Sensational Sunday Ivy,

You do not need to worry about what other people think. You will NEVER be able to think for anyone, nor need to worry about their opinions. ITS YOUR LIFE!

You need to decide for yourself how you are and want to be. Then live YOUR life; not anyone elses!!!

Ivy, I get you 100%. I had almost the exact experience as a bisexual tomboy in high school. You can’t appeal to everyone, you just can’t. Trying will only give you even worse problems. Trust me.

You have to learn to not give a crap and take license to live your life and ignore all their noise. Did I get ALL the approval and ALL the friends by choosing to be true to myself? Nooo… but at least I was happy! Social stereotypes are cages that only distort our views of ourselves. There’s so much more nuance to our human lives than “labels” can ever describe.

Cheers. :bell:

My transmasc son just started dressing unisex in high school. It’s probably the most comfortable!

They were always hanging around brother’s friends, but no makeup and no ‘girly’-ness. No prob.

Be yourself. Be true to yourself.

You will learn who your real friends are along the way too.

Don’t be scared to reach out to those that will listen and not judge you when you feel the pressure of what others do or say.
It is important to know that you are not alone and that the other people have the issues, not you.

Hi,

I’m a girl(or should i say young woman now?), was not accepted by boys nor girls when i was at your age, girls think i’m not "girly“ and boys laugh at me and said i’m a nerd. I just played on my own or with a few close friends when others played with their group.

i just keep a “去他的吧!” attitude, after all, it’s always the best to be yourself instead of fitting into social stereotypes.
