Hi Sneak,
It is incredibly hurtful when our loved ones don't support us. Their non-support can come in many different forms.

Hahaha!!! I’m in India. How will you help me? Lol. I don’t wanna go to be here. I don’t. It’s very lonely and I won’t say a word to anyone. I have no idea what I should do. What do I do?SoumTj, 23, New Delhi
I have been an open gay for almost a year and my parents are very Christian and hate the fact that I am gay. My mom went on myspace, I don’t know how but she saw who I am currently dating and confronted me saying she would transfer me to another school. I...Justin, 16, NorthridgeCA

I'm a lesbian and I know I am, but why do I feel so sad about it. I HATE MYSELF FOR IT AND SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE. I've tried it both ways and I'm just so happy with girls. I know I like it.Cristina, 15, GA
Hi, I was directed here from Teen Line. They said if I needed more help to try here. You see, I am gay and knew since I was 10. At 13, I told my best and only friend in my town I was gay (in my town I don't ever remember any one being gay). At 15 me and...Jak, 17, Rocky FordCO
I am thirteen years old and I am bisexual. I have a best friend who is also bisexual and I like her. But my other friends have been telling me I will go to hell if I am still bisexual. I really don’t want to go to hell but I can’t get over my feelings for...Mariah, 13, SeminoleOK
