I know there are lots of people saying they're bad to use, but I'd appreciate advice for my situation specially.

I can't get a binder because of parents and state laws, I have a larger chest, even compression sports bras still just give me really round boobs, and going loose is not an option (stairs without any support is hell, plus I dont want my nipples to stick out). Layers can only do so mucb, especially when it's super hot.

Thus the question: if I use an ace bandage to bind but do it loosely, what are the actual risks? And don't just say it's too tight, give me actual harms to my body. Also, are there any tips to make it safer/more comfortable?

So I (under 18 F) am, essentially, in love with my best friend (18 F). We have known each other for like 15 years and have been close that entire time. Within the past few years we have both come out (at least to each other) as queer, including interest in women. Last fall, we made a deal that after we had each had our first kisses we would kiss each other. We each *yk* kissed other people, but never actually fulfilled the deal. Since then I have realized just how much I want to kiss her and how much I (not platonically) love her. Seems reasonable, right? Well she's been insisting lately that we kiss, and to me it almost seems like she only wants to do it for the experimentation factor, as neither of us have kissed another woman. But she's rather insistent and we have other female friends that would also be willing to experiment,, but I'm the only one she asks. Cue to yesterday, when she tells me about how one of our mutual friends asked her if she was interested in me, and she said "no but I really, really want to kiss her" and leaves immediately.

Now that you know the whole situation, here's my questions:

1. How do I covertly find out if she's actually interested and just lying about only wanting to kiss?
2. If she really does just want to kiss, how bad of an idea is it for me to kiss her?
3. If she does just want to kiss, how the heck do I move on from the possible love of my life?

Hey, so like I said I truly dont know if this is the right place to go for help, but I dont know where else to go.

I'm 17 and a senior in high school. I'm high-acheiving (think 4.35 GPA and such) but i'm struggling. I've been depressed for a while (no formal diagnoses due to lack of parent support) but within the past 8 months I've had near-chronic audiovisual hallucinations. Sometimes they "touch" me, sometimes I feel but dont see, sometimes I see but don't feel, and sometimes I see and feel it. A previous hallucination (named The Entity) tried to get me to do bad things but we did away with him (I told him I'd kill myself if I ever saw him again). I need to do something to help, but my parents won't believe me if I tell them and an actual diagnosis would probably hurt a lot of stuff. Any tips?

Oh and btw I get decent sleep and am not terribly stressed beyond this issue
