  • You ve discovered an alien society, how do you react?

    Maybe not space aliens, but let s say you suddenly appear on a strange island where everything (the people, culture, technology, etc.) is completely different. Maybe there are actual aliens, or werewolves or something. You ve come by yourself, and you don t have much with you, what do you do?

  • Part of my gums (between my teeth) seems loose, why?

    A week or so ago I burnt the roof of my mouth (right between and behind my two front teeth) eating food. It was a little sore and swollen but it was fine. A couple days later I was eating corn on the cob and it was really hot but I'm stupid so I ate it without letting it cool down, and I burnt the already-burnt spot even worse. It was really painful, and really swollen, so I didn't touch it and I was careful eating.

    Anyways I have a gap between my two front teeth. It's healed now and it doesn't hurt, but I can pull that piece of gum down from between my teeth now and it's kind of freaking me out. Like I said, there's no pain, but it's annoying and I'm worried. I did a Google search and I got a bunch of results of gum disease, but this didn't happen until I stupidly burnt the **** out of my mouth, and I brush my teeth twice a day and try to floss once a week, so do I need to worry about having gum disease?

  • Am I pansexual?

    I thought that I was a lesbian. I am attracted to the female body, but I am also attracted to masculine girls, as well as non-binary genders, such as agender or genderfluid. I feel that I am attracted to both cis and trans women, and trans men, BUT I am not romantically attracted or overly sexually attracted to cisgendered males. At the same time, I'm curious and want to try sex with one. I feel that I would be comfortable being with a transgender man, even if they had surgery. Essentially, I'm attracted to all genitalia (testicles are kinda ****** weird though not gonna lie) and all people, excluding cis men for the most part.

  • I'm a lesbian and my girlfriend just came out as gender fluid. I'm conflicted — help?

    I can't imagine my life without her. She means so so much to me and this change has stressed me out so much that I've actually become physically sick. I like that she is androgynous. It is very attractive to me. She cut her hair short and she's strong and she has a lot of tattoos and piercings, and she's never been very feminine while I've been with her. I think she looks absolutely stunning in heels and a blouse but I love her just as much with her new look.

    She just came out as gender fluid, meaning she is no longer a she. She's a they, she isn't my girlfriend. She's my partner. I'm okay with that — I would rather call her my girlfriend but it's not a big deal. I'm just scared because she's told me I have to decide whether or not I'll still love her if she binds her chest or, in the future, starts taking testosterone. I really don't know how I'd feel about that… I love her voice, it's soothing, and I don't want it to change. I am a lesbian, and this isn't fair for either of us. She can't ask me to enjoy something I don't enjoy, and I can't tell her not to be herself. She says she's pretty sure she'll never want to take testosterone, but she's thought about it. She tells me that from my reaction she feels she is not getting support and she feels like a burden, and I feel terrible. I love her, but this change is really hard for me to get used to.

    PLEASE somebody talk to me. I'm sick with the flu and these severe levels of stress are taking a toll on me.

  • If I were to try and become a successful Youtuber, what would I do for my first video?

    I m 16, turning 17 in the spring, I m a lesbian, I m (apparently) attractive and may have a good sense of humour. I also like to play video games and make art, but I m mostly interested in vlogging. I ve always wanted to be a Youtuber but I knew I d have been too immature before now, because I never really enjoyed watching young vloggers attempt to be funny. I don t have a great camera but I have an iPhone 5. Could I make it? Should I? How?

  • I'm writing a circus-themed fantasy. Ideas for a plot?

    I have every aspect of the short story written out (theme, character, style, etc.) but no actual plot. If you're confused, think about The Night Circus (I had a bit of a plot but then I discovered this story and now I have to rewrite it because they're too similar).

    Here are the basic details :)

    A woman finds a misplaced ticket to the circus in town.

    The circus is magical, and there is also a magical parade.

    The Ringleader is a major character. He is a magician, and his partner is a contortionist.

    I really like the idea of The Night Circus! Two magicians competing against one another... but I can't use that idea. Any ideas at all will help! Thank you.

  • How the hell am I supposed to avoid/get rid of acne scars?

    It seems inevitable to me. People tell me to just not pop them, but how is that reasonable? I'm just supposed to walk around with them on my face? Not only are they very irritable, but they look horrific — and so do these scars. I don't understand. What am I supposed to do? My lower face is covered in blemishes, and now I am getting actual permanent scars (those little indented ones). I'm under so much stress lately that my acne has become much worse than usual, and that's only making things worse. It's also making me hate myself. Help!

  • I am struggling developing a certain aspect of a character. Any tips?

    She s woken up in a strange new society (possibly an alternate timeline or reality) and she s been convicted for a crime she doesn t remember committing. In this society, criminals are trained as guardians of the city (imagine a legal vigilante). I m having difficulty putting her in this position; she is young and accustomed to a modern 1st world life. Any suggestions or ideas on how this would affect her?

  • My friend is severely depressed and will not take medication?

    He has been for over a year now and he has even been to therapy but he claims that the therapy sessions do no good and he says he would rather commit suicide than take the pills.

  • Is the progression of the plot in my story too blunt?

    Basically, by chapter two, the main character has traveled 800 years into the future. This is good because at first the readers think the story is about this girl in BC discovering she has supernatural powers (time travel/teleporting) and then having to adjust to this lifestyle, but the story is about her having to adjust to being a convicted mercenary in a futuristic/fantastical setting.

    I'm struggling on how the protagonist should react. She goes from her mother's death to time travelling centuries into the future within mere days. I know this probably isn't enough time to recover from the death of her mother, but at the same time, I can't bore the readers with her grieving, and I can't break the flow of action with occasional bursts of depression.

    So, how might I make the pace of progression realistic? How could I demonstrate her emotional distress without upsetting the course of things? Is this too blunt?

  • What is crime like in Toronto City?

    I live in New Brunswick, Canada, and I've never visited Toronto so I wouldn't know; what's crime like in Toronto? I'm writing s story that takes place in Toronto, and my main character goes out late at night and is mugged by a man with a gun.

    I need to know; is this likely to happen? She is not in any particularly bad side of town, and; is there a specific area of Toronto referred to as the "bad side of town" (I've heard both North side and Jane St., but I wouldn't know).

    Thank you!

  • A cute boy is interested in me but I'm a lesbian.. what should I do?

    I'm not out of the closet yet so I don't want to just say "I'm gay, sorry" because I don't trust him to not tell anybody else (even though I want to come out soon, I'm just waiting for the right time). On the other hand, I can't just say "don't talk to me," he's really nice and we go to the same school so I don't want to be mean but I'm not exactly sure what to say?

    Rn we are messaging each other and he is hanging out with his friends. What should I do?

  • Is this name too strange for my protagonist?

    Her name is Allyzon. Obviously this is very similar to Allison - but, like, with a Z. I know the name is a little strange (I came up with the name when I was a kid). The name would be weird for a human, but the character is extraterrestrial.

    Changing the name to Allison just seems super weird to me. Opinions? Suggestions?

  • My dad fell asleep and he's alive but he won't wake up?

    We're both sick and fatigued sort of. He sat down in his chair and fell asleep and no matter what I do he won't wake up! He is moving occasionally (like adjusting) but he has a big frown on his face. I thought he was just playing around but he won't wake up what do I do?

  • What do you think about the name Valkyrie?

    I'm not having a child anytime soon but I read some other articles about it and apparently people don't like it that much. I don't know why though! I think it is the most beautiful name in the world, and I've always really liked unique names like that. I think V names are really pretty, like Vanessa or Victoria. And the meaning of Valkyrie is cool too, and it's also the name of my favourite book character.

    I don't understand, though, why anybody would make fun of somebody for a name (except for that one kid who got stuck with the name Hashtag :/ haha). Does Valkyrie sound like a stripper name or something? I think it's pretty.
