We don't mind the use of bad language as long as it's not about or directed to another person (or yourself). But you've used words to describe how you're feeling and that's fine.    I can hear how frustrating this was for you , but it sounds like you've come up with a good solution - to bring your charger to school so you can keep your phone charged, and always have it available to use on your way home if you need. I hope this works out for you - you've learnt from this situation and that's awesome!"    @Bre-RO, This post from June 21, 2018, said the words I used are OK as long as they aren't about or directed towards another person (which I take it that the manager meant here on RO), but the one part I'm a little confused about is when they're said to myself, because I said on here that day that I was "so bloody angry and pissed at myself" for accidentally uttering the “F” word in front of my dad, so, well... that's directed at myself, because I was doing that too (as I sometimes did to myself on here as well), and not just saying how I felt, and I don't know about this manager's opinion, but I don't really see anything wrong with saying stuff like that towards myself, or with saying them about others and directing them towards them (and of course, by that, I mean other people I'm around, not anyone on RO), and alas, they don't have any problem with it, because they understand it's how I express myself, and because they and 99% of other people in this country don't see them as cursing.  ...

This will be my last post for good after this has been talked through, but if any of the managers are free, I just want to say sorry about some of my posts to another user because when I told a staff member about some of the things he said that shocked me, it was when she said “For now let’s leave this one, as we have spoken to [username removed] and he’s doing really good work getting on top of it”, which made me feel like (and don’t say I don’t need to feel like this, because it’s been worrying me for a damn long time and we all have feelings), maybe if I hadn’t gotten involved, he would’ve had someone else on RO to lean on? And, yeah, I really just feel like that maybe if I kept my nose out of his business, RO staff (probably) wouldn’t have had to remind me about the situation with him, so even though it wasn’t anything bad or wrong I did, and my help to him was appreciated, I still just want to say a massive sorry about that night. I wasn’t upset, just a little shocked to see someone writing such nasty things. I should’ve just sent the damn email about it instead of bringing it up online, because that was one of her most helpful solutions.  ...
