Thank you for your post, I have a feeling it will be read by many who may be in a similar position, though maybe not spoken of it.
I'm in year nine now and i'm still the gay kid, I do Debating, Public speaking, I play Piano, I do drama, I also play soccer and I play basketball, all of these things are activities that i enjoy, but i want advice on how to be less known as the gay kid and more of who i actually am. Eventually i got sick of it and just started correcting them to 'gay' because I didn't want to lie anymore. It was pretty hard and I didn't help at all with my flaunty gay attitude, soon enough everyone was finding out about the Bisexual kid. This one kid in my class always talked about how disgusting gay people were and how they were all going to hell, in religion when we had to present a slideshow on 'the power of love in the bible' he put a bunch of pictures of two men kissing with big red x's through them, obviously this didn't help my self esteem.Įventually i grew tired of this and one day i told a relatively close friend in class that I was Bi, I figured that being Bi wasn't as bad as being gay and i would be accepted more.
When i was in year 7 i new i was gay and i new that was bad, gay was obviously a common insult and got thrown around a lot so i stayed under the radar. Hello everyone, im pretty new here just needed some help or advice kinda.
