I don't know if this is the appropriate thing to write, so here goes. I just came out to my parents last month. Needless to say they didn’t take it well. I’ve been spending the last few years coming to grips with who I am and feeling okay about myself. Now in one conversation with them, my parents have made me depressed, ashamed and suicidal. I see the hurt in their eyes and I just want to make it go away. They wanted me to see a shrink, to find my 'true' sexuality. I felt like if I go I'm admitting I’m 'sick' and need help. If I didn’t then I would hurt them more. School has been a waste. I can’t concentrate. My mom told her friend who told her son, now everyone at school knows. They all talk behind my back. Sometimes I get hit. I can’t even think. The only good thing is that my teacher told me about Kaleidoscope. Right now it’s the only place I feel like I’m me. That’s it. That’s all I’ve got. —Lisa,15
