We're sorry to hear that you're dealing with a bully—that's a really difficult situation and we feel for you. If someone is being transphobic toward you, then it's typically best to ignore what they're saying so they don't get a reaction out of you. Pretend like you didn't hear them and go about your day like normal. Even if what they said bothered you, journal your feelings about it or talk to a trusted friend for additional support.

If the bullying doesn't stop and they keep up their behavior, then talk to an authority figure like a teacher, parent, work supervisor, or even law enforcement to let them know what's happening. They will do what they can to help you feel safe and comfortable again.

If you know the bully well, have a private conversation with them and make it clear that you expect more respectful behavior from them. Ask why they engaged in the bullying and offer suggestions for more respectful behavior in the future for their own sake.

If you don't know the bully well, express surprise and disappointment that they are bullying you. If they continue their behavior, then it may be time to talk to another person about the issue.

Tinder hacks that actually work to get more matches
I've (24yo man) been on the apps for 4 years now and it's been mostly frustrating. I feel like I spend hours on Tinder every week and only ever actually get a few dates a YEAR from it! What am I doing wrong? I have revamped my profile so many times over the years and I feel like it just isn't working. I know some people who have used Tinder Gold and seem to like it but I'm hesitant to take the plunge. Is it worth it? I'm not sure what else can I do to get more matches.

I thought I was a Type A person, but apparently I'm Type B
All my life I've thought I'm a type A person since I'm driven and constantly pushing myself to be my best. But this quiz told me I'm a Type B person. It made me think about my personality and realize that even though I'm ambitious, I'm not one dimensional; I'm also great with people. What type did everyone else get?

I can't sleep. What should I do?
I can't sleep. As I'm typing this it's almost 4 in the morning and I have been just staring at the ceiling (or my phone or the insides of my eyelids) for hours. This happens a lot, I can't sleep and then I waste the night just lying there trying to fall asleep and the next day I'm exhausted. What should I do?

I don't know what to do with my life
I’m 21, and I feel hopeless. I’m working full-time at a cafe, barely getting by. I hate it but can’t find anything else to do. I don’t know what I want to do, I don’t really feel like I’m good at anything, and nothing really excites me. I feel like all I can do is survive.
