Like five to fifteen seconds. Anything more than a minute is homework.
If it's super interesting and I've asked for a video they recommend, it can be if any length though.
Edit: someone else mentioned self-made videos, those I will watch fully if sent by someone I care about, regardless of topic or quality.
Intimacy-seeking stalkers often have delusional disorders involving erotomanic delusions.
I haven't seen the film, but it sounds like a platonic version of erotomania, or a non-specific delusional disorder.
What topics?
It fully depends on what country you are in. There are a few great ones for my country that would not make sense for another country, especially not usa. Even the words describing a parties political leanings mean completely different things in different countries.
The best thing is if you can find something that compares what your local politicians/parties said they wanted to do with what they actually voted on or wrote motions for. Then look at what they are now saying they want and determine if that aligns with you, and how reliable they are to actually keep to their word.
Have you tried this:
-> You suggest [specific activity]
-> They suggest alteration
-> You say, "I actually really want to do [specific activity] this time, but we can do [their suggestion] next time!"
-> (1) They agree. Else (2) They insist on changing it
-> You ask why they don't want to do your suggestion
-> They hopefully have an explanation you can understand so you either feel better about changing the activity, or you go to the activity alone and do their suggestion with them another time (both are just as good!)
There's nothing rude about planning something and inviting people to the activity. If they don't want to join they can say no and you're still allowed to follow through with your plan.
Suggestions for activities to do on your own where your current friends can join if they want but you can also do alone and meet new people at the activity:
cooking class,
dancing class,
amateur theater/improv,
book club (I'm sure there are open book clubs to join at your local library, or you can ask the librarians to put up a flyer and start one... I do 1-on-1 book clubs with different friends at different times when we figure out a book we want to read. We just set a chapter goal and call once or twice a week to check in on each others progress and yap about our thoughts on the book so far. Not every activity needs to include the whole friend group every time - they're all unique persons with different interests and time availability),
join an orientation club,
volunteer somewhere (I like animal shelters, but might be more interaction with other volunteers at something aimed at humans or political/societal),
visit an orchard and pick seasonal fruit/veggies (may not be super social with strangers)
join a hiking tour, especially likely to be social if it's over several days,
go to concerts and festivals,
go to a meetup/show for motorcycles or old cars or something (initiate socialising by asking questions about, and giving people compliments on, what they brought to show off (car, MC, vinyl collection) )
"safe for animals" and "will kill them on contact" can't both be true.
Do you manage any pest controlling ways that move instead of kill our pollinators?
That's definitely bullying behaviour. I don't know exactly what you're asking. Bullying can range from ignoring or talking behind someone's back, to physical assault. They are not average experiences, especially being a repeated event, in normal friendships and relationships.
Several actions included in bullying are also criminal offenses, and needs to be taken way more seriously by the adult world - not minimised, labeled "bullying" and nothing more being done about it. If someone physically assaults someone else, there should always be a police report filed because then social services will be informed if the attacker is too young to be criminally responsible. Even if it just words and threats, or stealing or destroying someone else's items.
Anything physical, strenuous and fairly complex. Lifting weights heavy enough that you really can't slip on technique, climbing without a rope, wrestling, dancing with a partner or to a choreography, cycling in terrain or traffic, hiking on a steep cliff side.
If it keeps me in the moment and 100% connected to my body and/or my surroundings, I consider it meditative. It keeps my mind from wandering to the past or future, or any worries aside from my most immediate next physical movement.
Like grapefruit. Bitter and sour.
I second things like spare tire, pillows, less focus on electronics (boredom is a gift not many are given today), take time for spontaneous detours and breaks, drink water and limit intake of sugar and quick energy.
Try to involve the whole family in the planning.
Maybe there's something the kid wants to take a look at, or that might be helpful for a school project/class or to talk about in show+tell (ancient burial site, gigant cheese, takeoff/landing strip for hobby airplanes, arcade, space museum).
Make sure to move around and stretch at breaks and in the car, perhaps everyone can take turn to lead a "movement minute" where one person does a series of movements or stretches and everyone else follows (make this fun and silly, stretching doesn't have to be boring! do things with name like frog-jumps and helicopter arms and/or make the instructions silly like "keep your hands on the ground and make your butt touch the ground then make your butt touch the sky"). If everyone get to take their turn to lead they might have fun with it instead of complain. If your kid is prone to embarrassment, find a bit of shelter to do the stretches in, behind a bush or other structure not visible right off the road.
Have a 5-15 min dj session every hour where one person get to play a prepared playlist, and another person gets their turn the next hour (or take it in a row if your family also has trouble waiting for their turn). If you really want to structure it you can suggest different themes for the playlist, like "songs that represents the roadtrip", "songs you wish grandpa/great-grandpa could have heard", "songs that make you feel something", "songs from when you were little", "songs your friends like".
A short RPG could be fun for the family as the driver can also be involved, there are systems that only require a set of six-sided dice, and DM-less games where everyone plays (I think "bunny we bought a house" could be suitable for a 13-year old, and they could get to control the pen and paper to draw the dungeon as you play it).
Go to bed early and give eachother some space once you leave the car for the night. Don't demand a lot of socialising (unless everyone want to) at dinner or afterwards. Let everyone decompress on their own. ...unless of course everyone has had their headphones in and been on their devices with their friends all drive - then its probably time for some family time.
Skins UK attempted to deal with every topic they could get their hands on, including lesbianism (and homophobia iirc), with the drama turned up to 11.
I don't know how it holds up today, but back then as a dramatic teen myself I loved it.
I've yet to see Robin Williams in a serious role and being disappointed, so I'll check it out. Thanks for the rec!
