I currently attend acellus online but with the new cap on how many classes I can do a week, and the upcoming changes to scholarship requirements that might not even be physically possible because of the cap, I'm thinking of changing. I want a school that is nationally or state (nebraska) accredited and possible to fast track. I want to graduate asap.
The new cap limit is driving me crazy. I want this over ASAP. What r the fastest ways to get credits to graduate?
I can't tell if im over reacting or not.
I was at my mom's for a weekend to see my little sister and on the last day my other step siblings came over for dinner. (I love my step siblings but were not close. I see them a few times a year and barely talk.) One of my step brothers brought up how he wants tattoos when hes 18 (I turned 18 a few months ago and already got a handful) I mentioned one of my bigger ones took about 4-5 hrs and my sister, in front of my stepbrother, loudly asked "how long did my LESBIAN tattoo take?" Probably loud enough for everyone else outside the room to hear (I have a small 2in double venus on my back hip thats usually hidden by my clothes) only her and a few other know about, and Ive asked her not to tell before.
Im visibly queer so they all probably know to some level but in all honesty idgaf. There's a difference in treatment between speculation and confirmation and I don't want to deal it.
Im a private person, I have very little interest in keeping contact with my family outside of my sister, once I leave. I don't even like them knowing my favorite color (or anything else about me and she knows that), why would she think i would be comfortable loudly discussing this with them????
ESPECIALLY SINCE SHE KNOWS HER PARENTS ARE HOMOPHOBIC??? And most her siblings AT LEAST used to be. Shes 12 but she's incredibly smart and knows her parents are evil and knows not to tell them other stuff but it feels like she thinks its ok to loudly declare im "yuri coded" cuz her and my stepsister "love yuri and yaoi shows" and "have yuri ocs" so ally or wtvr, and they love to joke about how much they luv gay ships, and treat my gayness like its a online meme they're laughing about and not a real person.
My stepsister is worse. Ive asked her not to discuss it with her dad multiple times but she says Im "over dramatic" and treats me like im being a whiny btch for killing her jokes cuz its "obvious" and "he's not homophobic anymore" cuz he stopped saying gay people should die. Literally earlier today when my stepsister joked about "going lesbian" to escape pervy dudes and he shouted about how lesbians are the biggest predators and freaks. :/
There was a similar issue with her years ago. I use different name online and at the time she'd use it irl in private with her friends who knew. It was fine until to used it in front of sister who didn't know. When I asked her not to she said "[name] won't care" and continued to use it in front of her.
Once during my autism evaluation my dad vented about my step-dad and as part of his evidence he told them my stepdad was homophobic and I was a lesbian, because they were a queer friendly clinic.
I asked him not to and while he reluctantly agreed not to tell others he still kinda brushed it off, like i should be okay with it and im weird.
There's so many more but these are just off the top of my head.
Every single single time I pulled someone aside and politely asked someone to stop they've told me im over reacting and treat me like im being a crazy btch. Im this close to a breakdown and screaming at them, I feel crazy.
I get that its obvious, im alt and sometimes more masc ig, but they seem to think that as long as im not in physical danger its ok to discuss my personal business with strangers and it feels violating. Like its not their info to tell... i feel gross Im reluctant to tell the few new friends I've made because of these people
