p.s. i use the term fags in the nicest, least discriminatory way.you'd be surprised how many fags are in your grade, if you feel this way.. it all comes out years later.
I totally agree, im a bisexual in year 12 now, and came out around about year 9 or 10. And being still at that slightly immature age, it wasnt that widely accepted... but wasnt ever used against except in an arguement.there were a few homosexuals in my year, the girls who turned out to be gay were completely undetectable, yeah they were a bit tomboyish and player soccer and stuff, but that was fun and cool and other girls were sporty aswell at my school.
The guys were mostly easy to spot, none of them were out in the open, but most of them acted a teeny bit different, seemed to hang with girls a lot more, and basically set my gaydar right off.
There was only one guy i didnt predict to be gay who turned out to be i found out years later after our friendship had faded [as they do after highschool], he had a girlfriend and everything and he was in my social circle, played sports, chilled with the guys. He was a tiny bit different in that he still liked pokemon and cartoons and stuff like that[[he is a really talented artist, i think he is working as a cartoonist now or something] but he was fun to joke around with and that, never did anything disrespectful to me etc. I kinda feel a bit put off that he didnt let me know for whatever reason, like he thought our friendship would change or some shit i dunno, but i also understand.
basically if you are gay i can understand your reasons for hiding it during school, but i really wish the world wasnt like that, and consider letting your closest friends know so they dont cop a big shock when it comes out after school.

And, i first confided in my 2 best friends - 2 girls - and its steps like that which help you come out. It really isnt such a big deal like everyone makes it seem.
Having said that, it's not easy, you may cop some shit... i still do, but you rise above it.
So segregation is the answer? Great. That *always* turns out wonderfully...I think we should have an all-gay school... Sort of, like... seperate them from everyone else..
Yeah, I often find myself in high school really depressed. I look at all the young kids walking by, but none of them like me. A lot of them run away. After school, they cross the road to avoid me. Some kids say mean things and call me a "fag" amongst other things.i started this thread because i want to know how other gay people feel about themselves in high school.
