- An older adult solely hanging with younger teens (I’m talking 25yo & 15yo) and who doesn’t seem to have any other adult friend is a red flag.

- An older adult talking to a younger teen and saying stuff like “you’re the only one who understands me” “I’d hurt myself if you weren’t there” “You’re my only friend” is a red flag.

- Someone (regardless of age) who constantly ends up in discourse & drama is a red flag.

- If you’re afraid to talk to your friend(s), if you feel like you’ve got to tiptoe as to not set them off and get yelled at/ostracized/worse, that’s a red flag.

Sadly it’s me again, while my last post when really well it still died right when we were 160$ short of the goal and I just barely scraped by enough to pay rent on time but sadly it put me in the red and I was hit with a insufficient funds charge yesterday. I’m trying to get out of the red before I accrue anymore debt as well as pay my utilities bills and do laundry which I’ve been putting off but can’t anymore. I’m still unemployed after being laid off again last month and am waiting to receive unemployment as I’m not sure when I’ll be able to find work again.

My electric is 40$

Gas is 40$

Internet is 80$

Laundry is 25$ (I have to use a service it’s currently not safe to use the laundromat in my area after a shooting 2 days ago)

And $12 for renters insurance.

In total all i’m trying to raise this time is

$320

i feel sad and im sorry to do this again but i am poor and i need help 😵‍💫

summary: i am a nonbinary lesbian of color (pakistan) who recently graduated from college, and a couple weeks ago i was forced to come out about my sexuality and relationship w my partner to my muslim parents as they invaded my privacy and my own home. they both are both in denial and said they will help me get “fixed” currently I don’t know what that means and I’m fearing for both my safety and mental health if I continue to stay here in Chicago.

Luckily, my partner and i have found a place in Phoenix with our other friend but I need some funds like bills and groceries to finish up the rent at my place (I currently have $8 in my bank acc). I have applied to jobs for the past two months and I haven’t heard anything promising back, so I’m still waiting and applying here and there, but since I am moving cities, it’s been a little harder. I really need this move so I can live in security and confidence, I’ll only need help for the rest of this month through august. I know that when I finally break the news to my parents about my moving, they’re going to get extremely upset and possibly more controlling, so I need some financial security. I have been mostly independent for a year now, but they still pay my phone bill and have access to my location and my current house.
