Hello, I'm a 15 year old girl so obviously I'm starting to explore my attraction boys (and girls) at this point in my life, but I need a bit of advice on a few questions that I have. So this first question could just be the effect of growing up with a father who's kind of racist, but I'm going to ask anyway: I'm a Caucasian girl, so is it strange for me to prefer people of other races over other white boys? I know that the not-so-playful teasing would be endless if I ever brought anything other than a Caucasian boy home. My second question: Is it unusual for me to like more than one person at a time? I'm not attracted to ALL the people at my school obviously, but is it strange to have 4 or 5 boys/girls that I would consider dating instead of being set on one or two people? Thanks a bunch! (link)
It's not strange at all to prefer other boys but if you're white try not to say anything rude like 'i prefer chocolate' or something

and also its not weird at all to like more than one person. they probably all have features u like and polyamory (being in love with multiple people) is always an option :)


People have been making a joke of it, saying that they think it's pointless of him to do it, because no man will find him sexually attractive at 65, despite him saying he's attracted to women, and people still being able to have love lives in their 60s. I find it offensive because people are basically saying the whole point of having a vagina is to be found sexually attractive by a man, and get fucked by a penis, when it's only a possibility, not something that needs to happen in order to justify having that organ. A sex change is a sex change. He can afford the best medical care, so people shouldn't see it differently for him to have one at 65 than if he had it at say, 20. (link)
People say this to all adult transgender people because the belief is that when you are a certain age your body is fully formed and cannot change.

Which is not true at all.


BACK STORY: I was with a boyfriend for many years, and I was on oral birth control (daily pills). Well, I suffered a burst ovary because of some sort of hormonal imbalance caused by the pills (don't use Micronor!) and was told that particular ovary may be 'gone' and not functional. About 2 months or so later we broke up (super stressful situation for unrelated reasons) and he moved out of town.

Approximately a month thereafter I was having severe lower abdomen pain and started a quick-onset super heavy period after not having it in the previous 3 months (it was becoming very irregular with spotting here and there around when it was supposed to arrive). I was informed by the clinic that it was probably because I had gone through extreme wight fluctuation (really skinny to larger, back to skinny and then bordering fat because of the hide-in-a-corner depression and then overeating), but they sent me for urine & blood tests just in case it was something else (cancer, heart disease and diabetes runs in my family). Since I was in a don't-eat-anything phase, I was able to immediately go to the lab, where they discovered that I was pregnant and sent me to an ultrasound clinic later that day. Basically within the 2-4 between my appointments my mind was racing trying to figure out how the heck I was going to get through this as 'dad' was now out of the picture, I was along and broke, about how much relief I felt that I was able to carry a child after my medical condition earlier that year, and how much I already loved it, and the stress of explaining this to my parents (i was 23 and live on my own, but am very close to my parents). I was once again confused/relieved/sad when the ultrasound tech told me that what I had experienced overnight (the whole reason why I went to the clinic) was very likely a miscarriage. Enter even more emotions of guilt, thinking it was my fault. I 'got over it' in about a month or so and didn't tell anyone, basically tried to block it out. Well, like 8 months later the emotions came back as it would have been the approximate birth week. That was hard as hell. Until I went through the emotional trauma of exactly a year later and it killed me.

I am currently with someone new, whom I love very much, and we are in a very good place and moving forward. I was able to hide the emotion (or successfully blame it on something else) but I just keep getting super depressed despite my life being very happy right now every time I think about it, which is increasingly a lot because we are making future plans including marriage and family. We've talked about my concern of not being able to have children because my ovary issue, and he's been super sweet about it, but he doesn't know why it worries me so much...

I guess my question is, should I tell him about it? Is it relevant to our relationship if we are not trying to conceive any time soon? Is he entitled to know? Or can I keep this to myself forever? Or at least wait until if we even do encounter conception problems? I am just confused and sad and can't think rationally. (link)
yes to talk about it, because if you talk about it now it could stop a possible breakdown in the future. and he will probably be more likely to not bother you over an issue he KNOWS you are senstitive over.


One my friends is moving away and I want to write her a goodbye letter. I honestly don't know what to say. What are somethings that I can say to her? I also have a crush on her soo
I'm a girl btw. (link)
in the letter you could probably ask her to visit again or ask her out?
i dont know if you want to go forth with the relationship and tell her you have a crush but if you do you can say to her something like 'if you ever need a girlfriend, i'm here' or something like that.


My ancestral country was supposedly colonized by Germany in the late 1800s. I always wondered about my surname. Neither my parents, grandparents, nor other people more versed in my ancestral language could determine its meaning. It's pretty rare even within that country, the only people that have are directly related to me, through my father's father. Keep in mind that polygamy was also more practiced back then, so I have quite a number of half-cousins (2nd, 3rd, etc). My dad said that his dad chose that name, though, which is why I thought it was African, but it doesn't seem to be, after searching for it on Ancestry.com and seeing a few people from Austria with that name on U.S. census reports from the 1800s. I'm related to African royalty on both my mother and father's side, and thus am able to trace those lines back a number of generations. But on my mother's side, both my grandparents have African surnames, but on my father's side, my grandmother has a maiden name that originates in England, and my grandfather, like I said, Austria. Did colonizers just offer these names to people? How did that work? Why would that particular grandfather be attached to that Austrian name? My dad said surnames weren't really a thing til sometime in the 1900s. I'm doing the AncestryDNA test to see how my DNA relates with other parts of Africa, and assuming I have no European ancestry, is it normal that Africans adopted European names like that, even Austrian ones? I mean looks wise, people in my family vary but that's common in Africa, you never know if it's just due to the diversity of African genes or some kind of Arab admixture. If you know anything relating to this, I'd appreciate it (link)
this could have been a forced change, like the way immigrants to the us have their names changed.

it could have been a legal change someone in the family decided to make.

names have really weird origins, like european Latin@ people have spanish names
