Imagine this:
After 6 years of bullying, life goes on to send You into a mental hospital. Anger, depression, anxiety, bipolar, and more got you there. Suicide wasn't an option. Your family was falling apart. You got out and were terrified. One wrong move, you'd be back. School started, you were so different. Quiet, shy, jumpy, afraid. Making new friends was harder than ever. You weren't sure who to trust, after being told to slit your wrists and die last year by your best friend.
Hard to think about right? Well, it's not hard for some, because they have had this happen. People think they understand what others are going through. THEY DON'T. Kids and teens are afraid. I have a friend, He's a year older than me. He is like my brother. He is scared to tell his parents and friends that he's gay. His family doesn't support it. He thinks his friends will hate him. He's been bullied for other things, he doesn't want to risk it. He's terrified that his family will disown him. He told me because of me and my moms. He shouldn't have to deal with this. He shouldn't be scared to be himself. He should be allowed to love who he wants and not be judged. Most of the LGBT+ youth are afraid to express themselves.
Coming out as pansexual and gender fluid was the hardest thing I've ever done. So many people believe that you have to love a specific gender and you can only be the gender you are born. IT'S A LIE! You can be and love whatever gender you want. Because I have gay moms, It was easy to come out as pans. Coming out as gender fluid though, was extremely stressful and nerve racking. I was so scared to tell my moms, as I didn't know how they'd react. But eventually I did.
