TIFU I might have given a wrong advice leading to accident

I(21M) and my family friend(22M) one day were having casual talk. 1.5 yr ago his father committed suicide because of some family issues. He was alcoholic. Great guy . RIP. His family took lot of time to recover from this .After his dad’s passing away his family is left with his younger brother,his mother and him. His brother(18M) was attending college as of now. While we were talking he mentioned his brother not attending his college recently . Me being good at studies and knowing importance of determination in young age , suggested him to take good care of his younger brother and put him in right path even if it is rough for either/both of them. I said something like “you should be the one to take care of him . Being brother you can make sure he is in right path even if he doesnt like it/you”. After almost a month ,i get a call from my dad saying the younger brother has committed suicide. I was in shock and couldn’t contemplate what was going on.After a long explanation : His brother on the day he committed to take his own life left to college in the morning and attended a college festival and got drunk . Returning to home his mom found out about this and confronted him with lot of grief and dissatisfaction ( because of his father’s alcohol addiction His father was under the influence while he committed suicide.) i dont know if she physically hit him . When my friend got home and got to know about the situation , with the intention of putting his brother on right track hit him and asked him to leave house. After that it is told that his brother left the house and went to their farm house and hung himself . Before committing the act he sent a message to his gf , who contacted my friend . By the time my frnd reached the spot his brother already hung himself and passed away. For context thier relation was intercaste and was acknowledged by his family while her family wasn’t completely comfortable.

After getting to know this i was devastated and felt like my suggestion was the reason to this . My only intension was to help him get better . There can be lot of reasons for this but me even accidentally being one is unbearable for me .

After 2 weeks , my mom calls me and mentioned his gf also committed suicide. She already once told her family that if she wouldnt get married to him , even after marrying some one else for the sake of her parents will finally end up committing suicide.this is heart crushing for me .i have been carrying this guilt of saying just small thing would lead to this devastating situation . Every time i see my frnd i feel so heavy . Now his family is himself and his mom . RIP.
TL:DR; i suggested my friend to be rough if needed to keep his brother in right path and ended up in his brother and his gf committing suicide. Be safe . Peace.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
