@nonameforsana Hi there, & welcome to 7Cups!
What's it like where you live? I've always lived in the US & never been to Iran, though I know some of its history...what a history it is! The Parthians, Sassanid Persia, etc. Aside from that, most of us only know what we've seen & heard on the news & "social media". I have been outside America but never to Iran.
...so, what is it really like there?
@slowdecline48 wow u know s.th man
um
its not ok
like cause of _islam_ hijab is a rule and
teens hate hijab
they murder teens and
thats all i care for now+
@nonameforsana I am so sorry to hear/read that. 😔
There is one thing in your favor: time.
You are quite young. I understand the Iranian population has many young people in it, whereas the government there does not. Ali Khameinei is no spring chicken; a lot of people in the government have been there since 1979 for obvious reasons. The point is, you have a future ahead of you while for Iran's regime, the clock is ticking towards midnight.
@slowdecline48
i really appreciate it but im curious
why do u know a lot about iran mate?
@nonameforsana I don't, at least not much about 20th-century Iran prior to '79. Your parents surely know more about that period than I do. All I know of that period is that it was ruled by the Shah, but I've gotten different takes on what it was like when he was on the throne, so I'm not sure who to believe about that...
Basically, I'm a history geek. Most of what I'm interested in is that of other nations because there's way more of it. I come from a young country...the US hasn't been around for half a millennium yet. Our history isn't that interesting after the 1940's, tbh, & formal education on it is third-rate here.* If you want the real deal then you must research it on your own. But Persia, now...that's different. Utterly fascinating. It is almost as old as Egypt; only Chinese civilization compares in terms of longevity. The whole Shi'a thing only goes back to the 17th century or so, right?...have heard there are still a few Zoroastrians in the country if you look in the right places. Is that true?
...maybe that's why I stopped by to talk to you. Iran has been in the news many times here, unfortunately for reasons of which we're both aware. Most of what I know of Iran comes from past dynasties (their rise, expansions, declines & falls), wars, & the revolution of 1979 plus what news media reports on. I've never met an actual Iranian citizen online before, let alone one in her teens. This is a unique situation! 😃
*It saddens me to tell you, but it's the truth. Much of American formal education in general just sucks now. I have a bachelor's degree from a public university here & have talked with quite a few foreigners in real life & online thus far, so I speak from experience. I fully realized how degraded our schools & universities are in 2010...that's when I caught the history bug. Certain political & cultural changes here starting in 2014 have made the situation here much worse.
@nonameforsana hi sana, I'm lola ❤ I'm in the uk. And yep trust issues is something many people here understand. So please know you are not alone ❤❤I hope you find friendship and support here with cups ❤

@nonameforsana Welcome aboard Sana Nice to have you here on 7cups
@nonameforsana I won't bother you anymore after this...you have my word.
Though we don't know each other well, from your other comments I got the impression that you're not too happy about the official religion of your native land, & its hold on the government there. If my impression was mistaken then just ignore this post, please...but if I'm correct:
Then here are a couple links for you...
When things really get to you where you are, you can always find people in those orgs who will understand your position better than most. I am sure you will find a friendly ear in either of them as well as here.
@slowdecline48oh no its fun to talk with u
yes but it wont hurt me like
if u ask
i will say its not ok
but i wontfeel bad about it all the time
but thxx
Am glad to hear I'm not bothering you, especially since as you said, you have trust issues. I understand completely...got a few myself. That's why my life has been almost hermit-like at times, especially from the late 2010's to now.
In the interest of inspiring trust, here's a bit more about me: I'm an artist/craftsman in the US (obviously)...Florida, in the southeast. I call it the "Banana Republic of Floridastan". In terms of my years I am in late middle age but the way I act some days, you'd think I was already 70+. This is because of chronic health problems. The worst one I have is Meniere's disease...you can read about it here. It limits what I can do, day-to-day. This & chronic depression are what brought me to 7Cups well over a year ago.
Feel free to hit me up in any other threads where you see my comments.
