That back when I was 12, I was insulted, by being touched inappropriately by a student, even though I told him: no, he won't stopped it.. I was 13 when I finally told someone about it.. and if someone is inappropriately touching you without your consent, report it to someone, cause that person who did that to you can, start doing it to somebody else by insulting them, stay safe out there..

In my country, when you sign up for the army there's an option to send a spit sample to a research lab to see if you're fit to donate bone marrow to people who need it. I decided to do it and didn't think much of it later. About a month ago I recieved a call where I was told I got matched with a 50 year old woman. None of my family know. I already gave them my blood sample, and I'll soon know if I'm fit to be a donor. It's still a shock to me that I might be able to save someone's life.

I am very aware I was never wanted by my mother. She died, and I felt nothing for her considering how many times she called me her little "failed abortion." I also know where everyone keeps the drugs they thing I don't know about. There is only one person I have any respect for in my family and the second they are dead, the police are going to have the biggest drug bust in the last decade. Which, considering the way that my grandmother's will was handled, will also turn into an audit. And I will not be losing a single wink of sleep

Story 14: I feel that person, imagine having to lose your favorite people to something very sad. Personally I sometimes call my bro "best friend" because he supports me and makes me laugh everyday and he still doesn't know. losing him would be such a struggle will make my life miserable and possibly depressing.

To make it short I kept my secuality a secret When they ask me who i want to marry, i would reply with "i don't want to marry anyone". Its not really a good excuse but they stopped bothering me about it.

My family doesn't know that I want to be a full-time KZfaqr. Every time they ask me what I want to do in the future I just say I "haven't decided yet", but in reality I just don't want to tell them I wanna go for such a risky profession because I know they'll be skeptical. It's been my dream since childhood. I'm currently working and saving up for a new PC, and I study editing in the little free time I have. I haven't started my channel yet because I'm terrified of what will happen if I put myself out there, but I know I'll have to soon. I also never finished my finals due to personal struggles and the pandemic, but the real reason I didn't go back and finish them is because I see no point in it. I don't wanna live my life working in a profession I don't like just because it's deemed "safe". I want to have actual impact on the world and spend most of my time doing something I love and have the potential to be very good at

I never told my family that I have written two books, and that I am currently working on my third. I hope this one will be good enough for publishing. I haven't told them because the books were not good enough and because I know they would say hurtful things to me. I was once telling them about how much I wanted to be a writer so others would read all those stories I imagined. They were telling me stuff like "You are not sociable enough." "Writers don't make that much money." and "You are not talented enough." I don't know what makes introverts bad at writing. I have never cared about the material things that much while at the same time am willing to have a day job. I know they never tried to even read the stories I wrote, so they don't know about the scope of my abilities. They now think that I have given up on my dream. In reality I just stopped telling them about it. I plan to just come to them one day with the signed copy of my book. No telling them about how I am working on getting the book published, just hide the fact from them until I havea physical copy ready.

I have so few secrets from my immediate family any more since some very emotional teenage conversations. But wow, the fanfic one hit home. My 10-year-old AO3 account with mostly mature content, that I'm amazingly still proud of looking back, has yet to be discovered.

I have Aspergers and my parents don't think I can do things or things are to hard for me like Art, English and History. They don't know I have been writing a book and doing the artwork for it since 2020 they are also unaware that I have an IQ of 156 as I got my self tested when I went to Collage.

My sister and brother-in-law don't know that I'm the reason they're younger son accidentally singed off his eyebrows with bug spray.

"Mom, you have the memory of a goldfish" sounds like my mom.

I love my parents and people are going to say I have the middle child syndrome. My husband and I were transferred across the country eight years ago none of them have come to see me. But if one of them needs somebody to take care of them when they're sick they call me and expect me to drive 16 hours or fly eight hours. I have a problem the doctors can't figure out what it is I've lost down to less than 100 pounds and 5 foot three that's nothing but skin and bone is in the hospital for two weeks. Did any of them come out to help did any of them call no. So I told them I'm done I can't do it anymore!

Story 27: hits home but in a different way. I’ve been aiming to go into comp sci for money security reasons… but as I’ve been working with my school in the drama department, I realize that one day I’d love to be a stage manager or director. But I have my fears that either I will be really bad at programming stuff, or that theatre stuff isn’t actually my thing and I’m just going through a phase. My family doesn’t really know about this but I don’t really plan on talking to them about it because I usually keep my plans to myself so I can make up my own mind and be in control of my future (or whatnot ig lol)

For the guy that posted about his degree in cyber forensics, I'd suggest that he includes that on an application to join the writing team/computer analysis team cast on a cop show. Also, maybe write a fiction novel with the main character having the same cyber forensics skillset and structure the story like what's in the Alex Cross series of novels.

im the youngest in my family, and I'm seen as the kid who is always happy. but in reality, i often hide what im feeling with a mask of happiness. there have been times when i would go in my closet to cry just so that they don't hear me.

The best thing I've done to get out of "family events' (really only one at Christmas) is to work an overnight shift. They always schedule it on a Sunday, which, Oops! I gotta go into work at 8!

Number 15, had me in tears. Not cause the debt, but the dark and numbness feeling. I took action to help alleviate it and it’s helped but I’m so in and out, up and down I’m having to press on for more help. I had to surrender my 9mm gun cause I didn’t trust myself anymore with it.

The quick insert of had me cracking up 🤣

Having Grunkle Stan in the thumbnail was brilliant

Ah yes, Grunkle Stan! Now THAT’S a thumbnail I can stand behind (literally, in his case)!

Hey, does anyone have any socials for the one who voices for this episode? He is *by far* my favourite one who reads posts for this channel, he's so damn fun and would love to see if he posts other stuff other than Am I The Genius?.

I write an online manga. The characters in my avatar come from that online manga. My family would have an utter meltdown if they found out.

That I hate them for being narcissistic and always letting me know I don't matter..blood isn't always your family

It's so sad that most of these are about suicide 💔

That my depression has spiraled out of control and I've completely stopped caring for myself, all I do is for basic survival because of their constant unchecked belittling of me. And that regardless of the emotions I show, I feel as if I'll never be okay enough to function like a proper human.

I am halfway Through listening to these. I cannot It. They're also depressing. I was so hoping for some fun ones. Such as I kept sneaking out at night my parents didn't know, I skipped class when you thought I was going to school, I was high a lot when I came home from work school anytime, I told you I was going to Susie's house when I was really going to Johnny's house. You know some really fun stuff but whatever hopefully reading mine makes you smile a little bit.😮

My parents don’t know I $h. It’s really because of them, but I won’t say anything out of fear

The "friend" that comes over sometime is my gay lover

My secret is I have a child my parents never knew about. They probably never will since it was a teen pregnancy and I gave up my parental rights. My child lives on the other side of the world and never met her in person.

They were the reason I didn't play basketball. I would practice everyday and was really, really good. They thought I just didn't want to. The real reason is because I knew it would mean being stuck at school for hours with no idea if I would have a ride home or not. Then, I would be blamed for "not telling them." How hard is practice being everyday to keep track of?

My family think I’m still a virgin… 💀

I’m a crime fighting super heroine.

I dislike peanut butter, and for some reason, my relatives always get some for me even though I've explained that to them EVERY SINGLE TIME IT HAPPENS.

Congratulations to the guy on 17:16

So my mom is one of those strict moms who are like “no dating until youre 30” so i’m not allowed to wear makeup, curl my hair, or have a crush. But my secret is I have a crush (im 15😀)

My home has a security system where you need to type in a pass code to turn it off. If you open the front or back door of my house it will set off an alarm. One time I saw my dad put in the pass code, I put in the code I saw my dad put in just check if it was the right one and it was. Haven't told anyone it until now and You never know when it may be useful.

I don't tell my family and you think I am going to tell you?

My biggest secret is that I (34m) am bisexual. I come from a conservative family, and I am also conservative, which makes it harder to admit to.

The reason I never got my GED and haven't done anything with my life is because I'm scared that I won't be able to accomplish the things I want, no matter how hard I try. I was serious about getting my GED previously, but no matter how hard I worked at it, I couldn't wrap my head around multiplying or dividing decimals or fractions. Just trying stressed me out so much I'd self harm. Granted, it was just biting my arm, but I was scared it could escalate. I recently got diagnosed with ADHD, so I know that has had a lot to do with it. I'm worried that if I try to get my GED again I'll see the exact same thing I saw last time I tried: complete incompetence

Oh man, watching the Stray gameplay footage on the background, I really want to play it.

I genuinely don't want to talk/share any person details of my life with my family. I like to say that I have a loving family, but sharing details of each other day, and sometimes personal interests. Just bores me to death, to either explaining in detail, or hearing if there is bad news/problems is exhausting. So I generally try avoid conversation(I think in time its eventually going to turn total self-isolation) because the receptiveness of everyone's lives is the same(including my own), to where I don't find anything unique if anyone does stem(including myself), that I dont find it to be a topic worth mentioning if it does happen

The fact I don’t wanna live anymore but I’m scared of dying

I still harbor dreams about being a full-time Twitch streamer. I feel self conscious and guilty about even trying to stream because they to my face have told me "that's a dead-end world" and "I need a real job". They're destroying my passion for writing because it's only about publishing to them, and making money off of it, and not about actually creating something I enjoy. I've had books I've tried to get published for a whole decade, but I've realized my motivation is gradually going away because they keep pressing me and asking about it. I'm ace and nonbinary. That's not getting to them. I have multiple personalities (non-DID system, and no other identity disorders either; it all just kind of happened and I don't know what caused it). The only ones who really know are my brother and sister. I bet they've both forgotten because my brother isn't home much and my sister very obviously doesn't care to entertain the idea. This all isn't getting out to them. Ever. I don't know what they'd do with me if they found out any of this.

The divorce one sounds a lot like my mom's boyfriend's situation

Fair warning, this might be depressing so I'm sorry if this one is a little heavy: Mine is technically a secret because even though my family knows about my depression, I haven't told them how bad it actually is. I've been depressed since I was 15. I have my good days and bad days, sometimes it messes with my dreams. After college, I started going to anime conventions and I felt normal, like I didn't hate myself. My uncle has told me to "stop wasting money" on convention trips and merch at cons so many times. He and no one else in my family know (except maybe my brother) that I still do it because for one weekend a year all my problems and self-loathing disappear and I can just nerd out over the stuff I love. For one weekend a year, I get to forget I'm me.

I can play the saxophone. I literally only told my mum the other day. non of the other family members know or will know.

16:04 this hits home pretty hard. I've lived most of my life with undiagnosed adhd

Something my family doesnt know about me is that I have been suffering mentally since the beginning of 2022. Idk if I am for sure or if this is just hormones since I just hit that age of maturing (Im female btw) but I have been faced with my parents arguing, friendship issues, dealing with people's mental health issues and them never listening to me when I try helping, overthinking and a general confusion on who I really am. Whenever my dad gets mad he'd yell at me and mutter under his breath "useless fellow" loud enough for me to hear. I overhink a lot, start doubting people's intentions and feel like I lost all my empathy and sympathy. I had to help a group of people with mental health isuess and act like their therapist but they wouldnt listen. They would ignore my venting to the point I stopped venting at all. It made me think Im selfish and they didnt care. I get awkward around people crying irl but am generally good at comforting throught online texts and stuff. My parents dont know my friends are more like my family then they are and that my fictional characters were a better family to me. My parents dont support me as a youtuber at all. Honestly I could probably keep going but I'll stop here. Sorry about the vent

For a while my parents didn't know I was a member of the brony fandom

when i turn 18, my family wont know anything about me either.

I'm a female that doesn't show much affection. What does that make me?

I took a lot of abuse from my older brother. For years. Psychology. Verbally. And physical. And our family would believe i was a problem when i go to speak out. It got to the point i tried to jump off an overpass 3 times. I tried to OD 2 times and one time i took a knife to my own stomach. I believed i was a problem. To the point i would set in a brakeroom at work and sob. Asking whats wrong with me. Well my brother is now losing everything. His kids want nothing to do woth him and the last time i saw him. He tried to kill me with a knife. I still have a long way to go. Butvim getting a little more progress done every day.

I dated 1 man (only lasted a month) and 2 women (one of them is current). Honestly, my parents are assholes! I wanted to introduce her to them, buuuuut I tested the waters and found out hey won’t ever accept my previous relationship nor my current one! I’m gonna cut ties when she and I move to another state! Not worth the drama bomb that will drop when they find out that I’m engaged to her!

That I think I will never be able to finish one year of college, or be an independant adult, every time they tried to help they made it worse, and I don't like be around them even though I love them

This one time I accidentally clogged the toilet and qe had no plunger however I managed to make it look normal, I guess sometime after that my little brother used it and clogged it more, I guess he did the same thing cause me, my dad, and him went camping and my stepmother called my dad freaking out asking who clogged it and out of nowhere my brother yelled back that it wouldn't flush, my dad and brother ended up unclogging it :)

Parents miss mental health difficulties like those from struggling with the effects undiagnosed adhd, autism, any neurospicy condition, because they only look at the outside. Everything can look great but be terrible inside, please talk to your kits about mental health and emotions!!

What is the video game playing in the background? Looks really interesting!

Thanks for the secrets now I share this video to the entire world until it reaches your family

This is a pretty big deal to me as my parents are strict as fck, I'm an animator/editor on YT with 100 subs Im not allowed to have YT

I almost got decieve twice by an underage.... one time i talk to the mother and she convinced me to stop talking when in reality i wanted to tell her about a situation it happens before and told i didn't want a relationship, i warned about 2 predators and to stop talking since i was only teaching how to draw at the time. I want to bolt out from do it but the site we meet had a lot of sketchy people. I manage to talk to the mother about the risk of some sites she frequent and to talk with her father even if they are separated. I manage to somehow convinced it and i will bolt out. Even i pretend to be mad but one of her friends knew the entire truth and help me before we part ways for good. Also i never make to 4th year of my career, only to the 2nd year.

My parents think that I work well with kids, that I like kids. I can’t stand them. I was pushed into elementary education. I left and used low pay and bad admin/parents as excuses. I can’t stand any human under the age of 14. I was pushed into the profession, being told it was “women’s work” and that I had a knack for handling animals, that kids are essentially the same as animals.

My whole family didn't know that I've been trying to end myself since the 10th Grade and I'm in 3rd year college now

The second story person who doesn’t like cheese is banned from Wisconsin.

My secret: I have over 3k in cash stashed in my nightstand. I'm 17 and don't have a job. Except dog sitting every like once a month or something.

I don't like my dad, in fact I am scared of him. He loves me a lot, but he has a loud voice, and a temper; my dad gets super defensive if someone thinks differently from him. Plus he is big, and towering, and from what my brother once said, even punched a hole in the wall once. I plan to move out soon because as of late his parents have been going to the hospital a lot lately and when he grieves he takes his anger out on everyone around him. Not to mention I know there might be a day where my mix of fear and anger might cause me to snap at him. He always asks why I never hang out with him as I used to, but I will never tell him the reason why because he might say or do the wrong thing if I break down. I strongly remember the time he slapped me in across my mouth when I had a stressed-induced meltdown; he even said he did it to "calm me down." T.L.D.R: I am scared of my dad because he is basically The Incredible Hulk.

not first, not second, but im here and im happy

I was messed with while sleeping on the couch at my bio-dad's house when i was 12. Because I never knew who my bio-dad didn't believe me. It caused a huge fight and resulted in me calling my mom to pick me up before my time at dad's was up....I finally told mom what happened that day after YEARS of keeping it from her but my step mom still doesn't know.

I do the same thing with the car and leaving

My family doesn't know I was homeless 3 years and during that time , I thought about commiting suicidea few times. I'm no longer homeless but the fear of being homeless again is almost unbearable at times especially considering I don't have anyone who's close enough to vent to and anytime I try to talk to about it, I get told to just deal with it.

I’m bisexual

So many, things they don’t know 😅

I had a crush on my cousin when I was 11 years old. We made out and got 2 second base. We felt a strong connection and wanted to take it all the way. But my dad walked in on us and proceeded to beat me with a set of jumper cables.

My browser history

9:08 you forgot predator and disposal burden

Some of them don't know I'm a furry lmao

I'm a queer masc agender (they he) who's been in a 6 year relationship with a trans man also Ive been going by a completely different name for a little more then two years now and I have ear gauges and a few small tattoos on my legs no one in my bio family knows .

I'm gay- kinda-

My s31f h4rm scars lol

I like the subscribe threw these and yea on some of this I can feel

I'm bi

That I crap on them at school because they’re racist conspiracy theorists, disapprove of his new girlfriend and their age gap, don’t agree with his conspiracies, oh and I eat Kraft still ;) (he believes that Kraft macaroni and cheese has human products in it, so because of that it’s banned in my household) goofy rules 🙄

Ok, but what is the video game in the background???

Kratom is awesome

The person in story 4 I hope you found some help and I hope you have good luck in your future all I can say is good luck remember "if you are lost in the dark find the light" Firefly from the last of us

Number 4. I hope you read this: Please get some professional help. For your sake. I have had those dark thoughts myself. I got the help I needed and still need from time to time. Trust me... It works! This goes out to anyone who are in a dark place! Call for help or get some professional help somehow! I got help and I look brighter to my future thanks to this. If you do seek help then I have an advice: Be honest in how you feel. If something happens in your life like abuse, rape or something there are help to get. You all deserve the best! If you are in a bad relationship then there are help out there!

My parents don’t know I’m depressed because of them

This is depressing

I watch south park. I’m a minor and my parents don’t want me watching stuff like that lol.

My mum and dad (the depressed story with the debt) would tell me to screw off and that I'm an adult so basically in my suicide note that's what I would say they said.

my family doesnt know that im bi they also dont know that i have a youtube account/channel

Mine is that I dated to ppl once lol

Mom, you’re most likely on the spectrum, just like the three kids you have. You act just like we do, you have similar “quirks” as we do, just cause you’re forty now doesn’t mean you’re not on the spectrum, too; you just haven’t been diagnosed.

Mine is I have a kinda gf but I just can’t get the courage to to tell them (I’m 12)

You know, a tw would of been nice mate
