TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
Ok so i've written to teen line a bunch of times and everytime its with an enhanced version of the past question or trouble i've had but i have finally decided to put them all together so i can get one straight forward answer. so here it goes. im 14(ill be 15 in a month or so) and i consider myself bi-sexual(although at times i make myself think im gay) im in 9th grade and ive sort of always had to deal with a vast majority of my classmates or just friends friends calling me gay or a fag but its never really bothered me just becuase i know my own friends love me for who i am(or arent , they dont know im bi but i dont think they would care) but um now that im in high school i didnt think that i would have the name calling problem as much just because i thought people would mature. im guessing its to early to tell.. anyways ive always been kind of um alone, and ive looked for ways to talk or get together with people having the same problem but uh just some things i guess you should know i wont tell anyone(adults at school , parents are against homosexuals) i wont talk to the counselors at school i wont join the straight gay aliance at school because then people and friends would find out i wont tell my parents and i wont tell my friends also i cant tell my parents i need a therapist or w.e because they would ask me why so i really dont know what to do for support i mean what ever it is my parents cant or my friends i mean in the the end i do plan on leading a normal life with a wife and children but just at this specific point of my life i need some support.

TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey,
I understand how it could be frustrating to feel like you're not being supported by your friends and family. It seems that you're unsure about your sexuality, which is completely normal. Talking about it could relieve a lot of the stress your feeling, though. You said you're not comfortable telling your parents or counselors which is okay. But you did mention that your friends are supportive of you right now. Without telling them anything personally about you, would you be comfortable talking to them about the subject of being gay or bi-sexual? Maybe if you know a little more about their point of view on the issue you would be more comfortable talking about it with them. You also said that you don't want to tell any adults which is also understandable, but maybe there's a friend's parent that you're really comfortable with. Or even a favorite teacher that you get along with, not necessarily someone trained in therapy. Having an adult you can confide in can be really helpful in lifting the weight you've got on your shoulders.
