--Click to change picture-- Avatar creator by @l-o-v-e Thanks so much for 65 views. 65. WHAT??? you guys are the bestest <333 Year 1- She/her, cisgender, Only half sentient, really long hair but I didn't treat it well. Did not know about the LGBTQ+ community or anything about this yet. Christadelphian. My best friend at the time just moved to America so that was tough. Relatively happy life. Year 2- She/her, cisgender, straight Pretty happy all of the time, sometimes had huge fights with friends but they were resolved pretty quick. Got my ears pierced. Recently started getting involved with a lot of music. Got my first crush, a boy who I sat next to in class. Still Christadelphian, no idea what the LGBTQ+ community is. Years 3 and 4- She/her, cis, straight At this time I cut my hair really short, HATED wearing dresses and pink or anything 'girly'. My crush has left to become homeschooled and I got a new crush, another boy who, frankly, was an idiot. Still really 'sheltered' by my Christadelphian community about LGBTQ+ people, but I know a little about gay people. Year 5- she/her, cis, straight Kept my hair short but really didn't treat it well, it became knotty and gross. Refused to wear any sort of dress or skirts, would only wear black and navy colours. Don't really do much to do with music but I had to do clarinet for my school band. Knows about the LGBTQ community and started to become interested in them. I went through at least three different crushes. Year 6- she/her, cis, straight Still kept my hair short enough to wear out at school but now know a little bit about keeping it nicer. Would still refuse to wear dresses or skirts and pink, still basically only wears black. Has started to read books with LGBTQ+ people and now knows a lot more and supports them. Made this Scratch account and joined at first to do coding. Year 7- she/her, cis, confusing time for my sexuality Started using music as an escape a lot more. Is still Christadelphian but supports the LGBTQ+ community. Started to wear brighter colours, use a bit of makeup, and met some of my best friends. Started to really want a phone. Was bi for about half the year but got outed accidentally by a friend and bullied for it by one of my 'best' friends. Found out about the chat studios and started to make lots of online friends. Has a new crush who is two years older than me. Year 8- pronouns got super confused, cis, straight?? Now openly supports the LGBTQ+ community which a lot of my friends are confused about. Still uses music a lot and is in a pretty dark time, or was because halfway into term 3 I discovered K-pop and SKZ and they have really helped me feel happier. Still likes the same guy but way too many people know. Got my second ear piercing. A lot of gender confusion, was non-binary for maybe half the year and flitted through different types of fem-related genders. Now I am genderfae. I use makeup and sometimes wear skirts just because. I still don't have a phone and I have many close best friends, although that my change. I also probably have undiagnosed ADHD and/or mild OCD. Now I've stopped liking that guy and have gone back to liking my first crush (i.e., his brother), I'm a lot more open about my personality now but still slightly more insecure about certain stuff. Others: My 'best friend' who bullied me - she/her cis, straight she still thinks we're friends and because my school is so small, I can't ditch her and find other friends. She is really rude and fires up about really little things My best friend number 1 - she/her, cis, straight This friend is really nice, she has a lesbian friends that she talks to sometimes. Sometimes she can be a little bit over-the-top but that's just her personality. My best friend number 2 - she/her, cis, straight She is one of my closest best friends mainly because we both have really similar experiences in life and have similar habits. She is really nice but doesn't really like my other best friend. She is not queerphobic which is great. My first crush - he/him, cis, straight He is less dorky than the picture seems but there were no thinner glasses. He is still one of my friends and liked me back at the same time. Sometimes he can be really stupid and is sometimes really rude when he's with his friends. He is really sporty and plays soccer in the same club as me atm. If you got this far, well done! Here's a gold star! Love you all <33 - Mellow
