I think that I guess it's worth a try. I just don't know what they could possibly tell me that I haven't heard countless times.

no not really

My therapist helps me with unsafe thoughts and dealing with difficulties with mu family.

I don't feel comfortable because I'm an awkward teenager and it feels strange to talk to adults I know well about stuff like that.

Yes, I do still see them. I'll be seeing them today, in fact. But, no, not really. It's just not conversation I feel comfortable having with people I know. If it's removed like this, it's fine, but someone I interact with regularly is just too uncomfortable.

lots of context I've said a million times, bad choices, physical scarring, etc. I can't move on from a relationship that ended over a year ago. I've had a crush on other people, but still haven't been able to move one. Only theory is that they are the only real relationship I've ever had and I misse...

Thanks, Ill try that!

Thank you, I appreciate your empathy!

As well as I can and I have always had safety plans but they can never be 100% full proof. Only so much can be done, honestly.

I had a super massive fight with my sister who has been a massive ass my whole life, my therapists thinks is toxic, and consistently shows that they are incapable of acting in the way a sibling should. I obviously am not a perfect person but nothing I have done has warranted the treatment I have bee...

Update ig: I've slowly been erecting more and more boundaries with my teacher as time has gone on. I was getting kinda creeped out at first as they became more and more resistant to me pulling back by continuously guilting me about it, but I eventually made it clear that that was super not okay, so ...

Thank you!

I just completed step 1, and got back, "sounds good!"

All I can really say is, wow, that hurt say more than I thought it would but it's what I was expecting and it's what is right.

I guess the boundaries I'm going to set and steps I would take to establish them would be this... 1. Say that we should stop texting about unrelated stuff. If there's nothing bad going on here, this shouldn't be a problem. 2. No more always eating lunch in their room. Everyone I know may be doing th...

Yes, it does. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I agree it is a boundaries issue that I've always found somewhat alarming as my mother works at a school and has always been pretty vocal about the importance of maintaining a student teacher relationship, and nothing else. However, it's alway...

So, for quite a while I've had a thing for one of my teachers. I feel like that's a pseudo-normal thing, but idrk. Regardless, my attraction for them has developed into me holding legitimate romantic feeling. This fantasy is obviously entirely unrealistic, not to mention illegal, and I know it's onl...

I am not sure, however, am not optimistic. Both the superintendent and the school board want this policy and many teachers fear for their jobs on this issue. Most teachers have been forced to make anonymous testimonies.

I have looked into the ACLU in the past. Unfortunately they ACLU sung the praises of a school with an identical policy, because it was the first one to have a policy at all, not because it's actually good. That statement, however, is working against us. I will look into TSER. Thank you! Unfortunatel...

The school board in my high school is working to add a policy to the school district forcing teachers to out students to their parents without student consent. We live in an incredibly right wing town, and my friends fear for their lives as they believe their parents will physically hurt them if the...

How do I do that?

I come from a small town and it is nearly impossible to find people I really connect with.

I haven't been talking here for a while for a handful of reasons. I don't really expect much of a useful response because I've come to terms with the fact that I will have to resolve this for myself, but sometimes it's just nice to scream into the void. Romantic life is complicated, sexual life is n...

Thanks! That really helps!

Is it wrong to want to be in multiple active sexual and romantic relationships at the same time? I feel like many people automatically become offended when you so much as mention wanting to be with other people. Like I'm making a statement about them and that they aren't enough. Plus, the whole idea...

Thank you, I'll try

I would like to reiterate that there are many lqbtq+ people who are republican, however, gay rights is more often supported by democrats

So, there's been a massive surge in lgbtq+ pride in my grade in recent months, which is great. But it's causing a lot of problems for me... 1. So I fit into the republican camp on most political issues. With the lgbtq+ pride there's been a lot of pushback from people who are against it, who are USUA...

I mean I apologise. But other than that, no. It's not really their fault. I feel like talking about it would either be blaming them for a part of it, or me just apologizing more. Do you disagree?
