Hey there guys gals and non-binary palsssss It's late at night but I just feel like I need to talk about this,,, Why do people say it's not okay to date others unless they're in high school or above?? Never let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. I've seen people say that if you're under thirteen, you don't really love someone. You like them. That is not true at all. About a year ago I had a thing for my best friend, and it wasn't just "like". I really, really did love her. I don't see her as that anymore (and we're still friends lol) but when I did I knew it wasn't just "like". AND I WAS 11 THEN!! They're your feelings, and no one can tell you what to feel and how to feel it. I'm not gonna get into gender love, y'all already know (and if you don't you're uneducated and need to look up the definition of "love" before you get your butt in serious trouble. oh and pee ur pants) that love is love no matter what gender you identify as. You should feel safe here on scratch, or at least on my profile, to talk about this. I've been through this stuff. I've never been in a relationship, but even though I'm only twelve, I want to. I'm extremely lonely these days, and I just need someone to really love me and all that fluffy crud. I just.... I don't feel like I'm allowed to. I'm in junior high, and I feel like it's okay to date, but usually I'm the type of person to do something after I see others doing it and know it's "safe" to do it too. Also, I really don't know many other girls (at least those who are attractive. Rip me) who know if they're LGBT+ or not. They're still figuring it out, and since we are in middle school, I don't blame them haha. It's crazy that I DO know how I feel towards girls at my age. I've been so.... desperate to love someone that... gosh, I'm pretty sure i have an online crush. I told her, and I'm pretty sure the feelings aren't returned, but whatever. I probably don't even feel it. I'm only 12, right? And you can only have romantic feelings towards someone if you're thirteen or over. RIGHT? Yeah. Thanks for reading. ...I had to get it off my mind. ...I need a girlfriend. Even just a temporary online one lol. Just... Mrrrrgh. I don't know, it's like 11 PM and.. I need. I need someone who I can TRUST, you know?! Goodnight. Ily. edit: for whatever reason this got a lot of attention, and like 100x more than i thought it'd get? woh, y'all are being so responsable in the comments and i'm so happy that i was able to start a discussion.
