writes:I'm Gay myself but I act and dress so camp. Currently in the closet at my old school I used to get teased and called the f word, or constantly being asked if I was gay or not. I hate the way I act and the way I dress, but I don't know any different. How would you suggest that I change my mannerisms and act more normal/like the average teenage boy?(Please don't say accept yourself for who you are, I'm fine with being gay but I'm not fine when I'm acting like the typical stereotype of the feminine gay)Thanks for answering ?

You can always change your dress sense to a degree, but to change the way you act is next to impossible in the long term, you may be able to keep it up for so long but you'll end up hating yourself even more for not being you. Along with the fact that people will probably see through it as you will slip up time to time. I don't believe that you should feel like you have to change to fit in with the norm. You may dislike the way you act, but I can assure you pretending to be something you aren't will be very strenuous to keep up and will be a bigger burden.

I would be making you become a fake, phony person which is always hated by everybody. You don't like yourself.....and you are too worried abt what the next person has to say! Why do you have to be a different guy than who you really are? You still are going to be ridiculed. Even if your image was made up like a sexy cool stud, you will still be ridiculed. If you really must have an answer, try to watch your body language, tone of voice, and mannerism.

 The problem is that it is who you are. You can't pretend to be something you're not, people see through it.
