I am 17 years old, a junior in high school. In recent years, I have come to discover that I am gay. I didn't choose it by any means. Homosexuality is not a choice. I do not want to live life as a gay man. I cannot come out. I come from a religious family, and I would lose many if not ALL of my friends.
When I think of myself later in life, first I think of the ideal life, which I am almost on my way to accomplishing, a family, and a few kids. I cannot come to terms with the fact that I will never have a family.
I have thought about my decision, and I cannot grow up to be gay if there is something I can do about it. I have nothing against homosexuals, I just cannot live that lifestyle. I have been diagnosed with clinical depression and been on and off meds for aboout two years. I think my homosexuality has a lot to do with it.
My question is, is there a way to turn straight? I am not very religious like my family, but I am willing to try anything. I am so confused.
