    Hey all! I've been having some issues lately, so I thought I would join a forum where I wouldn't be judged or anything. I've been really depressed lately, because my parents keep bashing gays, like, all the time. None of my family think that homosexuality is right, and basically I have no friends that aren't just online :grin: . They think I'm fine, but I'm not. My whole family except one sibling are LDS, and I've been avoiding going to church for a few months. I know that if I ever come out to my parents, they'd most likely get really angry and possible kick me out or something. But yeah. I haven't cut myself yet, but I've definitely thought about it a lot lately and if someone asks about I can just lie and say my cat scratched me.

    On a positive note, I hope I can get to know some people who can get to know the REAL me :slight_smile:

    I totally understand u also cuz I come from a super religious family. Its pretty difficult being in the closet while your family practices a religion that thinks that you are unnatural and an "abomination." Just Hang in there :slight_smile: If you ever needa talk, theres plenty of people on your side to talk to.
