Underage Straddlers (in lieu of an inevitably more creative name) 12 years, 4 months ago
Hello you wonderful people! I’m 16, so I’m technically no longer underage in my UK motherland, but I still feel like I belong here.

So how about that brainstorming for gay-straight alliance activities? I just started my school’s, and we need stuff to DO.
-
I’ve been wanting to start one at my school, but I don’t know how
-
try talking to your principal and/or assistant principals about it. i don’t know how it works for other schools, but we have a REALLY active student club life over here, so it often boils down to simply filling out a few forms and finding a teacher to be the club’s advisor. oftentimes, i find it helpful to simply track down the biggest names and…[Read more]

our GSA does a lot of activites re: social activism, so perhaps i can help you out here! we’re actually visiting all of our health classes this month to talk about what it’s like to be young and queer, gay bullying, etc. etc. we visited all the social studies classes for the day of silence as well. i also highly recommend looking into LGBTQ…[Read more]
-
Those all sound like really good ideas that I’ll have to keep in mind for next year! We made ours this year and were just focusing on establishing its presence first before doing community outreach stuff next year.
-
in that case, i recommend school fundraisers. if you can get permission, try holding a series of miniature fundraisers- from selling baked goods to donation boxes (to the LGBTQ charity of your choice, most likely), or even do something bigger- paint a mural in your school, have an assembly to raise awareness of some GSA-related cause, so on. we…[Read more]

We had a club day, too! And a surprisingly large amount of people signed up, but the activity dwindled after the first month or two and I’m pretty sure a good 50% never showed up at all, partially out of fear, I think. Clubs at my school are allowed a maximum of three fundraisers a year, I think. One advantage we have over other clubs is that we…[Read more]

This year, we did a fundraiser for AIDS Walk, Day of Silence, Night of Noise, No Name Calling Week, sold LGBT related tshirts and had “movie nights for human rights”. We’d show two movies at school that were generally related to human rights and people would donate to the club. We’ve also done things for LGBT history month and spread awareness…[Read more]

any college-bound straddlers here? 18, going to binghamton university in the fall!
-
hollah I’m going to Boston University this fall! This last part of the year is just cruel.
-
oooh, nice- i’ve heard it’s gorgeous there! and amen to that- it’s terrible trying to make myself care about high school when there’s only a few months left…
-
-
Well I’m not college bound, since I just finished my freshman year at uni, I’m 19 so still a teenager :P Preach gurl, senioritis sucks just as much in college as it does in high school
-
awh, still counts! terrified of how much of a slacker i’ll be at uni- it’s easy to blame it on senioritis now, but honestly, i’m just ridiculously prone to procrastination. but hey, at least you’ve made it through the first year intact!
-
-
Georgia Tech this fall.
-
congrats! any idea of which major you want to study?
-
-
yeah! 3 months what, so crazy/soon. i’m going to bennington college in the fall.

I’m 17, and you used the word “in lieu of”, like I had a choice to join or not!
Let us talk and be buddies. And whatnot.-
Hi, how are you? I’m Kiera, by the way.
-
Hi, Im fine. Just about to run out to watch my schools show choir perform. How’re you? I’m Lauren, by the bi. (eh? Eh? get it?)
-
I wish my school had a show choir! I’m okay. I’m supposed to be studying for a stats test tomorrow (I’m not taking the ap one thank god), but I’m procrastinating instead :D
Also, puns make me smile :) I’m bi too, but I’m still working on coming to terms with it. What’s your favourite book?-
Yeah, we’re pretty cool…haha not really we just like to have something to do.
I don’t have any APs this year but next year I have three of them. Dear god.
When did the coming to terms start? How’re you doing with it?
My favourite book is Good Benito by Alan Lightman.
Personal message me? Or be friendies? Or both?

Hello! I would just like to say that while you have a mind of an 80 year-old woman, I have a time-traveling soul of a person named Mr. Cal Jones, who is usually around 56 or so but can change depending on his mood. This confirms that we are both a little odd and should be friends. :O My name is Kim, nice to meet you!
-
Well good for Cal Jones!!
Confirms that we are a bit more than a little odd though dear C:
Yay for friends! Hi Kim! I’m Lauren. Nicknames as you will.-
But what would we be if not for this oddness? I embrace it.
How’s being an underage bi in Wisconsin going for you?
-
Um..Lonely. Very lonely. And misunderstood. Full of teen angst. ANGST ANGST ANGST. But really not that bad, no one shoves me into things or whatever…I only have the problem when I don’t like someone who happens to be a girl and they tell people that I don’t like them because “Oh my god, she just like doesn’t like me beacuse I’m not like, like,…[Read more]
-
Hi Kim! I’m Kiera! I would agree that you like very very good music XD May I be friends with you as well?
-
Lauren: D: Well, we won’t be underage for THAT much longer, and there’s college coming up in a little while, so yay? It’s one of my pet peeves when girls assume that you like them JUST BECAUSE THEY’RE A GIRL. I always want to point out that 1. THEY don’t like every guy ever. 2. Yeah, no thanks, sorry. :|
I’m actually pretty lucky. My school’s…[Read more]

Also: YOUR TASTE IN MOVIES. Let the Right One In! 500 Days of Summer! DR. HORRIBLE.
DID YOU HEAR THERE WAS GOING TO BE A SEQUEL? JOSS WHEDON SAID SO IN AN INTERVIEW SOMEWHERE.
-
I KNOW! My best friend posted the article on my facebook wall XD
-
I am partially horrified and anxious as to how it could turn out, but then I remember that it’s Joss Whedon and NPH and I calm a little. What’re your thoughts on it?
-
I’m having some confusion as to whether Felicia Day will be involved or not. Joss mentioned her, but…yeah.

This is such an awesome idea! And I like how a bunch of us are united in the AP horrors this month.
-
I’m glad you like us! How many APs are you taking, short one? (I think we need a group for short girls, srsly. 4’11″6″‘ over here! (Is that 6″‘ a thing? I wasn’t sure/didn’t want to put .5. It’s probs a thing, like double parentheses))
-
I’ve got 3 this year and god knows that I’ve signed up for next year. Only one more to go tomorrow morning, and it should be my best one! AP Lang! Also, I am in total support of the short girls group!
-
-
ahhh, tell me about it! just finished my last AP (forever!) yesterday, and it feels like a bigger relief than getting into college. terrible.
-
Yesterday, so it was Gov? Finishing APs forever is a bit like someone destroying half your academic worries forever.
-
-
oh, and speaking of APs, this seems relevant to all of our feelings: http://fyeahapcrocodile.tumblr.com/

The entire tumblr has been my life for the past few weeks. I just shared this on facebook because it’s just too perfect.

^^ Ohmygod that is perfect. The ap chemistry one sums up my life exactly

Sarcastic yet empathetic crocodiles are my favorite. The APUSH ones sum up my life completely.
