This happened when I was at a McDonalds yesterday.

For a bit of context: I'm 14 but I look older (about 15-16) when I have makeup on, as I did on that day. I like getting happy meals because sometimes I'm not hungry enough to finish anything else.

When this happened, I was sitting at one of the tables, eating my Happy Meal. I was also watching a YouTube video, because I was doing a summer camp about mythology so wanted to learn more about it. A woman came up to me, eyed my food, and said snarkily

"You know you're too old to eat those, right? They're for kids."

I was a bit hangry, and I didn't know why this woman (who i'd never seen before in my life) had just come up to me and started critising what I was eating. I turned to her slowly, and well, my mouth worked before my brain did.

"First, I'm fourteen. Until I'm eighteen I'm legally considered a child, so your argument is void. Second, this is for my grandfather. He died a few months ago, and we used to go to McDonalds and get Happy Meals together. Today is the anniversary of his death. So, excuse me for wanting to pay tribute to someone I loved who is now gone."

She shut up SO FAST it was honestly astounding, stuttered a 'sorry' and skedaddled.

Truly, a real TraumatizeThemBack moment.

Edit: for all the people confused, it was the 3-month anniversary. Hope this helps.

just a random thought lol

Not sure if this is exactly the right sub but I hope you get a laugh out of it anyway.

So I'm autistic. I'm fully ok with it.

This happened to me a few days ago. I was in a park, getting some fresh air because I went to a circus that was in town with a friend and I was getting overwhelmed by the noises, smells, and basically everything inside the tent, and I needed to breathe and relax so I didn't go into sensory overload.

I was sitting on a bench with my friend 'Em' (fake name), and I was complaining about sensory overload and how annoying it was, because I wanted to watch the performers with her, and I had to go outside. (I do a thing where I often feel like I'm wasting someone's time and/or being rude, so I was also apologizing)

Here's how the conversation went:

Me: Em, I'm sorry about this. And for wasting your time.

Em: It's okay, {me}. You're not wasting my time.

Me: Yeah, I know...but sensory overload and autism are just annoying.

At this point, a man who looked to be late 50's who was passing by stopped and DUDE LOOKED AT US AND SAID "Well, have you tried not having autism?"

We were both pretty fucking shocked- first because we're both fairly young teen girls, second because who the actual hell eavesdrops on a conversation and then gives advice like they were included??

I was pissed, so I said "Have you tried not being an asshole? Because if you have it seems like it doesn't work, so I won't be taking you advice, thanks." He muttered something about 'disrespect' and 'kids these days' and walked off.

Literally the title! If you have any lesbian/gay/LGBTQIA+ book recommendations, please let me know- I'd love to read more stories written in this vein.

I'm an atheist, and my school is Christian. I normally don't have to go along to religious/church events, my parents will let me skip it and I can chill at home. But this one time, it was sprung up on me, so I had no choice but to go.

I was sitting on the pews, bored AF, and there was this middle-aged woman seated behind me, she tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around. (I'm in first year of secondary so I was wondering why TF this woman is interacting with me, and that made me snarky) and this [I don't have the best memory so this may not be exact] conversation ensued:

Me: me, obviously. WL: weird woman.

Me: Yes?

WL, in a snappy tone of voice: Why aren't you taking part in Our Father's holy ritual? You should be giving respect to him.

Me: I'm an Atheist.

WL, pissed: Well now, that's not a real thing! You were made by God, and God makes no mistakes, so you ought to pray to Him in thanks.

Me: Well, if God makes no mistakes and also made me, then he meant for me to be an atheist.

WL, completely shocked: B-but-

Me: *turns around in my seat and goes back to ignoring her*

She did not bother me at all for the rest of the service, so I'm going to consider her traumatized back.

So I'm lesbian. And I think I have a crush on a girl but I'm not sure and I need help, so I'm going to say some things {names will be changed for privacy reasons} and I want help on if i do or not because I have no idea on how to do lesbian crushes...

Me (F13) and my friend Emma (F13, a few months older than I am) often to go the cinema together. We sit beside each other or on a two-person seat, and my/her parent is either fairly far away or not there. Every time, we get sweets and popcorn, and we share. Recently I've kinda started wanting to hang out more often, (but I don't really tell anyone) and feeling kind of annoyed/irritated if I see her in the schoolyard with other girls.

I'm unsure because I usually have to kinda tell myself not to look at the person I have a crush on and I can feel my cheeks being hot when they touch me. With Emma, I don't really but I do feel kind of...tingly when she touches me, like when your leg falls asleep but less numb. Although that could just be my autism being weird, I don't think it is so I need advice.

TLDR: I think I have a crush on a school friend but I'm not sure if I do, so I would like help to figure it out.
