Honestly I'd hit them with some research about not respecting their children's privacy infringes on your trust, personal feelings of safety, and privacy. Do some research and present them with a case. Show evidence in the form of printed research articles about it and highlight the professional advice to respect privacy. Lawyer it up. It would also......   reply

Mrm is myreadingmanga, which is basically exclusively a hentai/porn manga site. They have some typical yaoi manga (like with plot and not just straight up porn) but it is primarily porn and has a ton of disturbing content so highly recommend not stepping foot there lol When someone says a manga escaped mrm it means it is just straight up porn that......   reply

Early 30s here. I didn't start dating until 21 and even then it was just one person who I lucked out with and we've been together ever since. (Not religious I'm just weird and I found another weirdo who I really like!) So you don't need to date a ton of people you just gotta find someone you click with and that can be difficult. It doesn't mean the......   reply

Heyo - college writing teacher here. Any type of essay is an argument, and one of the most important things is the structure that demonstrates your argument clearly and provides lots of evidence and reasoning to support why you are the ideal candidate. Depending on the required length of the essay, identify 3 main points that support your argument ......   1 reply

It's escapism babe the problem isnt the yaoi its whatever stressful situation you are needing to avoid. Maybe med school isnt what you really want to do? Need to reflect on what youre using yaoi to run away from.   1 reply

Something helpful i learned in therapy is when i was having spiraling thoughts or obsessively thinking about something i was stressed or anxious about; recognizing the spiral or unhelpful thoughts and working to refocus on something else. Dont judge yourself for it (ugh im thinking about this again so stupid) but just bring awareness to the fact th......   1 reply

If you are specially looking for making friends with people who are more similar to you culturally, then definitely recommend exploring student organizations. There are student associations for like every race/ethnicity - for example, I am sure they have an Asian American Student Association. Even if you don't care about race/ethnicity, they likely......   reply

I've been reading bl/shipping m/m characters in anime, tv shows, and games since I was in middle school 20 years ago. I enjoy bl because, beyond the fantastic storytelling and opportunities to see multi-dimensional male characters who fight with their feelings, I have personal insecurities and reading or watching too much m/f makes me think about m......   reply

College teacher here. How you study also probably impacts your study anxiety. Did you used to just sit down and read, take notes, or annotate for hours? That isnt really a feasible type of studying long-term. You can burn out so quickly, even if you give yourself rest. I suspect you might have a fear of failure or something along those lines that m......   2 reply

Take physical notes when possible in lecture. Or study by handwriting the class notes you took on your computer. Writing notes from lecture is good for base knowledge but if you want to make it stick, reflect on the content. Paraphrase or summarize in your own words and try to make connections. For example, if there is a concept that has a lot of l......   4 reply

Hello, college teacher here who teaches on sex and gender. People think sex (female/male) is binary but it's not. Biological sex is made up of many factors including chronosomes, hormones, reproductive organs, etc. Its not that you either have xx chromones, vagina, uterus, and estrogen OR you have xy, testes, penis, and testosterone. We actually al......   1 reply

With any addiction it comes down to if you are avoiding life or other obligations and you can't do anything unless you get your fix. I strongly recommend the book Dopamine Nation by Anna Lembke. She is a therapist and writes about several different kinds of additions (from sex to drugs to romance novels) and what it means and how to manage. The ke......   1 reply

I have nothing to support this but i wonder if some of this stems in part of cringe culture. Because younger generations (specifically gen alpha and below) grew up on social media and with the threat of being recorded at any time, a lot of them are terrified of appearing "cringe" or being outted for any of their likes which is why there is so much ......   reply

Havent had experience very similar but I have basically ended up going no contact with my older sister because she is an extremeist conspiracy theorist and things got weird and tense with her. It really came down to a time where she freaked out on me for something completely unwarranted, but I apologized anyway. I told her how she hurt me, and she ......   reply

Finishing graduate school and trying to get a college teaching job but because my current governmental officials are actively trying to dismantle public education there are like no jobs so that's cool ╥﹏╥ feels like i just wasted 10 years of my life just to go back to working for minimum wage.

Rather than romanticize I think just being open to new experiences and keeping excitement about learning new things and meeting new people helps improve the overall college experience. College is all about learning what you don't know and expanding your horizons and trying new things even if they don't work out. Getting stuck in a mentality of "I h......   reply
