I’m about to enter high school, and well, I had always used headphones since earbuds hurt my ears, but now in high school I will have more of freedom and will be able to use my phones during breaks or smth, so I was wondering which earbud could work for me? I’m looking for ones that work at least 9-11 hrs (that’s the time I will be at school), or that I can charge with the case, and that don’t hurt the ear or are very comfortable, portable and economic since i am student and I get paid less than minimum wage weekly 😔, I only have like 100-200 dollars but I will work more for more money.

I’m 16 fem, I am confident on the fact that I’m aroacexual but I don’t know if I should tell my parents, they have been questioning me because I haven’t had a boyfriend yet and they think I might be hiding one.

My parent is homophobic and my mother is not very open, I have hinted before about my sexuality and the had mocked it, should I just keep it for myself until I can move away or tell them about it?

(EDIT: I made a mistake it’s, STI in Englis, ITS is in Spanish for SEXUAL TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS.)
A week ago, I (16yo Fem) tried for the first time to shave this part they call “happy trail” and the bush down there, I don’t know how to shave, and when I shaved it started to burn so bad, but I was ashamed and nervous and decided to not tell anyone, so I just putted on some analgesic cream and continue with my day, by the third day nothing happened, but in the morning I was in a rush and left evidence behind of the cream, so my mom found out.

She didn’t told me until now, I, again, was to nervous and ashamed to admit it, so I said I just had a pimple there when she questioned me about it (bad idea), she said she will take me to the gynecologist, and it was then when I regretted not confessing, she now thinks I have an STI or pregnancy.

I recently got my period, and usually my belly swallows a bit, she noticed and asked, I told her it was because of my period, but she’s skeptical, now she has been asking my sister if I have a boyfriend, or has been hinting about if I had sexual relationships, it’s too late to confess, if I do she will think I‘m trying to move on form the subject and avoid going to the gynecologist to take the STI studies.

My other option is coming out of the closet and admitting I’m aroace (Aroacexual= asexual+aromantic) which has recently stopped being tagged like a mental disorder. I have hinted my sexuality before, and she made fun of it.

I’m stuck, I don’t want to make the STI exams because I’m scared of needles and also I don’t want the swab tests (basically taking a sample of cells or fluids from the vagina or anus to identify STI) since it sounds uncomfortable and horrible, but I also don’t think it’s a great idea to come out of the closet.
