This isn't a trick question, literally tell them about yourself.

I usually start with my current job role, a couple of recent acheivements, and then where I want to go next and why. So for a fictitious example you might say -

"I'm currently a junior designer at Smiths Design, I've recently been involved in the rebrand and was responsible for the new colour scheme that recieved positive press in our industry journal, I feel like I'd like to move more into the development of brands as that's where I think my strengths lie so that's why I thought this company was a great fit"

For you, you can either talk about your previous roles or you can mention your role as a carer for your family because that's a real job too even though it isn't paid.

Tbf to them, she is a pensioner now and probably just wants to retire. Lots of others leaving are much younger though and clearly aren't fans.

I mean, can you get hard numbers on bullying? It's not a black and white situation. If someone feels that they're being bullied then they are. The American study shows that pupils feel that there's less bullying. If you want to design your own study then you can, but I'm not sure how.

Reddit. They have help there.

This community definitely wasn't made for reddit questions.

This is a recent British study focussing on bullying. Teachers, parents and children themselves see the differences.

This is an American study that focusses on the students and parents and reaches similar conclusions.

I feel like "Okay" for a new food is normal. I've never loved a new food the first time, it's either gross or fine and if it's fine then maybe I need to cook it different or just try it a few different ways before it's more familiar then I'll enjoy it.

Basically this might be a food that in 20-30 years she's sitting down with her kid and making them try it cause it's "the best food" and being really upset by a lacklustre response.

Whether or not you have sugar is quite controversial too. I was raised in a "look down on the sugar people" family. Some people are more live and let live. I think I try to be the latter but if you say you want 3 sugars I have my nans voice in my head going "If you hate the taste of tea that much just have something else".

As a British person, I want to go mad with the downvotes here.
