I’ve been considering it for a while. She was my neighbor, long-time good friend, and I’ve been into her for a while. We started going on dates and becoming official not too long ago, and I was thinking of moving in with her.

All our families completely support the idea and so does my GF.

You can talk about almost anything in any language, primarily those that aren’t English. :)

You may use this as an alternative instance, although the owner of the one on lemmy.ca appointed me as a mod.

All the time in middle school and high school, I’ve heard, for example, “My girlfriend doesn’t like that I do X” or “My wife and I did X this weekend”, and since the teacher is a man, it’s seen as acceptable.

Would casually mentioning having a girlfriend cause angry emails from parents, even if I’m not discussing forms of romantic attraction in schools? These kids are like 11-14 anyway, parents’ job to teach orientation (which I’ve heard argued) or not.

Also, we learn relationship descriptions in middle school Spanish if you choose to take it, which includes words like novio, novia, esposo, and esposa. (Shouldn’t matter, especially if the school I teach in is at a non-Conservative community)

My sister was born in September 2010. She’s going to be in high school this autumn and one of the first freshmen to turn 15 during the school year.

I was 15 years old when I started freshman year and 16 by the end of the year, so I graduated high school at nineteen. (College grad since age 23 last year).

Born in 01. I’m excited to be 24 and have a celebration with my girlfriend and family, but I feel OLD.

What is the cutoff? When do you stop being a young woman?

(I was going to say I wish I was still around 10 years younger when I realized that people born in 2011 are going to be/are 14 and not 5.)

Other edit: It’s been almost 8 years since my Sweet 16. Holy crap. My sister was 6.

As someone who’s never drunk a full thing of it besides a beer once at around 18(?), I can say I have never gotten drunk before. I’ve also had some sips but definitely not drunk.

I want to try actually having some alcohol besides that beer since I’m drinking age in the United States (I’m 23). I decided I would order a daiquiri for dinner with my girlfriend.

(If this helps, I’m 135 pounds, 5’6, and female.)

For anyone who uses or used TikTok, I can view their profile and posts but it says I can’t message them “at this time. Report if there was a mistake.”

I see several for political news but IDK if there’s one for discussing/asking about them.

Native speaker of English & Spanish. Born in the US, technically, but we moved because of some job my dad had, I think.

He decided to stay in South America, and when I learned about certain things via friends, school, and the Internet, they happened to be in Spanish.

My parents, who I spoke English and Spanish with, didn’t really teach me certain adult stuff, so I learned through literature and school assignments (but also TV).

(So sexual topics and topics related to drugs I learned in Spanish)

This guy at school who my sister knows keeps meowing. My sister also has him added on social media, where he sends random videos of farting, burping, or him saying stuff in a weird voice to all his contacts of people his age?

Is this just typical teenage boy behavior? I didn’t talk to many boys at that age, nor were they American/English-speaking boys so I don’t know.

I’m a bit confused, mainly because I’ve never been told this before. I once was trying to talk to someone I met, and asked them questions about themselves to get to know them.

After a while, they just said, “You don’t have to do this, you know. I’m fine with being silent.”

How would you respond to this? I don’t really know the implications or anything.

I was told quite recently that I had an English nose. What does this imply?

It seems that the LGBT ones we got are for news and I don’t want to post random stuff about for example, my boyfriend, on a news community.

My 14-year-old sister Lena has made a friend who is constantly picking on Lena for the slightest things, calling her weird, screaming at her in social situations and in athletics, saying she is useless, etc. [my sister has mobility issues and asthma as well]

Fortunately, Lena told me that she and another friend of hers stopped hanging out with the friend but the teachers still want her paired up with this girl? (No one else will hang out with Lena’s friend because her friend group is preppy and very cliquey)

The friend is also doing the classic “You can’t be friends with those girls and leave me, they don’t like you/understand you like I do. I’m the only one who will accept you.”

Yeah, I don’t really know how to help as I don’t go to her school and I’m obviously several years older than her

I’m still fairly young and hear many women my age making certain references, using slang, or memes related to the U.S. and American culture.

Sometimes, I don’t understand the references though, as I do speak English but grew up where people did not.

My parents grew up in the US and speak English but of course, only really know the pop culture of their day.

Does anyone else (especially people who grew up somewhere else) not understand Anglophone slang or pop culture?

I don’t mean morally wrong, I know that sexuality is a spectrum, that everyone is different, and I shouldn’t let anyone tell me how to describe myself, I mean wrong terminology.

Like how a man who’s attracted to other men wouldn’t call himself straight for example.

I’m certainly not straight, even if there’s one woman I’ve ever liked and the rest were men, I still liked a girl.

I would definitely date regardless of gender but only one women has really been attractive to me. Although I’d date and love regardless, other genders don’t really give me the spark men do.

If I dated a man who transitioned to nonbinary or transfem, I would still love them regardless and wouldn’t lose my interest in him.

I consider myself attracted to women maybe ~5% of the time, 95% other genders (most of the 95% is male but IDK the exact percentage on that part)

Would omni/bi be a better description?
