Teasing !Please I beg you help me as soon as possible!
Question Posted Wednesday January 14 2004, 12:09 pm
Hello there,
I will get straight into the subject!There are 6 boys in school that tease me all the time .They call me sissy ,cocksucker etc.I am a boy 14 years old and I am gay!But I don't want them to tease me.On the other hand I won't say anything to them ,just ignore them,because I am afraid they might hit me.Please suggest as many solutions as you can think of!
As long as they're just name calling its not that damaging but from experience I know that it can be very upsetting.
Have you 'come out' properly or are they just guessing? If you have only just told people then they might be reacting like this out of shock.
Of my friends that are gay I don't know any that dont get some hassle for it- usually from people they don't know or don't really care about. they just laugh it off unless it is particularly offensive. As you get older they should become more mature and people will be more accepting.
The boys might feel threatened by your sexuality- try to see how they might be feeling.
Are there any other gay guys in your school?: why not talk to them and see how they coped?
I'm sorry not to have been more helpful; write again and let me know how its going and I'll give as many suggestions I can think of.
