TeenHelp - I'm bi and bullied for it

Hi there,

I am going to move this over to LGBT, Sexuality, and Gender Identity because I believe it is more fitting there.

I first want to strongly encourage you to report these bullies. They should NOT be getting away with what they are doing to you. Is there a teacher, guidance counselor, or principal that you can report this to? I know this is really scary, but sometimes you need to take action in order to get people to stop doing something like this. Bullying is illegal in many areas, so the school should have to take action.

These are also people who can help you through what you are going through. This is not something you deserve to go through alone. This is a list of other people who can help you. I know that it is scary to reach out but there are people that honestly care about you and want to see you healthy and happy, so I strongly urge you to reach out. This is also a list of hotlines that you can call, and they can help you work out what is going on.

You mentioned suicidal thoughts so I also want to say that if you ever feel as if you are going to act upon these thoughts, you should tell someone right away or go to the emergency room. Your safety is very important.

Is there an LGBT related club in school or around town that you can join? If so, this is a great way to make friends and even get advice and support from people who have been there. They can tell you what they did to get through it.

This is a list of reasons to live. Sometimes you have to live for the small things and allow them to build up, because big things are coming your way. You have things to do and places to go, people to meet and goals to complete. Don't give that up now. There will be a point where things improve.

You can do this!
