Girl? Guy? Why does it matter?


I think that almost everyone questions their sexual orientation at one point or another.And it's a difficult thing to understand. For some people, understanding their orientation and getting to know themselves better isn't always a good thing. Discovering who you are could ruin your life. But it shouldn't be like that. Once someone learns what their orientation is, they do not always come out and tell the world. For most people it's probably embarassing and they don't want to be judged or ridiculed by their peers. So they hide it. They pretend to be "normal", or at least what is accepted by society. But they shouldn't have to. Teens are confused about what to do when they finally come to a conclusion about who they are. They shouldn't have to hide a part of themselves just so their "friends" won't make fun of them. Everybody could make an effort to help out their confused friends or even that quiet, quirky kid in your math class just by accepting everybody for who they are and not what they're not. Treat all people equally and help to spread the love and acceptance:)
