Yes! This is me right now.

Age of consent in my state (Indiana) is 16, but the person you are with must be under 24.

Thanks :) I hope we stay together too. At this point, I can't see myself with anyone else.

I know this sounds strange coming from a complete stranger, but you are loved and wanted, exactly as you are. It is not your fault that you are a lesbian. It is not a choice you made. You were born liking women, which is perfectly fine. Your dad loves you, and will most likely accept you for who you are.

That's just how he is. We've been together for almost two years now. I'm in my senior year of high school and he is a sophomore in college. We argue occasionally, but the one time we had a big fight, he sent me a dozen long-stemmed red roses at school with a letter apologizing for our fight. When I got home, there were three more bouquets on my porch, each a different color. He's a great guy and he always manages to remember the little things.

Thanks guys. The guy I had been dating was border-line physically abusive and was emotionally abusive. I was under a lot of pressure from my family to do really good in school and it just all built up. Then one day I was dressed up for one of my friends' birthdays. I was wearing this coral colored long dress and my hair was curled. When I saw my boyfriend earlier in the day, he told me I "never should have put that dress on because I looked like a fat, ugly cow." Well, I'd had enough of his shit at that point and dumped him right there. I was then feeling bad about breaking up with him and doing really bad in one class. I walked into my last period art class, and the guy who sat next to me, whom I had gotten close to over the course of the year, said "You look absolutely gorgeous today." He still has no idea that just being nice to me that day probably saved me from doing something incredibly stupid.

Thanks, I guess. I've never been one to sit around and watch someone pick on people. He had one of my best friends, who is a lesbian, nearly in tears. I took her with me when I left the room, and we went straight to the principal. We got my friend moved to the class of another teacher, and the asshole teacher didn't say another word about it for the rest of the year. He didn't speak to me either.

Yep, really said it. And when he continued to rant about religion and how anyone who has ever had a, in his words, "gay thought" was going to hell, I told him I wasn't going to sit there and listen to him anymore, got up, and walked out.

I mean, seriously, take an English class. Your grammar needs work, megacat3000.

Mine too.

Don't forget clowns. We also don't like clowns.

Some people just don't understand how much money, time, and responsibility goes into caring for a child. My parents have been divorced for 14 years, and since my mom is remarried, my biological father rarely pays his child support because he know I'll be taken care of no matter what. He's $6,000 behind. It disgusts me.
