They call me a fag.

I look like your average straight popular guy. But my problem? I live on the streets.

Education is all I wanted in my life. I'm a computer nerd. Or was, at least. Now I roam the streets, desperately in search for food or shelter.

You would say a 16 year old boy doesn't deserve this.

You know why I am in this state?

I'm pansexual.

It was very hard for me when I told my dad. He sat there, silent. When my mom came in, she asked what was going on, and my dad said for me to tell her.

They were both frozen for a bit.

"I failed as a parent" were the last words I heard from my mom before she kicked me out of our mansion in Alabama.

Ever since, I roam the streets of Montgomery, wondering when I will be able to live, if ever, the way I did before.

I used to be very strong looking. I was a smart popular guy who had great grades. People called me 'ceps. Now I never get to see these people again. Turns out my parents cancelled my advanced learning plan. I now am without food, without parents, without shelter, or even a place to sleep.

It's so sad how parents feel as if they failed as a parent.

This is me now: Scrawny, alone, hungry and jobless.

I tried to apply for a job at McDonalds to give me a little money. They wouldn't take me.

BECAUSE THEY KNEW.

So now I'm hopeless.

What do I do now?
