I was made fun of in school and lost all of my friends. I’ve been harassed, mocked, and bullied in public by complete strangers. But the worst emotional damage was caused by my parents. I struggled with this for so many years. When my parents found out that I was a lesbian, they demanded I keep it to myself and to not tell anyone. They were so ashamed of my “decision” (as they called it).
It took a very long time before I came to terms with my sexuality and realized that I no longer give a single fuck about what anyone else thinks about me anymore. While it may not be what you want for your child, parents need to learn that they need to support their children who are struggling with their sexuality. Sometimes, even though they may not realize it, they are the only ones left who their children can look to for support.

Social anxiety isn’t cool.
OCD isn’t cool.
Bipolar disorder isn’t cool.
Depression isn’t cool.
Cutting isn’t cool.
Phobias aren’t cool.
Trauma isn’t cool.
Sleep disorders aren’t cool.
Eating disorders aren’t cool.
They’re real things, they’re scary, and pretending you have them is just fucking obnoxious and an insult.
