The problem is, in elementary, jr high, and high schools there are still kids who think it's cool to pick on gays because that's what they're conditioned to do by parents, etc. The adult world is a lot easier to exist in because people can figure out where they fit in and surround themselves with likeminded people. :]

Yeah, it is.
And I agree, gay kids today have so many different resources, programs, etc. So it definitely helps them out alot. But I almost feel like, since there are more resources and it's more openly discussed, there is also alot more hate. You know? I had a really bad bullying experience because I was gay. I got run out of the school, attacked, etc.
But yes, I notice alot of bullying today, and the gay suicide rates really show you just how bad it is.
That's why I'm so glad I'm less than a year away from being legal. Adults usually are more accepting of it, but you do have the bad apples of the bunch that are totally against it.

Haha. Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes I feel like I have less of a sex drive than others, but I think what it is for me is I know I can pleasure myself if I really need to, and its less of a hassle for me to do that than to have to rely on someone else, but if I'm in a relationship I'm more open to having sex because it's not just sex for the sake of sex.

Yeah, I completely agree with you! I'm the same way. It's kind of sad, but I think I'm better at pleasing myself than others are.
It's hard to explain without being too explicit though. But yes, I can definitely relate to the last part! I'm not really into hookups, I'd much rather be dating someone when I have sex with them. It makes it
so much more enjoyable and just all-around better.
and I was ok
