HI Karli...I am glad your reached out to 2NDFLOOR. We are always here to help. First of all it is OK for you to feel this way. You are not alone. You did not say how old you are but you should find out if your school has a Gay/Straight Alliance. This would really help you to go to their meetings. Your school counselor should know. Also, if you are being bullied please let someone at your school know. They are there to help you. Here are some helplines and websites you should check out.
