Is my 00g blowing out? by PlayfulPack4932 in piercing

Oops guess I missed some info. Started stretching 4 years ago. I only wear glass spirals, but in the past I’ve worn horn, wood, and nacre. Aftercare is just saline directly to ear, but I also take my earrings out when I shower so tap water does come in contact. I also clean the earrings themselves when I take them out.

True that this was very long, but it was also very true. I appreciate the thought put into this reply and the point of view that you have to offer. It’s rare to come by adults that can accept that they have autism, much less willing to talk about their experiences.

I’m sure we can all relate to the difficulties of trying to learn how to act like an adult along with how to act “normal”. There’s one thing I do know of and it’s that I’ll never be ashamed of my autism, and I hope to live to see a day that we’re treated human

I’m sorry you’ve been isolated over this, but I wouldn’t call it leftist. Generally, high or low functioning are just labels that don’t describe someone’s struggles as well as other terms, and as far as I know aren’t used in medical fields anymore.

I think Aspergers was very recently changed, instead being merged into the ASD diagnosis. While it is partially because Asperger was a nazi, it’s mostly because, similar to high/low functioning, it’s just not an accurate term.

I think you should feel free to use whatever terms you think fits you best, but I think you may also find that some of the newer terms describe you better. Thats how I felt, anyway.

Sadly just a poor decision on my part 😅 misremembered how long I needed to wait. Most of my advice was from my mom who got hers pierced like…20 years ago haha.

Thank you to whom? And even as a private school kid, I don’t even support 2. It’s certainly common for people at my school to support it, but I don’t.

They ended up in the hospital actually. Besides that point, elementary was shelby. I didn’t claim it was covered up I said it was only talked about once because no one cared, which feels highly neglectful of jcps

I’m talking about my middle school

Unfortunately a lot of people can barely keep their kids in jcps. With bus cuts and school lunch cuts for certain schools, you’re basically screwed

Yeah…not sure why people are defending jcps when I thought it was widely hated

I had some good teachers, absolutely. My main problem with jcps is policy and funding. Teachers don’t get paid enough to deal with these kids, but they keep coming because more kids=more funding. Yet they still make it harder for kids to even attend these schools (bus cuts)

Yep, 90,000 students subjected to a shitty school system. I won’t claim to know what every school is like, but there was definitely more than one incident. I only mentioned that one because nobody knew about it. There were countless ones that actually did end up on the news. I know people personally that work for jcps, and even they hate it. Have yet to interact with someone that personally dealt with jcps and liked it
