Hi! Switching to Lemmy and hoping to help revive this community!
Been a lurker on Lemmy for a while while mainly using Reddit. I'm still on Reddit, but not a whole lot because of time limits. Also, if I get caught on it, my dad will realise he forgot to ban it on my phone.
Anyway, to start conversation, we could all introduce ourselves in the comments ig? So we can get to know each other better or smth
Feeling sad
Next year would be my last year as a teenager. I feel sad that I did not have any experience in my life that makes my teenage life worthy. I got more depressed, more lonely. I knew some things but I lack the ability to prove them and remembering them exactly. I heard a lot of things but cannot identify which to trust. I have no friends. I have no money. Living with my shitty parents. Some years ago, I embraced my LGBTQ+ identity and also my atheist identity but I hide all of this in real life. I have some political stances that makes me left out in many online spaces too. I am confused, sad, alone, always having fire in me along with contradictory thoughts like I wanna be beautiful but why does it matter. I wanna be famous but why does it matter. If I don't pursue them, it feels like I am killing some part of myself. I feel I have something to speak but amount of silence I have caused me a low voice and can't even speak clearly in real life. I feel like I am special but moment I try to implement something, I feel like I am not. From many years, my problem has been same. I have been seeking something but I don't know what and also fearing from achieving that. I don't know myself or maybe I know but run away from it. There is a plethora of feelings I have that makes me overwhelmed and sad. I hear answers, tryna implement them, after some time, I still get same condition. It seems that either I started to like what I used to hate or maybe something else is the problem.
Youth Oppression in an Age of Decline
I’d be interested to hear some teenage perspectives on the articles specifically about youth.

How do I complete assignments faster
There's no community for school so I thought I'd ask here
Basically at my school we don't have much homework and we do almost all the assignments/projects in class. But I'm so slow that I can't possibly complete whatever we have to do in only 20-45 minutes, so I have to continue at home. But sometimes we can't do that and have to turn in at the end of the class, and by then I've only barely started. I seem to work more efficiently at home though (or at least I feel like I'm working more efficiently).
Does anyone have any advice/tips to help mitigate this? Tia
The one type of girl classmate I happen to have every year
Idk whether to post this in Rant or here since I’m sure you guys can relate… maybe
😓
laughs at boys’ jokes but not the girls
“Ahahaa!! You’re so funny! 😆” if a boy says anything
Just stares at the girl “Do you see me laughing?”
Makes fun of other girls for being bad at sports but tells the guys “at least you tried”
Thinks she’s better at sports than any other girl but is actually just as bad or worse
Thinks she’s the best student
Sucks up to teachers
Bosses students around
“Not now, I’m busy”!
“Don’t talk while the teacher’s talking!” (The teacher probably said they had time to talk to the classmate next to them)
“Autism is so silly!” “I would like to be disabled”
Sighhh

Hey guys. I've just started ditching most forms of corporate social media. I'm trying to decide if I need a lemmy account or not.
