Hi. I am a new member here. I am 18 years old and a senior in high school. I joined this board to find people who are going through what I am. I have been labled gay my entire life. I am now coming to terms with it. I had my first crush on a boy this summer and it changed my life. I recently came out to my closest friends, all who have been very supportive. I am just trying to figure out how to tell my mom. Ok sorry for the long post. Thanks for reading this too.....
Hi - and welcome :smilewave BTW - that was actually a pretty concise post :icon_bigg -and I think you'll find a few people who are at/have gone through the same stage as yourself. Dive right in and make yourself at home!
Hey aeguy, welcome to EC. Don't hesitate to make a post in the Support and Advice forums about any issues you are having Hope to see you around. Dave
Hello, and welcome! I'm 18, a freshman in college, and I joined for similar reasons. I really just wanted to learn about some of the issues that GLBT people go through, as I had been completely isolated from them the first 18 years of my life (mostly because of my own doing). I had the fortunate/unfortunate luck that before college (as far as I can tell, and have learned), no one could tell I was gay. Yeah, I got my first crush when I started college (he's straight, I haven't told him yet, but do plan to, eventually).
hey, im 15, but im in highschool and i see how gay people are treated (thats why im "hideing" it). its really wrong, but even though people think im straight, im still really insecure about it. and a few years ago this BIG rumer was spread by my "friend" that i was gay, no one knew i was, they were trying to make me mad, but they treated me like i was and it was NO fun....if you wanna talk, send me a message, i pretty sure i know what your going thru
