I always knew there was something different about me compared to other boys in elementary school. I had always thought how there were either the boys who play sports at recess or the creative games for the imagination I didn't have. I never fit in either category. I was the boy who all the girls loved to hang out with; the "ladies man".
I always got called gay, fagot, etc. just because I would rather hang out with the opposite sex. I would say that this led me on to question my sexuality.
A couple years went by and I was in middle school where you get judged about everything you do. I made some friends and these friends are who introduced me to a new guy. He was openly gay and I felt like in some way I need to talk to him, so I did. We talked about many things like soccer and then I brought up about how people treat him since he is gay. He said "Alec, no matter what you do, where you are, or how successful you are there will always be people trying to bring you down; you just shouldn't sink to their level and you should reconized that it is your life not their's. " After this I became a bit more comfertable accepting who I really was.
When I told him about me he immediately was happy because he thought that no one would come out of the closet. We kept talking and established a friendship and one day he wanted to hang out at his house. I was afraid that this ment something about being in a relationship. He told me that we might cuddle if I wanted to, so I felt very uncomfortable and told him I had some other things to do. He didn't believe me and seized being any sort of nice to me. I didn't talk to him for a year after that.
