Why can't you just be NORMAL!!!

(*hug*)

I don't know what to say actually. I was in a similar situation and just waited it out until I got to college last year. My advice? Be yourself, don't let family change you, and keep your chin up.

I'm sorry I can't be much more help than that, but that's the truth. At this point, I think the truth is what you need...

 

I've had some very similar experiences. I had someone who tried to fix me last year but I refused. She wanted to show me how to do my hair and do makeup and dress more girly. Yuck, yuck, and more yuck!!! I hate the way makeup feels, even the natural stuff and I hate having any fake stuff in my hair. She said because I didn't do this stuff meant I didn't love myself.

What this has helped teach me is to not be judgemental of others. When I see someone doing something I don't like I have to stop myself and think does it really matter? is it harming anyone? If not then I have to let it go.

 

Every adult has a view on how the youth should grow up - every parent has a plan on how they will raise their child and every grandparent has a plan too.

When you take a step off their path, they will attempt to push you back to 'their direction'

It's hard a time to handle all their ciritism I know, the more people say you're not normal the more you start to believe it.

But always remember - Everyone has a path they would like you to follow, but only YOURS will take you to the destination you want.

 

It's just parents and grandparents' natural thing to do, pick out and nag about something they see different about you. You could tell them to shove it but that wouldn't be very polite. LOL Tell them you are who you are and that's what makes you you and although there are some things you want to improve or change, their critisism is dragging you down rather than lifting you up.

(*hug*) Hang in their soldier, you can make it.

 

well maybe you should send this not to them but take out the lesbian parts of it maybe this will let them know how you feel. hope this helps keep us posted

 

Aww, yahoooo, that sucks so much. I don't what to say except believe in yourself and just keep up with your sport/studies/whatever helps you forget about their bullshit. Try and just enjoy your life as much as possible. Sooner or later you will move out and then this will have made you a stronger person. (*hug*) (*hug*)

 

Stay strong and be yourself.

 

That is a natural reaction for adults but right now we are in a new era, but still, it's not easy to change their mind. I think you should be yourself regardless what they say because you are you. Continue with sports but don't neglect your studies since they are important for your future, that can keep you occupied from the bullshit plus getting on the way for the future!

And it's so awesome that you play hockey. I used to do soccer and boxing before, it is nice to be active!

 

Keep your head up and try to keep your spirits up too. I'm in a similar position, although the criticism isn't directed to me I live with older relatives and they're always saying racist/homphobic things. Its really really annoying..-.- jesus but I'll be able to move out soon as soon as I have my own income. Play more hockey

Its hard enough to grow up but when you're queer too and people are telling you what to do all day its a really heavy load. Considering all of that I think you're doing great

 

Holy necropost, Batman.
