Am I an alcoholic?
So I am 14 year old girl. I drink, (parents dont know) and I was wondering if I was actually addicted. I’ve been drinking since I was 11, mainly my parents liquor or shoulder tapping and getting friends to buy it for me. Ik it’s not amazing but since I had to stop self harming I js started drinking more. I drink a bit, some friends drink more than me and some dont drink at all (fine by me). I have maybe a couple of drinks a day more if I have school and at least 4/5 if I’m out socialising with friends. Was kinda concerned abt it tho, my memory isn’t great but I can’t remember much when I’m drunk. My friend made a comment ( woah bitch have y seen how drunk y are all the time) abt how I drink a lot, I told her it was my way of dealing with life. But it made me think js how much I drink.🍸 any advice would be fucking amazing thanks

Re: Trigger warning!⚠️ tried to kms but failed now I’m stuck here and struggling
Hey @Penny , I just want to echo what @Leyla and @shannon_164 have said above here. Thank you so much for trusting us with making this post, and we're here to listen to you without any judgement or pressure to know the answers or to feel any differently. It sounds like this past month might have been an extreamly hard and isolating time, and it takes immense courage to be opening up. You deserve to be heard.

Boundaries with Self and Others
..... Do you agree with this quote? How would you define boundaries?
Thank you so much to all those who attended our Saturday Support Thread today to chat all things 'Boundaries'.
Setting boundaries can feel really overwhelming sometimes. It’s not always easy to know where to start, what our needs actually are, or how to find the right words. That’s why I’m hoping this thread can be a supportive space where we help each other figure it out, together.
Got a situation you're struggling with? A relationship that’s feeling a bit off-balance? A promise to yourself that’s hard to keep?
Let’s come together in the replies below and share ideas, support, and creative ways to set boundaries — with kindness, clarity, and care!

Re: Next week
Sending you so much luck, @Redemption , and we're all here supporting you! It sounds like a wonderful opportunity, and I really hear your determination and hard work. What do you feel you might need in the days leading up to Wednesday to take care of yourself?
@Sian321 thanks you. I'll probably just try not to think too much of it, prepare for it, do research and all of that to feel better. Just try to relax though.
Re: Struggling to cope
Happy Easter @Sian321.
No problem.
Yes. That is correct. I will share more about my self-worth.
Thank you.
