You can find good shoes in thrift stores for men as well, but it really pays to know what you are looking for. I have found some one of my nicest pairs of shoes there, but have not found any decent sneakers ever.

I find that buying used from people (app/website etc) is usually a better bet when it comes to shoes though.

if you can find a part time job just 2-3h a week or so it will add up a ton, but don’t let that money distract you from studying

You can usually look up how to fix your own clothes online. It's a good skill to have, should save you some money (and grief).

same here just not formerly townsville

well you have a phone so you can probably learn

all you need is a needle and some string/yarn, i know u can do it

Both my husband and I came from families who had financial struggles when we were kids and we both went through the same issues with name calling, blisters and constant wet feet in winter. We now have good jobs and our own home and you best believe we have the biggest cupboard of shoes and both our moms get everything they want. I’m so sorry you’ve had a tough start in life but you sound like you’ve got what it takes to turn it around and one day you’ll have the last laugh.

I grew up poor in the south west, I know the feeling. Let me know if I can do anything to help. Maybe I can mail you some shoes in. I'll do my best to make it discreet

Something like that can come only from women. Every man knows that you sit on toilet atleast 25 min. Or until someone else start knocking.

Just walk to shower, take quick shower and you are good to go.

I skimmed to the meat of the post so I totally missed the 10 years so that's my fault, but like I said, everyone else had already eviscerated OP so I figured I'd try to at least give some helpful advice for the future. You're right though, after 10 years this should have been known.

Get in the shower

Kenny?

(In all seriousness OP, I know it's cliché to say this,but pay no mind to these young idiots. By the time you've forgotten about them, they'll be feeling existential dread every night once they realize what insensitive pricks they were)

I got a bidet attachment for all the toilets in my house ...best 60 bucks I ever spent. This is never a problem anymore lol

Wow someone helps you so much and the cforst sign of weakness you stabbed in the back. Wow. Think u getting what you deserve. Also she was a saint putting up with you venting to her.

Pizza dough isn't hard, and there's lots of recipes that only take 15 minutes.

I would cut it using a large glass and make circular calzones with a few different fillings (I'd do cheddar with ham, and pimento cheese, plus a few that are cinnamon sugar). Seal the edges with a fork. It just looks nicer.

SE QLD :) formerly Townsville!

Where you at? I’m up in North QLD

Hopefully OP sees this. I'd love to chip in, from Australia too

Usually when people say stuff like this they experience their first intimacy in their 20s at the earliest, not at 16, which is probably not uncommon at all for “first experiences”, and I would argue it’s still a bit early.

Yeah, do that. I’d shout a pair of real Nikes, and would love if you picked something for your mum as a treat to OP

Well said!

Same. Amazon list, with some new shoes, maybe?
