Well Well Well, what can I say about comming out at school, be prepeared for a long message on this as I have a long story....
All of my school life I have been bullied, for no reason twice because of beeing gay, the first time, when I was in jounior school, I wasn't sure if I was or not, and that passed quickly.
The second time was during year 11 and GCSEs, two of my friends knew already and they were fine with it, but I made the up most terrible misstake of texting a friend of mine, why I don't know, saying that I thought he was hot and I wanted him, and that went round the whole school, and then i was called names, had the mick taken out off, and I got to the point of bunking school, I almost walked out once, the teachers knew and did nothing, but I was off school for about a week and when I went back it had died down and there were some friends that spoke to me again, saying that they had to go along with it as they didn't want to get bullied, understandable, and a couple of the girls said they stood up for me, so things got back to normal. I finished my GCSEs with really bad grades, all D-Gs.
College was somewhat better, did get some micky taking but only from the really in-mature students, which from school I toughened up and I didn't let it get to me.
Since then, at work, etc I've had no trouble, or if there is it don't get me down like it did in school. I'm now 20 and more confident then what I was in school. so I suppose that it help me in a way, but if I could change what happend I would do.
