>I’ve just been put on an improvement plan so assume they’re trying to get rid of me

Don't assume this, especially if you have 10 years with this company. Work the plan, apply yourself and show them you're willing to improve. Going forward, whether with this company or another, don't vent to your boss. Vent to your friends after work. Your boss is not your friend. It's an axiom of business that you don't bring a problem to your boss if you don't have a solution, it doesn't have to great solution and don't expect it to be implemented, but it shows that your thinking and not just complaining. Also if your lucky enough to have a good boss and good relationship with them, support them both in your work and your words. Don't mean to sound cringe, but this is a real learning opportunity.

Happy birthday sweetie. I’m a mum and I am sending you the biggest hug and virtual cake. You don’t need those selfish people - they aren’t your family. You will make friends who will become your family. Blood means nothing, I’m just sorry you’ve had to learn it so young.

As others have said, keep your important documents safe - birth certificate etc - and set up your own bank account in a separate bank as soon as you’re old enough. Start saving and get out as soon as you can. Cut them all off and don’t look back; you deserve so much better and your life will be better for it. You absolutely deserve gifts - set up that Amazon wish list!!!!! Tell your counsellor that you don’t feel like you deserve better, this is something he/she needs to work on with you. Because you need to learn and realise asap that you have done nothing wrong whatsoever and they are to blame here, not you. You deserve better, you are worth everything, and one day you will realise that. 💜🎂🍫🍦

I know alot of people have already said the same but I cannot just not say this. I feel so bad for you and I’m truly sorry the universe gave you such a shitty family.

Please don’t let these people make you believe you’re not worth any less love than anybody else. You’re such a champion for enduring this and finding the courage to reach out too.

Gaurd your self esteem with everything you have and don’t let these people take it away from you. Have no doubts that what your family did to you was absolutely horrible and no human deserves to be treated this way. Please find the strength and hope to find new people who will love, respect and cherish you the way you deserve.

All of reddit loves you ❤️

One trick I just found when searching online was to zoom in a little. This depends on which app your using and how it's built. I tested a few apps on Android. Google Photos and Google Messages successfully locked from scrolling after zooming in slightly. On Samsung Gallery zooming in slightly helped prevent accidental swipes however if already scrolled to one side and another swipe gesture thats long enough comes around it'll still scroll
