Greetings from an Asian teenager..

Few questions before I begin to tell y'all my lifestyle..

#1 - Am I Gay? (even tho I may already know what I am)

#2 - Should I continue being gay?

#3 - How can I accept what I am?

#4 - Where could I go that could help myself find my way up? (country)

#5 - Should I continue to hide myself?

*Give opinion if you may

Here goes... My life is as simple as it can be.. A happy family and a healthy life(maybe and maybe not). When do I discover that I'm gay you ask? well, At the age of 13, unexpectedly, I have feelings towards guys back when I saw a picture or something (my memory aren't that sharp anymore) naked.. Back then, I thought I was sick or something... I thought that the feeling I have will just vanish when I grew older... But, Time pass by and the feeling towards men grew year by year.. No body knew that I'm gay till now(age of 17). Anyways, my family are very strong in our beliefs(Christian). And I'm afraid that they'll know who I am cause being gay is a sin (it's in the Bible that my dad told me)... I tried many sites to help me becoming straight.. But all my effort went down the drain.. I am like isolated in my room everyday when I feel lonely.(good thing I have my dogs around to talk to or I'll might end up in despair) Well, being gay in a country where gay/bi/lesbian don't normally seen in public is hard you know... no one to talk to when you're feeling down and depressed.. Now, I'm loose my way of life... And I'm sure I loose track of what I'm intended to say next... well, really appreciate the replies from the people all around the world that are in a similar situation as I am in right now...

Well, thats all of it I guess...

Try to find resources in your city/country for LGBT youth. Many Universities, at least in the US, have an LGBT Alliance organization. If a local university has such an organization, call them. Explain that you are a high school student and that you are looking for some sort of support - either a counselor or an organization - that specializes in LGBT youth your age.

paulofessex agony auntI just really have one main comment at this time.....lose the term 'What l am' its not what, its 'who'

If you are Bi/Gay etc you are still a human being and l'm sorry in my opinion it don't mean a thing about what the bible states about homosexuality

Ppl feel things everyday that may not necesarily be the norm... It doesn't make u that way! If u feed ur mind along that line, then eventually ur consumed by an emotion that overpowers ur sense of reasoning... To assume ur gay bcuz of freaky feelings towards a dude, is not enough... have u tried regular relationships, and the excitement of a woman? maybe u shd try focussing all ur attention in that direction... If after u felt attracted to a man, u jus leaned that way, then u r feeding an insignificant emotion that has now developed into more of a lifestyle...

However, if u are convinced that u are gay, then be true to urself, and accept it!
