Hi ben, I have a drama for ya: so my school got on the news because there was a huge fight and many people got hurt especially the teachers, one of then got a black eye, one got injured on the leg..but anyways, the whole reason of this fight is because of TWO girls, who got in a argument on social media and they were talking bad about people. There was not one,two,three but four fights in the same day cause of that, I'm recently got back to school and many teachers quit cause of this whole mess. ANYWAYS LOVE YOU BEN!!❤❤

I drove into Canada a couple of times with a friend, getting into Canada took 5 minutes. Getting back into the US, *AS A CITIZEN*, took 2-3 hours. Just for a casual day trip, this country's border and immigration process is a nightmare and I have MAJOR respect for anyone who has the strength and persistence to make their way here, legally or not.

[@hummingbirdy]

hey ben, thanks for sharing your story :( i know some people who had to go through the whole visa process where their visa got denied at first, and it took years for it to be approved. not only that, but some of their close ones' lives were kind of put on hold too because they were waiting for this person to be able to live in the us with them. and it was just heartbreaking to see them hopeful but then their hopes get crushed again and again. behind the brightest smiles, theres always the troubles they go through... but im so glad that this ones over for you :D i hope you have the BEST time starting your new life :)

[@meld3vine]

Ben, you are so strong and you've been through so much and to make us happy at the same time means so much, I'm so glad that you've been able to fulfil your wish and finally move, we all love and appreciate you more than you know, I hope your future will bring great things :) ❤

Hello Ben! Viewer from Korea ❤️❤️ I have some drama. I go to this church where there is this boy who is major creepy. At first, I only paid attention to him because nobody liked him. However, that seems to have developed into this obsession because he keeps trying to get my number and is all touchy…. Keep in mind I am a minor, and he is 24. I have tried communicating with the higher ups for help, but because they don’t want any drama, they won’t do anything about him! He won’t stop harassing me and my father has submitted multiple complaints without any action. I cant avoid him unless I stop attending all together. What do I do? (Sorry if my English is bad!) Lots of love ❤️!

[@almost_eden]

hi! I get that this is very normalised and shd not be so. since everyone doesn’t seem to like him already, please tell everyone that goes to church with you about what he’s been trying to do. u will be safer with all these ppl aware. if not, pls change churches and don’t hesitate to contact the authorities.

Hey ben, I got some drama. So this kid at school is always creep to the girls. He would claim to be asking out a different girl everyday, and would even follow her for the rest of the day. Anyway, one day he started teling people he liked this girl in the grade below us. The problem with this isn't that shes a grade below him, but that the girl is my classmate's younger sister. This resulted in the kid starting to tell everyone that there was going to be a fight. The fight would apparently take place where my friends and I always sat, so we decided to see what happens. My classmate didn't even want to fight, the boy was the one who wanted to seem cool, while my classmate just wanted to tell him to stop hitting on his sister. Once they got outside, they started arguing and cussing each other out. The boy sat down near us, and started telling him that he didn't like his sister (even though he clearly did.) and started kicking my classmate. My classmate got sick of this and slapped him. He started crying and holding his face. After talking to other people, apparently the slap could be heard from across the cafeteria. Long story short, we got questioned by our principal, and we told her that this boy was incredibly stalkerish and creepy. Instead, my classmate got more punishment then the other kid. Even though i think they both shoulve been punished, i still think the weird kid should've had a worse punishment. So, what do you think? Sorry for the whole essay, i just want to know how you feel about this. 😅

Hi Ben, here's my drama: my friend group of 4 was split when 2 people fell out and I tried to ask everyone why, but they each refused to tell me (we've been friends for 9-7 years). A day after I found out, my grandmother passed away suddenly, then in the same week, my grandfather and father were separately rushed to Emergency. Although, the friends did not fall out with me, none of them reached out despite knowing what happened (It's been 10 weeks since). Do I officially cut ties with them? If yes, how? P.S I rly hope you're doing well + this is my comfort podcast ❤❤

[@stella-pl3hz]

Oh my god, that must be really tough. I really hope you are doing good now. Having your family members passing away is the absolute worst. And you going trough it by yourself must be so traumatizing. It’s sad for your friends, not helping you trough this whole experience you’ve been trough. I think a friend should always be there for you no matter what. I’m sending you so much love and care and I hope you get better. Just know that no matter what happens, everything will be okay. You just have too fight trough it, stay strong. ❤

It sounds like you've been through an incredibly difficult, lengthy and anxiety-inducing process to get a visa and move to the US. I can understand how frustrating and emotionally taxing that must have been over multiple years. However, it's amazing that you persevered and finally succeeded in getting the visa and moving to LA. Despite all the obstacles, you stayed focused on your dream and made it happen. Not everyone has that kind of determination and persistence. I'm glad you have a good circle of friends in LA now. It seems like you're entering this new chapter with maturity, gratitude and a clear mind. I wish you all the best as you start your new life there. Change can be both scary and exciting, but it sounds like you have a positive attitude about what's to come. And it's great that you plan to stay connected to your Canadian identity and roots. The best of both worlds! Wishing you happiness in your new home. You've earned it after such a long journey.
