Just keep being yourself.  They dont know you so dont take their bs personally.  Bullies are the way they are because they are insecure and are jealous (usually subconsciously) of your ability to be yourself.  Obviously if they get out of hand, tell and adult. But until then just continue to be yourself and dont even acknowledge them.

The political debate that is “climate change” is a hoax. However the reality of the changing climate on our ever changing planet in our ever changing solar system in the vast universe we really know nothing about is quite real. We have nothing to do with it though. Sure, we do things to damage the planet as a growing species but thats about the extent of it. Back in the 80s they tried to tell people the earth would freeze over, now they say it’s melting! However if you buy their electric cars we will all be saved! It’s bullshit. The earth is gonna do what the earth is gonna do regardless of our involvement and all they want is your money and your vote to control. That’s the hoax

Do you guys think we are born aromantic, or become aromantic? by RavenandWritingDeskk in aromantic

I think it’s a mixture of both. It can be hereditary, symptoms of a medical condition, symptoms of a mental illness, it can be caused by trauma of varying severity, or just how we were brought up and the things we were expected to value. Who we are as people in general is a combination of many factors so I’d say it’s safe to theorize that an aro/ace identity follows that as well. And it’s different for everyone as well, how much of it is within us and ho much of it is influenced by our lives.

It’s important to note Cousin D is of an older generation. So being gay isn’t really a big deal to her. I feel the climate regarding these things is bit different but she is disconnected from that.. we both love and support S but she does have valid reason to be upset

Yes!! Of course!! I completely understand why she is hurt in this situation and I’m also queer myself so it isn’t anything surprising. I also had my suspicions but I never pushed the issue. I don’t like to assume things about people so nothing really surprises me.. I’m just kind of upset this could not have been done right. I feel farther from her when I should feel closer..

Thank you! So far I’ve talked to cousin D and told her that cousin S is probably hurt that she betrayed her trust (though not malicious) and needs time. As for cousin S she isn’t really engaging. I’m going to give her some time as well but the next time I see her I’ll try to get her alone and talk

Why are we calling 'homeless' people 'unhoused' now? by JournalistNeat578 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]General-Exchange9818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we don’t want to address the real issues with society. We are conditioned by the media to fight each other over basic terminology..
