The Mystical, Magical, Fantastical Adventures of ArtemisArt

Hey there,

You're right; there are so many injustices in the world, and when we really think about it, they often come down to the most ridiculous factors, like where we are from, the way we look, how much money we have, and even our skin colour as you said. It sounds like the kids in your class aren't treating you very nicely, as well as your friend at youth group. I'm wondering, have you both spoken to the adults in charge there about what's going on? They will be able to help you out. 

Also, I totally get what you're saying about being tired of hiding who you are. Can I ask, when you say that you will be putting yourself in danger if you don't hide who you are, are you able to tell me a little bit more about this?

I come from a very Republican city that as a whole is not very supportive and that is having an increasing crime rate so I get nervous if the topic is brought up in public 

Hey Saphira,

Thank you for telling me that. So, by talking revealing this part of yourself, what do you think then might happen? 

I don’t know but I am already treated as an outcast for the other things I love ( reptiles books fantasy ) that I am scared to say anything else about me 

Hey there,

Sorry to hear that you are being treated as an outcast for the things you like. I'm wondering, is there anywhere at the moment where you aren't treated this way? If so, how does it feel when you're in that space?

during the play becuse all of the other kids do it for fall sport credit but I do it becuse I love to do it and end up careing the whole play

Hey there,

Oh, that's great! I think that when we feel like an outcast, it's even more important to spend more time in environments where we feel like we belong. I'm wondering, are you able to spend more time doing that? Also, is there anywhere else where you feel welcome?  

 

well I used to feel like that at youth group but some really rude things were said last night directed at my partner, two of our freinds and I that had my partner in tears

Hey there,

I'm sorry to hear that there was a negative experience last night. Would you like to tell me a little bit more about what happened?

i completely agree

for me, most boys never imagine themselves in a bestie relationship with a girl

weird no?

 

I totally agree @Nikita my best friend is a guy, it is totally strange that most people see it as weird, and as a month ago he has been my only best friend ( as I am now dating my other best friend )
