    I am brand new to this website so I figured I would introduce myself. I am a sixteen year old gay boy. I am in the closet(despite my 2 best friends who I just recently told). I have been in a real bind right now because I feel so alone. My high school has like 3 gay people in it. I just really want people like me that I can talk to and feel like there is not something wrong with me. It also makes me really nervous because I am afraid that I will go to college in two years and there won't be any gay people. I really am just looking for some people who get me at this stage in my life. Thanks for listening (*hug*):smilewave

    Lots of colleges have student groups for queer students (or GSAs). When you start to look for a school, do some research to make sure you find a school that will fit your personality. Don't worry, most place (except maybe some of the ultra-conservative schools like Liberty University) will have gay students. College is a great time to find out who you are and what you want in life. Experiment (safely) and have fun! :slight_smile:
