I've been bullied by certain people after coming out as gay. Many people call me names and seemingly avoid me as if homosexuality is a disease. And even if people don't harass me, people at my school continually use my sexual orientation against me. I dress differently, so people think it's because I am a lesbian. People constantly make stereotypes. I have one great friend that totally accepts me for who I am. And a few others who am pretty sure do, and they help me stay strong. Since forever, I've also been extremely confident. I'm able to face the bullies fairily levelheaded and even with a reply. That still doesn't stop people from teasing me.
