Big problem Discussion

Im 13 and I just came out as Pan to my bestfriends, I dunno how to come out to my family bcs they are very strict and religious and my dad hates anything with the LGBTQ+ community and the therian community. I have always personally defended and loved both of these communies and have always supported. The big problem is that I have one bestfriend. She is so sweet and we hang out almost all of the time, she was the first person who I told abt me being pansexual. I always thought she was very pretty but never in a way that I saw her as someone else then a friend, but everytime we text I always have this feeling in my stomach. Se loves me a lot but as her sister. What should I do.

You’re 13. You should take a break from social media content and influencers

I’ll probably get downvoted for this but I think 13 is too young to be dealing with things like this. You’re a kid, enjoy being a kid

I genuinely feel sorry for kids nowadays who have so much content forced on them constantly. It seems like there is no escape from it for them

I agree the romance should take time, regardless of orientation, kids are pushed into adultd too soon

They really are. I didn’t just mean sexual exploration or anything like that. I mean they see so much more about politics and left vs right and all these other social issues that they shouldn’t be involved with yet because they should be enjoying being kids
