My apologies because this is my second poll in two days. I just want to find out why so many of you were suicidal when you were bullied. Was it because you had problems coming to terms with your homosexuality?

I don't remember anybody , during high school around 20 years ago , being out of the closet.

I was extremely comfortable with my homosexuality. When other kids teased me, for being gay, I mostly played along. Or, I just ignored it. The teasing bothered me very little.

HS is a really rough time in life. The transition from child to adult is tough on ANYBODY. Struggling with your homosexuality can make it doubly hard.
 
OK, let's put a lil different perspective on this.

I'm an old geezer who graduated H.S. in 1963, 6 YEARS before Stonewall.

Back then, NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE WAS GAY IN H.S.

Neither was I, but I guess I must have swapped blow jobs and traded a few fucks with 20-30 other H.S. friends.

I was a different time. It was all under cover of darkness. And certainly, even if there was physical sex, there were absolutely NO RELATIONSHIPS or places to mingle.

We've come a LONG way and I am jealous of the youth today for the freedom and recognition they have. But, there's still a long way to go.
 
I came out my senior year in 2004 and it was well received. Of course, I'm from an ultra liberal city and part of town.

But I'm still pissed I came out so young but didn't get sex till graduating high school. I should have had a cute high school boyfriend romance!
 
Completely unable to accept the fact that I was gay. I wouldn't necessarily even say that I was closeted, it was more that I simply couldn't acknowledge the fact so I convinced myself that it just couldn't be true and that I wasn't hiding anything because there was nothing to hide. Of course the whole time I knew in the back of my mind that all of this was complete bullshit, but I didn't come to terms with that until 2 years after high school.

All of that absolutely destroyed my self esteem for years but in the end it made me who I am so I'm not upset I went through it.
 
Not at all. It was terrible. Everyone called me gay or ask me if I was gay so much, it really bothered me for deep inside I knew they were right, but I feared the consequences WAY too much to tell them that. However, I accepted my homosexuality around 18 and only had came out to my Mother.
 
I totally accepted my sexuality in high school. I just never told anyone.

What they took for granted for being in high school I was denied.

That was a long time ago. I forget....forgiveness is up to God.
 
No one knew and I was afraid someone would figure it out.

So, that would be NO.
 
My Freshmen and sophmore years were HORRIBLE*! I hated school then. People would definitely tease me 'n' stuff. Mot exactly sure if it was always because I was gay, I was kinda just an outcast because I wasn't comfortable with myself. I wore hoodies everyday and had thought somewhat about suicide. BUT, my junior and senior years were different. I still wasn't out of the closet (and still not :/) but people seemed to ease up on me and I became more comfortable in my own skin.

*sidenote: One bad memory I have of sophmore year was in weight training class. These two assholes would always come up to me and try and put me into uncomfortable postions, by asking questions and showing me there chest, etc. What I REALLY hate was that although I stayed by the teacher as often as I could, he wouldn't do SHIT about these kids bugging me. He just sat there. I hated that bastard of a teacher too! Sorry, rant over :/
 
I didn't figure out I was gay until after my college years.

The small town I grew up in didn't really have gays (that I knew of), 'gay' was just a random slur guys used as a derogatory comment to insult each other. And it was some vague thing that no one really knew much about what it was, but no one wanted to be.
 
I was pretty overweight in highschool. My sexual intimacy prospects were pretty nill, so I never really thought too much about it.

I did have a couple 'girlfriends'. but they were really just my friends. I never would have thought they wanted 'anything like that' from me, so I did get accused a few times of being gay from that. My response was usually 'pssh, whatever'

The only time I thought it was all sad is whenever sombody made it out to be. Or else I had no trouble compensating with something else.... like eating lol.
 
My new thesis on why people feel suicidal when bullied.

Ages 14-18. Is an extremely awkward age.

First what everyone goes through

1) Mental and physical changes. The process of turning from a child to an adult is extremely difficult.

2) Everyone is preoccupied with fitting in and being cool

Extra burden on gays.

3) Being gay is most UNCOOL thing in the world and makes fitting in next to impossible.

4)Lots of people to struggling to come to terms with their homosexuality.

To top everything off.........bullies are at their most mean and nasty.

So....off course this would be too much for alot of people
 
I was in the closet and nailing girls left and right. I acted homophobic and am ashamed to say that I was TERRIBLE to anybody who was openly gay. Terrible.

I applaud your candor and honesty.:=D:

We all make mistakes....please don't be too hard on yourself.
 
I voted not at all. Which pretty much sums it up..
 
Not at ALL. When I was in HS, I was this skinny, white, emo looking kid. A bit like Roxy Red.... So I was already picked on for not being macho. The LAST thing in the world I wanted was for anyone to find out I was gay. I would have had to change schools. That was 79 to 81.

As far as I know, NO ONE in my school admitted to being gay. I honestly thought I was the only one. It was a bad time.
 
As Blublud and Audio Tech describe it, things were different 30+ years ago. We had almost a thousand students in the graduating class; not a single one was out.

I, too, thought I was the only one. So I convinced myself (very unconvincingly, in retrospect, LOL) I was straight. Had a girlfriend. The whole nine yards.

So, no, not very comfortable.
