@FIRINMAJLAZOR ***********I been watching the "It Gets Better" videos for a while. It does. My high school life was hell -- I had a 50 inch waist. My sexuality and other reasons had me resisting my feelings with food. Years later (I have have a 50 inch chest now - husky). Anyway, I wish I had sexuality issues back then. I was called gay etc... without any benefits. It does get better, and at 49, I wouldn't change my life for anything.
@angrymail123 I knew that highschool was gunna be terrible for me, i accepted that and it doesnt effect me that much, but when i came out to mai parents theres just something missing nao. Mai dad will barely even look at me, i feel like he doesnt even accept me as his son anymore. Mai mom doesnt do anything about it either she just goes about her day and doesnt care how bad i feel. Its so terrible that i barely ever leave mai room. I feel embarrassed to walk through my own house, i hate it...
@FIRINMAJLAZOR *Oh I understand now. I never came out to my parents, my friends, coworkers,etc.. I have just always been ME. Who I sleep with is my business-unless I force someone or something illegal. I don't believe in pushing my beliefs on others, yet I don't run away from stuff either. Your parents-they had hopes, dreams, etc.. that they had for you that they have to change. Doesn't mean you won't make them proud or they don't love you - THEY have to change. understandable
It saddens me as well that this is still occuring. I'm so glad that you've chosen to point out, to our queer (LGBT/gay) , younger brothers and sisters that some of the "angst" they feel is a part of growing up! This was something that I was far too young, to adequitely express, to a boy I had loved (Bobby Griffith/Prayers for Bobby) who ended up taking his own life! What a wonder it is to see you and many others, stand up and speak out!
Some gay people have gone into ministry to try to feel accepted by God. In other cases, it is the real thing - a call from God. I found God changed me, but not in the way I'd hoped - in a better way. I found self-acceptance.
That is sad. and which is strange is before that article was published my former school teacher 'Ms. Lisa' had called me and asked what she can do to show the GBLTQ students at thats she is open to talking .. cus she said that in our district it was prohibited for teachers to show openess to the queer student pop. and they were instructed to stay 'nuetral' .. its just crazy and I would of never thought that that happened here in a state were it seems accepting than say, downsouth. But thanks !
Wow... Thanks for sharing your story for lgbt youth. I'm so sorry to hear your lifes torment. Your inner struggle and your undecided self. I'm so glad to see it's getting better. We need more examples like you. Thank You.
