Hi Sneak,
It is incredibly hurtful when our loved ones don't support us. Their non-support can come in many different forms. It can be outright rejection, refusing to acknowledge who you are as an individual, or using a part of who you are to refer to others in a negative light. It's hard to imagine the pain you must...
My life is just so horribly, terribly messed up and I just don't know what to do. I like guys a lot, but I can't like guys and be happy at the same time. I mean, guys are gonna hate me for being gay and I fear they will reject me. I just want to be normal...Patrick, 14, St. LouisMO

Okay, I am not a teen. I am not trying to live a teen life. I am dealing with a lot of issues: being molested, being gay, losing my job, suicide thoughts, all of it. I hurt and I do not know what else I can do. I do not expect an answer as an older guy. I...jag, 48, anonymousAL
I have been with my partner for two years (our anniversary wasn't even a month ago). I feel like she is the one for me and I love her more than anyone I've ever been with. This is the longest relationship I've ever been in, and I felt like things were...Rachel, 19, Cedar ParkTX
