I was in a bit of trouble and am persona non grata with the Drama club, where a majority of our bisexuals find their niche at our school. I know if I could just get them, I could get the support of other gays, lesbians, and bisexuals in our school. But they hate me. What do I do? I'm so confused and conflicted. I want to help people that hate me.

Hold your head high and always know your true intentions.\n\nhttp://www.gsanetwork.org/resources/start.html\n\nhttp://www.dayofsilence.org/

please dont reject this advice. Talk to your parents and mabye a favorite teacher. I can understand if you maybe don't get along with your parents. I didn't get along with mine when I was first getting interested in boys. I did have a favorite teacher that I probably could have talked with about things. \n\nI felt so much like a misfit in school. I worked in the office and one of the other students in there started talking to me about books I was reading. We went out for a little while \n\nI have learned that I am my own best company. Have a good spirit and find things to do where you are enjoying yourself. Other people are attracted to fun people. Join a club, talk to lots of people and smile. \n\nLearn what you think are your values and what you want to have in a boyfriend. It's much easier to find something if you know what it will be like when you see it. \n\nI hope this helped.

It's not fun, I know how you feel.\nYou just have to learn to not care.\nIt's tough...and I know it's a lot easier to say then do.\nSo what if they find out? If they treat you any differently, then they aren't good friends and don't deserve to have you as a friend.\nAnd if you are worried about people like, making fun of you or something, then just know that the only reason they are making fun of you is to raise thier own self-esteem, and that you are better then that.\nTry and take pride in being irregular, then again, I'm not sure exactly why you're irregular, but ya.\nIf it still bothers you, talk to the teachers about it, and ask them if maybe there is some way you could be called on the normal roll call.\n\n\nI hope that I helped. ^_^

That sounds like a problem with the other people, not you or your friend. \n\nI'm sure he isn't the only gay guy there. Perhaps the only one brave enough to come out, knowing that uninformed people will look at him weird. Share his bravery; be yourself, hang out with who you want. If people want to hold that against you, that should teach you something valuable about those people. And the next time someone else wants to be themself and come out, or be friends with your friend because he's a good guy, they'll be that much more likely to do it.

Ahhh, just ran into you in the GLBT section. So nice to see you're an equal opportunity hater. \n\nYou really need to get a life. The one you have now looks pretty pathetic.

I feel you pal! But not everybody hates you. It just seems like that. Look around you, there are certain to be other kids who also feel they are hated. Make friends with them. Rejects never reject rejects. I say this as a former high school reject...

Join the club. Every time I say something positive about gays/lesbians I get a violation. I contacted yahoo as to why but they never answered me

First and foremost, I must say that I applaud you for standing up for someone who you feel is being wronged. So what if she's " kinda big?" If God wanted everyone to be alike, then he would have made us that way. I also want to tell you that I had some hard times attending high school myself because no matter what you do, people are going to be just people. I was known as the "goody two-shoes" girl, but at least I wasn't bullying anybody, and I was able to get good grades. Grades that have put me where I am today. If you do as some people on here has suggested, and be a "goody-two shoes", then people will hate you for being good, and if you're stuck up and snobbish, then they will hate you for that also. Just be YOURSELF!! As long as when you get up in the morning and can still face yourself in the mirror, then you know that you are doing something right. And, I hate to say it, but this is just a growing process that we all must go through at some point in our lives. It sucks, I know, but in the end, at least you'll feel better for going through it, and being the victor!!

I read no evidence where they had a cause for hating you, and people seldom waste a lot of time and energy on people they don't like.  Perhaps they are getting a response from you that tickles them, so they make juvenile efforts for more amusement.  When they make remarks about your friends, tell them you don't want to listen and say, "I don't listen when anyone talks about you."  Strive to treat them as friends, even when they don't act like it, and the situation may reverse itself.  If not, and you get no response from the teacher, enlist the aid of your parents in talking with her or him, and then, if necessary, it is a chain of command thind: Principal, Board of Education, etc.  Recent laws should aid you in getting attention to your problem.  Good luck, and remember, the best way to get rid of an enemy, is to make a friend of them.

'Everybody' does not hate you.  I am sorry if you are going through a time when it feels as though you are not appreciated or supported, not having fun, feeling left out...\n\nMaybe changing your circle of friends might help? Finding a new hobby or interest?\n\nDon't fall into the trap of believing that every person you meet hates you.  Give them a chance to see the real you and also, when you feel a bit more confident, show interest in others - people tend to like that, if you are being genuine :-)\n\nI do hope you have someone you trust that you can talk to about this.

A lesbian is a gay woman. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being lesbian. It sounds like you may well be lesbian. Everyone does NOT hate gay people. It's just popular to bash on them just now. Look for support - the straight/gay alliance in High Schools would be a good thing, and you should look on the net for lesbian/gay resources. Gay people have been on this planet forever. You're fine - try cybering with a lesbian once... it's more honest.

This stuff is supposed to be secret... who keeps leaking out information to all those wanna-be people. At first we had a nice little club thing going on,...and ...if we keep giving out these tiny secrets,...before long everyone will want to be LGBT.\n\nI'm thinking about quitting....

Hi hun, Just felt like i had to say i am so sorry for what someone said in one of your answers,people come in here as a safe place and some stranger talks to you (many teens) like you are nothing.I'm here to tell you that was a great and curious  question for new people to deal with in our community(lesbian,gay,bi,trans).It really isn't something that is taught but you will come into your own as you spend time around other lesbians maybe in some social events and just feel your way through what fits you best,some are femmes or more known as lipstick lesbians,some are just tomboys and some are soft butch and some are hard core butch,dress and act much like a man.so you see there are many personalities in our world as well as being in a straight world..I wish you the best and just hall er if you need to ok  Bye Deb

Honestly, there's not much you can do. You can try to talk to a guidance counselor or teacher, and that might help. The only thing that worked for me when I was in school was ignoring the crap that was said. There was this one girl who bullied me for years and we would consequently bad-mouth each other. Finally, I just quit saying anything about her and let her talk all the trash she wanted to. Our mutual friends realized after a while that she was the one causing all the drama and so even though she was still talking trash about me, our friends just tuned her out when she would do that. And it made me look like the better person. (which, of course, I am... ;) )

Omg...I didn't get a chance to read all of it becuase I was soo scared for you. DON'T KILL YOURSELF! Please do not do that please. Life isn't as bad as you think it is. There isn't anything wrong with being gay and if you asked god to make you get rid of this problem. Maybe he's not listening and sometimes don't worry about that because we all don't know why we're here. Just live, be happy, and even if you're gay you can have a good life. I'm sooo scared that you might do something terrible. I tried to IM you but you don't accept those but whatever you do. Dont end your life. There are so many people that care about you and love you and it's soo sad to know that you feel this way. I've been through this. I wanted to kill myself once but I never had the guts and I'm glad I didn't because life gets so much better you just have to get through the hard parts. Don't listen to what people and society tell you. They are not you and they don't know how you feel. If you feel that you need to distance yourself from your family awhile then you need to do that but don't hurt yourself. That is the worst thing you can do. That wouldn't be helping your family at all. That would be killing them also. They love you even if you are homosexual I'm sure they do. If they say they don't then their lying becuase their homophobic. So keep your head up please. I don't want you to kill yourself. Email me if you need to.

Hang out with different people, ones who you want to be with. If they still bug you, just ignore them. They just want to push your buttons and get you to jump on them, getting you in trouble. I know it's hard ignoring people who constantly get in your face, but the alternative is to get in trouble by physically getting their face gone. If they won't leave you alone, after asking them nicely, maybe ask them why they're bugging you. Most times, you'll get some lame excuse, like because they like it, or because I want to. Those kinds of excuses tell you they're just trying to make you mad and get a reaction. After that, don't react to them, no matter how bad it gets. Try to always surround yourself with positive people, keeping your goals in focus. Don't lose your stride to a bunch of posers. Their own lives are miserable, so they want to bring you down past their level of mediocrity. Rise above it. Don't give in to their taunts. I had years of this kind of experience in grade school, the worst being in middle school. Something happens to some kids when they get in middle school. It's like they left their brains somewhere else and living the life of a moron. It will get better, in time. Though it seems hard right now, just keep your focus. <*)))><

All the power to you, I think if you did start a GSA that'd be totally awesome, and you would help others feel more comfortable about their sexuality and make others more knowledgable about it.  I am in the GSA of my school and I know a lot of kids that found it helpful and informative.  I suggest you start small maybe not be a school club but try having a few friends and yourself spread the word about the GSA and have the meetings outside of school and if you can get enough supporters than try school sponsership
