Thank you
Being a gay and depressed outcast
in high school!!!!!!
I went to two different High Schools my freshman year. I had a few friends but, they later treated me
like crap, and called me names behind my back. Teachers liked me, but I was still was a smart
ass. In 10th grade at the age of sixteen,
I went though bounds of Depression after coming to terms with my own childhood
abuse, and at the same time coming to terms of my sexuality.
The story of how I got
raped is that, as a young child I got raped by a male teenager who lived next door
to my grandma. He took me to his
backyard and forced me to have oral sex with him, by shoving his penis inside
of me, in a truck that belonged to his father. My mom discovered me walking home funny, and
asked me to get ready for a bath, and then I was getting undressed; she discovered my underwear was gone. She called
the cops, but we did not press charges out of pity for the teenager, who was
getting raped by his own fucking father.
I never saw that teenager again
after that night.
For years I blocked
the rape out of my mind. But then the memory of it was so hard to live with, that
it put me in a deep, dark depression. I locked
myself in my bedroom crying, and I never
came out for any reason, besides for using the bathroom and blowing my nose; I never
ate or slept. I thought about committing suicide, but never tried to do
anything that would kill me or put me in the hospital, I would just claw my
skin, and scratch myself to hurt myself.
My family worried about me, begged me non-stop
to come out of my room, take a shower and eat, but I never would. This lasted
for a few weeks. A week or so later, I started seeing a psychiatrist
named Lisa. In the School building twice a week during school hours. I would
miss only a few minutes of class time, and I would to do homework because of
it. I was honest with her about everything
regarding the abuse, and how my family was dealing with me being gay. The first
person I came out to happen to be my aunt Gilda, she was very supportive because her daughter is
a lesbian. But after I told my aunt, she
took it among herself to tell everyone in the family, without my permission, so
after the cat was out of the bag, I started to tell people too. It was hard for my mother and her boyfriend
though, they did everything they could so I could not
read, watch, or talk to gay people if they did not want me too. It was a really bad time for all of us, but
mostly me. I was treated like a criminal just because I
was gay.
The only good part
about the entire mess was that I had people on my side, supporting me 100% at school,
from staff and students. And some of the
students were gay too, so they understood firsthand what I was dealing with. It was not just my mother and her boyfriend Ben
who had issues with me being gay; it was outer family members too. One of my
uncle’s did not want me to tell my cousin I was gay. But I did anyway because I
wanted my cousin to know gay people were ok.
My uncle got mad, and talked to me about how he did not like me going
his back and doing that. Looking back I realized what I did was wrong, I should
have respected my uncles wishes even if I did not agree with it. But I felt I
had to tell my cousin that what I was was not as bad as what my uncle was
telling him it was. And that gay people were just like everyone else in this
hell called life. Every man in my family
have asked me have I ever had sex with a
girl? And the answer is I have never had
sex with a girl, and do not think you have to in order to know if you’re gay or
not. Now some of my family members who used to have trouble with me being gay
have moved on, and some never will.
