im confused

    well i dunno what's going on, but im not sure what i am right now (str8, bi, gay, etc.) and it's getting on my last nerve right now. i've always liked girls and had a few crushes while growing up, but now that im a teen, i dunno what i want. eventhough i still like girls and everything, i don't feel the same way my friends do and feel kind of uncomfortable when they talk about girls. it's like all this time i have lost interest in girls :bang: i grew up in an extremely homophobic enviroment where everyone i know says that gay people a disguisting people with sick minds and that they are going to burn in hell, all those things that homophobes make up, personally i dont feel that way, but those thought make things even worse for me. it's kinda hard to grow up the way i feel in a place like this.

    to make things even worse, my parents, especially my mom, are very homophobic. they make fun of everyone that acts gay or metrosexually (like guy that tweeze or wax their eyebrows or shave their legs). so talking to them is completely out of the question. my mom even told me that i should never turn gay or else, so that scared the :***: out of me.

    i have no idea where to turn to so i can sort things out and finally decide what i am. i would really appreciate any advice and/or help.

    thanx

    Hey there, as long as you yourself know that homosexuality is not wrong or disgusting then you need not worry what other people think.

    I think you'll find alot of people in their younger years went through the liking girl stage, its because its what we think we're ment to do then we realise what we really want.

    Welcome to EC. (*hug*)

    thanx 4 the welcome :thumbsup:

    the thing is that eventhough i know its wrong, i don't know what to do and i'm scared of what might happen.

    and something i forgot to say what that to top it all off, i'm gonna go to a new school so i'm gonna be completely alone :icon_sad:

    I think you made a typo there. =P

    What are you afraid about happening?

    New school is hard and scary at first, but the people could be nice and you could get friends straight away. Just be yourself and you'll see what happens.

    Where you from?

    my bad :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: oh well

    as for being afraid, it might be that i could be gay or bi (still dunno), and if i am i would be afraid of rejection and possible humiliation if anyone ever found out

    the thing is that i have been at this school for 10 years, so being the new kid isn't easy. another thing is that my school skipped me a grade and everyone hates the smart kid, even though i'm more of the high B-low A's kinda guy.

    and im from PR, so moving to the US is kinda hard

    Be proud. =P Im a low C person. ;_;

    And try not to think about your sexuality too much, thinking can make it more difficult.

    (*hug*) yeah., no worries. if you ever do tell your parents, tell them about P-FLAG. that'll probably help lots. and if you don't, we'll all understand.

    no worries, but I don't know why people say stuff like this, cause i saw it and it made me feel like :***:

    i believe that God loves everyone the same but it's hard growing up somewhere where everyone is extremely homophobic, both in my neighborhood and school. i'm very confused and actually scared of what can happen. so i dunno if i'll ever be comfortable with what might happen.

    whoa. yeah, i hate ppl like that. yeah, i understand how you're feeling. if you do come out like that, look for a GSA group near by. i can't find one here, so i'm gonna see if the school would let me make a GSA club. just remember no matter what, you have friends that understand you, even though it's just on the computer.

    cool. and just in case, go in as a supporting straight to begin with, or just simply say that you're confused. but it's your decision.
