Question by m.i.s.s.: What causes an addictive personality?
If you’ve never done drugs or alcohol
an addiction to anything that catches my attention in that way….like there’s things that give me a high and it literally feels addicting. like I’ll feel obsessed & in love with it in a good way & it’ll give me anadrenaline rush even though it’s not really an adrenaline-giving type of thing.

Question by Brendonn (:: Do you hate when your parents rant on about how much they do for you?
I mean yeah, I appreciate the stuff they do for me. But I hate how they try to make me feel guilty for it. Must I list how much of a good kid I am compared to what most teens are with their parents? I DO my chores, I do them the first time they’re asked of, I buy everything with my own money, I pass school with A’s and B’s, and I even say “please” and “thank you”!! And yet they still have the audacity to say I don’t appreciate them.
