Hey. My name's Joel. I'm about to go into the 11th grade. I'm gay, obviously. I'd consider myself to be a fun, loving guy. I like music...a lot. I don't act very flamboyant and don't conform to gay stereotypes at all. People are usually surprised when I tell them I'm gay. I'm out to all my friends, and most of my family. They are all supportive, my parents are kind of a different story, but I love them still. I had suspicions that I could be gay when I was 11. By the age of 12, I started coming out to people. Anyways, I look forward to meeting and talking to some of you guys. I don't know what this site is like in terms of how old people usually are on here, but I hope there are at least a few other Teens out there.
