I'm done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---

I know it should be posted in the teen section but, more people look here so I'm posting it here. I'm done with my town I can't take it any more. This happenned today. (1) I was filling up my car and a car drove by and yelled "fuck you! You stupid mother fucking cock sucker!!!!!!!" and drove off. (2) then at the park I was walking by myself and I saw a guy in a skate board. So I walked off the trail so I wouldn't make any trouble. The guy goes off the trail and chaises me down and tried to trip me twice and yelled somthing at me (I didn't hea because my iPod was in my ears.) He was with a goup and one of them stopped him. Then the guy that stopped him tracked me down to make sure I was ok. So I guess the last part wad good. So I'm done with this town. That just happened today but, similar things happen every day. I can't wait to move far far far away from here.

Geez what city do u live in? Im sure things like that happen in MOST cities in the world. It can get u down, but i'm sure there are ALOT worse places out there to live.That other guy making sure u was ok was pretty cool of him.

I know most do but, I cAn never be myself because of people like that. And the whole town is that way. It was keel that he did that.

Why cant u be urself?

How old are you? 16 right?

I can't be my self because, I'm gay and living in the town of the bigots.

And yes I'm 16.

that was very rude of that car to yell at you, and peculiar

It's not that uncommon it happens alot.

Dude, somethings in life can be very hard. The most important thing is staying true to urself and finding someone u trust and can confide in. Do u have a friend that u could do this with?The other important thing is that no matter how alone u feel there is ALWAYS someone out there to help. If the pace u live is really gvig u problems then look to it as a learning curve that will only make u a stronger persona mentally, when or if u do move away one day. The point is that no matter where u move to, there will be some sort of problems to counter. If u can get thru this phase of ur life and become stronger, then the future will undoubtably be a better place for u.

Thanks. I don't know about the freind though.

there's not a friend that u feel u could be close to in a conversation manner? to talk things out with and tell them about ur fears or problems?Do any of ur friends no ur gay?

No and no.

Hmm well that makes things a little more difficult, but thats one of the greatest things about the net, u are NEVER alone. If u need someone to chat to u can chat to me or anyone on this forum. Its probably not as good as a face to face friend, but its better than feeling completely ALONE!!

The important thing is that ur willng to come onto these boards ans share experiences...never bottle things up. What would happen if u DID tell one of ur better friends about u being gay, or is that out of the question?

There's one maybe. But I'm scared to tell har because, she's my only real freind. The rest. Are just aquantances.

If ur scared then i wouldnt tell her, because u can never be sure how she would take it and that would leave u no friends. However, nothing is stopping u from TALKING with her about any fears or concerns u have with where u live or things that are happening in ur life. U have to remember dude that where u live RIGHT NOW is ONLY the place u were born. There is a huge world out there ready for the taking and LOADS of friends to be made.At 16, everything about the future seems quite daunting and the city u live in can seem like a box sometimes, but what u see today may not be what u see tomorrow. Just be as open as possible with ur friend and allow her to "see" you...if ur "obiously gay" then she may know already.

I know it sounds like forever away now but in less than two years your free to get out of there. Focus on that and actively work toward it.

What they are doing to you isnt fair. If you know these kids you need to get them in deep trouble. They are acting immature and should be punished for their actions.

What about the police? Under the new Federal Law, can't they treat this type of action against this guy as a "Hate Crime"? But, on the other hand if he lives in a Southern Town, forget it! In California - any harassment like this, regardless of your life style - is taken serious and treated as a Hate Crime. The next time this happens - get a description and license number or better yet - always carry your digital camera and take pictures.... report it to the police; they are their to serve the people (well most of them anyway) good luck Deek!

Thanks and that's why in two years I'm moving to southern California.

My mom said that from now on when I walk alone I have to carry maise with me.
