I have Newsies One Shots on my Tumblr for anyone still here! Sorry I haven't been posting anymore! My ed has gotten a lot worse recently, but I'm working on developing a more consistent writing schedule! Love y'all!

          Hi! I've been gone for what feels like forever and I'm sorry, but I'm back now!
          Anyway that's not the point of this announcement... What I actually wanted to talk about was something that I've been struggling with for a while, so here we go.
          ⚠️⚠️⚠️ ~ triggering topic~
          I have an eating disorder. 
          It feels so weird saying that, and my brain keeps trying to tell me that I don't have an actual disorder, and that I'm faking it, but at this point, I'm just going to call it what it is. 
          I'm anorexic, and on the occasion I can't skip a meal without someone clearly noticing, I always purge. 
          I'm not saying this for attention, but I really needed to get this off of my chest and into community where I feel safe. I also wanted to let anyone who might be struggling with the same thing know that they're not alone.
          Feel free to message me if you want to talk about anything, related to disordered eating or not.
          ⚠️⚠️⚠️ ~end of triggering topic~
          Anyway, let me know how y'all are doing! Literally tell me anything! Any specific Newsies requests? I'm also starting a Tumblr account which I'll link as soon as I reCAPTCHA decides to work. *eye roll*
          Love y'all!

Do y'all have any Newsies requests? I seriously need some specific ✨ideas✨

School:
          -We have to ASK TO GO TO THE BATHROOM
          -Our mental health is greatly neglected
          -We are taught to shut up and do what we are told, destroying our sense of individuality and
          -We are told to get more sleep but have hours of homework, and have to wake up early 
          -We NEVER AGREED TO SCHOOL (stop comparing it to work). Yes, education is important but most people are forced into a form of education that is terrible for them. So many public school kids would benefit so much from homeschool or virtual school.
          -Women are taught that our clothing is distracting to the boys, and are given an extremely sexist dress code
          -Religious children are forced to learn about things that they don't believe in
          -We are denied the chance to grow our own talents and are forced to learn things that studies have proved WE FORGET THE NEXT DAY
          
          Studies have shown that the average student (INCLUDING CHILDREN) now suffers from the same amount of stress as the average psychiatric patient in the 50's.
          
          Yet here is America's all good and dandy feel good show where we think we have everything together. 
          
          SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE.

Super random and probably not something I should be posting at 2:30 in the morning, but I just finished writing Luis's section for the |They Catch You Purging| chapter in my preferences book and I do not think I am ready to write the rest of them. We're gonna try though. Wish me luck!

Can you answer this? There are 10 people in a room and you kill 8 of them, how many people remain in the room?
          
          Reply with your answer and I will tell you on pm… but if your answer is wrong like mine, you have to repost this.

          I rarely do stuff like this but I thought it was fun so here you go.

Welcome Back my dear friend! ♡♡♡

Your comments have been popping up all evening on my phone and thank you for making me smile! I’m glad you’re enjoying them! 

I tested positive for Covid, so I might not update the preference book every day... I'm gonna do my best though, and have an amazing day!
