Lmao I was sad for OP before realizing this was Europe and “exchange student” to them is closer than the college I deliberately picked to be close to home

Edit: totally just realized that it’s not France/Germany, it’s Canada and Germany but they’re in French class which makes so much sense. I said a dumb thing

Oh my god, I've seen somebody do that before in person and it was somehow one of the most humiliating experiences of my life. I know how sheltered that sounds but seriously it wasn't even me who asked the lady and I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. I didn't even know the dude who asked.

Honestly, it's like one of my greatest social fears. I basically never comment on anything physical regarding another human being out of the overly-paranoid fear I'll do something like this lmao

Generally a fear of locker room nudity boils down to 1 of 2 issues: fear of being judged (low self-esteem or body image), or fear of someone "losing control" at the sight of you (homophobia).

So you either are afraid of someone sexually assaulting you, or you think your penis is tiny. Either way, here's a secret: No one cares. Just don't go swinging your junk in someone's face.

No offense but I think you are kind of putting this whole thing on a pedestal and overly fantasizing about it because "waiting your whole life" isn't that long when you hit puberty in the past like 3-4 years lol

If you guys are meant to be it'll happen no matter what and you won't lose touch if there's really something there. I liked a guy and we lost touch, ten years went past us, we reconnected and we're married now.

I met my husband on a ship on which he was working. It was challenging bc not only was he out of the country, he was out at sea and I never knew where he was going to be and when. But I knew I would regret it if I never tried to see what there was between us. Now we've been married for over 18 years, so, where there is a will, there is a way.

Had CPR training recently as a high school graduation requirement and the instructor did say that not breaking ribs probably means you're not using enough force to get blood flowing through the body, although this varies from person to person. 2 inches is how far you have to press down (hence why ribs may be broken)

You wouldn't listen to me if we were friends in real life for the last 10 years, so you damn sure ain't going to listen to me since I'm a stranger on the internet. That being said....

You will get over it. It's high school. Pretty much nobody meets the love of their actual life in high school. It just doesn't happen. It sucks now, it hurts, many of us have been there and we will all tell you that you will get over it and it will get better.
