FORUM CHATS
- WHY?Me and the majority of my friend group basically got detention because our hearing is sensitive and we didn't want to be at the pep rally. We're not even allowed to talk to each other, because, and I quote, "if the kids in there (the gym) don't get to talk to, then you can't sit […]
- Bi/AsexualAre Asexual/Bi people allowed on this chat? Just curious
- Hanging out with a group of friends for the first timeOk, this might sound kinda weird, but I have never gotten out and just hung out with a group of my friends. They have always either lived in a diffrent city or were 'friends'. Now I am very excited about this, but every time in the past (up untill I met this group of friends) […]
- A lil vignette about my brainI’m tied down by my brain, but my brain is also tied down with me. That’s how I see it. The psychologist sees it differently. She says I have a “verbal processing delay”, which is fancy talk for a fast brain and a slow mouth. The thing is, I always know what I want to […]
- I’m literally going to hide in my room until I’m 18I swear if I have to mediate ONE MORE FIGHT between my preteen sisters, I am going to explode. They fight over E V E R Y T H I N G. And I am so fed up with dealing with their bad attitudes and nastiness while my mom’s working. I didn’t volunteer to be […]
- PoemsPushed down, broken and bruised I feel like im being used There i lie, on the ground Covered in my cold dark shroud Covered up, there I lie, All i do is cry inside Happiness is no more As I lie there on the floor
- Is it weird to come out as a Straight Ally?My friends all know their sexuality. I feel left out. I think I know but it feels wrong. I'm confused and need help. And a hug. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
- Sort of hurting myself?I let my cat bite and scratch me, sometimes to the point of me crying and bleeding. I don't really know why. Maybe it's because I don't want to be in this world anymore. I'm sick of pushing my feelings down for others. Any advice?
- Anything and AnytimeHi, I’m Brenda but I go by Bree. And I’m trying to tell my parents that I’m Bai. If anyone knows anything, please let me know at anytime and or anything about, please and thank you.
- SkinnyI've slowly been eating just a little bit less. One of my friends commented on my weight, asking how I got skinny. I feel very uncomfortable. One of my friends is always talking about her weight and I think she's rubbing off on me. What do I do?
