Hello! you can call me Rand0mCh33se, or Random (or really any variation of the name). I'm not really sure how to go about this :icon_redf ... I guess I'll just jump right in. I'm 16 and a sophomore in High school. I am a really huge nerd who loves video games and can pretty much reference just about any nerd-related thing you can think of (unless it's Stargate... haven't gotten around to it yet). I'm also interested in fun things like electrical engineering and cosmetics... yaaayyy I've lived a life full of social rejection, social repression, and the occasional suicidal attempt. Though most of that stuff has been resolved, there are other problems I now face. I live in a home with VERY Christian Parents, go to a Christian school, etc. I have not told them about my sexuality because I fear that they'll either reject me or try to "fix" me. I have come out to about two friends of mine and they give me all the love and support they can <3 And many of you probably aren't too keen on hearing an in-depth narrated epic of my life story, so I'll stop there. I hope to be able to gain enough strength and self-esteem to fully embrace who I am and at some point in my life, come out publicly and fully. There isn't that much else to know about me... other than I hope to maybe get to know some of you :icon_bigg
Heya Random, and welcome to EC! I'm new too, but I'm sure this is definitely the right place to come for support of any kind. As far as I've been able to tell, this is one of the most open and friendly communities on the web. Also, you sound like a great fellow. Best wishes!
Welcome, both of you, to EC. If you guys need anything, feel free to talk to me, even if it's just a simple talk about your day
