Someone will hate you no matter who you are or how you dress. Be who you want to be; maybe tone it down a little, but be YOU.

people who say that they hate you, only fear you, for what they don't know or understand

insead of enjoying the differents that ppl have, they just ignor it or just cant belive that such a 'thing exsites'. well they live in there own fantsy world if they dont want to belive that there are gay ppl wether they like it or not.

whoa.
scary man... i'll admit that.

I've heard almost countless sotries of jumping's and stuff like that to gay men i know, or are friends of friends. I'll say one thing, some can hold themselves, and others are sent to the hospital. no i'm nto trying to scare you more, and i'm not gonna be like everyong else in here and say be you...
no.
i'm gonna say that you calm down a bit.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't have your individuality, but in a life threatening situation, you gotta learn how to keep your cool and health, rather then just be yourself, just to get beaten up.
After highschool, or once everyone gets used to the idea, i'd suggest hat you start dressing the appearence you want.
But you know, it's not what you look like that amkes you who you are, but rather what you've got to say or think.
think about it... in this situation, being yourself is a bit dangerous. i don't wanna hear about a friend of mine getting hurt. but what i've said is what i think

no matter what, someone is going to hate you. even if you were straight. if someone hits you, you can either tell someone or you can fight back. if they are so pissed off at you, just cuz of something you have no control over, then they are the ones that need help, not you.

i go to a catholic school. i get picked on a lot at my school for being bi. and a few teachers know i am bi, but they are cool and havent even told me that they know, though i know they do know. and my girlfriend and i can be seen making out whenever a teacher's back is turned, we dont really care what other people think of us. we have to wear uniforms, but even so, i have the bi flag pinned on my bookbag. people yell at us when we make out, but that just makes us laugh.

My personal opinion is there is being proud to be gay,
There is dressing to the sterotype of being gay to assure ones self that you are the sexuality you feel;

(Please bare with me, there is a point to what i want to say and it is meant to help you not an attack on your problem)

Being gay isn't about what you wear, how you dress, or how you behave, the be all and end all of homosexuality is the same as hetrosexuality ... who you love and what happens within your private life, STAYS private and personal to you .....

i'm proud of who i am and do not associate with people who have problems with my sexuality, but then, i don't tend to tell people straight away about being a homosexual, because by making it an important issue, makes it a *thing* that other people can use to their own benifit.

It's a part of a person, not something in a panto for others to boo and hiss at....
i personally don't make it obvious that i'm a lesbian but i don't hide it in conversation with friends

Your homosexuality is no business of teachers or students, no one has a right to tell you who you should be , within your >>>personality<<< and what makes you, you.

If prejudice children have made threats to beat you up then that is something you need to sort out with an adult figure for advice and also so they can watch out for you !

Teachers are there to teach and protect you within the school enviorment!( sorry im not a great speller)

my second type of point is and please don't think i'm patronising you because i really don't wanna do that;

But maybe you are going through a conflict of idenity ?? that's to do with the way you dress, talk, walk, behave.... You're finding you ???

It's like the on going boring war between.... emo? and goths? and metalers? and rappers? and hip hop? and pop? etc

Different fashions and everyone attacks each other for being different.
and maybe the way you are behaving (and it's not a bad thing at all) is different and it seems to be human nature for people to be afraid of what is different.... and when youre afraid of something it also seems human nature to go for the "best" line of defence.... hatered!

Maybe you should see if you could find some type of support network away from school and home life, like a youth group or something?

When i was 15 i went through every phase of experimenting with my idenity on a whole, the way i dressed, the way i talked, all of it was an experiment... and embarrasing experiment but what i needed to do,
At 22 i'm still trying to find myself and i have no doubt in my mind i'll still be doing it @ 40 and 70 and so on,

What i think i'm tryina say is the way you dress shouldn't just say "HEY I'M GAY" it should show the whole personality of you and if other people dont like it then it's tough you shouldn't dress to be proud of being just gay, they way you dress talk act and live life should say "i'm proud of who i am completely" not just one insignificant part of you that really is your personal business, i hope this helped you and didn't go over your head and i hope you don't feel i've attacked you with this post! good luck and take care and no one has a right to make you feel small! x x

i go to a school known for a large amount of homosexuality so we dont have that problem.
people are just jerks. people used to try to beat me up cause i was quiet and a bit creepy cause of it. they just want a target, for no reason. the teachers even talked about it. but i stood up for myself (shouted back sweatdrop ) and now its ok. perhapse you should be assertive.
im straight but i understand.
also people are just closed minded. one of my friends from kindergarden hates me now cause she learned i like one girl, just one, only one. we never talk anymore.

moral of the story... people suck eggs.

I never thought I be the one writing something like this but is have gay pride really the best and safest thing? Is letting the world know your proud of who you are worth going to school in fear? Should I be ashamed of my self for asking everyone this? Well.... before I go on here is my situation. This school year I have changed greatly I am now the person you would see in the hall and think "Oh it's that gay kid." Well what happened is it started as a joke. If you saw my recent picture in the picture section that?s what I started going to school dressed like. I then advanced to a rainbow arm ban. Pants I started wearing are cloths I bought from a all women?s shop, they are even tighter then the ones in the picture. My hair changed so one side is covering my eye and the other is in a little pig tail. I wear eye liner on my visible eye and I have a rainbow belt I wear everyday with my arm band. When I walk my hips shack when I talk I talk weirdly. Well now then slowly I became the center of attention in my school. Everyone knows me and I get talked about all around by everyone. Well it's not gotten to they point teachers are even talking about me. Now when I finally thought I was loved by everyone after random people ran up to me in the hall asking to take a picture with me (Happened twice already) but now it's come to the point where my teacher told me I should stop. Students Hate me to the point that they want to beat me up. And its lots of teachers telling that to my teacher. Now I am so scared of what to do. Please should I change back or is it too late? I need someone's help please! I don't know what to do.


Highschool is tough. Everyone is always trying to fit in and be popular - so much so that many find it hard to discover who they really are.
Then of course there are the brave kids who do otherwise. They slowly start to develop as a person and stand out more. This will always attract attention - more often bad than good. But the majority of the time you will find that they are just acting that way out of their own insecurities.

Being gay in this day and age is still hard. There is alot more social acceptance than what there has been in the past, but there are still those that think it may be 'wrong'.
Where-ever you go you will always encounter someone who doesn't like the way you look, or talk, or act, gay or not.

The majority of these students probably don't hate you at all, but your different and some people see being different as a threat.

At the end of the day it's up to you alone to decide how you dress and act, no-one elses. The teachers most likely don't want any sort of bullying to arise out of this. It may seem like they are trying to get you to be someone that your not, but the majority will probably just have yours and your fellow students welfare in mind.
