    hey everyone <3
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    That sounds great @eylah , the Northern Lights there seem breathtaking.
    I hope it all comes together and that you are able to make the trip.

    @Cutelivejazz

    I hear you Jazz and that sounds very heavy. Books can hit us deeply and stay with us long after we’ve finished them, especially when we’re already feeling emotional. They can be powerful like that, revealing things we didn’t expect to see. Please know that you are not a bother at all. You matter here and you are more than welcome to share your feelings and what is on your mind. I send a virtual hug your way and am here to talk if you would like.

    @Ech0 honestly im so busy i always have something on im constantly rushing around sorting things out and i feel exhausted. My dream uni had this program that I applied to and i got an email today saying i got rejected bc there were too many applications (they prioritise less fortunate students) and its smth that would of rly helped me smth that I would need bc my family isnt from this system no one knows how it work i dont rly have anyone to go to and ask for practical advice on except for teachers and idk it just doesnt feel fair. Ik i sound like a whiny kid and ik what the government is doing is an amazing thing like hats off to them but there are still people who slip through the cracks who arent underprivileged enough to get help but also really need it. For half my life I got bullied pretty badly id hate going to school my parents would drop me off and i wouldnt let go of them and one of the TA was rly horrible i remeber this one time I was around 8 or 9 and o was crying (i dont remeber why) and i askerd her for a hug and she said no tell me whats wrong first and then you can have a hug. Secondary schools been rough to being bullied having panic attacks dreading going home dreading getting a phone call home there was an incident that happened TW mention of suicide
    I was speaking to a teacher and i was talking abt how I hate school and i said i hate being here which she misunderstoodand reported me and there was a ton of chaos i had to go to my gp it was pretty traumatic
    then the whole incident with my maths teacher having friends leave and not having anyone to just open up completely too seeing a lot of people having super close friends and laughing and hangign out with them always being together being happy and im just alone and I have good relationships with people like I can chat and have a laugh and a bit of banter with my classmates and teachers and yk were all in this together but there isnt someone I can hang out with and talk to or feel safe

    @Nemuritai That is cool. I unfortunately don’t know Japanese but I find languages in general fascinating. Out of curiosity, were you doing kanji, katakana or hiragana?
  • Ech0Ech0 Posts: 28 Boards Initiate
    @Cutelivejazz I am so sorry you’ve had to go through so much. That is a lot for one person to hold, especially when you’ve had to figure so much out on your own. It’s completely understandable that you still feel the impact of all that. None of what you experienced was your fault and you didn’t deserve to be treated that way.

    Getting rejected from your dream university program must have been disappointing and I can see how much it meant to you. I agree that the initiative is positive and important, but it doesn’t always catch everyone who needs help. Navigating all this without family who understand the system must have been extra tough and is a testament to your determination as you have had to find your own answers. And no child should ever have to fear school or cling to their parents in fear. In that moment with the TA, you were a child in pain who should have been given kindness and warmth and it is unfair that you weren’t.Secondary school sounds like it has has been a very challenging: dealing with anxiety, fear, and being misunderstood when you needed understanding most. You’ve shown such strength just by getting each day and continuing to move forward and I hope you can find some light along the way.

    I hear how hard it is to feel on the outside while others have those close friendships. That longing for someone who truly understands you is completely natural. You’re a thoughtful, kind and caring person and you deserve that kind of connection. We are here for you anytime you wish to lean on us.

    I’m really sorry others haven’t given you the support and understanding you deserve. But I hope you know that you’re not alone in this, and that it’s okay to ask for help. Sometimes sharing how you feel can be a small step toward feeling lighter. It’s okay to not have it all figured out and we are proud of how hard you are trying.

    I would like you to know, from this little corner of the internet, that we care about you and value you here. What you are feeling matters and you belong to this space. You aren’t alone Jazz. You deserve rest, connection, comfort and you shouldn’t have to carry all of this by yourself.

    @Ech0 exactly, I find all languages so fascinating as well, but Japanese is my absolute favourite - hence me learning it hehe. I can read and write hiragana and katakana comfortably and I'm currently working slowly on learning kanji - I know about 1600 so far <3
