Hello(:

[Guest Vladmir]

Hello everyone,

I'm really nervous right now..

But I'm going to try and supress that and just introduce myself(:

I'm Vlad and I'm 15 years old.

I'm a transgender; I was born a female..

And up until recently I thought I was mentally ill.

Because of a constant unsettled feeling and I'm constantly feeling misplaced.. Which was brought on my my constant thoughts that I'm a male stuck in a females body.

Since I was a little 'girl' I've.. just wanted to be a boy. I can look at myself and SEE myself as a boy.

And. I've never told anyone about this - I'm. Terrified of how my friends would see me.. Or how my parents react.. They're very intolerant of things like this.

I've told one person about this, and it was someone who is also Transgender; They are the reason I've found this site also (:

And a fun fact! I'm dating a very homophobic boy.

And hopefully during the next few years I can really start being myself(:

And. I'm going to quit typing because I feel like this is too long.

Sorry!

Hi Vlad,

It wasn't too long at all.

Come on in and have a seat, I have something that most of the guys here seem to like, Hot pizza and cold drinks!

You have just found the friendliest place on Earth.

Don't be afraid to post or ask questions we are all here to support each other.

Welcome to the family.

Love ya,

I look forward to getting to know other people who are going through similar situations...

And getting my overflowing pocket of questions answered (:

Hi, Vlad, and welcome to Laura's.

I understand completely being nervous and shy at first. It's a huge step to take. You made

the right decision to seek us out. This is a safe place to be. We keep out all the evil folks

and monitor everything that goes on. There are Forums and chat rooms just for teens.

We have many teens who share your feelings and needs. They will be along any time now to

offer their welcomes too. Please check everything out, and when you feel more at home,

please post in the teen forums and join the chat discussions, learn and have fun.

Welcome to a great place.

Wow.

I actually started crying.

The Playground.. Is already becoming one of the best things that has happened in a while.

This, I have deemed as my first stepping stone into a new light.
