This is going to sound really stupid but how do I star peoples questions? I have had this lap top for 5 months and I am still just dabbling. I really must get some lessons so that I can understand how it all works.
I put it in this categorie because I feel slightly less embarrassed asking Seniors as I am one myself

Ok, here goes.
I am 17 and I'm gay, though I've only told a few very close friends. I had my eye on this guy at School for a while now (We're both in Year 11) and I really genuinely beleived he was gay. He always dressed very well, alot of people suspected it, he spoke nicely and was just a really nice guy. Most people at School had suspicians he was gay, it wasn't just me.

So after a few days of getting to know him better I decided to tell him I was gay and had feelings for him. So, as he walked off to the bus, I told him I was gay and sort of liked him.

Honestly, his face went bright red, I thought he was going to hit me. I said, "I'm sorry if I'm wrong, just tell me to F&*& off". He said "Let's go with that" and walked away.

Right now, I feel terrible, sad and scared. I really thought he was gay, maybe he is? I am just so scared to go to School tomorrow. It was right at the end of the day. What have I done?

I'd really appreciate your advice, thoughts and comments. Thnks

I don't consider myself super hot or anything, but I'd say I'm pretty attractive. Anyway, whenever I see an ugly guy checking me out / staring at me / trying to get my attention, it just annoys me and kind of offends me. I feel like they think they have a chance with me, which implicates I'm unattractive enough to be in their reach. Do you think this offense I take is valid?

I am a 22 year old guy...in college... and I am gay. I honestly do not feel comfortable in the body I am in. I want to physically look like a girl. But I am debating wether or not to do it. I really think I was born in the wrong body. When I see a girl I admire them because they are my role models...I would like to become one of the. Some of you might think that this is not right but if you have negative opinions, you can keep them. I am sure of who I am and just want positive opinions on what I can do.
And please...I do not need moral or religious advice...so please don't give me that.

I wonder if anyone is in the same boat as I am. I was always really shy growing up and to this day I am still very shy. In school I never really talked to people and I mostly stayed to myself. To this day I only have a small # of friends I talk to. I am still living with my Family because I have not met anyone yet. My biggest thing is that I stayed with my family because I don't want to live alone or be alone. Once I was out of school I jumped right into a job and I moved up and I am the youngest one to hold the position that I have. I am well known in the company that I work for. But I still feel so empty that my life does not really mean anything because I really don't have anyone to share life with. I tried a number of things to meet people and it just start to panic. I am at a point in my life where I am so sick and tired of being alone. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The one thing i thought would never happen to me has happened. My boyfriend cheated on me. He slept with someone else when i was at work, he said he was totally wasted when it happened. He told me 3 days after it happened and i totally freaked. He's really sorry and i belive him when he says he still loves me, and i forgive him and everything but i feel like i never want him to touch me again...things were going so great with us and he totally f*cked it up. I really want us to be okay but i can't totally shake off what he's done...does anyone have suggestions on how i can just move on and not think about whats happened? Because i just want to forget about it. I can't even sleep in the same bed with him i keep picturing him with someone else.

I married a quadriplegic because I loved him. He married me because I was young, strong, & able to take care of him. I didn't get that for a long time. If he had ever really loved me, we would still be married. But, he lied to me. I divorced him so I could find the love I deserved. Despite the fact that I wasn't the one who lied, I was considered the (bad guy). Because I was what was then called able-bodied, & I left him, I was wrong. Our other disabled friends wouldn't talk to me. Bigotry doesn't have to be related to color to be wrong. Why doesn't the caregiver have the same rights to love, happiness, & respect?

When I see nature programs with images of the herds of antelopes, wildebeast and elephants running across the African plains, too often those shows are interrupted by commercials for charity groups seeking to aid millions of starving African children. North America was once covered with herds of bison and antelope, but those grass lands now produce food which feeds billions of people. The bison did not become extinct, but there that land was turned over to human cultivation, and the size of the herds was greatly reduced. The only way to solve human starvation in Africa is to reduce these herds and begin mass cultivation of the African plains. Liberals need to make a choice. People or animals?

i started asking you questions because i want to know why you don't believe in God. and excuse me, i am not a Christian... I don't have to be in a specific religious group to believe in God. It's not what you say that gets you into heaven, it's the things you do and the loyalty you have to the Lord. The only reason you don't believe in God is because you all expect Him to be there every time you want something. I think you let Him down more than he lets you down... you just don't see it. so what do you have to say now?!?!

I may be wrong, but I think this is something that we can all agree on: for better or worse we support our nation.
If we do not like it, we change it.
If we cannot change it, we leave it.

Our flags, the cymbols of each of our proud counties are now being banned as disruptive?! This needs to stop!

In the movie Wedding Wars, it showed that many things such as florists, hair stylists and other stereotypical “gay” professions would come to a grinding halt. It offered a funny look at a realistic situation.

What do you think will happen if one day all of us were to just call in “gay” and refused to return to work until we get equal rights? We are everywhere and some of us are rather influential! I think if all of us were to call in “gay," the world just might come to a grinding halt. Or is this wishful thinking on my part? Maybe our straight allies would want to join us?

Just a hypothetical question. Be creative! Be funny! Be rude if you must! Just be true to yourself when answering this question. And finally, PLEASE keep your Jesus off my Pen*s
