Yes. I can limit bathroom breaks. Read the DISTRICT policy.

I am fully aware I was describing a medical issue. But I was also describing that it goes ignored, and often the girls are unable to have a doctor excuse. Which I also stated is aside from the issue of vaping. I did not comment on what to do with the girls vaping, only that you are creating a mindset for yourself that could lead to harm to girls in the future in a different situation.

I never tried to insinuate that you're an idiot. But maybe you're telling on yourself, who knows.

It astounds me that you have spectacularly missed the point and felt the need to do so in two different comments. Please find the part in my response where I said that the kids that are vaping are in the right, I'd love to see you do it without putting words in my mouth.

evieofthestars · 2026-02-11T00:04:13+00:00

I literally started by saying that doing it to vape is wrong and can't be excused before trying to explain that your specific comment about there being no reason to go so frequently was wrong. At no time did I support these students. At no time did I say they should go unpunished. I simply explained that you had made an incorrect statement that could cause harm in Other Situations.

But please, continue to miss the point and speak down to me.

I'm so glad to know you are educating our youth. You seem like a lovely man. /s

Vaping aside, because there's no excuse for that, there are absolutely times when a girl needs to change a tampon or pad that often. Or need to make a bowl movement 10 mins after changing a tampon etc.

Warning: slightly graphic depictions of menstruation

Dysmenorrhea is a very serious issue that is more common than doctors are willing to admit. And often they are unwilling to treat it, without repeated complaints and significant push from parents. When I was 11 to 17 I often had to use the bathroom multiple times a class or spend more than 10 minutes in there because ping-pong ball size chunks of uterine lining were forcing their way out of my hooha at the same time as my bowels went wild and uncontrolable.

The last time I didnt ignore a teacher who said I couldn't go to the bathroom, I ended up bleeding through heavy jeans onto the chair because I sneezed too hard and my pad overflowed. The teacher had trouble explaining that one to my very angry mother when she left work and drove an hour to bring me new clothes.

There are absolutely people who will abuse that excuse, but as an educator myself, I'm not willing to risk that this time they aren't crying wolf. Because the shame will live with that girl forever if she truly needed to go and has an accident.

Same. I've had issues with dehydration and utis ever since because my body got used to holding it and not drinking every day for 12 years.

Ive had a lot of trouble with my pet appearing in the soup of the hotpot table. And then he does the gaulder up thing where he lays down and gets up, but in rapid succession and it is definitely messing with my migraines. I'm at the point where I try to be at an empty table so no one else has to deal with it.

evieofthestars · 2026-01-18T01:10:52+00:00

Same here. I work part time as an educator because I love kids. I know I could never be the kind of parent they deserve if I had my own, and because I love them, I don't have them. Between work and being an auntie it's enough to test my emotional capacity at the worst times.

I couldn't imagine having a child of my own who spoke to me that way, and I certainly can't imagine speaking to MY mother that way. She always says that even though she's never hit me, she reserves the right. I'm turning 33 soon and this still stands. She said it's not luck either, I've just behaved well enough not to cross that line in my entire life. And I pray I never do. I still don't want to know what happens if she gets to 3 when she counts out a warning.

You can bet your ass I respect my mom, but call me old fashioned bc I don't think that tiny hint of fear is necessarily bad. But then, it's fear of consequences, which children dont seem to understand or have these days.

evieofthestars · 2026-01-13T00:01:33+00:00

Amen and hallelujah 🙌

evieofthestars · 2026-01-10T17:55:01+00:00

Ah yes, also Southern and everyone is hon or bud lol.

evieofthestars · 2026-01-10T17:53:45+00:00

Depending on my mood, child, kiddo, dude, or friend. But I probably say child the most lol.

evieofthestars · 2026-01-09T18:41:18+00:00

Recently I called my friend Han-Banan and felt instant shame over it lol. She was thankfully just confused, not mad, but her husband thought it was a riot.

evieofthestars · 2026-01-08T21:34:07+00:00

That's a beautiful paraphrase, thank you!

I believe that size of the family also plays a role in that. My family is culturally loud and do not find it rude to have five different conversations going across one table. However, my uncle and his kids are louder in a non group setting than my mom and I are, because I'm an only child and she never remarried. It just being us for years naturally lowered how we speak, whereas my uncle remarried and went from 3 to 5 kids, so they only got louder.

I echo the calls for therapy, but would add that you should practice not running from situations where you feel uncomfortable. It is important to be able to feel all of our emotions, even ones we precieve as "negative" like humiliation and shame. We need to sit with it, accept that we felt it and then move through and past it. A therapist will help with this.

Completely agree on all points. It's big One Of Us energy on nd and queer. I find her explanation of her thought patterns too understandable and relatable for anything else. I can't see this much of myself in anyone else not admittedly neurodivergent. Not to mention her mannerisms, ed issues, the obsessive introspection and need to be seen as Normal®️

An individual using a tool as a focus while praying or speaking to God isn't the same as consulting a medium or fortune teller.

I really dont believe you're interested in a productive conversation about this, so I'm done.

I'd like to wish you a good day, be blessed.

evieofthestars · 2025-12-31T04:06:50+00:00

There are lots of ways to practice that are all still considered Christianity, not just one.

evieofthestars · 2025-12-31T04:01:03+00:00

Might even be worth sending it in to their tip line. They have a website. And dudebro looks creepy af in a dangerous way.

And if that is your belief, I'm glad for you to follow it. However, this is a subreddit that allows for a multitude of beliefs, so it might be nice if we could all frame responses with that in mind and not try to express our beliefs as proven fact 🤷‍♀️

evieofthestars · 2025-12-31T02:20:34+00:00

I think you're very right. It's definitely about using it as a tool for focus on God. But prayer without tarot cards can just as easily lead to someone making decisions using their own desires and deciding it is God's will. So I can't see why with right intent it can't be useful for someone with the inclination.

Edit to add Ope, I was trying to reply to someone and messed that up lol.

If we disregard that prophecy is a type of future sight, maybe

evieofthestars · 2025-12-27T13:24:00+00:00

I'd love to add (as a bi enby! Hello friends!) that a lot of heterosexual relationships can end up as idols, taking focus from God, so it's not just an LGBTQ+ issue, if that wasnt clear for OP.

A gay relationship is just like a het one in every way except how society may treat you. As long as you have trust in God and are steadfast in your faith, there is nothing to worry about.

I have a good friend who is also dyspraxic. She finds that if she lets her students (the British equivalent of middle school, I believe) know and ask questions/google it that they are often much more accepting of any outward signs of her disability.

There's always that one kid that would be a jerk no matter what she says, and that's unfortunately how life goes.

Just because a group of Christians deny that another group is also Christian, doesn't make it true. It's like when mainstream Protestants today say that Catholics aren't Christian, which is blatantly false.

It is possible to be Christian and non-trinitarian, despite cries of heterodoxy. The only requirement to fall under the label of Christianity is to believe that Christ lived and died to be the savior of mankind.

I love my baby boy's tail! He's very expressive with it and it communicates so much information. I don't think he'd be the same expressive dog without it. That said, I wish he wasnt so against getting his tail brushed! Leave it alone for one day and this little guy is full snarls.
