Honestly, as a suicide attempter I can tell you part of the reason I tried was because I was a lot like Rick from Rick and Morty in that i am at the top of my classes and i am "too smart for my own good". I can rationalize everything with science and I know of the universe's indifference to my exsistence.๏ปฟ
I'm asexual. Yes, I'm a seventh grader. No, that doesn't mean it's just a phase. It doesn't mean I'll grow out of. It doesn't mean I'm just being a stupid little kid. Asexuality doesn't mean I reproduce with myself, nor does it mean that I'm a hermaphrodite. It doesn't mean that I'm homosexual, heterosexual, or pansexual. It doesn't mean that I hate romance, or that I like it. It doesn't mean that I dislike sex, or like it, for that matter. What being asexual can mean, is that I don't have the drive for sex, or I don't have the drive for romance in general. It can also mean that I do have somewhat of a drive for sex, but not for a relationship. Not everyone's the same. Some may like platonic relationships, some may not like relationships at all. Some may dislike the thought of romance altogether. But that doesn't mean they're any different from any other person on the planet. They're the same as heterosexuals, homosexuals, and pansexuals. Just with a different preference. "You'll grow out of it, you're still young." "Just wait for that special person. You'll find it's not such a bad thing with the right person." they say. They don't realize how much their words hurt. It's like being laughed at for being homosexual. Being made fun of for your gender. Or your race. What or who you like. It's all the same pain. Just in different sentences. It doesn't matter if you don't have interest in romance, sex, you're still a human being, and should be treated as such. That's why, I give a big 'Fuck you!' to the people who judge us by our sexual orientation.
