I've always felt like I should have been a girl when I was born, and I feel wrong as a guy. I'm 16 and in 10th grade. I just feel like I can't tell my parents or friends, cause they would freak, and I just feel like I'm stuck living with this feeling. Anybody have any advice on what I should do?
NyadesRoadGhost answered Wednesday December 20 2006, 10:18 pm: You're not alone. I know several people who feel that they've been born the wrong gender, so there's nothing wrong with you at all. It's just the way you think and feel. If you're not ready, you don't have to tell anybody. You can take your time getting others used to it, or you don't have to tell anyone at all. But what concerns me is the fact that the fear of what others would think makes you want to not feel this way anymore. You are the only person you should listen to. If being a girl sounds right to you, that's all that matters. Try not to let someone else's opinion sway you from what you feel is right.
Just remember, don't be afraid of what you're feeling. I hope everything comes together for you :)

If you don't feel comfortable telling anyone, then I would just leave it as is. But it sounds to me like you kind of want to get it out. Although I'm not sure if telling people will help you accomplish that. They may just ask you to see a therapist. Or they may be supportive. That, I cannot answer. But whatever decision you make, of course think through what you will say, and more importantly, WHY you are saying it. Tell whomever exactly how you feel, and why you are telling them: for them to get you help? for them to just listen? so they don't feel obligated one way or the other. Well, I hope I helped, and I hope it works out!

hey you asked me another question and i dunno where to answer it so i'm just gonna do it here, i hope you get this--
go with jeans, thier easy to pull off and won't make you stand out. you don't want anything too flashy or tight, so try a tank under a zip up hoodie, you canlt go wrong with those. As for shoes, its too cold for flip flops so i would say sneakers or an alternative shoe, like berks, uggs, or clogs. good luck, and message me if you need anything else.
