No - don't worry - Being gay is what you bring from birth - not something that you change over by moving in the society. There are many reasons for you to be gay. It is not wrong - basically that is what you are. If you believe in God, keep praying, because what is mentioned in the books are not 100 % or even 25 % accurate for that matter.

NO!!!! Well have you stoped following the commanments Jesus gave us? No? Then stop thinking this!! Have you sat in front of GOD and said you reject HIM? No? Well then stop treating yourself so poorly - your a person under the protection of GOD. If you hurt yourself, by words or deeds - because of people forcing their will on you, then pray all the harder and GOD will protect you, give you courage, provide friendships to share the burden of the attacks.
You have this already - it called a family. Talk to them - talk to your extended family, the community you live in , the church you attend. There is support everywhere.
Again you are not going to hell, for being you - unless you want to. I forgot you have FREE WILL, and I can not know what your free will and growing older have in store for your future. I can't imagine anyone wanting to go to hell though - so as I'm very old - I can guess you'll choose to follow Jesus, and get to heaven.
JUST PLEASE STOP PUTTING YOURSELF DOWN. YOU ARE GODS CREATION - REMEMBER THAT!

Christians would encourage you to pray through God's son, Jesus Christ. Because he lived a perfect life as a human, he earned the job as our advocate or lawyer before God. So if you pray to God through Jesus, then Jesus stands before God and says, Hey he's with me. So Jesus, reconciles, puts us back with God.
Think of God as pure light, or pure cleanliness. If you just jumped into a vat of bleach you wouldn't hold up very well. So because Jesus is pure cleanliness, then you protect your inperfections by his perfection.
Daniel along with tons of others got in trouble for Praying to God, but God was faithful to give them honor, and glory. So maybe keep your relationship with God a little more private until, they get more used to your beliefs. If you are a very young person, remember you are supposed to still respect adults and be polite.

Could you please define who "they" are? As long as you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior and you believe that He died on the cross for your sins. And you truly repented to Him about your sins, I see no reason why you would be going to hell.
If a non believer told you this, don't believe him or her. For they are not believers of God. They will say and do anything to make you doubt your faith in God and Jesus. Satan is whispering ideas into their minds. Satan is a seeker and destroyer of all of God's people he can.
Good luck and stay strong with God and Jesus. The rewards are out of this world...the rewards is to live in paradise for all eternity.

NO ONE and I mean NO ONE can tell you wether you are going to hell or not.Beleive Jesus died for your sins and repent and Only God can make that decision. NOT 1 person on earth can make that decision.

a true believer need not be concerned about hell, if youre unsure then ask God to reveal to you if you are truly saved and if not make it genuine

If you have received Jesus Christ as your savior and do your best to live your life, the way he told you to, then NO, you're not going to hell.

I am assuming that if you are a true christian and trust in the bible that they place so much stock into---then no...according to the christian beliefs you will not.....
