Growing up, I knew I was different. I was bullied and picked on for being different. I believed the words that were thrown at me day after day as I walked down the halls at school. I was even hung out a window one day at school for being different. I believed that I wasn't society's definition of "normal". For not being one of the heterosexuals, that I wasn't going to be loved by anyone. And even the words that were thrown at me by my mother's religion. I was told by her day after day that being homosexual was a sin and that homosexuals would die in the judgement of God.
I went through my teenage years questioning my sexuality. I decided, with some help from friends, to come out to my family. So on February 29, 2012, I decided to come out. Since I've come out, things have gotten better. I'm here to say that things get better.
Things do get better. Check out the Trevor project, or call Kids Help Phone. Call 1-888-668-6868 and follow the link bellow to a video for the Trevor project.
It gets better.
