Pronouns???

Yeah, and since I moved to this side of the US during my childhood, I experienced racism for the first time. I am from California and actually never experienced it prior, at least not as a child. I am part Spanish, and look it. I was picked on in school here for "not being American", to "Hop back over the border", and many MANY other insults. It was a culture shock, and yes, it still hurts to think about the abuse children can levy at eachother. The trick is to not let it get to you as an adult, and I actually haven't personally experienced since childhood anyway. Yes, I am aware this is the pronoun thread, but the same concept applies.

You can't let a child think he's completly innocent when something bad happens, it's even worse as an adult. Even if he doesn't know, saying "it's not your fault you didn't know" is not pushing him to think by himself.
It's okay to fail, but always putting the blame on others is not a good thing. Even if you didn't do mutch wrong, sometimes you just have to look and you'll understand that you could have done something differently. You can't adjust and get stronger if you don't do that imo. Looking as my own mistakes was not always easy, i failed a lot. Even right now i think i could have done some things better.

And gender identity sucks, the more i think about it and the less i want to care. F*ck pronouns man xD

Aye yeah when I came back to NY it was a trip. I was born in NY but my parents moved to Spain when I was a child to care for my mom's mother. I lived in a bubble I legit never even knew the concept of race or even thought about.

Yet when I came back to the states I started getting picked on for how I looked. Oddly enough in when I lived in Spain I never felt different due to how I looked yet looking extremely different from most, yet once I came to the states it is like a fog was lifted all of sudden my appearance mattered. I did not fit in with either side of my upbringing.

Oddly enough being a black blonde Hair blue eyed child was weird at the time.

Either way as Churro mentioned it sucks but you cannot let it bother you as an adult. It is done in the past and also as an adult I have not experienced such issues cause I do not let me get it me. Sure people may still poke fun but no point letting it live rent free.
