i just feel kinda lonely rn and need someone to talk to, i have a butt ton of homework to do lol but its whatevs

heya, im from the us (EST) and the school year is starting in 2 weeks!! kinda scary, kinda super nervous lol. theres a lot thats gona happen this year and im suuuper stressed, so im looking for a good support system and shoulder i can rely on :). im a huge fan of comimg of age movies and room decor, i love photostrips haha. i think im also a pretty good support system for my friends so i wana do the same for others!

heya, its soooo stormy rn and super rainy so im stuck at home. i like watching movies and reading tons of books, pretty much just anything hahaha and thats pretty much it!!! i prefer to talk to people near my timezone :)

you hated when things got boring
so i surrendered my normal for a new normal
a new normal that was exciting for you

you demanded for undivided attention 
so i gave you just that
fifty thousand messages and pictures

you denied your faults in making me the way i am
so i stopped talking about us
about the nights i would spend thinking my life was over

you were alive for almost two decades 
while i was just finishing one
now i plead and plead for you to go away
so you sobered up and move on

you tormented me for a quarter of my life
four years to be exact
so i beg of you just this once
for you to give me back my normal

(i figured writing my feelings out would be better than staring at the wall all night with impending doom because i have never felt this unsecure before. i just cut contact with the guy on everything and blocked his number so please please i would prefer constructive criticism or feedback on my skills another time, just not right now.)

Hey everypony. To set some notes and kind of a background for myself, I'm a minor and had way too much internet access as a child. So, I've had quite a lot of encounters with weirdos and incels. PLEASE!!! Please do not do these things, okay? okay!

1. Message or reach out to your groomer or someone that should be no contact: This NEVER ends well!!! That weirdo proly has MANY DMs or contacts with KIDS or vulnerable people!!! NO BUENO!!! Not good! Thinking your groomer loves you is like thinking that a stripper actually loves you, they don't! If they say they do, they love you because you are vulnerable and need support from people YOUR OWN AGE or peers.

2. Respond to weird DMs you get from posting on here: While I do love that we have a supportive community, there are a crap bunch of freaks and weirdos lurking on here instead of locking in and actually being a person!! NEVER EVER respond to any DM because first, their advice probably sucks butt, and second, they ARE NOT trying to help you! Period! Please don't respond to them, I've been there done that and trust me, they are also pretty boring, like 100000% not worth the convo.

3. Talk in anon chatrooms or voice chats WHILE BEING A MINOR: Okay, this is probably one that may be far-fetched, but I have met REALLY weird people on these things. Please, especially if you are a teenager, do not go on these rooms. They are full of horrible, weird, disgusting, and creepy people who intentionally reach out to you because of your age.

4. MOST IMPORTANTLY!! Do not compare your experience to others and think that your experience is "invalid" because of so-and-so: You did not want or cause them to want to take advantage of you. Even if that weirdo or other people (who are ALSO WEIRDOS!! cuz who IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS would blame a victim?!) say or claim that you were at fault, please please please do not believe them. What you went through is something that a lot of people cannot comprehend. That does not mean you are at fault or weird, that means it is up to you to find a way to heal in a way that does not bring harm. Go out to those hangouts with your classmates, say hi to your colleagues every once in a while, start going to cafes and maybe even flirt with the cute barista (IF THEY LOOK YOUR AGE!!), there are a LOT of cute baristas out there. If you are a fellow kid struggling with college applications or whatever resume thing, LOCK IN!!! Do NOT let some rando incel on the streets or online take away your opportunities to become freaking awesome.

TLDR; I've been through all the ins and outs and probably have seen way more weird pictures than I have seen text messages from my mom and dad combined. PLEASE do not let people make you feel invalidated and PLEASE do not respond to weird DMs on here.

Much love and best wishes 🫰 also please wish me luck on my SAT please and thank you haha

Hey everyone! I'm a rising junior and I start school in three weeks (..like 9/10? ish). I've been busy prepping for the SAT and doing stuff so I haven't had time to prepare for AP Chemistry and wanted to get any helpful tips from people who are taking the course or have taken it before. I did pretty well in regular chemistry and for our school, we do a reverse classroom so we get Edpuzzles on I believe Farabaugh's lessons on Youtube. I heard from a lot of friends that this course was really hard and a GPA killer for them because it was self-taught, so I want to start preparing ahead of time with strengthening my foundations. Also plz let me know how the course was if you have taken it!! Thank you lots

hey everyone, i just wanted to share my semi still somewhat ish weird and new story :).

i went to the park the other day and came across an event a small musical theatre club was doing. they basically did a fun satire therapy reenactment, and i dont know what possessed me, but i came out to the woman (who was super sweet) and my close friends about him. the person i spent 25% of my life trying to get, from when i was 12. im 16 now, and i officially blocked him on all platforms and his number aswell.

the woman said something that stuck with me, that i want to share to those struggling. she said she would never even think about befriending a minor when she was 23, let alone get in a romantic relationship with them. its not our fault, these people cross boundaries and intentionally hurt us. i reached out to her instagram and thanked her. she was really well-spoken and i wish you all could have heard what she told me, she was deeply, deeply touched by my words. it felt so good confiding in someone who was the same age as my sister, it was good :).

so this is kind of my message to you all, go be freaking angelic and safe out there. have fun, meet new people, do stupid shit, but dont ever go back to ways that hurt you or people that have done so much pain to you. i spent my last few years as a ghost of myself, and now im studying for the SAT, just now a frazzled brain fried version of myself, funny isnt it? also please listen to phoebe bridger's new album friday!

please take my words into account or at least think about it. life is gona always fuck us over so dont let some old balding weirdo do that for us.

heyaa im from like around bensonhurst/gravesend lol, just wana meet some coool people to go cafe hopping or book shoppig with :)! i need cool record store reccomendations too to end summer off with a banger, so excired for phoebe's newww album next friday!!!!! thats it lol, im prety cool i think

heya im currently studying for the sat so usually im pretty busy during nights but im looking for some peeps to just call with and keep company cuz im sooo bored when i study, i like listening to phoebe bridgers and big thief! im also good listener and yapper, so thats pretty much it

this guy i knew reached out to me again for my birthday, he does it every year and i know i shouldve cut contact, but i didnt. he has a girlfriend, the same age as me, and treats her like shit (yeah surprising lol). anyways, he reached out drunk, told me he broke up with his girlfriend and that he loved me, he always has. you know how fucked up that is? ugh its been four years and i havent gotten over it. i cut him off again yesterday, i have a boyfriend now and i shouldnt feel an ounce of love or affection for this guy cuz im taken by someone whos very loving and so so sweet, but i do. fuck all of these manchildren they can smd

i feel like ive always been pretty well spoken against traditional power dynamics + traditionalist gender norms but i always got so fucking quiet with him. he was cool and had the same hobbies i did but he had the worst beliefs ever, raging traditional conservative and i felt so guilty i even liked him. my beliefs are so much different than his but i dont know why i fell for his sick mindset. he had a thing for power dynamics and i played into it but oh my gosh i hate it so much thinking back. why would someone change their beliefs for a man, one thats a narcissistic manchild? aaaugghhh

Uhh heya! I'm 15f, and I feel like I've always had a mini crush on most teachers, at least male ones that have taught me. I never acted on my crushes or fantasies before, but I feel so ashamed for it, and I don't have anyone to talk to about this because it is such a weird topic. I've never had a crush or major romantic relationship with guys at school or even guys at all, so I'm just confused about whether it has to do with my hormones or something. Thanks!!
