I don't think we have anything quite like that here in the States. 😢

So that's it? That's what I heard. Thanks, at least now I know. 😁
Honestly, I think more people in America should be organizing stuff like this. It’s not even that hard—just let your hair grow and then cut it off. You make a kid happy, and it's just a solid gesture. 🙂

Not sure where this belongs, but I need some info.

It’s the holiday season and I’ve got this sudden urge to give back. I know there isn't much I can do to make a massive difference, but I read somewhere about donating hair to help people battling cancer who lose their hair during treatment. It’s a small thing, but the gesture matters. Does anyone here actually know the specifics—where to go, how the process works, all that? All I know so far is that the minimum length required is about 5 inches, and I still need to grow mine out another inch or so before I'm eligible. Who do I even talk to, and what are the other requirements? Anyone on here have the scoop?

redharbor9 said:The real question is what exactly did you "pull off"...

- Shaping your sexuality?
- Getting through a standard teenage phase?
- Just gaslighting yourself?
- Suppressing your urges hard enough?
- ....?

This isn't just about changing sexual orientation.. 🙂

God, I don't even get this anymore. This place is a damn asylum. Straight guys will beat you up because you're gay, and then gay guys will beat you up because you're trying to be straight... 😕😕 😕

slyraven9, just keep doing what you're doing. Who knows, maybe you'll make it work.👍

Look, I hit wet dreams when I was 10. It wasn't even a big deal; I actually hit puberty a bit early because of other stuff going on. (And hey, maybe you’ll be getting laid before I did 😛, since I’m 18 now.) I remember my first orgasm happened toward the end of 4th grade, mostly triggered by stress—I was about 10, almost 11. From then on, the urge to masturbate kicked in. I started doing it, and even though nothing came out at first, eventually, this clear fluid would leak after I finished, and shortly after that, the wet dreams started. I noticed the sperm turned whiter and thicker around age 12 or 13.

To keep it brief: try masturbating. If you're actually ejecting, then you didn't miss the whole maturation process, you just haven't had a nocturnal emission yet. If nothing happens, maybe manual stimulation will help kickstart things down there. 🤷 Bottom line: if things haven't leveled out by the time you're 15, go see a urologist immediately!!!

Hope that helps.

Look, I get that it's mostly mental and that I should just force myself to stay disciplined... but the second I feel a little down, I turn to food to cope. It's more like I'm using food to comfort myself, really.
And it’s just a cycle. I’m terrified that time is slipping away and I'll never break free from this, never actually feel relaxed or happy with myself.

Is there someone you absolutely despise who looks better than you do?
Stick their picture on your fridge. That should give you enough pause to think twice before you grab something. 😉 It worked for me. 😁

And forget about "dieting." Just eat normal portions—eat healthy, sure, maybe have a square of chocolate here and there. But if you want results, hit the gym at least four times a week. You can run on the treadmill, use the elliptical, or hit the machines for abs, glutes, or hips 🤷 whatever works for you. And you know the drill: No pain, no gain! 😁

Good luck!

Honestly? Nah. I’m already crazy enough on my own, I don't need anyone else joining me 😁
🤣🤣🤣

p.s.: I dig your username. It reminds me of being a kid watching those old cartoons. 🙂

Look, you're never actually on your own. There’s always someone there, whether it's friends or family. And if that fails, just get a dog or a cat—trust me, you won't feel lonely with a pet by your side.😉 I know from experience.
And this idea that being alone makes you sick? Not necessarily. Solitude gives you a chance to recharge and reset. It's all about your mindset. Stay optimistic and keep things light; people can't resist that kind of energy. Personally, I'll play the fool if it means making others smile, because honestly, that's what makes me happiest.😉

Donna Wood52 said:That’s actually where the issue lies.

I get the feeling you're somewhat different from everyone else on this forum. You seem decent, empathetic—you write well. 😁

I don't know, maybe I'm misreading things, but that's just the impression I've gathered. There's a certain calmness to your words.

To be honest, half the time I have no clue what to even think about them. Sometimes they get under my skin so much I just want to flatten them. 😁 And then tomorrow they'll all be acting like saints again. Might as well take advantage of the window while I've got it. 😁

Hey. 😁😁😁First time someone actually gave me a compliment, even if they did call me a total blonde LOL.
My whole vibe is about helping people. Nothing hits harder than seeing the people around me actually happy with themselves. Honestly, I’m at my best when I’m just being myself—not some fake version of me trying to play nice just to please someone else. If you can take me as I am, cool. If not? You're an idiot. 😁

Donna Wood52 said:Here’s my dilemma...

That’s exactly why my circle of friends is so small—I can't just bottle things up. I know I’m not the only one who struggles with this, but for me, it creates this sense of inhibition and an actual aversion to most people, which just keeps shrinking my social world. 😕

In my eyes, there is no such thing as an "average" person; you're either genuinely good or you're completely warped, deeply corrupt... (and let’s be honest, the "corrupt" ones tend to outnumber the good ones). If you catch my drift?? 🤷

For instance, I was at a friend's birthday party recently, and there were some people there I just couldn't stand—even though I was meeting them for the very first time 🤣—but whatever. I ended up just getting up and leaving early, making some excuse about having a headache.

I realize I come across as spoiled, but sometimes I simply cannot tolerate certain individuals.

Does anyone else feel this way? How did you deal with it??

I totally get you. I have the exact same outlook, though I never really viewed it as a "problem." Sure, it drives me insane—and it still does—but it's just a part of who I am that I have to accept. It's probably not going anywhere. In my opinion, everyone in my high school was a complete idiot, constantly smoking and drinking, which is a massive turn-off for me and puts them on my blacklist immediately. Sometimes I just need time to process people. (They're still idiots, though, acting like they're 11 years old 😛). Basically, what I'm saying is: give people a chance. Get to know them. Your opinion of them will probably shift back and forth—they'll seem okay, then terrible, then okay again... it's confusing for a bit. But once you actually know someone, you see the full picture and then you can decide if they're your type or not. Also, if you vibe with someone zero percent right off the bat, don't force it. Don't try to be nice if you aren't feeling it, because you won't be able to fake being someone you're not for the rest of your life. All that effort will be wasted. It's true there aren't many good people out there, but that doesn't mean they don't exist 😉. You know the saying: better to have one real friend than a thousand acquaintances. Find someone who actually fits your vibe and stick with them. That's what I did 😁.
