I am not in a relationship but I don't know where to go. I think I might be lesbian but I don't know what to do. I remember I mentioned it once to my parents and they go furious. Lately I have noticed that one of my friends is well attractive. I am scared I am not sure what to do.
With that kind of reaction, it makes sense that you are scared. Who wouldn't be? You are not alone. Take your time with this. Do you know anyone that you think would be trustworthy and supportive? A friend, teacher, or other family?
I think that I knew when I was about 19 and I was so afraid for people I didn't even know to hate me. Now they really don't matter anymore. Family can be scary because we want them to love and accept us.

Remember, Crystal, you can only be yourself. And you have to embrace that. Sexuality is such a fundamental part of who we are, that the only way to be happy is to allow it to be what it is.
