Up late, Can't sleep
As I lie here at 1:30 in the morning, I can't help but think about my life. I am a gay teen. In my 19 years on this planet, I've only told one person my deepest, darkest secret, and I am absolutely terrified to tell everybody else in my life. I long to find a nice guy with whom I can cuddle when I feel depressed, who I can spoil and tell how much I love him, but I fear my family's reaction. I mean, I feel like my parents would handle it well since they seem to already have a hunch that I'm gay, but my siblings, two of whom I think I have a pretty strong relationship with, may not take it as well. I'm thinking especially of my oldest brother. He comes off to me as probably one of the most bigoted homophobes on the face of this Earth. I've heard him say many occasions that gay people should all die. He is one of the people George Takei (One of my heroes)would call a complete and total "douche-bag," and as much as I hate to say it, I don't know that I can disagree. Don't get me wrong, I love my brother, but I've seen him snap over far lesser things and beat the crap out of someone for no apparent reason. I can only imagine what he would do to me. Luckily though, he lives in a different state, so if I wanted to tell my parents, he wouldn't be here. however, the real problem is that my Mom is the kind of person who can't keep a secret, si I fear she would end up telling him anyway. I don't know what to do.
@pitwhiffer: Thank you for your offer of friendship and a shoulder to cry on. You have no idea how much that means to me. I would also like to extend the same to you. I can promise you that I will think of this if the thought to take my own life ever crosses my mind. It just isn't worth it. Thank you again for your kind words and friendship.
got courage? yeah i back it up with my phone number and sky and whatever. this is for real and for life. anyone else ready to do this?
im not an expert in this field, but if you need help with anything, drop me inbox :)
then me dad (my parents divorce when i was little). told him that its in my dna, and i cant change it even if i want to. his reaction ? he blamed himself to have a gay son.
i know that im gay when i was in high school, but i dun have the courage to tell others. its only when i moved here (australia), i start my life anew, and meet new people and things, that change my view of the world: love yourself, whatever you are, whoever you are. if people hates you because you are gay or lesbian or bisexual, its their problem. seriously. im not robbing others property, aint kill no one, so, why would they hate me for ? gay or les is not a crime.
i myself have a younger brother, who still cant accept who i really am, and we live together under one roof. although he dont really care about my sexuality preference, but deep down, i know that he dont really like me. but, who cares ?? i dont. if he cant accept me as who i am, fine with me. i cant change it, so deal with it, or go away.
you're 19. there are whole world in front of you. dont let your sexuality hold your back. seriously. you should
You should come out to your parent. and tell them you are worried how your siblings will take it. As for there help. IF they love you they will help you. And your mom has no place telling any one anything. Your older brother if he loves you now he will still love to afterwards. It will just take him some time to deal with it all. And if he does not come around its his loss.
As for you, to live a life ashamed or in constant fear is no way to be. You're 19 and gay, its the greatest time of your life. Your potential mates at that age are as fun, interesting, and hot as they are ever going to be. Everyone should be loved and you demonstrate the right attitude about it in the first part of your post. Don't miss out on your opportunity to be happy.
