Very adult style of writing. I've never known any 18 year old with such developed and nuanced writing skills.
Tradition for tradition's sake makes no sense to me either. The real world impact of a name change is minimal. Do what works for you.
There's an prayer I see often in various versions, but it's basically "God, grant me the wisdom to understand and accept what can't be changed."...
I'm not sure how old you are, but if you're still coming through puberty you might want to try to get your doctor to prescribe hormone blockers to...
Lie - for now, until you finish college. I've read the entire thread, and it's clear there is no easy, wonderful, perfect solution to your...
Sounds like you already have it sorted. Bi guys don't have the same impetus to come out that gay guys do, so the closet is a viable option. This...
To your three questions - yes, yes, and YES!
If you're sure (and it sure sounds like you're gay), just do it. Things will likely get better and in a few years you'll look back and wish you'd...

I'm not sure there is any "category" for this, or that there even needs to be. Some people just have a lower sex drive than others, and this has...
His kind is stupid, uneducated, and hateful. Not very much like Christ was alleged to have been or to have preached. I also love so-called...
All the research I've read provides no hint that sexual orientation actually changes. However, there's plenty of evidence that humans learn about...
What you're stating here is the original psychiatric definition of homophobia - the fear of being, or being perceived as, homosexual. It's far...
Let it go for now. Get to university and live openly. Relax a little. Your mom may have a point, actually. Don't make a big deal of it, unless and...
Andre a, it sure sounds like you are a trans-boy (I know some people won't like that term, but many prefer it for convenience.) I've helped many...
A note about my post above - the blog engine attributed the quote at the top to me - it was actually a quote from Fallingdown7. ---------- Post...
Hi K, The good news is that your story is relatively common. Teens (especially gay or bi ones) initially have a difficult time telling the...
In the end it comes down to this - your future happiness vs. a family connection. If the family connection is strong and supportive in other...
