That’s not good
It seems that the best thing about being asexual is being assured how young you are.

AND being told not to worry, because "you'll find the right one at some point, you're still young and you've got plenty of time for new experiences"...

“You just haven’t met THE one yet” “you’re just a late bloomer” “it’s ok, you just know how to prioritize your studies above sex”

At a certain age, it's the other way around. Then, people will reassure you that that's completely normal for "older folks". Or after childbirth. Or in a long-term relationship.
I feel I don't owe anyone, including my mom an explanation! I have the right to be who I am! People really don't care about you that much anyway.
Cool ❤️

Yeah. My parents said that and woke up to 3 sliced tires the next day before work. >:) I am 18 years old now.
Well, there goes their argument for "only ugly/unattractive people are asexual because no one wants them anyway.😁" Hard being in the minority.

Hi, The Childline helpline is there to support anyone under the age of 19 who needs support. As this space is not private or confidential, we can’t provide direct help here but you can talk confidentially to a Childline counsellor on our free 24-hr helpline 0800 1111 or visit childline.org.uk/get-support/ to talk to us online. Most calls to Childline are confidential but if you need to know more about what we can’t keep confidential, have a look here childline.org.uk/about/confidentiality-promise/ .

@@childline you need a texting service. Most counselling services have that these days. Kids feel safer and more able to express how they feel without pressure, via text message. Add the service. Other counselling services around the world have and there is a higher response with this service.
i do want to call childline but the thing is because of all of these stupid prankcalls i dont know how to talk

Hi, this page tells you about all the different ways to talk to Childline - www.childline.org.uk/get-support/. There's a video too. As well as calling, you can talk online in chat and through email. And no matter how you contact the counsellors, it's about saying how you feel and explaining things in a way that works for you. When you call, you'll hear a recorded message that gives you some different options and you can choose which number to press. If you choose the counsellor option, you will go through to talk to someone and they will start by saying hi, and ask you what you'd like to talk about. You can take it from there at your own pace and ask them any questions at all too.
