Don't. Falling in love shouldn't be your priority when you're still in school. There's no need to rush. You've probably got things that you want to accomplish, right? Maybe you want to be a doctor. Maybe you have a college that you want to go to that's far away from where you live. Realize that other kids have these aspirations too and if you do fa...... reply
Adults aren't always right, adults don't always know the answer, adults can and do take advantage of younger people. Don't be afraid to speak up if there's something going on that feels bad and wrong. Question everything everyone tells you and find facts to back it up to form your own opinions. It's okay to show emotion, be it anger, sadness, or fe...... 2 reply
I'm probably an awful human being because I am not too sure even though I myself have a mild disability (which gives me a pretty bad lazy eye, so I don't look very attractive). But you never know. There was one time where I thought this guy with a wheel chair was pretty cute, but then I realized he's rude and I don't like him. And another time I wa...... 1 reply

Hi! Here's my 2 cents: more than simply "loving yourself", life is about wholeheartedly embracing the parts of you that are unique and special, but working to improve on the parts of you that are a bit more rough and dark. Let me explain by painting you a portrait of my journey...... reply
I myself am disabled, and I've had a loving relationship for 7 years. My girlfriend loves me as I am. It does take some extra work sometimes, but it's not something that doesn't happen. Tbh I think anyone has the capability of falling in love with a disabled person, even if they were initially discriminatory towards us. Not all disabilities are vis...... reply
I'm going to be truthful here, but I probably wouldn't. I've never really dated anyone so I can't say for sure, thus why I put "probably". It's not a definite "no", but it's not a "yes" either.
The reason is probably not the disabled person themselves (for the most part), but how the relationship would even work. I'm not the type to go full ham-a...... reply
Stop leaving things to "fate". There's no such thing. Everything that happens, happens because of you and the choices you make. "If it's meant to be fate will bring us back together" NO STOP. If you love someone, if you want something, if you want to go somewhere work hard for it. It's not always going to work but you need to try to do something a...... 1 reply
Hm.. I'm 22, so not really that old. But still wanted to give in my 2c!
I'd say to someone younger that nothing is permanent.
I'm not saying to laugh tough things off, or say they arent a big deal, because thats just not true. But if I could tell my 15, or even 20 yr old self something. It'd be that no matter how hopeless a situation may feel, o...... reply
34 Years old here. My advice is... life is short and waits for no one. So even if you think on the future, don't just wait looking at your life happening. Enjoy the opportunities life brings to you and don't leave things for "later". If you have someone you hold dear, tell them. At my age you will probably have experienced already the loss of someo...... reply
