    Just now, I have realized that my homosexual feelings probably aren't a result of hormones changing in adolescence. They feel real. I can see my self with a man but never with a woman. I'm gay. There's no doubt about it now. For months now, I have been angry at myself for being gay. Now, I'm almost excited for my future. I know if in school I will be bullied because my town is very religous, but I am seeing past that. It's like something in me just snapped and now everything feels so much more real. I have a long road ahead of me, but I won't be alone. I would love any sort of response!:thumbsup:

    Yay! Accepting it is the first and most difficult step. Congratulations! It won't be easy but at least you know who you are. Hopefully your family will be accepting. Good luck on the future.

    Good luck and congrats on the self-acceptance! I wish I could have done that at your age, but no use crying about the past, just look at the bright wonderful life that lies ahead :slight_smile:

    Thats great! And you sound so positive about it!!! Your attitude and acceptance of yourself will help in the face of anyone who tries to talk you down
