Yes, they do. Sounds like you may have been hurt by someone you thought was a friend?

It's true that real friends are hard to find but once you find them they are like gold, you can trust them with anything and you know you can count on them when it matters. It may seem like you're alone sometimes but there is always someone there waiting for when you may need them the most

I have friends who I know I can say it doesn't matter where we are or what we are doing we will always be in touch with each other, we've already known each other all our lives.

I have to say that there are such things in life as real friends. I had not one person to call a friend after years down the streets in my life. I have met a few really good friends in the last two years. I even met one or two here on FG.

There is nothing wrong about being gay...we have several around here...my husbands cousin (actually he has a few) one i love so much, he is the greatest. i have no problem with gay people at all, and at least you are honest to admit, thats a (good) thing, you are okay...you are not ready for marriage though... :-2 don't worry --- be happy!

My Oma once told me it was okay if I was gay.

I told her she had been watching to much TV.

Olly your only 15 which is in my opinion to young to be having sex let alowne making a life style choice such as being gay.

As I have said before there are those who believe in the Bible and those who roll their eyes at such notions.

I have had my knee healed in the name of God and other illnessesnesses can also be healed as well.

"no comment" LOL I had a friend in high school. Lost track of him when he went to jail for grand theft auto.

Anyway he use to always say "Have you ever noticed the comment "no comment" is infact a comment":)

Olly, big hugs to you. We always hear that we need to be true to ourselves - and I agree with that wholeheartedly. What is often overlooked is the cost of being true to ourselves, the pain involved with it, and the loneliness as well.

15 is a rotten age only because you are surrounded with other 15 year olds trying desperately to understand who they are. It takes a bit of maturity to quit lashing out at others when you feel so confused. Sounds like you've reached that maturity. Most of the others will too, in time.

Here is my motherly advice:

When you are feeling the sting of rejection and cruel words, remember that you can (and probably will) leave these people behind as you finish growing up.

You are the only person who gets to define you. The painful things others say and do is a pathetic attempt to control and bind you, to make you conform to their ideas. Their ideas are often rooted in fear, and consequently not worthy of bowing to. You know inside who you are.

No matter how alone you feel, you never really are. There are others who feel as you do, and if you look inside of others, you will find them.

It's ok to be uncommon, to be different, to stand apart from a crowd. It's hard, but then life is hard no matter how a person chooses to live it.

Finally, learn to distinguish your own voice from the voices of others. Recognize the difference between those who truly want to help you (even if their way is not your way), and those who want to pull you into the common crowd because you threaten them with your uniqueness.

Practice understanding and wisdom.

This is only advice, and can easily be ignored if it doesn't appeal to you.

But it's the only way I've found to feel serene about who I am and what I do. Perhaps it will help you in some way, too.

. I generally try to ignore what the bullies say and concentrate on the advice of the people I respect and love.

15 is a bloody rotten age! You couldn't pay me enough to be a teenager again!

I hope that the group of people you respect and love includes yourself.

And with that, I will quit pestering you with annoying words of cheer. LOL

Whoever said that childhood/school days were the best days of your life was sorely mistaken... kids can be mean sometimes
