Homophobes.
I am a STRONG supporter of the homosexuals and transvestites. My best friend is homosexual indeed and he will always remain my best friend.. I'm 14/f by the way. Anyways. I know that about 80% of the people in our school are homophobic and about 50% of them will harm my homosexual friends mentally and sometimes physically. I myself am bisexual but I haven't come out of the closet yet. Not even to my best friend. The thing is that I've lost several friends now since I declared my homosexual friend my best friend. I don't mind because I know that they are too shallow to match up to me. But the problem is that people are starting to tease me and such at school. For instance they ask "Do you uygs do it, you suck him, he's your slave whore, ew, you're friends with a gay guy" etc. It's been going on a lot lately now that I've entered high school. The other day, when I got off the bus, some guys decided to hassal me and one rammed into my chest with his shoulder. I believe that his actions were the result of me being friends with mybest friend (They were teasing him and me on the bus on the way home before I got off). Now I don't know what to do because I know that this situation is bound to escalate to worse situations. I don't and will NEVER drop my homosexual friends. EVER. But the thing is that I'm always hassaled by homophobic people at school and I just don't know what to do about them.

Talk to a teacher or counselor at your school. If you are being physically threatened or assaulted, it needs to stop. It's probably not going to stop if you just ignore it, and fighting back wouldn't be the best of ideas since you'd likely be outnumbered. If you let the adults at your school know about this, they will keep a closer eye on you and the people threatening you so that they can stop things before they start and no one gets hurt. As for the hurtful comments, well those are probably always going to be there. As you get older and have more experience with it, you'll learn how to handle that type of thing better. The comments will probably start to decline, too, once your peers mature a little. Your decision to keep your bisexuality to yourself is a good idea. I wouldn't tell anyone until I was out of high school and only select people after that. It's like throwing yourself in a fire if you do. Nobody needs to know about it yet unless you want to get into a homosexual relationship. I wish you the best of luck and make sure you let an adult at your school know what's going on. Good luck. :)

You don't need to fix yourself, you need to fix those other people.
Stand up to them by being sarcastic.
And, for instance, about the physical harrassment, you should speak to a counselor at school.

Well first of all, I'm really glad you're sticking by your friends no matter what and won't drop them. People are so immature. You'd think by Highschool people would've grown up already. The most advice I can give you is to just ignore them. Like you said, you wouldn't drop your friends, and they're all you need. Who cares what those immature idiots have to say? Their opinion really doesn't mean anything, if they have problems with other humans just because they're homosexual. Anyways, hopefully if you ignore them enough, they'll slowly stop once they realize you don't care, but if they start becoming pyshical with you and your best friend, I would go to the principal and report them before they can do anything to you guys. So whenever they start to tease you, just walk away from the situation and don't bother with a repsonse. That's all they want out of you, is a reponse and for you to get all upset. I hope I helped.

Well hun i absolutely know how you feel!!! I'm 16/f and yes I have a girlfriend. Well first of all let me tell you that what you're experiencing isn't right because I respect your courage and determination. As a bisexual, I put up with crap everyday too. I dont just want to say that you get used to it, but you kind of do. If you don't let it bother you, then eventually they'll stop. They won't find it fun anymore to tease you or your friend. Just try to stay away from them for now. And if they give you crap, just ignore it. I know that doesn't sound very helpful but it will work!! Good luck and if u need any more help with this or gf's or anything feel free to im me...at rikatree2375..i'd luv to help ya some more!
