So in a couple of days school is going to start again and I'm kinda freaking out. At the end of 7th grade I came out to my parents as trans FTM and I spent the 8th grade as a girl so everyone knows that I'm a girl. Recently I got a binder which makes me feel better and I am planning on wearing it to school but I'm pretty sure people will notice that my chest is flatter this year, even though I'm normally quite small. Also using the girls locker room to change for gym makes me feel very uncomfortable. My question is since I'm not out to anyone at school, would this be a good way to come out to the other students and the teachers. My mom even asked me if I would want her to talk to the school about my gender. Since there are a couple of trips happening this year and I would feel very uncomfortable if I was placed in a room with other girls maybe this would be a good idea. Any opinions?

Ok so I'm 14 and about a year ago I came out to my parents as trans FtM. My dad is having a hard time with it but my mom is more open since she let me get my hair cut short like a boy. Now when ever I go out, people think i'm a guy. But i REALLY hate wearing girl's underwear but I don't think my parents would be ready to buy me boxers just yet so how would I be able to get some without them knowing. Also my mom is very nosy and has gone through my drawers before so I wouldn't know where to hid them without her finding out. I have about 40$ or so of my own so I have money to buy them. So any advice on how to buy them and where to hide them? Thx

I am in a school band and during the summer they give us some pieces that we will be playing during the school year to practice. In one of the pieces, there are circled numbers in crescendoing order from 1 to 14 in little circles over the beginning of some measures. What do these mean?

Also, around the middle of the piece, the measures seem to divide in to two and on the bottom there rests and on the top there are notes but the size font that they are is much smaller than the font used in the rest of the piece. What does that mean and how would you play it?

Thanks.

P.S. I play trombone if that helps and the piece I am talking about is Prelude and Fugue by Bach.

So I'm in the 8th grade and I started writing poetry to get some stuff of my mind. I was wondering if my poems are any good. Here is one that I just finished:

My body is a battlefield

And I am being torn in two.

My mind is on one side but my heart is on the other.

Everyday I loose a bit of myself,

Trying to be who others want me to be

Not being who I am

One day it will stop

And I will show the world

Who I really am

Is it any good? Be honest

Thanks
