I suppose I only really have one hassle and that is I'm gay and 'out', I mean everyone knows. I'm still glad I told people, it was something I wanted to do, I didn't want to keep pretending. I've known since I was about 13 but it took me 2 years to really be sure and to get the courage to come out. The hardest part was telling my family, but they got over it. They don't really say much any more but the kids at school say stuff all the time, they don't seem to be able to accept me. The bullying dies down sometimes but it is always there, people can't seem to talk to me without making a remark about me being gay. I did get hit a few times, but that was when the kids at school first found out. I don't know what people are so afraid of, I'm not hurting them.
