What should I do?

Submitted by BSblondebabe on Sat, 10/06/2006 - 23:44. Gay Issues and Problems

I'm a 16 year old girl and am gay. I found out that I was this way about 7 and a half months ago. I've been dating my girlfriend ever since but in secret. No one knows about our relationship and I cannot keep this inside of me anymore. I hate lying to my friends and family and I hate that I cannot make myself be "normal". My girlfriend says to just wait until we are 18 and are able to make out own decisions but I feel as if I'm about to explode from the pain of keeping a secret this huge. I do not want to end things with my girlfriend but I hate feeling the way I do. I feel dirty and sinful and cannot help it. I would appreciate any advice that anyone could give to me, whether optimistic or not. Any opinion is welcomed and please do not be afraid to hurt my feelings because I am desperate for answers. Thank you for any advice given.

Under age

Is the reason you can't come out that you are under age for having legal sex in your country? If it is, then you have to obey the law. it is tough, but there it is.
You cannot make yourself "normal" because there is nothing "abnormal" about being gay!! We know that now from advances in neuroscience and genetics.

Its perfeclty normal to be feeling "not normal" :)

Its perfeclty normal to be feeling "not normal" because statistics show that only 10% of the population is gay. The next time you feel like you dont fit, ask yourself this question "Was it an option to be gay? To be sexually atracted to girls rather than boys?"
I am a 21 y.o. gay boy and nobody knows that I am. I can't tell anyone because they are too close-minded and think that I am a freak. But i accept myself the way i am because, well if u cant accept the way you are, you will hate yourself and get depressed and eventually commit a suicide.
My point is that u should accept urself the way it is, since you feel so happy with ur gf and screw what people say. After all if all your friends love you, they would want you to be happy right?
