The weirdest thing ever...

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 06:08:42 +0000

Ok, this is going to be a wild ride.

So yesterday night, the night of August 26th, when I was saying goodnight to my dad he lectured me about how my fan is ALWAYS on whenever I'm asleep.

So now, I'm like, okayyyy, does he want me to not use a fan that was literally a gift? And if he didn't mean that, what's him telling me "it's always on" going to help with? Like, you're not telling me to change anything, apart from not using it completely, which I most definitely will not do, because it's LITERALLY A GIFT?!?!

But, yesterday night, I did think maybe he doesn't want me to use it, which meant I was going to have to sleep without it.

Now, I don't know about you, but ever since I got that fan, I basically cannot sleep without it. The cooling down isn't even the most important part — it's the white noise. I genuinely have only slept like five or six nights without it ever since I got it.

Without the white noise, the slightest noise can make me feel scared. Like, if I drop my teddy, I FEEL SCARED. If something falls off my desk, I FEEL SCARED. If the door makes a sound, I FEEL SCARED.

You get the point.

So, because of all this, I wanted to sleep as late as possible, so that I was so sleepy I didn't care about the fan. So at about 11:30~ish I started cutting bits of paper into tiny pieces on top of my bed. Until it looked messy. For some reason I also contemplated cutting myself but thankfully I did not. I finally finished at around 12:30 am today, and the cleanup took around 15 minutes, until around 12:45 am. I finally got in bed at 12:48 am, but I take a long time to fall asleep, so I might have even been still awake by 1...

So the consequences of that.

I continued sleeping until 8:51 am today, when my alarm was 8:00. That's not really a big deal, since I'm still on holiday, but... fun fact...?

Should I...... (I'M BEGGING YOU ANYONE LITERALLY ANYONE)

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 11:47:15 +0000

So if you've seen my most recent post....

Do you think I should tell you about things that have happened to me?

It would be the first time I tell it to a kid (that's not my brother) and I need support.

I have so many bad experiences and I'd love to just get them out there.....

I thought about it and I'm sad.

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 11:39:49 +0000

Last year I had done something and I'd gotten in trouble so I was told to go to sleep at around 6 pm. So I did. But then I felt the need to pee but my dad had told me not to go anywhere so I guess you know what happened....

Long story short sheets had to be washed.

Also, I'm not saying this casually. I hate to admit it but when I was thinking about it a couple of hours ago at swimming I was crying a looooot (thank God for goggles) and I was screaming GET OUT OF MY LIFE!!!!! I HATE YOU!!!!! underwater....

I guess this is a trauma dump but I've gone through MUUUUUCH WORSE........

OMG OMG OMG I JUST CAME OUT

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 01:30:56 +0000

I just put a letter on a table explaining what a therian is, my pronous and that i am a therian!

I JUST ACCIDENTALLY CAME OUT TO MY SIBLING

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 02:06:54 +0000

So I was questioning coming out to my sister as a therian, so I wrote out a text message to see if I would actually want to do it and i didnt want to. So I was going to click the delete button but I hit the send button instead. And It turns out that .. she knew. Actually my whole family knew. They realize it when I started wearing a tail around them. I'm kinda embarrassed. Not for being a therian but just because I didn't know that they knew. :l

Have you seen youre dad cry?

I had a sleepover last night with my friend, and I wanted to watch Nimona. MY DAD said no, i looked it up, and it’s because there is a gay relationship, and someone is trans. Me, being non binary, makes me feel like I can’t tell him how I feel, and that he would hate me, even if he doesn’t want to admit it.

Hey Kidzsearch It's AGM13

I know right now you are busy trying to add Lilliana Ketchman videos to kidztube as my request, but once your done with that, I have another request for KidzTube.

So my dad has a YouTube channel, and me and my family go to different places sometimes as a video special, and he smokes on his grill to make different foods and try them on a Taste Review at the end. His channel is called Smo' King BBQ Tips & Recipes

Also, I don't know your rules for videos of me in them, but I'm the girl that is always in the videos, and I have a feeding tube, which is why I sometimes have to eat foods cut up.

Again, his channel is Smo' King BBQ Tips & Recipes. Thank You for choosing to add my dad's channel. It's family friendly, and my dad would by happy that I'm watching his videos on KidzTube.

Sat, 03 Sep 2022 00:36:43 +0000

Dad pinned me to the floor just because I broke a stress toy. is that child abuse? What should I do? How can I stop him from doing it again?

Yay!!!

My dad came home from the hospital today! We’re all so happy. Even though it might be a while before he can open the peanut butter jar, he’s getting much better and life will hopefully be back to normal(ish) soon.

Thanks for all your kind messages of support, they mean a lot :)

I dont think my step dad likes me

Mon, 13 Jul 2020 16:15:53 +0000

The reason I think this is because when ever one of my 3 other sisters do something bad he always blames it on me because I'm the oldest and should be watching them .he should be watching them not me .I kinda hurts because I don't have a dad and I was hoping he could fill that gap in side me.but I don't think that is going to happen

something scary happened today...

Tue, 07 Jul 2020 23:32:04 +0000

Today I was out all day playing with my friends and my little sister. I remember my dad having a headache and not feeling well then going for a lie down. I got annoyed at something or other my friend had done and came in for a while. I sat down and started a Duolingo French lesson.

My mum came downstairs in a hurry. She told me my dad was really not well and she had called an ambulance. She told me to go and find my sister, so I ran outside and down the street. I told my sister that dad wasn’t well and there were paramedics coming, and that she needed to come home right now. I was so worried and shocked that I couldn’t tell her properly, so she thought I was joking. We ran back to our house and went upstairs.

My dad was sitting on the bed. His speech was slurred and he couldn’t pronounce some consonants. He couldn’t move his right arm because it had gone all floppy. He also had a headache and felt weak. I was thinking that I knew these were symptoms of a stroke, and I mentioned that. I was panicking and thinking the worst, I started crying. My sister was smiling awkwardly and she didn’t seem to be that worried, but now I know that was just her way of getting through it.

My mum called our friends’ mum and asked if my sister and I could stay at theirs for a while. I didn’t know whether I should go or not, but I did in the end. My friend made us all smoothies and we sat and talked away from my sister and her friend. I cried again, it was tense and awkward but she was really nice about it and didn’t seem to mind. It was very odd because we had to stay 2 metres away from each other, but all we wanted to do was hug.

My friend and I went into another room, well ventilated of course, and we talked about random stuff. I made some bad jokes as humour is my defence mechanism, and it helped a bit. I felt guilty because I didn’t want to stop thinking about my dad, but I knew I would go into a downward spiral. Taking my mind off it helped a bit, but being happy and distracted made me nervous.

We ate tea at their house, I couldn’t eat much. We went outside afterwards and lit the outdoor fire. Then we made s’mores. They went totally out of their way to help us. My friend and I went inside again and watched some of a comedy show i like. My friends’ mum kept getting phone calls and text messages and I was constantly on edge that they would be terrible news. Eventually my mum came and picked me and my sister up and we came home.

My dad is currently in the hospital. He called us earlier and told us not to worry. His voice is back to normal now. They’re running checks and tests to see what happened. They think it’s something to do with migraines - our family gets really bad ones. It’s nearly half past midnight when I’m writing this. I know I should sleep, but I can’t. I’ll share updates when we get the diagnosis, and when he comes home.

Is it just me who wears dad jumpers?

Wed, 13 May 2020 18:55:45 +0000

I fit the same size clothes and shoes as my mum now so I’ve been stealing all of her stuff, she has nothing left to wear!! Then about 3 weeks ago I got super cold and my dad’s jumper (sweater if you’re American) was the only thing lying around so I put it on... it’s so ridiculously oversized it actually looks amazing and it’s sooooo cosy!! It’s like living in your own private hug! My dad was like “well this colour never really worked on me anyway” so I got to keep it yay :) now I am going to steal his socks as well heheheh

Am I the only one who does this?! XD

I accidentally came out to my dad!

Tue, 12 May 2020 18:29:51 +0000

So today I was struggling with my schoolwork a bit and my dad was helping me with it. He says, “you got feedback from your HE teacher on your food waste assignment,” so he opens up Microsoft Teams on his phone to find the assignment page to show me my grade.

*info for those who do not use Microsoft Teams: there is a section where you put a mini-bio on your account if you swipe sideways. Only the top couple of lines are visible unless you tap on it.*

He says, “oh yeah I meant to ask you about this...” and swipes sideways to the description and tapped on it.

*info about what my bio says: I put some stuff about my school friends and my favourite TV show to fill the first couple of lines so if my dad accidentally swiped and found the bio he wouldn’t see what I wrote next. What I wrote next was “Oh yeah, I’m LGBT+ (rainbow flag emoji) so if you’re homophobic please go away.”*

So my dad taps on my bio and shows that part to me. Then he just said, “what’s going on?” (I was sweating and shaking so hard at this point) and I said, “I’m bisexual.” (I nearly died of anxiety and terror).

My dad says, “Huh. Just so you know, that’s fine, I don’t mind if you’re gay or straight or whatever,” (I continue sweating and shaking because I know what he’s going to say next...) “but I don’t think you should be sharing that with your classmates and teachers. You’re a bit young to be thinking about all this, you’ve just got your period a few months ago and your hormones are going nuts so just give yourself time to figure everything out.” (Yup, knew he would say that.) Then he says, “I have no problem with it, but you’re only eleven. You might push your friends away a bit if you tell them all about your sexuality now, you’ve not known them for that long, only since September.” (Still shaking and sweating.)

Then he asks, “how do you know?” (The one question I cannot answer well in my trembling sweaty state). I say, “I just like them.” And my dad says, “As friends? Because you know that means for s*x right?” Of course I know this, but I don’t want to seem weird so I say, “I never really thought about that. I just like them.” My dad says, “who’s ‘them’? What does ‘like’ mean?” (I’m dying inside).

Then we had a long, awkward conversation about ‘liking’. (I just wanted to scream “I’m BI! What do you think it means?! Girls are pretty too! You should know, you’re a straight man! GRRR!”).

After the whole thing was over I was covered in cold, sticky sweat and still visibly shaking. I had to sit through another 45 minutes or so of my dad awkwardly watching me work. Now that I think about it, he probably knew and was waiting for me to confirm his suspicions. He probably told my mum as well. Oh flarf...

Well to sum it up: my dad outed me, he’s fine with it but thinks I’m too young, my mum probably knows too and I nearly died of dehydration from all the sweating and trembling. Sorry it was so long, I just had to get it out of my system and tell some people.

What should I do? Can you help please?! (before 9am GMT on 13th May, if possible?) Thanks for being so supportive :)

Help me, i am scared of my dad.

Tue, 11 Feb 2020 21:04:16 +0000

You all know me and who I am, and many of my closer friends here will probably guess who I am, but I don't want to post this on my account. Some things, just no.

So I am scared at home when my dad is there and not at work. And i hate the cigarette smoke. When he comes home he always comes home in a bad mood, complaining about everything to me and my mom, not caring about anyone else's problems. And then he lists about 5 chores for me to do per minute and I am trying to get them done without him yelling more. When he gets really mad at me he hurts me somehow. He has grabbed the back of my throat, slapped me hard enough for my glasses to bend, shoved me into a wall, ect. If I ever argue or have any opposing opinion at all he will yell and say my opinion does not matter and no one wants to hear it. One day right before heading out to go to school he was yelling and threw my hairbrush at the wall so hard I thought it broke. I left for school crying and running out of the house. Whenever there are rare situations where my mom leaves me with my dad and he does anything to me and yells more if I text my mom about it. I want to run a hide in my room and lock myself in when he is home. My mom and brother don't see it enough to know. My brother loves my dad because he never got to see him when he was younger because of his childhood, but I would honestly trade. Every time I cry, I am called a cry-baby. Every time I am mad I am a disrespectful child. Every time I am happy it doesn't last long. I just want to run away, maybe stay with my best friend. I would have... i would have run away one day when both my parents made me cry and my brother seemed to ignore it, but then when i was in my room my brother hugged me, and i cried then too, but it helped. What do i do? And talking to a therapist or school couslor is out of the question, i know what would happen if i told a counslor because they are mandatory reporters, any time somebody is being hurt, wants to hurt themselves, or hurt others they have to tell somebody that by law. I would get in trouble. I just want it to stop. I can't talk to him, I can't defend myself, I want to run, but I have no where to go but school.

Well, okay then...

Sun, 14 Apr 2019 20:29:37 +0000

My father vapes. You should know what that is, you can google it, or check out this link for results of what vaping is: http://search.kidzsearch.com/mobile/kzsearch.php?q=Vaping&aff=&subid=&oq=Vaping&v=mobile&app=ios-search#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=Vaping&gsc.page=1

__________

Anyway, my mother and my siblings and I hate it. Although he doesn't do it around us, we know it's damaging his health. He used to smoke, but quit for a while, then went to vaping e-cigarettes. I know it's as dangerous as smoking, and whenever me and my mum argue about it with my dad, he always says it's healthier when it's really destroying him inside!!!

Help me! What is some information about the subject? Please no links.

Awesome Picture my Dad took in the Netherlands!!!
