Hello, Natalie!

Welcome to the Playground!

I won't give you my story to read 'cause I'm not that young...lol

Hey, let me fix you up with some hot coco and a warm plate of Sally's cookies.

You can sit over here and get comfy.....OK?

Now, let me ask you to please take a look at the forum rules...you'll find a link at the top of most pages!

And, we moderate this site to keep it safe!

So, just kick back and relax and some of the others will be right by to say "Hi"....

It's nice to have you!

HUGGS!

Young people! YOUNG PEOPLE! Dang!

Seriously, I know what you mean. 'Young people' are my favorites here on Lauras' - I suppose because they have so many knotty problems - so much to overcome - and they are not yet fully empowered to do what needs to be done.

Empowerment comes with coming of age - being able to legally make your own decisions but then? No real disposable income? A fancy name to being just plain broke most of the time! Or still at the mercy of parents! Or paying through the wazzoo for all those schooling expenses!

So yes - young people have very good prospects - and the trans among them have a wonderful opportunity to transition early and with spectcular results. It's a bright future - well... on the surface. Yet sometimes underneath is dispair, and depression, and just a general inexperience with setbacks. The young are the most likely of all the spectrum to self destroy or self-injure themselves. Add peer pressure, parental badgering, issues of puberty, social interaction requirements, and 'educational' or' learning to work' pressures? WOW

Brave young generation - you young trans and otherwise gender dysphoric people! I admire you so much. AND you take care of your own - wise advice - even down to the base of 13 years old - I am ALWAYS astounded!

GO GO GO

ooooops

and Natalie - from Germany - hey! WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME! Check out our young people's stories.

One of the things that they will ask you is if you read the rules.
