Alright, this is a subject that I have been avoiding because its such a sad thing to talk about. But, due to recent suicides regarding homosexuality that has hit the news within the last month, I thought that this would be the appropriate time to talk about it.
Being gay can be the toughest thing to go through. I can't count the number of times where I have felt like an outcast from everyone else. Like I didn't fit in with anyone else around me. Basically, people don't like people that are different than them because they don't understand the life style. There are usually people that hate you because your gay, like you because they want a gay friend, and the rare actual best friend. So obviously, this doesn't help any gay person feel like they deserve to live.
After a while this constant bullying and feeling like an outcast will build on a person where they feel that not living is better than going through the same shit everyday. This may sound very very cliché but, SUICIDE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!!
This is where the uplifting anti-suicide section comes in. Yes your going to go through shit, mainly throughout high school, but, you wont be in high school forever. You can do whatever you want. Be more active, go out and stand up for your rights and fight to end bullying. Everyone has a say and a chance to fight for what they believe in. You most likely wont reach out to millions of people but its still one thing to reach out to a few. Try to get people to understand that gay bullying is wrong and no one chooses their sexuality. Prove that gay people are strong and not week. Make a difference and be comfortable with who you are.
