ok well i listen to my chemical romance and green day and all these other punk bands, and everytime i listen to them my bros are like \"they are so gay, they look gay, they laugh gay. \" and all this other bull crap. well i mean i just get really ticked off and i just go in my room and slam the door. plus like when im talking to my best friend mikey (who is a little on the feminin side) my brothers are like oh my gosh he is so freaking gay. like one time i was talking to him on aol and i said hey boy and he was like \"hey gurlie, whats up? and then later on i told him i learnt a new trick on my skateboard and he was like oh my gosh thats soooo awesome!!! and my brothers were just sitting there calling him gay. which another thing. my whole family thinks there is some huge issue with homosexuality. i mean i dont get whats the big deal. i mean no im not homo but i have no problem with other people being like that. i mean my dad is all \"well you should be who you are and not care what other people think\" and if who you are is being gay or bisexual then so be it. but i mean anyways how do i get my family and my brothers to stop critizing all these people and calling them bi or gay. i mean i\'ve tryed talking to them and then they\'re all (well u just have an obsession with them and you dont want us talking about your \"precious friends, or your precious my chemical romance\" so talking doesnt help, and i dont wanna be a snitch or nothing. so what can i do???? thanks so much in advance.
believe me your not going to get them to stop as long as your bothering with them they are going to keep doing it, so i think the best thing to do is to try and ignore them when they are behaving like that, and besides its an everyday situation where people make fun of other people i'm sure you've done it sometime in the past, i know i have done it. people also have their opinion about things and people so don't let their opinion get you angry and that kind of stuff.
you could also try seriously telling them how you feel when they do it. [ TryMe's advice column | Ask TryMe A Question ]

Brother's.....well that is a different story. Brothers and sisters always tease each other. And that sucks. But I guess they are entitled to their opinion too. I do know this for sure.....if you don't REACT when the dis your music, or your friends, they'll soon stop.
Listen, try it for three days, just don't react, just say'whatever" or whatever it is that kids say today, and go about your business. Ignore them, (they hate that) So try it, and see what happens. When you don't react to their comments, there won't be any fun in it anymore.
Sooner or later, you are going to learn this lesson, and this is how you will react when you are an adult to these kinds of things, so start now and save yourself alot of trouble.

If that doesn't work you just have to learn to ignore it...It seems hard but it's not as bad as you'd think it is [ superstarblue89's advice column | Ask superstarblue89 A Question ]
