hey i'm tim!! i'm 18. i realize i'm pretty young compared with the crowd around here, although it almost doesn't feel like it. i'm currently trying to come out in college although my family doesn't know yet (need more time, oops). my counselor is always encouraging me to find more community support, so here i am!
a little about me: i'm from new york city, pansexual, pretty effeminate, an illustration major. i'm going to graduate with my associates, and after i'll be studying computer animation. id like to work on animated movies (pixar would be an absolute dream job). i love coffee and get almost no sleep when school is in session (oops), but i'm currently trying to slowly transition to becoming a raw vegan (wish me tons of luck because i'll need it). i know lots about health food and nutrition as a result. i also love to draw obviously, and i love making cartoons and comics. i'm really goofy and sarcastic but i really try to be friendly because i love being in the presence of good, fun people.
anyway, everyone here seems really lovely so far; i feel safe and at home already!! i hope we can get along great :^)
Hi Tim,
A big Aussie welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while.
There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in start talking and ask any question you like. You're quite safe here and we are very accepting.
I wouldn't say you are that young. We do have a pretty young population here. They are probably doing what all young peeps do these days, no doubt they'll drop in soon.
Just watch that sleep thing of yours. Just because you're on a health diet doesn't mean you can skip the sleep bit. It's more important than food. ;D
Looking forward to hearing more of your story in time to come, but in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.
Lotsa huggs
Catherine
Welcome, Tim. To tell you the truth, er have a rather large group of young (pre-21) members here. You may not recognize that they are you, because we discourage those who are under the age of 18 to post ages.
And Tim, we have quite a few members form the NYC area too.

Hi Tim, :icon_wave:
Welcome to our little family. Over 9885 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.

But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another member. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-3.gif&hash=f49e2f86761323f2abd9c33941920389dbb3b10f)

Hi,
I'm 20 years old and I've met a lot of people around our age and also people much older, so far I think there is a pretty wide distribution of people concerning age on here!

Welcome Tim! I remember my first time on Susan's, it seems like yesterday but this place is like my family now, its great to have another member.
See you around the boards some time, and message me if you ever wanna talk; I'm one of the younger members too so you're not alone.

Hi Tim! Welcome. I find there are a ton of friends to make here--lots of really great people. I love it. I'm sure you'll continue feeling right at home here too. :) See you around.
