hey my name is winter knight and im 15 years old and im a lesbian.

my story is something like alot of others.

when i got this crush on this girl in my school she was the most beautiful girl ever!!!! where im from it really hard to come out and be who you really are and it hurts to keep it a secret.

 

when i told my parents about me being a lesbian my mom took it just fine but my dad freaked out! he told me that he didnt raise me to be some lesbian and i knew better then that and he kicked me out. and i thought that the owrld would be better off with out me. i tried to kill myself and after that i just kinda shut down.

 

 

but now im back living with my dad and he is okay with it. and i have the best girl friend in the world!! and im living life to the fullest!

Dear Winter,

                It is great to hear about how you overcame your difficult times, and now you are enjoying your life. You have went through some very tough times, and I am so glad to hear things are so much better. You are such a strong person and stay strong.  I am so glad that things have worked out for the better and that you and your dad have reconciled and he’s accepted you. Congratulations for that and I hope you the best! Thank you for sharing your story, and continue to enjoy your life!
