Hello I wasn't sure where to go to talk about this so I came to reddit. I really need another Black person to talk to. A lot of my friends are white or a different type of poc and don't understand what I'm going through.

For context, I'm a 14 yo girl that's just doesn't know how to feel about me being Black. Which I hate a lot... I'm not sure how to write about this I'm sorry

It's just that for the longest time I've felt disgusting for being Black. I keep feeling like I'm not even going to be happy because of the color I am. I'm not going to be able to experience happiness like everyone else. I feel dirty. I feel disgusting. I can't get out of it. I've been taught from mental and physical pain from white people that I'm never going to be on the same level as them. And I know it's true. It's not going to change. And knowing that just makes everything worse.

Sometimes I feel like I'm "acting white" for being myself and going out of stereotypes with my interests. I hate that I'm seen like that sometimes. I hate myself for being Black and I feel like I won't ever be seen as "normal" but then I feel horrible because I'm also not seen as Black enough to other Black people.

I'm lightskin and I hate it so much. Because it feels like just because of that I'm immediately seen as not Black enough. I don't get to be a part of my own community because I'm not dark enough. I sound so dumb I'm sorry...

Has anyone ever felt like this before? I'm sorry if I sound stupid I just don't understand any of this..

Haii!! I don't really know how to use reddit and i'm not sure if this is the correct sub(?) for this question but I'm 14 and really new to alternative fashion. Well like the morals(??) of it?? I'm sorry idk how to word this. But basically uh is Aliexpress considered fast fashion and should I stop using it? Is it as bad as shein and temu? It's really been the only way I could have afforded things like my birthday presents this year and now I feel horrible about the fact that I bought from it because it might be unethical(?). Again, I'm sorry if this is not the correct place to ask this. Also, if it's not could someone give me a sub to ask questions like this?

Does anybody know where to buy the manga online in the US? I've been really obsessed with the show for a while now and I've never bought manga before and I really want this to be my first. Does anyone know where to buy them not second-hand if they're still available?

Hello!! I was wondering if anyone possibly has photos of the Canada and America Nendoroids together? I'm trying to make something and I really need images of them together!

Hai i'm 13 almost 14 (15 days yay!!) and I'm still trying to figure out my body down there.. I was hesitant to come here because it's kinda embarrassing but it's okay lol.

Is it normal to have your (heavy) period for more than 6 weeks? I've been on my period for at least 6 weeks or so now and I don't even know if that's normal. I've asked my friends before and they say I need to go to a doctor but I don't even know what to do with that.

Also, if I go to a doctor for checkups like that will I be shamed and should I shave? I have a lot of problems with having hair there to the point where it literally hurts sometimes (genuinely don't know how to explain that one.) But i'm really scared of being shamed for having a lot of hair..

Please answer as soon as possible tysm!!
