I used to be a regular church-going Christan and in many ways I still am. Somehow though, I made the mistake of falling into sin (as all of us do) and having a difficult time getting out of it...or at least ridding my mind of worrying thoughts. Anyways, in high school, I somehow made the mistake of falling into a homosexual-type lifestyle. At first, it was nothing, but then I began to have closer feelings for other men of my age. I now see that this was probably because I really didn't have a clear idea of who I was in Christ. Anyways, being gay in high school drove me crazy! EVERYWHERE I turned there was persecution for who I was...or who I had become...I couldn't take it anymore! I was so mad at everyone! I mean, I had given my HEART AND SOUL to that school system and the people in it over the years...and now, now they wanted to treat me like that? Anyways, it's obviously from my writing that I'm angry...I suppose that's all part of this healing process. Anyways, I now want to be free of all these nagging thoughts about high school and everything. I'm over it. I really am. I really have no one to blame except myself. Anyways, thank you for any input or insight you may have. God bless!

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

That was then. Try to put the past behind you, though it is difficult. Pray a lot about it, friend. I'm in high school now, and I try to remember things now won't matter much later in life.
--The best advice I can give is to pray. I'll pray for you too. God bless!

I had a bad time at school, but my biggest problem was not being able to conform and having too much pride and ego. I think that you have to get with people who see past the nitty gritty stereotypes and accept you for who you are. And if they don't, get away from them quick smart. Talk to your parents about their childhood, follow their advice and then hate them for it. NoNo not the last part about hating them. lol.
