Also about the RE incident it wasn't an excuse basically what happened was when I spoke to the pastoral teacher she spoke to my RE teacher so ig I need to go to the bathroom was kinda like a code word of im panicking let me leave but she either forgot or didnt know it was me idk but I rly pissed me off.
@Cutelivejazz hey jazz, sorry it's been a few days. It's definitely worth talking to your pastoral teacher again, or just directly to the RE teacher if you feel able to, just to remind them of it. With any luck, it's a one time forgetfulness thing from the RE teacher. And no problem. You deserve someone listening to you vent about these things and to get advice for it, even if it's not the best advice.

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? (Triggering stuff edition) w/c 08.09.25
So it's my second week of my induction of my supported internship and I will be honest I did feel very tired yesterday. Also there's opportunities for me to be part of a the youth group omy inter ship and stuff. I mentioned it to my parents but I think they were worried about me getting burnt out and stuff. But I want to do things. I am learning coping strategies for it as well. I did get upset last night talking to them because I did realised I'm not as independent as I think I am or want to be. I hardly get up without my mum calling for me and doing breakfast. But today I literally forced myself to get up, do breakfast and tea, coffee for me, mum and dad. I feel like I'm so lazy and I don't do anything at all.
It's a whole new routine for me right now, new people, new workplace etc. Bur my tutor is great and supportive.
Sorry for my stupid rant I rarely rant on here.

Re: Dating a much smaller man
Hey
I can understand this as my partner, who I’ve been with for 7 years, is both shorter and smaller than me. It goes against all the stereotypes but, just to reassure you, it can and does work out. I think he feels more insecure than I do about it, especially when I choose to wear heels (which tbf I don’t often as I’m a giant as it is lol)
Do you feel quite insecure in yourself in general? You say it’s not about what other people think and that makes sense, it’s about how you’re feeling about it. I’m just wondering if you feel like that in other areas too?
I know for me lack of confidence is a big issue, and I’m working on that, so I can’t really give any advice. But I know where you’re coming from
