I’m in highschool and money was stolen from my bank account. I need help NOW posted:

I'm in highschool (just finished my frosh yr) and I’m supposed to go on a big trip this summer. I didnt have any way to get money and my parents didnt want me to have a lot of cash so they set me up with my first bank account and put $1000 in! It came with a atm card and some checks.

The checks were really cool, I never had anything like them before. But I was kind of sad because I didn’t have anything to use them for. I had a lot of friends over last week and I showed them the checks and they all thought they were really cool too. I got the idea that I could give my friends some souvenir checks. I TOLD them these were ONLY SOUVENIRS. We had a blast that day, I was acting like a billionaire and making jokes asking people how much money they needed and then writing them a fake check. I kept telling them it was all FAKE and they couldn’t cash the checks.

Because some of my friends are idiots I got a txt today from one guy saying he tried to cash a check and the bank wouldnt give him money. I told him what the f*** are you doing trying to cash the check after I TOLD you not to.

I went to the bank this afternoon to sort it out and I asked how much money was in the account. They said there was NOTHING in the account and that I owed THEM money for fees. I felt like I was going to faint or throw up so I got out of there as fast as I could (didn’t explain the situation to them).

I need to fix this without my parents finding out. do I talk to the police first or do I talk to the bank first about the stolen money? Im in MI.

I was hit by a car when I had the "walk" crosswalk symbol and they had a red light, which they ran, and originally they drove away but they went around the block and came back, I am told. I was unconscious. Someone called an ambulance which transported me to the hospital. At the hospital they did a number of scans to look for broken bones and internal bleeding and other problems from what the doctors say. In the end I was incredibly very lucky to have no very serious injuries. I had bruises and cuts pretty much everywhere but my insides and bones were okay. Now the insurance says they don't want to pay for some aspects of my care because they say an ambulance was not needed if nothing was wrong with me since I was up and walking before the ambulance got there, and that all the scans were unnecessary because they found nothing. The total of charges they don't want to pay are about $7000.

I cannot afford the portion of the bill and don't know what to do other than sue. But who do I even sue, the insurance or the driver? And can I sue them alone or do I have to hire a lawyer? I know there are some lawyers who will take your case before the case and then if they win they take money from the winnings but obviously in this case the winnings are for medical bills so paying for a lawyer would just mean I have to pay some hospital bills anyway which I can't afford so I am looking for advice. Thanks.

"hey guys I have a slam dunk personal injury lawsuit how can I handle this myself without a lawyer who does this for a living? ps the opposing party is going to be a brigade of lawyers that do nothing but try and deny claims however possible"

i have to wonder why insurance companies try to gently caress people this when it has to run the risk of the person deciding to call a lawyer and suddenly the payout goes up 3-10x.

it warms my heart seeing all the new believers recognizing the beauty of reddit in this thread.

Long time lurker, first time poster.
I graduated in the Spring of 2010 with just south of 200K in Student Loan Debt (198.6K to be precise) Many of us here are battling Student Loans and i decided that my story may be helpful to some (if anything, it can give you the at least im not that guy feels)
How I Cultivated So Much Debt: I had the brilliant idea at the end of high school to follow my dreams of being an Architect and to study somewhere that was interesting and far away to impress my friends and family back home. I chose an out-of-state private school, which over the 5 years i spent earning my degree, the tuition + room and board averaged 56K per year. I worked my rear end off my freshman year and earned a half tuition scholarship for the remaining four years. Considering that the scholarship i was awarded added up to 96K i thought i was in good shape. I thought wrong and left college with 198.6K in Student Loan Debt.

The Real World Got Real: I was staring down the barrel of $1458 a month towards Student Loans. I looked into all the possibilities: consolidation, IBR, ect. ect. This is when i found out that many of the options for easing your payments only apply to Federally owned Loans. (80% of mine were private) My best option was to make Interest Only Payments, which lowered my payments by roughly $600 a month for 2 years. 2010 was a dark time to graduate. I spent 4 months looking for a job. The best opportunity i was offered was a 6 month unpaid internship in NYC which may or may not become a full-time paid position. I came to the realization that even if i could find an architecture job,i would have a heck of a time keeping up with the impending student loan bills. I knew i had to get creative and get to work fast, my 6 month grace period was almost up. Sallie-Mae was on her way to my front door.

What Did I Do I was getting a little desperate, I had no safety net, the recession was crushing my parents and they couldn't help. When in high school i gave swim lessons and ran small soccer camps and I decided to go with what i learned from that. I started a business teaching kids how to play soccer. What does that have to do with my dream of becoming an architect? Nothing. My first year i made only 12K, it sucked. The next year 22K, the next 34K. By mid 2013 I had grown it enough to be approached by an interested buyer. I sold it for 108K in 2013, paid out over 5 years. I then moved to a different state and started another business doing the exact same thing. (side note: this was the most miserable and stressful thing that i have ever done in my life) While starting the new business, I picked up a job working for a steel fabrication company as a project manager. What does this have to do with my dream of becoming an architect? Almost nothing but at least its in the same industry. I work off commission at that job and i have steadily increased my earnings. In 2013 I made 45K total. 2014 I made 63K. This year the ball has started to roll and i am projected to make 130K!

Whats Next: I still owe 141K and I am currently paying the $1458 a month towards my loans. I also take 20% of my earnings before taxes and put it towards my loans as well. (This year through June, I have paid off 18K) I am paying my loans off in order of interest, snowballing if you will, and have eliminated all loans above 7.5% (thank you 2008 for the ridiculously high rates) At this pace, i will be able to pay the rest off by the end of 2020.

My Advice: From the get go I decided to focus on the bright side of my crushing debt. It kept me HUNGRY I have learned to be decisive, to take calculated risks, to believe in myself and to solidify positive habits. Without the loans, i doubt i would be as successful. Look at your loans as a challenge and rise to meet it!

Met this girl on a dating app. She came right out and said she would be up for a hook up only.

We go out and I take her back to my place. My roommate and three of his male friends are there but leave shortly. She is quiet the whole time. I ask her if anything is wrong while the six of us are talking. She says no and fiddles with her phone.

I ask her to watch a movie. She says ok. She starts talking about how she needs to leave when the movies starts. I joke with her about her promise. She laughs, I laugh. I move in to make out with her. She isn't into it at first. I ask her if she is ok. She says she is ok. She fiddles with her phone a bit (reception is really bad in my apartment/area). I gently take it from her and put it down. She seems ok with this. She smiles. I move in and try to start things again. She is into it.

Sex happens. After, I go to take a shower and I come out and she is gone. My back door is open. I drove so she doesn't have a car.

About 20 minutes later, the police come by and arrest me.

Apparently, she says she felt unsafe and I raped her and when I left to take a shower, she "fled" the house and went to the neighbors to call 911.
They found her underwear in my house and they said it had a bit of blood in it. I don't know how that could have happened but it could have been there before. The sex wasn't rough.

I am not sure where to go from here. They said I'd be assigned an public defender because I am so poor.

I didn't sign anything or admit to anything. I just told them it didn't happen like whatever she claimed.

They won't tell me if the rape kit came back positive for force or not and they won't tell me all of what she said.

WTF happened? How do I not to go to jail forever because of some crazy sensitive person who read the situation wrong? If she had told me no at all I would have stopped or asked me to take her home, I would have.
