I am in secondary school and I recently came out as bisexual. All of the people who are in my form, the people who I thought were my friends have suddenly gone really strange around me. I go to an all girls school so it's not like there aren't people who are lesbians there. Some of the people I classed as my best friends have stopped talking to me, when we do pe people don't like changing in front of me and people say that I am not actually bisexual just going through a phase and that I am just a lesbian but I can't admit it to myself. And I know there is something saying things will get better but life is terrible at the moment and I just feel like I have had enough and my life is a living hell. I have told my parents but they just say it will get better but they don't understand what I am going through. Please help me!
I agree. Screw them. They don't know what they are talking about an you don't have to justify yourself to anyone. Just keep being you.
Also I took the advice and one of my new friends doesn't care and has invited me to have her spare ticket to go and see girls aloud! Especially as she know I have the biggest crush on Cheryl Cole! I am soooo excited! Thanks guys your advice helped me a lot!
screw them your real friends will be there for you no matter what. There is a saying by Dr Seuss those that matter don't mind and those that mind don't matter. Keep being you and life guess what it does get better
Thank you so much for all your guidance it is so nice to know there are always people here to listen to me!
Just be yourself. It's a hard lesson all people have to learn...not to give a fuck about what others say...those who live life as the person they are, not as others want them to be are happier within themselves.
There's a lot of good advice here. I had a tough time at secondary school - I was hated and ostracised for being "different". It took me a long time to learn to just ignore all the shallow pettiness of the majority of my peers. But gradually I found one or two really good friends, who actually cared for me as a person. Popularity ain't all it's cracked up to be. One or two true friends are worth a LOT more than a whole school full of superficial friends.
I know and I don't want to be popular at all just not hated by everyone. But thank you for all of your advice. It's good to know sometimes that I am not the only one.
Who wants homophobic friends anyway? Those are not the kind of people who improve the quality of your life by their presence and influence. I hope this situation will lead to you bonding with more open-minded and progressive people.
Be yourself and screw everyone else. You have a right to be happy and live how you want and if they cannot understand it you shouldn't be wasting your time trying to rekindle a friendship with them.
