I’m 24, I have a 2 year old son. We watch movies on the tv, together, but there are certain shows and movies we just won’t watch. Coco melon is not played here, and tbh I don’t know how parents let that shit play. It’s so irritating and the voices are just slightly off beat and bad.

[@mar420.74]

​@@evelynwright329 my cousin who isn't very responsible but uh.. she's trying i guess and im not even a parent so i can't say much but she just sticks a tablet or a phone in her face always to get her to be quiet and that's all she warches is cocomelon and it's the most uneducational and irritating to listen to rather than what i watched growing up like the backyardigains and blues clues like.. it just feels like brain rotting

My drama: (TW: eating disorders, eating problems and body dysmorphia) in my school they serve school food. I am really grateful that my school offers food to their students in my country, so students that are having it hard with food at home don’t need to worry about bringing their own food. But sometimes I’m just really disappointed with what they serve, But I’m not even a picky eater at all. The food is just really bad quality and they don’t have a lot of money to buy food that students actually want. Some times me and my friends will go a whole 7-8 hours of school without eating anything due to the schools food. Another problem is that they always have signs that tells you the max amount of for how many portions you have to take so that the food will last to everyone. I do understand this, since they don’t afford to buy food for everyone in the whole school, but this thing can also be really triggering. I myself don’t struggle with any eating problems or body image problems but almost all my friends do. And I try my best to help my friends thru this at all times. Sometimes my friends don’t want to take more food because their scared that other ppl will shame them for it. I always offer to take more food for them. Even when it says a sign “max 5 meatballs” or “max one bread per person” I don’t always follow them. I don’t know if that makes me selfish or anything but like what am I gonna do, starve? Sometimes the signs feels like they’re are expecting that “no one could ever eat more then 5 meatballs” and it’s not great. Once a week they serve fish that is brown and watery with boiled potatoes. Other days they literally serve liver steak? Like wtf? Either way this thing has really affected mine and my friends mental health, in terms of literally never eating lunch and continuing being hungry and tired for the rest of the day. I am really sick of this problem and when I have spoken to my parents or the teachers they just say I’m being dramatic and I should still eat it. And I know they say that for my own well being cause I obviously need to eat something but it just feels like they don’t get it. I am soon changing schools tho so I’m praying the food is better there. Love you and your content Ben hope you can give me some advice for this. 😻🫶

[@Tyx1d]

So did you change schools yet? If so does it have better food?

my drama: i’m dating this guy, and this girl likes him. like obsessed. she’s started rumors and tried to cuss me out already. he’s told her he doesn’t like her and she’s making it my problem. what should i do to get her to realize it’s not that deep? (also she’s called me multiple racial slurs)

personally, i think tiktok is a entertaining app but the amount of horrible stuff and ridiculous things people influence on tiktok is just shocking 😭😭, like the submarine incident thing that happened awhile ago which ppl where literally MAKING FUN of dead people..like what? 🙁

[@ITZCUP1XX]

As someone who had social media as a young kid, (like 5 years old) I have been exposed to lots of sexual content, I have been groomed, and I am very bad with social interaction. I wish that my mom would’ve limited my screen time but she didn’t. And I hope if I ever do have a kid, to make sure they aren’t on social media so much and can live a nice childhood. Social media is not for kids, and they shoukdnt be on it as much as they are. It is very, very sad.

Talking about the gen alpha/young Gen z not being able to read is real for a lot of us. I’m in that age demographic and holy a lot of my friends literally are so bad at spelling and writing in general. Sometimes I have to read my friends messages like 5 times over just to understand the gibberish they’re spouting. I’m so grateful that I’m decent at writing and reading, but my friends aren’t that lucky. If I can I’ll edit this with some examples of gibberish given by my friends, I might not be able to tho.

[@nerdbff]

I’m gonna put it in the replies instead; “i thought u didn't carr” “She new anyway she could tell” “Ring person sorry” “Did u adopted her sister too or no”

[@bounce9434]

33:00 yeah i totally agree that there are too many people who can barely read in my school (as in year 10-8’s, which are 14,15,16 year olds) who can’t spell words like “advantageous”, “sugery”, and one even couldn’t even spell “flood”! A lot in my experience have trouble with pronouncing words that have more than 5 characters that are slightly unfamiliar (without a ‘weird’ spelling). This is australia.

[@ADDICTED2UUU]

My mom (late gen x) always talks about how kids and me (gen z) always believe stuff we see online. Like, yes very true but she’s the kind of mom who sends you random Facebook and insta reels. I don’t really think it’s the platforms fault 100%. In my opinion I think it’s 50/50. Partly the apps and partly the amount of brain rot content we are showen from a young age. Mostly gen z and gen alpha. But in recent years platforms such as Facebook have been adding aspects of brain rot into it. As a whole our generation is just rotting from the inside out. Gen alpha is gonna be a scary new gen if TikTok isn’t banned. There are kids like 10-12 on that app. Some of my friends have had it since they were 8. It’s purely unhealthy.

i’m a junior in high school and even now it’s like 1 in every 3 students can’t read “fluently”. They will like stutter and skip over words and mispronounce basic words, and i get it could be for other learning problems but it’s even 06/07 kids can’t read as well as people used to.

I may not read "fluently", but I do have good grammar. I can't say that for everyone else in my 7th grade.

[@bbybluebutterfly]

There's a trend where people are talking about their dislike of, "preppy," style and their have been some accounts of people who like preppy aesthetic making fun of y2k, clean girl, downtown girl, etc. aesthetics. There have also been people satirizing the whole situation and posing as preppies and pretending to hate the aesthetics I mentioned above. Reading the comments, I've found that a LOT of people don't understand that the accounts are satire, and as unserious as it sounds, it's honestly really concerning that people can't tell the difference.

My nan (who I live with) made the mistake of doing this to me untill I was 14 and I got bullied so badly and it was very hard to fit in and find friends untill I found a way to wipe my phone. I really wish I hadn't got as sucked in to social media as I am now and regret not listening to my nan, but I also hate her for what I went through without a phone, especially when everyone around me had social media it was really hard.
