A ton of things (Let's say I'm talking to 6th grade me)

This list is mostly not-particularly-political

• Start fucking lifting. Bullies and fascists are one in the same, get strong and they will back down without you needing to throw a single punch. But take up some boxing so if you have to, you can publicly humiliate them and get them to back off. Plus bodybuilding will make you like the way you look better and give you some much needed confidence.

• Oh my fucking God learn how to dress. Again, this is a matter of getting people to respect you so you can at least be better socially well-adjusted. Just follow some fashion guides on /fa/ and then order some stuff off of Uniqlo that actually fits you.

• Speaking of which, get a non-vidya hobby that you love. It can even be vidya-adjacent like coding. This will give you something to talk about, and will help you with learning to relate to others and learn to be less awkward.

• See if you can get therapy in middle school, it WILL save you a FUCKTON of grief. The school counselors are ableists that probably only got these jobs so they can passively bully neurodivergent kids (to show how bad it is, one "counselor" suggested to me and my parents that I should just silently put up with the bullying I got.). With that being said, still when you follow tip number one, kick the bully's ass.

• You're bi lol. There's this guy you will understand, let's call him Dave. Ask him out.

• When you get to college, just major in bioinformatics and minor in art. Saves you a world of trouble.

• if you're going to lurk on 4chan, just stick to the hobby boards. /r9k/ will give you a latent amount of baseline depression. Stop calling people "normies", it's not funny and makes you look like a dork.
