to parents evening?! I already know they’re going to say I’m a failure and never do my homework and I disappoint everyone, why should I have to sit through it. If my parents really want to go they can always go on their own.

(Dad tried to forcibly drag me into the car but I was more stubborn than him in the end).

Sweepouttheashes · 26/09/2018 08:44

Yes that’s how I did my nipple. The piercing hole is only a bit lopsided and the pus that comes out isn’t green, so no probs.

Thanks, knew it was sterile. Maybe I should do medicine instead of German. Would English Literature, French and German A Levels get me into medical school?

Sweepouttheashes · 26/09/2018 08:52

@thighrelief probs, it can’t be that hard. I mean you knew about the potato being sterile, sounds like you’re a natural.
Aibu to have no plans after high school beyond dropping out of society to live in a teepee in Dorset?

Sweetpout - totes YANBU. You don't need to finish high school it's just mind control anyway. Have you thought about joining the Bader Meinhof Group?

recklessruby · 26/09/2018 09:04

My mum is soooo unreasonable. I have eaten 5 packets of crisps and a twix bar sat watching grange hill and she wonders why I don't want to eat pasta for dinner. Errr coz I m full up! If I get hungry at midnight I 'll just get a big bowl of cereal fgs.
Also she was bvvu coming in to talk about dinner when grange hill was on. It's the one where Chrissy tells her mum she's pregnant. I wanted silence. She could have taken my little sister out of the room too. Sick of the noise when I m watching tv.
We have all got to shut up when dad watches the news and that is the most boring thing EVER!!!!

HairsprayBabe · 26/09/2018 09:06

My parents are the worst.

First Mum wont buy me anything from Two Seasons or Blue Banana she says it is too expensive to I have to make do with Primark and Matalan GROSS. She won't let me dye my hair black or pink either she says I will regret it when I am older but she doesn't understand this is who I am it isn't a "phase"

Second my dad won't let me wear eyeliner to school my form tutor said I had to take it off but I cried to my head of year and she said it is fiiiiine.
PLUS he won't let me have boys in my room and he says all I think about and talk about is boys. Well if I can't have boys in my room I will just sneak out onto the abandoned railway tracks with the older boy I walk home from school with and let him wank on me.

ALSO they GROUNDED ME UNTILL THE END OF TERM. All because I told them a little fib about going to a concert when I was really getting drunk in a car park... I may have had a little bit too much to drink and then my mates had to call an ambulance. But I am FINE I am nearly 14 FFS I can't wait to be 18 so I can move away and never speak to them again.

I was a nightmare from 12-14 calmed down once I turned 15 I promise.... Grin

Thighofrelief · 26/09/2018 09:07

Reckless - YANBU - Grange Hill is awesome, your mum is a biatch.

HairsprayBabe · 26/09/2018 09:08

OH and also THEY ALWAYS MAKE ME WEAR A COAT!!!

I DON'T CARE THAT IT IS MINUS 4C I LOOK STUPID IN IT AND I AM FINE IN A RATTY BLACK HOODIE.

leighdinglady · 26/09/2018 09:08

Aibu that I want to wear jeans low cut enough to show a hint of thong and a belly top that shows off my piercing?! All the other 15 year olds are and they're all dating men with cars who pick them up after school! I have to walk home with the year 9's!!!! My mum is just jealous

Omgineedanamechange · 26/09/2018 09:09

AIBU to quit college and spend all my time driving round with my boyfriend, my greedy witch of a mother says if I do that I’ll have to get a job and pay board, but I’m going to move out ASAP anyway. You can rent a flat anywhere for like £25 a week, and a fiver for bills right ?

Thighofrelief · 26/09/2018 09:10

Hairspray - OMG it's basically your parents fault you got wanked on. Save the evidence in case he is famous one day and you can auction your dress on eBay.

Thighofrelief · 26/09/2018 09:12

AIBU? My boyfriend never calls me, meets me or speaks to me in public. Does he love me really and is just frightened of the strength of his feelings for me?

Sweepouttheashes · 26/09/2018 09:39

@thighofrelief you are right it’s because of the strength of his feelings, same with my bf.
@hairspraybabe, what is it with the warm clothes obsession? Lately I’ve been ditching shoes cos I want to be more in touch with the earth, my parents act like it’s the end of the world. I’ve had a sore throat the past week and they want me to take antibiotics, honestly don’t they know it’s all a government conspiracy? I am healing myself with vitamin c tablets from boots.

^^my sore throat was strep and I had to spend a week in hospital on a drip. I was vegan and cos it was the 90s the hospital didn’t really do vegan and fed me soy milk and peanut butter on white bread for every single meal!

E, is that you? Outside TY's house at New Year?

Thighofrelief · 26/09/2018 09:51

I'm not E, but glad to know I have a sister stalker out there. If i tattoo his initials on my arm and try to befriend his mum he'll love me more than he already does. He's so cool, wears a motorcycle helmet even though he hasn't got a motorcycle.

Thighofrelief · 26/09/2018 09:59

Swwetpout - OMG are your rents foils for the Zionist Occupation Government or something. You totes need to seek asylum from their abusive mind control methods. Are they love bombing you and offering you Kool Aid?

Sweepouttheashes · 26/09/2018 10:08

@thighofrelief no but they are determined that I go to uni. Whhhyy don’t they understand I will never join the rat race and be a miserable wage slave? (I now work for the government) 😀

Who is right? My economics teacher is saying I’m not allowed to wear my fake ray bans (shades) in class as they are not necessary and I can’t see what I’m writing. But I NEED to wear them on medical grounds because I get hay fever. And the sun is, like, really bright.

Thighofrelief · 26/09/2018 10:20

Sweetpout - you are a fifth columnist though right? In your "government work". Right on!

Sweepouttheashes · 26/09/2018 10:21

Oh yeah, bringing down the system from within!

HairsprayBabe · 26/09/2018 10:32

TOTALY ALL THEIR FAULT!

@Thighofrelief TBH it worked out pretty, well he didn't become famous, but I am marrying him next year! (I don't let him wank on me anymore... in public anyway Grin)
