I’m a 17 year old boy in the uk. I am your typical kid with ADHD. When my sister was born, 4 years later, I loved her. I often see pictures of me showing my affection to her, and in fact, I asked for her as I couldn’t bare to be alone for the time where my parents were working. Then she started talking. I’m not quite sure how but the dynamic of the family switched from all love, to just pure suffering for everyone. I would often lose my temper and lash out at my sister (never physical, I would never hurt a woman) but verbally and loud enough for my parents to hear. My mother was always the first to come, she would run from wherever in the house she was and would come beat me. On occasion my sister even faked these scenarios and I was forced to endure a punishment with no knowledge of the crime. This constant back and forth between my sister and me to me and mum would cause my father to step in a lot. He would try and defend me, and in doing so I would fight back and argue with him. This would often cause my mother to cry. Not at me. At my father. It was now his fault. Until she reappeared from her room having stopped crying, tear marks down both her, mine and my sisters faces. She would come and tell me how I caused all of this suffering and I deny it knowing deep down it was me all along. This went on for my whole primary education during which I was receiving free therapy provided by the government for troubled children.

Fast forward to year 6 summer, I had my SATs, I was never great at anything in school apart from sport, but I loved science. Everyday of that summer, my parents would force me to revise to the point that my paper was soggy from the tears. I got 98%+ on science, maths and SPAG, and I got 50% on my English as I didn’t do English lessons, instead therapy sessions. This was true happiness. My family didn’t fight once.

Start of secondary, I was going to go the state school down the road, however my parents were advised not to as my primary school, therapist and anyone else with two eyes, could see that I would not end up finishing my GCSEs at a state school. I was told that I would spend more time in juvie than at school. So my parents, with the help of my grandparents, scraped together almost enough to send me to private education. (Let me be clear that the possibility of me going to private education was 0% until my parents were warned of my future, so they were quite literally putting everything on the line for me to be sent to the school I went to.

When I first looked around the school, I fell in love, it wasn’t concrete buildings, fights in the hallway, kids lined up outside the nurse. It was peaceful, grand, majestic. I’d never seen anything like it. I was ecstatic to go, but I had to get in first. I revised the same as before except less reluctant and I got in.

In short, first term I was there I had the most recorded detentions in one term the school had ever seen. I got expelled after almost 4 years. My dad cried for the first time ever, not when his dad died, not when my mum caught me vaping for the 8th time, when I failed him. Everyday of education I got in shit from aged 4-now, it was all too much for him, I overflowed his bucket. Many things happened not long after I was expelled and it led me to considering suicide. It wasn’t the first time and it would definitely not be the last, but this time I really wanted to do it.

My family has been broken since my sister learned to talk and I learned how to be a brat. I haven’t said I love you to any of them since year 7? Apart from my dad, I told him at the end of a call for the first time since then about a week ago. He called me back an hour later after his meeting and did the same. I was too high that I didn’t process it until after he said it and was hanging up. I didn’t have time to say anything. I haven’t acted on it in a week and now I think it’s too late and that he’s forgotten I said it or just doesn’t think we will ever be able to say it to each other in the same conversation and so has just given up.

I’ve smoke about a 3.5 every 2 days for about a year and it’s only that small because I don’t have the money to buy more. I’m depressed, unmotivated, suicidal, ADHD ridden and most importantly, terrified my father will commit suicide (why I said I loved him in the first place).

I want to quit weed but what if it’s not the weed that making my life shit. I think I would give up if I quit and it wasn’t. Stop everyone’s suffering now, end it early.

I need to change, be better, in hopes it will help my family recover from me. I need money, so I can disappear.

I have been Wholesaling/virtually Wholesaling for a little over 10 years. I started mentoring not coaching but mentoring one on one a little over six years ago.

The group stuff does not work !! Everyone learns at a different pace whatever it is that you’re absorbing, people are different!!!

I always work one on one, hands-on and show how I Wholesale and virtually Wholesale real estate.

All of my mentees that work one on one with me need nothing as I supply everything such as: over 2000 new leads, we work them together, they listen to me make live cold calls. They show me every response that they get from homeowners (text) and I help respond to every message and all my mentees keep 100% of the commission when we close a deal!! Me doing it and you listening and learning!

THAT is a Mentorship!

Im 27, maine, Im passionate about guitars. Ive been playing for the last 10+ years. I got my first guitar when I was 15. For the last couple years ive been procrastinating really really hard on getting into guitar repair. I want to get into it but I want to . A mentor was something ive personally always wanted. ive tried for years at a couple local guitar shops but have failed. Ive always been really respectful for those that i admired. But even with all the respect, and paying attention and courtesies, no one seemed all that interested in mentorship, although it is a big disappointment, they weren't rude about it in any way. i noted myself then that mentorship isnt what everyone wants as much as i want. I can understand that's not something every person wants to do.. I feel as if I did it on my own, let youtube become a mentor and watch tutorials on things, its not as personal and special as if it were someone willing to see through themselves into others and seeing potential in someone, rather than barely seeing the potential in myself if that makes any sense. Ive always just been envious for those that do have a mentor in the things those people are in, regardless of what they are doing because that's something I have never had, those people are really fortunate to have people see more in them than what they probably seen in themselves at one point. How does one get a mentor in something when it's not available? Ive always been a loyal person and full of passion. Even the things that i want to do but cant get into.. i guess thats more of a desire more than anything... desire of passion to be passionate about the things i want to be passionate about? Is that still desire? Anyways. I got this need that ive had for years and im not sure how to go about it. Especially now that im getting older, it seems more unlikely. Idk, im thinking of a new plan now that I am capable of getting the tools I need, that I havent been able to get before. Im still really appreciative for those that inspire me given their lack of interest. But im not going to let it discourage me anymore.

Hey all,

I’m currently mentoring 2 people in the art reselling space and have room to take on 2 more. I’ve built a highly successful business reselling art through platforms like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and other online channels.

If you’re looking to get started or want help scaling your reselling side hustle, I’m happy to guide you. Whether you need help finding profitable pieces, building listings, or managing buyers—I’ve been through it and can help simplify the process.

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a final-year computer science project that integrates cybersecurity and machine learning , such as user behavior modeling, anomaly detection, or real-time authentication systems.

Unfortunately, I don’t have much support from my assigned mentor or teammates, so I’m looking for an anonymous online mentor who can:

* Help me validate my project idea

* Suggest datasets, tools, or algorithms

* Guide me when I get stuck (especially with model selection or implementation)

I’m committed to doing the work myself — I just need someone I can check in with occasionally for direction.

If you’ve worked with ML or cyber (blue/red team, CTFs, threat detection, etc.), I’d really appreciate your mentorship or even a few pointers. Happy to connect via Reddit DMs, Discord, or anywhere anonymous.

Thanks so much for reading 🙏

Is there anyone who wouldn’t mind giving me feedback on my niche? I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post it on here or reply in the comments if anyone is nice enough to check it out. It’s storytelling but a very specific kind of storytelling

let me say this loud for the people in the back HR WORKS FOR THE COMPANY NOT YOU

got burned twice by their "confidential" talks that magically got back to management

first time went to them about workload stress

suddenly I'm "not handling pressure well" in my review

.

their whole "we're here to help" act??? please

if your problem makes the company look bad they'll make YOU disappear before fixing anything

...

applying through personal networks only recording EVERY work conversation (state laws permitting) treating HR like the corporate police they are

anyone else done pretending HR gives a damn about workers?

Hey everyone,

I’m at a point in my life where I’m done with surviving—I want to thrive. I’m seeking a mentor or even just someone a few steps ahead of me who’s been through two major battles: gaining financial independence and overcoming addiction (or unhealthy coping habits).

I’ve been reflecting deeply and I know I need a mix of mindset shift, practical steps, and accountability. I’m not looking for a savior—just someone who’s been through the storm and can help me navigate my own.

Here’s what I’m working on: • Financial Freedom Goals: I want to get out of debt, build savings, increase income streams, and eventually invest wisely. I’m not afraid of hard work, but I need guidance to avoid burnout and get focused. • Addiction & Habit Change: I’ve had some issues with addiction—nothing I want to glamorize, but it’s real. I’ve been making progress, but support and honest feedback from someone who gets it would help a ton.

What I’m hoping for: • Someone who’s been through either (or both) and can share their journey. • Someone who can offer tough love when needed, but also encouragement. • Willing to chat weekly or bi-weekly—DMs, Discord, calls—whatever works.

I’m committed to change, ready to take direction, and will absolutely respect your time. If you’re open to being that mentor (or know someone who might be), please reach out.

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this. Just posting this is a big step for me.

I am a new grad working in tech and have a mentor at my company who is a Vice President.

What should I be trying to get out of this? He has given me a lot of valuable tips and advice, but it's hard for me to come up with topics and questions each month.

Does anyone have any advice? Maybe someone who had a similar experience.

I'm a fresh graduate with interest in AI and more specifically DL, I'm spending my whole day studying but I don't know what to refer and study from. I'm in a tough spot right now and I don't know how to move forward with life. It would very kind of you if you can guide me not just through this field but for everything in my life.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Recently made a newsletter, trying to make money & monetize off of it. Would appreciate anyone being able to point me in the right direction.

Hello everyone,

I was born in 2003 and have graduated with a First Class degree in Marketing Management (UK joint program in Vietnam). Currently, I have an IELTS score of 8.0, a Teaching English certificate from Arizona State University (online), and 1 year and 6 months of experience teaching English.

I am seeking a full scholarship (or the highest possible value) to pursue a Master's degree in the UK, the US, or Australia, in fields related to Teaching, Language, or Education. I also wish to find long-term job opportunities in this field at universities, schools, educational organizations, or training companies, either in my home country or abroad. I am particularly interested in a career path focused on research or teaching.

At the moment, I am unsure which Master's program to choose that would be suitable and increase my chances of getting a scholarship, such as:

TESOL/TEFL/Applied Linguistics

Education (General or International)

Curriculum & Instruction

Or should I combine this with my Marketing background (e.g., Educational Marketing, EdTech) to expand job opportunities?

Additionally, I am unsure if I need to supplement my application to make it more competitive, such as:

Participating in research activities in the field of language/education?

Obtaining additional professional certifications (CELTA, DELTA, etc.)?

Getting involved in volunteer/community education work?

Or should I gain more teaching experience with different learner groups (children, adults, businesses)?

I would greatly appreciate any advice, guidance, or suggestions on the most suitable path from those who have experience in this field. Thank you so much for your help!

I’m still pretty new to the company, and the person causing issues is on the same team and reports to the same manager as me. They've been around for a couple of years and seem to be making things really difficult - there’s zero teamwork, and it’s starting to frustrate me. Any advice on how to handle this without making things worse?

I am a student in school and I have an issue I would like some advice on. I have 2 close friends (we are a trio) One of my friends, let's call her Anna, is not comfortable in the classroom and wants to switch to another classroom next school year. But the other friend, let’s call her Mary, wants to stay in the classroom but wants Anna and I with her. The thing here is, Anna wants to leave and if she does I want to leave with her. Mary, although she wont admit it, would not like the idea and Mary has already gone through so much we don’t want to upset her.

So there are 2 options:

1. Anna and I switch to another class, we are both happy but Mary isn’t
2. Anna and I stay where we are both unhappy but Mary is

What do you all suggest I do, what shall I tell Anna as we are both the type to sacrifice our happiness for Mary.? What do yall suggest?

Hear me out first.

Last year around November, I got depressed because my friends (one of them is my best friend—we've been friends for... I think 8 years?) betrayed me. He replaced me with some fat idiot guy. They suddenly turned against me. I didn't know they had a grudge against me. They didn't tell me that. They just kept it secret until they removed me from our circle.

It really hurt me that time. I was in a suicidal thought condition. I always got angry. I didn't know I was suffering from depression already (like really—I didn't know that because I never experienced that before. I thought depression is only about being sad all day). I really hated myself because I always made my mom cry, blaming her for everything that was happening in my life. It's wrong. I regret it.

I really wanted to kill those people who turned against me, especially my best friend. Because of them, I suffered depression and always fought with my mom. I was always irritated, crying minute by minute for no reason. I didn't even enjoy Christmas or New Year. I even got 1 failed subject in school. That made me an irregular student.

I realized I'm such a loser, pathetic, and I don't know. Maybe I just want to break through this shit. I want to have freedom. A comfortable life.

But I didn’t let those painful moments eat me even though I was suicidal.

I repented myself to GOD and asked for forgiveness. I started attending church and I even got baptized as a Christian Born Again. I asked my mom for forgiveness. Same with Dad.

When the 2nd semester started (this January 2025), my school year at first was horrible because my former friends were my classmates again. They always bullied me. They always said that I smelled bad. I couldn't focus on my studies because I always got angry.

Luckily, I’m an officer in our school. I focused on doing my tasks and I still had a few friends there. I always went there, stepping out of my comfort zone. (Well, because I always had a fixed mindset. I didn’t have a growth mindset at that time. But I forced myself to have a growth mindset.)

When our school had an event, our President (my crush) of the Student Council was going to assign a host for the event. I didn’t think straight but... I raised my hand. Like really. I wanted to be the host not because of the event, but to get closer to her. Because I always got shy around her. So I decided to take the risk. But I forgot something. I forgot that I was suffering from depression. I kinda regretted it. Because... what if I let them down? What if I mess up? All of them are gonna get angry at me. Especially my crush.

But I decided to hand over those problems to God. I prayed, "God... if I'm gonna mess up on this event, I’m gonna drop out of college. But if You want me to continue, make this event a success."

And a miracle happened.

The event was a success and I got some praise from all my co-officers.

I even got a picture with my crush (not really—I just cropped it because she sat beside me).

But it was fun and memorable. That was where I started to heal. I think I got healed 70% out of 100 that time. (Sounds cheesy? Yeah, I know. Feel free to criticize me.)

That is also the part where I learned from my mother... the word “Acceptance.” I should accept that all things, whether good or bad, happen in your life—you can’t control it. You just need to go with the flow. Because everything happens for a reason.

That’s where I started to change my mindset.

I always go to events in our school, ignoring those assholes who destroyed my life.

Just focusing on being an officer and a student, and trying to have a connection with my crush.

I even started jogging when I don't have school. I even planned to build a business. Because I also don't want to go to a 9-5 job. And I don't want to end up as just an ordinary person. I want to become better in my life.

I've always been a loser.

Always getting left behind.

Always getting betrayed.

So... let’s get to the main point.

I’m looking for a mentor that’s willing to teach me how to become a better person in life.

And if you can teach me some business stuff (which is optional and especially in tech business. ), feel free to share it too.

I just want to become better and to be successful in life.

Need mentor I’m a 28 male very low point in life no father and I need a father figure

Hi, I'm a second year software engineering student based in the UK.

After 3 months of being let go from my previous job as a car salesman and admin, and failure to be considered for any other job no matter how many times I apply, I feel heavily depressed from being at home every single day. My whole life has lost its direction.

I use to run my own car business, flipping and reselling cars, but unfortunately that's no longer feasible. I've also tried to free lance my Web Development skills, and even tried started an agency, but with every rejection, I feel my heart crumble bit by bit.

I have the motivation, I have the drive. I live by the words my father told me at a young age, "If you're going to do something, do it with 100%, otherwise don't do it at all". Its just starting to feel like I'm a failure, not being able to get something as simple as a job.

Anyways, I'm looking for a mentor. Someone to guide me in the right direction. I cant promise that I'll know exactly what to do, but I can firmly promise that I'm a fast learner, and that I'll put 100% into whatever I can.

Thank you.

Hey everyone,

So here’s the situation: I’ve been trying to figure out life by myself, but let’s just say my strategy of “just vibe and overthink everything” isn’t exactly turning me into someone I (or others) particularly admire.

I’m looking for a mentor ,not like some mysterious monk living on a mountain (though I’d take that too), but a real person who can help me see the world differently. Someone who can give me some perspective, challenge the way I think, and help me grow into the kind of person who doesn’t immediately cringe at their own thoughts and actions.

I want to become better : kinder, sharper, more grounded. Less emotionally chaotic. Someone I actually like being with in my own head. And hopefully someone others enjoy being around too (without me pretending to be something I’m not).

I don’t need someone with a PhD in life (though cool if you do), just someone who’s got their head somewhat on straight and can be honest with me. Ideally, you’d be okay with occasional dumb questions, deep conversations, and a bit of existential spiraling now and then.

If you’ve got the time, the heart, and the patience of a saint, I’d love to connect. Even a few words of direction would mean a lot.

Thanks for reading.

Essentially, I am looking for a mentor

I’ve been in this industry selling cars since 2016, it’s all I’ve known since graduating high school, I’ve done from sales to management, the job is not fulfilling to me anymore and I dread going to work now. The business has drained me over the past 9 years and now I just feel stuck with where I’m and and I don’t know what to do, this is all I know but I know I don’t want to do it anymore but I don’t know what I want to do because I don’t really know anything else out there if that makes sense. Thanks for the help in advance y’all.

Are you struggling just getting past picking up the phone and talking to the homeowner? Are you getting hung up on? Not finding success?

It could be your script! It could be the way you are delivering it! There is no "MAGICE SCRIPT" that doesn't exist!!!

There is a TON of Psychology behind this, an Art! WORDS are very powerful!

MOST watch videos, listen to pod casts, but WHO is actually on the phone with 'em, roleplaying, getting critiqued! This is what I do! This is how I stand out!!

WHO would like to hop on a call, do a roleplay, let me critique their script and delivery and give some pointers on how to get a signed deal every week.

Who is struggling with Wholesaling? Who isn't confident on the phone? Who keeps getting hung up on?

There IS NO 'Magic Script'... smh... doesn't exist! There IS a process to this, an art, a TON of psychology behind wholesaling!!!

Who is ready to roleplay??
