So basically I’m in high school and have a tendency to get bullied for things I can’t control (I’m transgender mtf), most of the classes and social groups are falling apart and so is my protective group of people, due to the particular quirks of the German school system. Since I’ll be moving in closer proximity with some guys that I had, have and or will have trouble with, I am looking for ways to gain their respect (it would also suffice if they avoided me or better yet disappeared). Here comes the important part Think back to your teenage self (if you’re not that rn), what are qualities that you respect or that make you think someone is nice? If it helps, I do look like a girl (according to other people) and I do look pretty (also according to other people, as part of my mental illness, I can’t really see that in the mirror)
