Hi ben, school has been really draining for me because of all the work, but this one kid keeps making fun of me me for something that happened to me this summer that was actually really traumatizing for me (im going to counseling for it already so don’t worry to much). He would also ask me personal “joking” questions about what happened too. I didn’t really care much but lately its been getting into my head and it makes me want to cry badly cause i get bad thoughts of what happened that one day. But im to scared to tell anyone about it because i don’t want to create any problems or enemies, and one of my friends is good friends with him. So school and life has been stressful lately and i don’t know what to do about it. (I love your videos Ben! They make me laugh and are one of my highlights of the day❤️! No like seriously- im being fr. I see one of your videos and i start acting like a 5 year old when they get ice cream and get to watch there favorite tv show💀. Also sorry if it was a bit long or if the grammar is bad!)
okay here is some drama i need advice on: rn i'm cutting off a really close friend (lets call her x) of mine coz of some issues that js couldn't get solved due to her thinking she is and always will be right now another friend told me that x is out here bad mouthing me but at the same time is always adding things like "but i really appreciated her" to make her bad talk seem kind and that she is in the right even tho she isn't i was thinking about approaching her n talkin it out, but at the same time i don't want to coz i would get my friend who told me about allat into sum bullshit PLUS it's not possible to talk things out with x coz she is 100% convinced that she's always right what should i do... also ben if you really read this omfg i want you to know that i will always support you n have your back w everything you go through. your podcast and your videos in general are a HUUUGE part of my daily routine and they ALWAYS put a smile on my face :') you're a reeeally big part of my life, i love you so extremely much ben, keep up your great work and continue slaying n serving as always💅💅
so my weeks drama is that I have a "friend" that has literally been so rude to me for no reason, calling me a "crybaby", "pimple face", and never standing up for me when i need her. I also found out that her and some of my other friends called me a "pick me" just because i cry a lot and have frequent panic attacks, and this has made me lose my confidence severely. She has also always treated me unfairly and was always rude to me for no reason at all, and no matter what i do she always find a way to make fun of me and would make me cry every night. sry that this is a bit longg
Drop them completely, youre a better person than them and dont need to waste your energy- but first really kindly ask them why one of their nostrils is bigger than the other, they’ll remember it for a while.
I was literally so scared when I saw the thumbnail bc I love Troye and Ben but I agreed w everything you said😭I literally love Troye with all my heart but those tiktoks were not it. It hurts bc he’s probably being forced by his label or smth. Like he’s a former youtuber he has to know how ppl react to these things right😭😭
Hii Ben!! My drama is, so basically just before I broke up for summer holidays (uk) my bestest friend moved 2 hours away from me and coming back to school was hard I’m in a friend group of 5 or 6 but it’s a really toxic environment but I have no one else to go hang out with. they can be good friends one day but they’ll easily switch up not always necessarily on me but with each other as well, I’ve tried finding others but there’s not really anyone, also the fact I’m scared too bc they’ll probably start talking smack about me and Icba any thoughts?Anyways love u ❤
hi guys musician here basically music does need marketing to be able to get big, like people need to market their song for it to get big but the over advertisement of music in this day and age is getting a bit out of hand because it’s more about who’s music can get biggest instead of who’s music is the best/ actually enjoying making music i think the worst thing was adding social media to the mix because things like tiktok music has been designed for tiktok, like they’ll put lyrics that could be good for lip syncing for eg or a heavenly 15 second part of a song for the rest of it to be mid yeah i could write a whole essay on this but i’m too lazy and no one would read it lmao
Hi, Ben. I've been having a rough time with my family lately. My older sister treats me like crap sometimes and makes me feel really bad about myself. She laughs at me whenever I cry and makes me feel invalid. Then the next minute, she's nice to me again.
I hope your family situation improves. I sometimes am rude to my sister when she crys or haves feelings. im trying to work on it and i hope we can get better together. 🩷
it’s okay! you know, sisters and brothers can be rude sometimes as a joke, but if she has taken it too far then u have to speak up, don’t be afraid. we’re all rooting for youu!❤️❤️
My drama: My best friend of 2 years left me for a popular girl, i have tried talking to her But she just says she has changed during the summer break. Even though she was with me during and after summer break, But when she met the popular girl she didn’t want to be with me. She even hangs with our old friends. She rather wanted to be with a girl she hated than me. I Don’t know if i have done something to her But i Don’t know how to fix this.
Honestly I have kind of gone through this somewhat and some friends you have will try to be popular and hang out with popular people no matter if they hate them or not just to fit in with the crowd, sometimes they’ll realize what they’re doing is stupid and they’ll come back to you if the friendship is truly meant to be, but others will just fade out and you’ll find way better friends. Honestly all I can say is I found better friends that didn’t care about popularity and didn’t care what others thought about them and those are the people I have fun with the most so try to find people like that, I hope this helps
i have some drama bennnn. so basically my parents are really abus1ve towards me but they treat my older sister like a princess, im gay and have mental health issues. what do i do?
Boywithuke is a tiktok musicians that actually does post a lot to promote his music but has gone viral many damn times. Also his music might be corny but so is life and i love both 🙏🏻
I would disagree for the non hiphop/pop music scene. There are many great musicians outside these genres, check out people like Polyphia, Unprocessed (their gold album), Gary Clark Jr., Chromeo, Paco Versailles, and more.
Drama: I started secondary school in February (southern hemisphere) and I lost almost all my friends and idk what to do during lunch. Ps: I’m a little scared to move schools
My drama: there's a girl on my waterpolo team who almost everyone hates (for sorta good reason) and I've been trying to be nice to her since we're teammates, but it's affecting my relationship with my other teammates negatively
My drama: so im friends with this girl who told me she liked a guy and i told our other best friend and like a week later she said she had told ma not to tell her specifically (she didnt) and then she proceeded to forgive me for it and we went back to normal and then last week she told me she liked someone else and i asked who and she said im not telling you because you told EVERYONE last time when i told 1 person but then i told her whatever and then she told me that shes been hurting herself because of me and she might have to drop me but ive done nothing wrong. but she calls all of our friends flat and ugly but and shes saying im toxic. ❤
One thing kind of related to this topic that pisses me off is when a streaming service posts about one of their shows in a way that a fan would. Like stfu, stop artificially fangirling over your own shit.
everyone i recommend australian indie rock/pop and midwest emo indie rock/folk rock 🤌🤌 Spacey Jane and The Brazen Youth and more like them 🤌🤌 they are life changers
drama for u! at my party a friend of mine read my dairy secretly and took photos of it. we are pretty good friends---WHAT DO I DO?! ps love the podcast!
Ask her why she did that and what will/did she do with the photos she took of your diary? And also ask her why she went through YOUR stuff and took out YOUR private diary and if she exposes what ever you wrote in it girl drop her right away ( I don’t think my advice is that good but i just think that when somebody does something like that they deserve to be dropped because that’s your damn private diary and especially if you have told her before to not touch it , goodluck )
MY DRAMA~ my “friend” had my best friend spend the night at her house and my best friend left her favorite sweatshirt, she took it and said “no I like it I wanna keep it” so I took her disco lights and said the same thing, what should I do with it?
TW!! hey Ben! I already posted a comment, but I thought of making another one if that’s okay. my weeks drama: so I have been struggling with an eating disorder for 3 months now, and it has really got to me. I’m only 12 years old and I never wanted this to happen. before I eat anything I have to see how many calories it has. I tried talking to a close friend about it and she told me that it’s okay and that it’s just food, but I feel like no one understands. I chew gum 24/7 to not feel hungry, and whenever I feel hungry I suck it up or I just eat a single rice cake. Everytime I’m trying not to eat things with many calories, my parents always force me to, no matter how many times I say no, but they don’t know about this. People have also been making fun of me because of how underweight i am, but they don’t get it, and I feel like they never will. No matter how skinny I get, it’s never enough, I will always feel bad about myself mo matter how hard I try.
Damn. Well as someone who has helped countless people who have/had an eating disorder i will say that these kind of things take tome to get over. I too have had a eating disorder and i helped my self by looki g into my self and figuring out why i feel the way I did. You might not find this helpful but if u want more tips, i got them
@@louisthe18th thank u so much. You saying that u got over ur ed makes me believe that I will too. We’re all so proud of you and thank you for helping many people❤️❤️
my drama: i had this bestfriend for 10 years and recently she told me smething and i actidentially said it to one of our friends, i apologised 5 time but she stilll ignores me, what do i do? love you. -ari
Hii Ben! So my only friend has kinda been ditching me for other people, but I don't want to not be her friend because as I said, she's my only friend. She's also been doing ghosty stuff, and she knows I don't like that kind of stuff. Do you have any advice ? P.S I love your podcats, I listen to them while I animate >:) (Week 1 of asking)
As once one of those “modern music is trash. Music in the past is superior.” kid back in 2016-2019, there is still good music out there after whatever year you named it, but you really need to dive it in the rabbit hole with specific keywords or wait for it to come randomly in a form unnamed audio in TikTok. Most of the time for my fav songs, it’s either old songs from 2010s, 1930-1990s or small artists with a single viral song that I genuinely like their styles. Music isn’t dead. It’s just forced to adapt into the new context based on choices of those who live within that specific society at the moment with hands and eyes of the elites and the companies lurking behind the play screens, expecting the music they released to grow and benefit them as much as possible.
Addison Rae is such a good example of she actually has good songs but her label did not allow her to release after obsessed underperformed? Which is her worst song in any case
my drama: i love my best friend so much but during school she will constantly distance herself and then get upset when i can’t hang out with her outside of school. what do i do.
Hey ben i'm a big fan of the podcast!! I'd love your advise on my drama, so there's this girl ik and we used to be really close until maybe the middle of the summer as she was talking shit about me to my bf at the time and expected him not to tell me (also some other stuff but trying to keep it short) Now I've fully stoped being involved with her completely but she keeps telling my actually nice friends that i hate them and I'm using them? so I've lost half of my friends after they called me self centered tbh school sucks now and i already find making friends really difficult and they knew and it. I'd love advice, sorry for it being long!!!
MY DRAMA: so basically my friend doesn’t talk to me and hangs out with the person that we both agreed we didn’t like and now won’t talk to me what should I do?
There’s definitely a clear difference in “tiktok artists” who literally make a song based on a current trend or for it to go viral/ ppl making tiktok dances out of it and artists who just use tiktok as a way of promoting themselves/gaining more exposure.
*My drama* : I have had a crush on this guy in my class for about a year now and he flirts with me but think its just for fun. Wtf am I supposed to do?! (I'm really freaking shy so pls make it helpful)
Hey Ben here’s my drama, I was on app where you can talk to people and I just met one guy on was really weird, disturbed but anyway I try to be nice with him because I didn’t want him to feel bad and all, but at the end of the conversation he told me that he was about to kill someone 😐 so I blocked him and report him AND HE WAS DEADLY SERIOUS
My heartless friend finally found love but our other friend already asked out the same dude please help ben😭 this friend is a real rat and we honestly want to cut her off (For other reasons we aren't ones to overreact over a guy) but she might victimize herself as per the usual, kinda lost rn we need ben's wise words of wisdom
Hi Ben here is my drama it is 3 sentences so basically I have a freind that I have been friends with for Awhile now and suddenly she just started acting weird and liking me less and almost always leaving me out and I don’t know what to do because if i let go of her I let go of all my friends help.
