Hi
So, I'm pretty sure HH had another post like this, but it hasn't been active since October of 2021 and I am bored rn, so why not? (Unless this is against HH rules).
This thread is a place to post your stress , body struggles
, period cramps
, weird questions
, outfit mishaps
, embarrassing stories
, friend issues
, school stuff
, math questions
, verbal + anything else abuse at school
, being so tired you can't do anything
, being lazy and sad because nobody understands
, seeing the real good in people and the world
, those times you look at yourself and you are just like "I HATE BECOMING A TEENAGER :yuck:" and anything else that applies to the middle school and high school life, that I guess is "teenagerish or pre-teenish". So yeah, girl support group? I don't wanna sound exclusive, but uh...girl support group
???
And there are also upsides to becoming a teen, a grown person. You dress the way you like. Try makeup for the first time. Use a flattening iron. Turn 13 ! We develop music and art taste
, and what we wanna do when we grow up. That feeling (hahaha) when you pay for a smoothie or some clothes by yourself. When you have a first real love
, or when you have a cry and it feels real
. You love an animal for the first time and take care of it without help
. Discover the beauty of the world and meet people
! Learn about how babies are made in your 7th grade health class
. Pronouns! Gender! Sexuality
! All something new and exciting. Begging to go to the mall with a new friend
. Feeling cool/confident in an outfit
. Drooling over someone on TV
. You can be yourself!!!
I know that school is really stressful and another lonely, chaotic place for some of us, so that's why we need places like this. A lot of people feel really awkward talking about their unanswered questions or just "hey, uh, is this normal?". Nobody prepares us for the reality of being a teenager and being in middle or high school. For those of you guys who have experienced this, or not yet - sadly, middle school is not at all like Disney Channel . Our body parts, the things everybody has - are shamed. We are told to cover up and not be a "distraction" (freaking garbage). Just saying "butt" or "boobs" or even - "tampon!" will have people like
. It's crazy. And for girls and guys - there is sexism lurking everywhere. It sucks. All the guys in the class looking at you and say "Oh haha, you are to young to know!", when both you and they know darn well that's not true and it's because you are simply the opposite sex then them. Kids are getting this stupidness put into their brains, such as: pink is for girls and blue is for guys or 2 girls or guys getting married is "gay marriage". It's honestly sad to see the way women and Lgbtqia+ people are STILL being treated today, yes we have come a long way thanks to many brave men and women, but we have a long way to go, till equality comes. Developing opinions is important and not letting people rule your life also, and its hard to say no sometimes. We feel overpowered. I am no stranger to "it gets better". Sometimes (I don't mean to be scary), it doesn't. But you have the power to make a change. People will lie to you sometimes, ig. Lying is a second nature to some people. And it sucks when we become the people our parents tell us to stay away from. But don't fall to a dark side of yourself. Stay true to yourself, and what you wanna be. Also, those people who believe mental health is just another trick to gain attention and everything is "psychobabble"
. Don't listen to them. Listen to yourself. Mental health IS REAL, REAL AF. I guess what I'm trying to say is
life sucks and is tough. Jk, jk, it is tough and sometimes SUCKS :faint:and there is too much you have to know and it gets overwhelming and people will get in the way. People will sometimes suck and animals will be better sometimes! But you will find those people. IRL on online, like HHF. Nothing stays the same, remember that. Just like "all good things can't last forever", same for bad things. You have the power to make it better. Channel that to something meaningful, something that is good
Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk
So just feel free to post anything.
No judgement. You can say anything you want
We all go through this! It's normal! There shouldn't be stigma around these topics. Lets take down this harsh, awful wall of shame , and build a safe, accepting community.
So yup, this is a safe space for "girly" topics. Anything.
Talk space
Question space
Wierd + embarrrasing place
Anything place
Much love, y'all <3
Feel free to post anything
