Hey I'm 16 going on 17 and recently my family found out I'm doing DIY. My mom while she wasn't thrilled and is upset to a degree, is okay with it because she offered to take me to get labs done. But my dad, oh boy. He's been interrogating my mom and originally kicked me out for the weekend because my stepmom found one of my needles and said that she's going to get her kids taken away from her. He's talking to my doctor and trying to find out who gave it to me (which I'm not telling btw). He was already against the idea of me going on hormone blockers before they got banned in ohio, plus he's never really been accepting of me as his son. Could he get me arrested or like send me away somewhere??? I do love him really but I needed to do this for myself or else I don't think I would've made it through highschool. These have been the best 3 months of my life, I can actually look at myself and not see a stranger, but me. He hasn't talked to me at all since Wednesday and I'm planning on not going back for two weeks because I don't want to deal with this right now. No matter how many times I try to explain being transgender to him and my stepmom it kind of just goes in one ear and out the other. He said he was tired of this and can't deal with me anymore, I get why he said it so I don't blame him at all, maybe I should just stay far away. I'm not a good influence on anybody.

Sorry for rambling I honestly I'm just anxious and nervous and I don't want to go to jail I just want to be myself and I don't want my dad to hate me forever

I genuinely don't think I'll ever be able to stop. Sure I have periods of time where I don't do it, but I always end up back at square one. I honestly do want to stop but it just doesn't seem in the cards for me

Hey reddit, so recently I just found out what dyscalculia is, and I'm trying to get tested through my highschool. The problem is everyone keeps saying that since I have high testing scores and I'm considered "gifted" plus I've passed my math classes I don't have any red flags. Is this possible? Because I have a giant list of troubles in math/math related subjects that correspond very closely to dyscalculia 🙁. I'm worried that I'm kind of just making all of this up in my head, and I know reddit isn't a licensed psychologist but I honestly need input, because I'm really lost as to what to do. I've had problems in math ever since I started school, like REALLY bad problems, but my parents were never contacted about them or told about them during conferences apparently...idk my dad keeps saying that maybe I just need to work harder and that I'm not a math person but I know people who aren't math people and they don't even have the issues I have.
