TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
Hi, My name is, well I aint gonna say, but I'm gay and I'm really in a pickle. I have a bro and sis (both very homophobic) and my dad is too. My mum is very loving though. Anyway, I keep looking at gay porn sites and keeping wanting to meet someone really badly! I also dislike wanking. However, I don't know where to find a good guy. In other words, I don't know where to find a boyfriend, and older one. I really want one but i just dont know where to find one. Please help!

TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey, thanks for emailing us here at TEEN LINE. It sounds like you really want a boyfriend and you want acceptance from your family. Talking to your family could really help them understand how you are feeling. Also, talking to a friend, or a trusted adult (like a school counselor) could help you figure out what's going on right now. School is always a great place to meet and get to know people. Brighton and Hove is a helpline for LGBT that you could contact for information. Their website is http://www.switchboard.org.uk/home and their number is 01273 204050. If you ever feel like you need to talk to someone, TEEN LINE is open every night from 6pm to 10pm PST; and our number is (310) 855-4673.
