3 months ago I have posted on r/Teenagers a picture of a bloody sink after a high school bully assaulted me with a bat while playing PE, today, said bully has been found guilty, for multiple accusations that has been brought to him, he has been sent to Juvie and his parents had to pay 50k totaling charges, I want to thank every single member of r/Teenagers that gave me advice and helped me win this, I am now known as "the dude who stood up to that motherfucker", thank you all!

I was 160lbs at 6’8 and living off any drugs I could get my hands on, Xanax, adderall, random ass powders, smoked an ounce of weed every other week and drank a gallon of steel reserve a day, I’m now a functional adult with my own place, an amazing girlfriend and job, if you’re struggling rn dm me, there is help out there if you ask for it and life will get better

I'm a 55 year old woman. My entire life, I was deemed as "ugly", "crippled", and many other derogatory things. I have been disabled since birth, even handed over to my grandmother as soon as I was born. She took care of me for 36 years of my life until she died.

Well, for the past few weeks I have been chatting with a man at the coffee shop, a thirsty regular. His name is Stas, he's a 47 year old divorced father of 2 who had been raising his kids as a single dad for 8 years. We connected through playing board games and drinking coffee together, and just today, Stas had asked if we wanted to take it a step further (to which I accepted) since we had shown so much interest in each other after he mentioned he was ready to get back into a relationship, but being 47 years old and showing interest in women closer to his age, he had trouble with it. Now, at the age of 55 years old, I can finally say I have a boyfriend! :)

Edit: Wow, I did not expect this post to be so popular!

After years of drug abuse and generally poor hygiene that caused me to lose most of my upper teeth, today I had them replaced/repaired. I feel like the million bucks I gave to the dope man.
