Pm? Maybe..

I was put into a group for a project with these three boys... I hate their guts.

Day One: They began playing a game where you can create a pandemic to kill the world, and they decided to name it "The Gay". Later on that period, another one of the trio made a comment stating, "See? This why the LGBT community should die." I was tempted to warn them and say something along the lines of watch what you say (as they were practically shouting and there are actually two homosexual kids in the class). I too, can be considered part of the LGBT+ community, so to put it lightly, I was pissed. I decided against saying anything just because I knew it would result in a panic attack. I regret that now.

Day Two: We had to make a Google Forum survey, and one of our questions was to select your gender. I asked politely, passive aggressively pointing out I was aware they disliked the LGBT+ community, if it was alright with them if we still put in an Other option. The nicest of these homophobes (which is actually an oxymoron) complied to my wishes grudgingly. Later on that day, I logged back onto the forum and noticed someone had edited it. A different kid from the one who granted me permission of an Other option had put quotation marks around the Other. That pissed me off ten fold. It is understandable why I was mad though, right?

Day Three: I logged back in to find the Other option completely gone. Instead, there are options such as: male, female, avacado, lawn chair, specimen 7, etc, and a fill in the blank. I was fed up with all these "jokes" (and particularly offended by the avacado one just 'cause I'm foodkin). Another kid, I'm assuming to be one of the gay children (I love them both to pieces) actually filled in the space saying, "This is childish and offensive." Preach, my dude. I decided to take up his idea and give them a peace of my mind as well. I filled in the option with "I didn't agree to any of this, you homophobes," then in another said, "I actually hate you people," then submitted it.

I actually feel really proud of myself for standing up for something I believe in. I don't want to regret it, but I do worry if I went overboard. Do you believe I did the right thing, or did I stoop down to their level? I also stress that someone might find out it was me, but then again let them! I don't want those other kids to think I had any part in the creation of that survey.

(I'm an adult)

My dad is doing things that aren't okay to my siblings and they're too scared to do anything about it. Legally I can do nothing about it and I feel helpless.

If the problem is serious enough, can you call CPS (or its equivalent in your area) and report him?

My brother is an adult and ny sister is almost an adult so I think CPS really wouldn't do much about the situation. My brother would have to contact the police himself if he wanted action to be taken, but I think he's afraid to come out and say that.

I want to run.
Far, far away from this dreadful house.
I know the only reason they keep the computer out in the open is because
1. They can't trust me
2. I will never leave my room
I wish I never left my room, in fact.
I want to run far away from this dreadful house.
I can't deal with this.
There's so many things that I want to say.
But I can't, not even on here.
It would make me feel so much better to discuss all the things wrong with me.
But I can't.
I can't cry.
My grandmother would find out, try to comfort me, fail, not sleep, talk about it to my mom, have her ask me why I was crying, and then I would have to look for a reason that was not "I'm depressed and I hate myself."
i can't talk about it.
Lord knows what my family would do, and they especially wouldn't believe me. Of course my dad would just think i'm looking for attention as always.
I can't make it any better.
I can't take anything like therapy or pills for personal reasons, and there's nobody to seek help from.
I'm so helpless and i'm a problem child and i can't
I don't know what to do anymore.

*sigh*
So this person has been really mean to me for like the last two weeks and it seems like it was for no apparent reason so I have just ignored them and let them be cruel toward me thinking that they just wanted the attention, but today I had the last straw so I asked them why they thought it was okay to be so rude and they told me "you were sneak dissing me so now you're a target all the time" and I have no clue what they are even talking about because honestly I was totally tolerable of them before they started targeting. I don't ever remember saying anything about them behind their back but they said someone told them I was saying stuff. So now I have to pay the price for something I don't even think I did and it's really upsetting me. Like why do people think it's okay to do stuff like this? Like I can't even talk on the discord anymore without him saying something to me even when I'm talking to someone else. I just feel like absolute garbage and could use a hug right now

Everything seems to be going wrong lately. I've lost my cat to liver failure, been bullied at school, and everything just stresses me out. I have exams coming up and I can't handle it.

I cannot stand my roommate.
I hear her talking to her friends literally less than 15 feet from my desk where I'm studying, right outside the room with the door open. I don't know if she thinks I'm deaf, or since I have earbuds in, I can't hear her, but I generally don't even have music on, and I am evidently not deaf?
I hear her saying, oh, my room is such a mess right now, it's so ugly- knowing full well that she's a complete neat-freak, and her side of the room looks perfect, but my side is messy because 1) I don't have time right now and 2) I don't really care what the room looks like; and besides, it's far from messy, it's just not perfect.
Then I hear her talking-- from what I could tell, one of her friends said something about inviting me to go with them to Starbucks or whatever, and she just goes, no, [insert my name here] doesn't work that way. Like, excuse me? I'm friends with some of your friends, they know me a lot better than you do, and perhaps I would have enjoyed being invited since I'm going through a really hard time recently, which you know about?

I hear her talking about me from outside the room all the time, this is just the latest in the string of inconsiderate or just rude acts of my oh-so-lovely roommate. I don't get it either, since we get along fine when we talk, and I am extremely considerate of her (getting dressed in the dark so she can sleep in, leave the room if she's on the phone, etc). I am so careful to be considerate and friendly, and she is constantly bashing me behind my back.
I cannot stand her.

On top of that, my childhood home is going on the market soon, my family is moving, but since I'm away at college the new house will never really be my home- it'll just be where I vacation over breaks. My family will be there, know the area, and I'll always be the odd one out. I feel so out of place at college, and so grounded by my home, but now I'm losing that.
I suppose this is the bigger problem, I just don't know that I'm ready to face it.
I don't want to be unable to see my high school friends. I don't want to lose the city I know, the places I love. I don't want to leave my fencing club, or the place that I grew up. I feel like I'm losing everything.
It sounds stupid, but I feel like I'm losing part of my family. They'll all move on and move in, make this new place home, and I'll never be comfortable there. It'll never be home; I'll spend most of the year at school, hundreds of miles away.

So my hugest crush ever is asking someone out. I'm just so annoyed yet... Idk, I want her to be happy but I also love her. I'm not sure how to feel about this or what to do ;_;

[gouache]

I feel so alone, and this is the first time I'll speak out about it.
Not lonely, as such, it's a worse kind of feeling. Yet, I'm much too
shy to even comprehend writing a reply if someone happens to
message me, I don't know how to put words to it.
