Have you met teachers? I'd be surprised if any school building older then a few years hasn't been christened by some teachers working on their extra curricular activities.

Geez I understand the enjoying the thrill of maybe getting caught but not when it means you also go to pedophile prison. It'd be weird for even two teachers to have sex in the school itself!!!

Uh. In my high school all the doors to the outside had fire alarms attached except for the designated entrances and exists that were monitored. You couldn't just leave the building in the middle of the day if you were skipping a class.

drat, my school in the mid late nineties had and open campus. It was a public school but they gave no fucks if we left. Lunch time? Hop in your car and go to taco bell, break between classes? Cross the street and have a smoke. Skip class all you want but it will reflect on your attendance.

I mean then Columbine happened and then some high profile school shootings where the shooter came in from outside happened, is my guess. That and location.

It is trivial to put crash bars hooked up to an alarm on all emergency exits and have a controlled "normal" exit(s) being staffed. This happens all the time.

My [18M] Girlfriend [18f] Has Constant Romantic/Lustful Obsessions Over Fictional Male Characters and the Makes me Feel Unloved and Insecure
submitted 16 hours ago by CaptainMcPants

I'm going to try to make this as easy of a read as I can.
I love my girlfriend more than anything in the world. I find it hard to envision myself spending the rest of my life with anyone except her - However she has a common tendency to make me feel as if she doesn't feel the same way... As if she only has me as a boyfriend for the sake of having a boyfriend, and not for me as an individual.
When we first got together (April), it was a perfect example of what the beginning of a relationship should look like, in my opinion. We showed a decent amount of affection towards each other, and we seemed inseperable. It seemed the both of us were perfect for each other.
After about two months is when this whole issue started showing itself... At this time, she was incredibly obsessed with this online cartoon on youtube called "Eddsworld" (An obsession of which she's moved past by now, and has moved on to other things). Most notably she was into a character in the show called Tord. Seemingly every day she took more and more of a liking to this character, and to some extent another character called Tom. Eventually she started reading Fluff Fanfiction of Tord x Reader (If you don't understand, Fluff sort of means extreme romance novel - so petting and kissing and hugging. Basically every sort of thing people in lust would do besides sex... And the Tord x Reader part meant she only read stories where the writer inserted the reader into the story, doing romantic things with the character. So things like "He pulls you in for a kiss,a nd your lips crash together with passion as your bodies meet" are very common sentences in these kinds of stories)
She would also nonstop search for and download images of all kinds of this character. Fanart of him being cute, of him being badass, of him being idiotic, of him being sexual, etc.
And ever since then, she's done this with every single fictional man that fits her criteria is. I've noticed a pattern that suggests her requirements for obsessing over a fictional character are that they have to be Middle-Aged (But as long as they're older than her it still works), and they have to be almost irredeemable assholes who harm others for the sake of their own personal gain - So evil old man is basically her fetish, it seems. She's done this with many characters since then, and it always makes me grow to not only hate the thing they're from. She's done this with: Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Tom and Tord from Eddsworld, Haythem from Assassin's Creed, Krennick and Darth Vader from Star Wars, John Hancock from Fallout 4, Rick from Rick and Morty, a character called Daniel from a webtoon called Camp Camp, Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls, and at the moment it's Stanford Pines from Gravity Falls, and this one is bothering me the most because of how she seems to have gone totally stagnant towards me ever since we last saw each other, favoring the simulate attention her brain tricks her into thinking she is getting from her character. And now, obviously not every one of those characters falls into line with the pattern. Some only have one aspect of it, but I don't think that breaks the pattern I'm seeing.
I brought it up to her once, the fact that her character obsession, namely the Fluff fanfiction part, made me feel really bad - And she said what you'd expect from someone with emotional attachments to things like that. She said for me to not compare myself to those guys. That she just does it because she's bored. That she just reads them to read them. And in response to a suggestion I made about how it makes me feel "Don't be rediculous, it's not porn for girls."
And it makes me feel even worse when she does things like what I'm about to mention... I wasn't around when this happened, but her as well as her sister told me about it. When she was ill at one point and her body got sore all over, she started screaming things like "I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH TORD - I WANT TO HAVE A THREESOME WITH TOM AND TORD PLEASE GOD"... When her sister asked her what she would say if Darth Vader ever became real, she said she'd say "gently caress me daddy" I forget what the original conversation was, but we were making jokes about balls (like, testicals, in case it wasn't clear), and her sister said "[Girlfriend's name] do you wanna see [My name]'s balls?" To which she, with a disgusted face said "EWW no gross! His balls are probably all wrinkly and gross" which I was going to laugh off and write off as a joke, until she said "Unlike Hancock (From Fallout 4)'s balls. He's over 200 years old and his balls are perfect..." And just today, she posted on Instagram a picture of Stanford (The character from Gravity Falls) who was holding an open wedding ring box - Like the way you open it when you propose - and she added the caption "I DO FORD I DO!!!!"
And one problem I have with this is the double-standards of it, too. Like she doesn't think about how I feel about it. Case and point; one time her sister was showing me a video, "Teenage Dream by Katy Perry", and it got to a point where some VERY sexual scenes were going on, with people stripping down on a dimly-lit bed and all that. I became very vocal about what I was seeing, acting all excited and interested - when my girlfriend comes over and smacks the phone out of her sisters' hand and goes and cries under a blanket for a while. I asked her why she's so upset, and she says "It feels like you found that video more attractive than me..." Meanwhile she's saying the things she's saying about her "Man of the Month", as I call it? Unbelievable.
So I'm going to bring it up to her soon how this makes me feel so lovely I'm likely going to have to break up with her if it doesn't stop, but I would like some words of wisdom or advice of some kind. I want to know, am I crazy for feeling this way? Perhaps I wouldn't feel so threatened by fictional characters if she acted like that at all to me. We hold hands every once in a while, we hug, we sit on the couch together - but that's quite literally it in terms of how romantic/sexual/lustful/loving she is towards me.
I have a couple things going around in my head too.
1: I believe the reason she isn't that advancingly affectionate towards me is because she was molested by an ex boyfriend of hers. She says she's getting through it, and I asked her and she said she trusts me and doesn't think I'd ever do something like that so she's comfortable with me - but it's the only logical reason I could think of as to why she is just so... "I love you but I'm going to keep you at arm's length) with me.
2: I think the pattern I've noticed in her common obsessions has something to do with her father. Her father didn't treat her well when she was young, so much so that she had to be taken away from him. And even though she contantly calls him an rear end in a top hat, a child, a loser... She still loves him like a daughter loves her dad, and I see that same sort of "I'll let you redeem the irrideemable" love in the way she obsesses over characters. The characters fit her description of her father perfectly.
3: I think this obsession is a way that her subconcious is coping with her past trauma. Her father, her ex-boyfriend... I wouldn't be surprised if she's developed a very negative view on life as a whole, where the only retreat from a world where she thinks is filled with nothing but evil people, is a world like a cartoon where everything's scripted to be perfect and lovable.
I've been depressed out of my mind about this for a long time and I'm going to bring all this worry up to her soon, but I would very much appreciate some advice, words of encouragement, or constructive criticism from other people with different views. I realize I should be considerate and understanding when it comes to her traumas, but it still upsets me that she's letting these fictional character fulfill romantic desires in her that I'm supposed to be there to fulfill.... I'm not going to stand for being made to feel like this for the rest of my life, so if something doesn't change I'm going to have to end things with her, for the sake of my sanity and overall happiness.
tl;dr: My girlfriend constantly obsesses over fictional male characters, and feels things for them that she should feel for me. She uses their existence to fulfill desires in her brain that should be my job to fulfill (Romance, lust, endearment, companionship, attraction), and it makes me feel like the only reason she has me as a boyfriend is to fulfill the things those characters can't, like go with her to places and buy things. Thoughts? Advice?

My [16F] uncle [29M] is a police officer. My friends and I saw a hand on the beach at this big party. My dad [40M] is upset my friends and I ran to my uncle and told him.Non-Romantic

I will be using fake names for this. I should also add that the police have the man that did it, and he is in jail now. This whole event obviously happened a while ago. It was early last year, and that's why I am mainly writing this. My dad is still upset with me over this situation. My relationship is becoming strained over this whole ordeal. My uncle Dan is a police officer. He is in the special operations/swat team. His actual position is a police sniper.

The day this happened was the day of my moms 39th birthday. My uncle Dan and his wife Sadie offered to throw my mom a party at their house. Dan and Sadie own a beach front property that Sadie inherited from her dad. Uncle Dan and Sadie are really nice people. Dan is my mums youngest and only brother. My mum has 4 siblings. 3 sisters and 1 brother. The whole family is pretty close. As I was saying my mom was having her birthday party at this beach house. We invited friends and family. My mum allowed my friends to come as well so I had other teens, other than my siblings to talk too. My friends parents and friends with my mum, so they came as well.

My friends and I told our parents that we were going to take a walk along the beach and get away for a little bit. They said it was fine as long as we didn't go too far away. We went for our walk and that's when it all kinda went to hell. My friend stepped on something weird. We thought she may have stepped on a crab or ocean turtle. We shined our phones on it, and we saw it was a human hand not attached to the body.

We screamed and we ran all the way back to the party. We were trying to tell the adults what we saw. Uncle Dan was sitting with a bunch of other adults. I ran strait to him and was trying to tell him what we saw. He was asking us are we sure it was a hand? were did we see it? He called it in and that was that.

Now in present day my dad is still mad at me I ran to uncle Dan instead of him. He won't stop bringing it up whenever I see him. It's always go ask uncle Dan. Yeah, I did. Whenever he tells me to talk to Uncle Dan I do. Maybe that's egging him on, but I am not going to stop talking to uncle Dan because of my dads bullshit. I also don't know what to do about my Dad because it's getting stupid at this point.

tl;dr: My dad is still upset I ran to Uncle Dan when my friends and I found a human hand on the beach. Uncle Dan is a Police Sniper A year and several months later and he still brings it up.
