Be Free

This is chapter 14 of my life, so its based on truth. When I turned 14, and when I stared 8th grade most of my friends came out as "gay" "lesbian" "bisexual" or "pansexual." I at the time had no clue what any of that was except for gay and lesbian. Everyone knows that religion interferes with sexuality and screws it all up. Growing up in a Christian environment and going to Christian school all the way up until 7th grade is kind of hard. In 3rd and 5th grade I had slight feelings towards my own gender, and boy if I ever told anyone that, that's like setting a house on fire. My parents would flip. Be Free is about me (Kayla) trying to find my way through life of "who I am and what I am."
