My parents are talking about sending me to wilderness camp to “ungay” me or whatever idk what to do
I am sorry to hear that they want to send you to this camp and for their reasons. Sometimes parents have certain expectations of their children and they look for any way to make sure they are who they want them to be. Have you tried talking to your parents about how this makes you feel?
I would also suggest checking out these websites so you can connect with other people who might be going through the same thing as you.

It sounds like you're in a really tough situation right now. It's important to remember that you deserve to be accepted for who you are, and no one should try to change you. If you feel comfortable, it might be helpful to talk to your parents about how their decision makes you feel. You could also reach out to supportive friends or LGBTQI+ organizations for guidance and support.
You don’t have to go through this alone—there are people and resources out there that can help you navigate this situation. Remember, you are valid just as you are.
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
