      Despite this, I like to think that I would have taken the risk of getting arrested, if it meant potentially saving an innocent life. But I guess it really depends from person to person.

    On 23rd of November when there was the latest big attack on Ukraine, our town was totally cut off the grid for the first time. Absolute blackout. No internet, weak cell signal. I’m sure if it had happened somewhen in February when the war just started, we would be scared as hell without knowing what was going on around us. But when you live for like almost a year under a constant threat of bombing, you’ll get better at pulling yourself together. I was preparing to survive for a longer period of time without electricity. But then, just in a few hours our energy engineers did somewhat impossible and power was restored, even for a short period. The most important thing I understood for all this time is this: the darkness is not that scary, when you know you’re on the side of light.

    Oh boy, I’m looking forward to this one. Blackout stories?! There is quite literally nothing scarier than when you’re not as alone as you thought you were in complete and utter darkness. Not on the subject of blackouts, but I had an extremely terrifying thing happen to me as a child, I was probably 11 when this happened. I grew up in a town in the Rocky’s west of Denver, Colorado. My family set up our tent outside the house for a night to air out before we went camping with it. I asked my mom if I could sleep in it for the night as any kid would, like a mini camping trip in your yard lol. Well, about an hour after I went in the tent and was just laying down pondering about when I mean all of a sudden my tent is being circled by distinctively 3 “things” I had no idea what it was. I laid there seriously shaken up, my mind was RACING, I didn’t make a sound. I just laid there and listened to three and I say three because it lasted for roughly 30-45 seconds and the fact that the tent was small and they were that close I could hear them pass my head as they one by one by one ran a circle around my tent. They were running very fast around me, and that’s when I started to think okay this cannot be people messing with me because of speed they were circling me. And all of a sudden it sounded like a ball of fury hauled ass down the mountain as I heard bunches of legs snap sticks as they left. I honestly to this day don’t know how I fell asleep that night, but I did, and when I woke up I came out of the tent like dude what the actual heck (I was 11) was that last night, my neighbors from up the road were walking their dog and saw me and said I quote “hey did ya see the momma bear and her cubs last night?” All I did was say “no but they ran around my tent last night as I nervously laughed still scarred from the fact that I know now it was bear cubs and you know that momma bear was near. If I had brought ANY food I was a dead man. If I tried to run back to my house I was a dead man. I got really really lucky that night. Anyway thanks for reading (if you did lol) my nightmarish story:)

      I am terrified of bears so of course it's great to live in east TN now. On one trip to the mountains my dad had been messing with my mom and me and the rest of our close family. He said he would put bologna on our windows at night ect. So one night of our trip while a bunch of us were in the hot tub my dad said we all looked like people soup. We laugh and continue talking. So when he got quiet and told us to get out we just laughed. He then yelled at us to get out! We got inside a mere few seconds before a mama bear and her cubs got to us! They absolutely destroyed the tub and it's cover. This was the beginning of spring too when bears are hungry and just have had cubs. Scary!!!

    Power outages suck, but if you're prepared they're not a big deal. Keep some food, flashlights, batteries, and plenty of seasoned firewood handy and you'll be fine. My first year living on my own I lost power for 5 days in the middle of winter. There was about 18" of snow outside, so there was no leaving the house. It was between 0-10 degrees the entire time, but keeping a hot fire in the living room and knowing how air circulation works is a life saver... People often get mocked for being overly prepared, but nobody is laughing when they're the ones freezing.

    That first story reminds me of when my mom and I, (the oldest of 5 children) were living on our own. We had lived in tiny shoe box apartments where the 2 little children slept on pallets on the floor, and my sister and I slept in one full size bed. We finally got a big apartment in one of those big old houses in a big city everyone knows the name of. The house used to be big and beautiful , but now what was once part of a thriving downtown city scape became low income slums with winos on the corner and a soup kitchen across the street. There were so many crazy things that happened down there. But at least we all had a bed there and the place was big enough for the kids to run and play in the house like kids should. My sister and I both worked, to help her make ends meet. You don't hear many stories like that in families now a days. I hope he came out in a good place as we all did.

All it did was destroyed their relationship. Kids ARE going to make mistakes but his parents refused to let him learn from his and instead only sheltered him even more.

    Story 4 about the kid with the overbearing, helicopter parents - I'm seeing more than a few comments blaming a child for an event that was wholeheartedly out of his control. Sure, he opened the door to a stranger, not a good choice. Stranger danger and all that. That isn't the reason his parents were over bearing. And when I 1st heard the story, it sounds like the event of the night in question may have been manufactured by said overbearing parents.

    For the first story: SUE THEM! If you got money problems, talk to a lawyer. When renting, it's the landlord's duty to make sure the place is livable. On top of the results of the power going out. This could help you out a lot financially if a lawyer thinks you got a good case

      A lot of lawyers agree to only get paid if they win and they usually get like 1/3 of the settlement. That’s what my lawyer did when I got hit by a car I didn’t pay anything till the settlement then he took 1/3 and I got the rest.

    While it was technically the kid's fault for opening the door to give the man a towel, he handled the situation well. His parents should calm down and back tf off or they're going to lose him for real when he decides to stop speaking to them!
    I'm a mother of four, so I understand the innate drive and need to keep my children safe. But I can't always be there and they have to learn to take care of themselves. After all, perhaps someday they'll be the parents and it'll be their job to keep their own children safe. If I don't teach them and instead hover incessantly, I'm not only hurting them, but also possibly their children and their children's children, etc.
