What does the G - stand for in your yahoo name ?
Are you gay ? If so, you'll have a hard road ahead, epecially if no one at your school is accepting of it.
do you have a good relationship with an adult - like your parents ?
sometimes you just have to ignore people- how far along are you in school ?
Did someone say you were gay ? Did something happen to make people think this ?
Suicide isn't the answer. That's either a lame threat or a complete cop out.
Is this really happening ? Do your friends agree that people are treating you differently ?
Feel free to email me, and I'll try to give you some good advice, ok ?

There are always rumors and cruel talk going around in schools. In a few weeks they move on to someone else. I know it really sucks at the time, and I know it sounds trite to say, but it honestly is a crappy stage of life that you grow out of.

If it's more than just being upset about what people are saying, if you are gay or are afraid you might be, it would really help to talk directly to somebody who knows what you're talking about. Check this site out:

Good luck, and hang in there. Either way, life really does get better as you get older. Like everything else, living takes practice!

Please call the mental health hotline tonight if you cannot "shake" the suicidal feeling, no one online can help you through that issue-get your mind off thoughts of such or call 911 and have them take you to a hospital where they can do a mental evaluation and you can get the proper care.

As far as the rumors in school go, that is what school is all about. Next week it will be a rumor about someone else- just dont react to it and it will go away- been there-. You may be "imagining" their strange behavior because you may be paranoid over this incident and your thoughts of suicide. Dont DWELL on this and it will go away. Good luck and PLEASE- seek help before you act on your feelings!!!!

You need to reach out for help. There are suicide hotlines in every town, and there are people around you who you can turn to--maybe at home, in your extended family, a neighbor, doctor, or school official. The key is not address this feeling on your own.

The second thing is... you need to know that your WHOLE LIFE has nothing to do with your current school life. Looking back on this time a decade or two from now, you'll laugh about how seriously you took your current situation. Granted, it's easier to say than to do, but honestly.. in retrospect, you've hardly even begun build your own life. No point taking it now. Wondrous things are still to come!

They are idiots. Ignore them (and any insensitive answers you might get to this question).

The way to know this is to know that many, many people don't care a whit whether someone is gay or not. It just doesn't matter. That is something that is noone's business. What is it to them, anyway? That says nothing about a person's character.

Only you truly know who you are, inside. Only you can decide what happens to you. If you can love yourself, you can do good things and block out all those idiots.

And if you did kill yourself, believe that many would grieve for you. I am sure that many people care for you.

It takes a special and open person to ask for help, as you have done. Know that one person out here thinks that you are courageous, and respects you.

And when you get older, you will find that many more people like you are out there in the world. There are good friends waiting for you past "school years." I am one of them.

Take care of yourself, and know someone cares....

So you're not out....

I don't care what anyone's opinion is, what or how they think or feel about you is not worth your death. If you want to stay in the closet the thing to do is start covering behavior immediately, get a date with a girl and make sure something happens! When people treat you strangely, start treating them strangely. When they look at you strangely, get agressive "Stop flirting with me, @$$hole!", but only if you can bring it off, only if you can live it.

If it's safe (as in, people don't routinely kill gay or lesbian people in your city), come out, confirm their suspicions and find out who your true friends are or are not. It's a lot easier on your peace of mind. I know, you'd like to be friends with everyone - - - we all start out there, but it turns out to be impossible.

But I'm bi, and have purposefully chosen the last name 'strange' (which I spell Xtranj), so your milage may vary.

Random AlAskendir Xtranj.

I have felt the same way for other reasons... i also did feel like committing suicide at one point of time.. even now i do... so i've come up with two really realistic ways u can deal with this... fisrstly you can choose to "upgrade your mental strenght"..which can be tough to do it on your own.... to tell you something... yahoo answers is not really the place to solve your answers.. you need to get help with a personal touch... secondly you can go and ask your councillor to help you out immediately..it may be costly to go and visit a councillor but its worth it.... accounts realy dont matter...

and about other things.. just read.. watch movies.. continue to deny that you're a gay.. laugh about it.. be THICK SKINNED>.. and make everybody else's claim just a joke.. like for example.. someone talks ackward to you.. and you say.."ohh..is it about the gay thing.. ya i heard it too..how about that....and stuff like that"....

hope you do get the answer you're looking for..
all the best..
i know u can do it.. its in every single person's capabilities to do it..

Don't let them get to you. I'm going to assume you're in high school, so think about it. This is only 4 years of your life. Right now, it might seem like a lot but like someone else said, it will all just be a memory in the end. Just continue to stay the way you are, don't change for anybody, just be a good person and that's all that matters. Stick with the friends that don't judge you and like you for who you are, and not based on your sexual preference.

life is tough, people can be mean......don't let that get you down. Remember rumors come and rumors go....who cares what other people think.....in 5 years will those peoples opinions or thoughts of you really matter? NO! heck in 1 year they wont.....or in a month....the only opinions that should matter most to you is from the people you know and love and that know and love you back. be happy life is short enjoy the good and the bad, it makes you the person you become.

Well, you could purposely let yourself get caught with a playboy magazine at school- in some place open...like the cafeteria or hallway between class. Or if your problem is bigger than that, you could start your own rumor about someone that people hate even more...that would get the attention off you. It's mean, but it works. And by the way...this crap won't last forever, so just hang in there and give some girls compliments in front of people.
