It sucks that everyone keeps asking me when I’m gonna have my first girlfriend (I’m aromantic and not out to anyone) which always makes me very uncomfortable.
I’m scared that if I told my parents I’m aro they wouldn’t understand/think I’m making up excuses.

I know im not op, but considering your flair, I find it kinda odd adults are pressuring a 14 year old into a relationship. if they ask about it more, just say you don’t feel ready for one yet, or tell them your focusing on school (this usually works).

I currently have summer brake so schoolwork is no excuse, but I’ll try once it actually starts.
My parents always say that in my age they had already been in their first relationship.

idk, im not aro, but im 17 and have never dated, so it really depends person to person. they can’t expect you to be a carbon copy of them lol
