Hey guys, so I’ve been going through a lot for the past few months, and I might take a break for a little, I don’t mean for like a whole year, ofc I’ll be back for you guys before then. But I might need a while to get things straight with my family. So here I’ll explain what’s going on if you want to know. For a while now I’ve been going to a martial arts training program. The leader there is VERY discriminatory about people in other religions or people that have feeling for the same gender, or people who change they’re gender. He’s been teaching kids from the age of 5 - 13/14 that being like that is wrong and that in that case, you are not a child of god. And that he does not appreciate you. He has been teaching kids many more things that are very wildly innapropriate (I can’t even say what it is on this site because it’ll probably get me banned) things, that you would need written permission from the parents to be able to talk about. And that’s just the martial arts program. I haven’t told my parent what I identify as yet so they still call me by my birth name/dead-name, So does everyone I know besides a select few. My parents think being like that is weird. (I’ve talked about it comparing it to a friend once) And they say that I have nothing wrong with my life, and how they’re childhood was awful. They compare everything I say about myself to them. Example: ———————————————————————— Me: Hey mom? Her: yeah? Me: I don’t like myself/How I look Her: Oh, I hated my looks when I was your age too. Look at this picture of me when I was a kid-
