Ashley, you shouldn't worry about what anyone thinks. There is nothing wrong with you. No one can help who they fall in love with or are attracted to.

I say hold your head up high and don't let what anyone else says bother you. Be true to yourself and don't try to be someone you aren't, this is not going to make you happy and will more than likely make things worse.

In the end it's not the opinions of others that you should be worried about, it's how you think of yourself that really counts. You are you and you shouldn't have to change who you are to please other people.

I would go back to your guidance counselor and have a frank discussion with them, by the seems of it the guidance counselor may not have understood fully what you're going through. If you don't want to talk to the person then confide in your friends, I'm sure they will support you no matter what you do.
