Reply to comment by flopik in TIFU by telling Polish soldiers that I eat pussy with absolutely zero context by [deleted]

Clarification for those who are seeing it here first: it looks like a Russian missile aimed at Ukraine flew over the border into Poland and killed two citizens of a village there.

Probably a screw up rather than a deliberate attack, but it does mean that Russia hit a NATO country and killed its citizens during this war. It's possible this will trigger NATO countries including the US into direct action but it's too soon to tell.

Masturbating is not the same as stealing a police car, nor is it bad for your health like smoking. When you describe the way you would approach the situation, why would you approach it like that? It sounds like the approach of a parent who loves their child and respects their right to bodily autonomy, but the response OP got from her mum was to act as if it's an abhorrent act to be controlled and stopped. Could you imagine doing that to your child and making them feel that way?

Reply to TIFU because I didn't dance with my crush at prom by NewAgeRetroNerd

Live and learn. Take it from your homie as a life lesson. You snooze you lose my boy. You'll probably never forget that missed chance so use it as a reminder next time you have anxiety getting in the way of something you really wanna do and let it empower you to do that thing. Mistakes are ok, it means you're living your life. One day you won't have much free time and what little time you have to yourself you gotta learn to do you and get yours despite what the rest of the world around you wants. Sucks your crush moved but that's cool y'all are still close. Best of luck.

I often forget that that the US system is different, in my country they will only take the kids away as a last resort, maybe it would have been better to say tell someone, like a school counsellor, idk, I generally have a low tolerance for behavior that I see has parallels to abuse because of the experiences myself and the people close to me have had, and my reactions to such behavior are more severe

Edit: oh dear the comment got deleted

I think most of the posts here are pretty close. As the father of four kids who are now in their 20s, 30s and 40s I would have to say that feeling protective of your children is normal and perfectly okay, but when they’re becoming sexually aware and very possibly active, you need to have a dialogue about consequences and agree on how to keep them safe from those while acknowledging the fundamental change in dynamic, ie in exchange for honesty you are going to stay the fuck out of it… it’s going to happen, and you’re not going to stop it. Certainly masturbation is the beginning of the whole thing, and personally I think if it’s done behind a closed door with the appropriate cleanup, etc there’s no reason for a parent to get involved.
