Being bi-sexual isnt anything to be embarrassed
of, nor is lesbian or gay. It's merely a
preference. For years i denied this. I hated
myself for being bi. I never told anyone and i
punished myself through cutting. I thought i was
some horrible person. But i was wrong. You can't
help who you love. I first suspected i was bi
when i was in sixth grade. I didn't begin to
accept it until the summer after eigth grade. I
looked in the mirror one day and thought 'life
isn't worth living, unless i'm myself.' and that
meant so much, to realize that i wasn't being
true to myself. Slowly i began to accept myself.
It was fine for other people to be gay, but i
didnt want to be at first. I don't know what
changed exactly. It wasn't until after my friend
killed herself that i fully accepted myself. I
didn't want to end up like her. I wanted to live
my life. I began to slip hints to my family. I
asked my mother what she thought about
homosexuality. She flipped out. She, to this day,
thinks it's wrong. I don't care though. I need to
live for myself, and no one else. I haven't
said "mom i'm bi." but from all that i have said,
i'm pretty sure she knows. Coming out to my
friends was worse. Most of them aren't prejudiced
but i was afraid of being treated differently.
The first person i told was my current boyfriend,
Josh. At the time we were only friends, and i met
him through this website. He was fine with it. I
then opened up to all of my friends on this
website. They convinced me that if someone can't
accept me as i am, they aren't my friend to begin
with. When i told my best friend she was furious.
I had been depressed for 4 years, and this was
one of the causes. She was shocked that i hadn't
told her sooner. I was crying. She then told me
she loves me for who i am, and it's ok that i'm
bi. The only other person at school i have told
is my friend Ben. He took it very well. It
surprised him that i confided in him. I'm not
flaunting my sexuality but if anyone ever asks me
i'm not ashamed to tell them. No one should ever
be ashamed. Love has no gender.
