@Maria2008 I was talking to someone on a multiplayer game and I thought we had something in common but it turned I think I put them off. It is kind of true though as the world is a hard place at times but there are a small minority of us who are actually kind and good-hearted people, it just takes a while to find them I think

i agree that is why i think i joined the mix in hope to find some good people and then with others its just really hard to find them like it took 4 years to find my boyfriend even tho we were in the same school together in the same form same classes but it took us 4 years to find each other the first time he noticed me he goes ' this is gonna sound awkward coz we dont know each other but i really like u and i kind of wanna skip the friendship part' ok enough of me rambling on about my future husband oh yh he called me his wifey yesterday lol

Also when I joined The Mix but also I joined because of other stuff going in my life back then which was 2021 and 2022 I think but it does take a while to find that person and sometimes you kind of have to go through lots of people before you find something at least that kind of what I think ish.

Re: QUESTION OF THE WEEK

@JJLemon18 That's actually interesting with the kindness thing as it is true that a lot of people do use kindness as a way of manipulation which I find is sad but it happens. I feel that way too as normally it is because someone is after something or needs something.

Re: did anyone move out at 16

You have every right to privacy and not being overly controlled @Maria2008. In fact, it might be worth noting control and coercion are now recognised forms of domestic abuse depending on the context and you deserve to be treated better. Would anything help right now to reduce their control and let you have more privacy at the moment? We are all here with you

Re: he asked 'when can we get intimate'

@Maria2008 Hiya I'm a bit late but I just wanted to drop in here to let you know that you can find all laws on consent etc on NHS borders = https://www.nhsborders.scot.nhs.uk/patients-and-visitors/our-services/general-services/underage-sexual-activity-interagency-guidance/sex,-young-people-and-the-law/ and also in case you need it in the crime & safety tab of the mix = https://www.themix.org.uk/crime-and-safety/your-rights/age-of-consent-9106.html

I think generally if you're below 13, you can't give legal consent, and if 1 of you is 16 and the other is not yet, any sexual activity may be legally viewed as a sexual offence, regardless of the verbal consent given. I'm not sure what the law is specifically when you're both 13+ and below 16 but I don't think it applies to you anyway...

Hope the links work! and I hope you're safe

Re: back to school

Hey @Maria2008 - I know you’ve already had a lot of replies but just thought I’d let you know that second hand sites like Vinted sell a variety of clothes in a range of sizes from so many brands, and they’re often very reasonably priced - and you can make offers on items if you think the price is a bit steep! You can also find stationary on there too - much of it brand new!

I hope this helps

Re: A drawing I did

Hey @Chloe234 - your drawing is great! I couldn’t agree more with the sentiment, music has been such a comfort to me too. I’m really looking forward to seeing more of your creations!

Re: Crying at work

Hey @SpaceOtter, I hear you. It sounds like work is feeling overwhelming for you at the moment. There's no shame in crying - it's a natural response to what sounds like a difficult situation. And I'm glad to hear that you have people like your supervisor who seem supportive!

That being said, it might be worth considering what is causing you to cry here. Would I be right to say that the loud and crowded environment is the main trigger? Do you know why it might be leading you to cry?

It may be a good idea to talk to your supervisor about the things that are driving you to feel this way. Hopefully you can work together to come up with a solution that helps you to work, but removes the triggering factor.
