Answer 1

unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to change minds of the foolish....even if now you said you were straight people would pay no mind they'd still harass you cause of what was once known.....what you CAN DO is keep your head up and don't let a damn thing they say get to you because your better than that.....life is short and i was from a small town too... high school will always be a social game of people thinking they are better than others, but the funny thing is, is that i guarantee you none of those people will be around you the rest of your life...its only high school- what your going thru right now will only make you a stronger person...after your out of high school and out of that shitty town you'll look back and those same people talkin down to you will have gone no where with their lives...the only thing that will change will be them getting married and having kids...in that same small town....trust me and just get out of there as soon as you can because that's not what life is about.....take care and again keep your head up (just to prove a point, them same people think its cool to be hangin around the class that graduated a few yrs ago, right?...them same losers that they will turn into after they graduate cause there no going NO WHERE)

Answer 2

I feel awful for you.

People are nosy by nature. The worst thing about high school is that those attending are basically uneducated in many ways about many things. No one has ever taught them how to behave, let alone with any grace or style. It's not much better afterwards either.

My only suggestion is to face it head on. Hold your head high, because there is nothing you can do to change what has happend.

Each of us is different. Some of it is obvious and some is not.
Soon (I know not soon enough) you'll be lasts weeks news and they will be onto something or someone else.

Oh AMC. I melancholy for you. looks such as you're making first-fee progression socially, whether individually you haven't any longer moved an inch and probability is slipping with the help of your palms like there is no the following day. popping out could be a very inner maximum option and that is now no longer for me or somebody else to declare if, while and how. whether till you do, on the least to those that you form as your friends or purely to one or 2, (probable even women, considering that they may well be waiting to assist you without feeling threatened) you could not be waiting to pass on on your guy or woman desires and needs, by way of fact others who may well be gay won't understand you're able to desire to be too. You sound like an excellent guy. There is often a guy around you that has a weigh down on you. in spite of, none of that is going everywhere different than you spill the beans and tell it how that's. Then that weight to your shoulders will come crashing to the floor and you would be waiting to be a sparkling guy. Wow!

Answer 4

I realize that high school is a hard time for anybody socially and to be harrassed makes it even more difficult. The fact that you are in high school answers your own question. Sometimes people are afraid of what they don't understand. Sometimes things they don't understand makes them feel uncomfortable. So, to make themselves comfortable or appear more 'cool' in the eyes of others that lash out at anyone and everyone who is considered to be different.

I don't know if this helps but I hope things get better.

Answer 5

I'm not sure that there is anything you can do about it. In schools, it's either bully or be bullied sometimes. You could tell your teachers or principals, but it sounds like that wouldn't do any good. Just grin and bear it and count down the days until you graduate and never have to see these people again. I was bullied, too, in school, and now 10 years after graduation, it's been comforting knowing that I don't have to see those people ever again.

Answer 6

You shouldn't have to put up with harrassment. If someone is threatening you physically then you need to let the school and your parents know and call the police if necessary. If someone is saying something unkind to you, ask them about the weather or their grandmother's health or ask if they saw the latest football game. It won't be as much fun for them to be mean to you if all you respond with is weather related. You may want to talk to your parents about seeing some sort of therapist as you will need someone nonjudgemental to talk all these things over with. Soon, something else will come up in high school and most everyone will forget about your sexuality.

Answer 7

Dont let people push you around. doesnt matter whats differentabout you ..maybe its time to transfer school districts or town .drive your self to school and get away from ridicolous things. im not saying hide your self away from people but if you cant take the heat when people know it and ridicule you dont tell people in your new town. othe r wise take it and just go on with your day forget what there saying
as soon as your out of school you know what other people think isnt gonna mater so much... your not always gonna be around allthe people from your hgischool. i have moved about 30 minutes away to pursue my career that i enjoy and i have hardley seen or talked to anyone since highschool excpe tmy group of friends that people hav eleft to college military things like that.
i live in a bible belt of an area too i got harrased when iwas in school to but its becausei cant pronounce "s" right nd that affexts alot of the words you say . anywho good luck to you,

Answer 8

I'm sure you're not the only bisexual at school, so I suggest you join GSA if you're really being harassed daily... public schools aren't allowed to discriminate, so if you don't already have one of those clubs, start one! That way, you can at least meet others in your situation, so it'll be a little easier. *shrugs* Otherwise, move to somewhere more open-minded instead of staying in that little town full of Christian crackpots... don't pay them any attention; they're so freaking stupid, they actually support that murderer, Bush. *sigh*

Answer 9

You answered your own question. You live in a small christian based town. You are going to go through hell there. Why did your sexuality become known in this town anyway? If you came out of the closet there then you are the reason your life is hell right now. It will get no better there ever. You will be known as the funny boy forever. You are going to have to move, then be more discreet.

Answer 10

Just lie and say your not. Then after you graduate move far, far away so nobody will know the truth. if you really are that is, I hate when a kid says their "gay or bi" you can't possibly know that until your done growing. Seriously, your hormones are going crazy and you change everyday stop labeling yourself, truth be told at this point in your development everything should make you horny, your growing!!! Just be a kid.
