"Ever since I came out Gay, I would be egged in public or at the Courtyard. People would shred my pants So I couldn't be able to go to school. They snipped a chunk of my hair and Wave it at me. I've been forced and held to use Wellbutrin [Happy pills] I've even been kicked out of Stores and Food marts. I just wish it would end.
I just want someone to tell me what to do..."

Normally I believe people should be themselves, but there are three topics that I usually recommend avoiding just for safety. They are religion, politics and se.xuality. People can react very strongly if one of those goes against their beliefs. Again, this is only for your safety and otherwise you should be yourself. After all, if you feel comfortable with who you are, you will project a level of comfort out, but if you dislike who you are, you will give off negative feelings and people around you can pick up on those feelings and treat you differently because of them (negatively if you're negative for example). Now, if you're out and what's done is done, I'd recommend you try other ways to be safer. One is making friends with similar interests to you and being around them, since there is safety in numbers. Another is to talk to a teacher, councilor, or parent and explain that you feel unsafe and what you've been through. The third is to look into personal safety training.

One of the things various safety training classes cover is how to be more aware of your suroundings to avoid attacks in the first place. Basically, it's sensing people, where they are and what they'll do. Combining these, maybe they could help?

I did. My bff Stopped hanging out and having fun because he got beat up to where His Black eyes got black eyes. And I can only go Out if I dress up Like a girly girl with a dress and Otk socks and a wig.

Well, changing how you dress seems extreme, but if you've tried everything else, it's probably less extreme than the alternatives, which are moving to another school/better area or taking a martial arts course and working out. I've heard that humor can diffuse situations, like making self depricating jokes to lower the tension levels of people about to attack. Like, if they make fun of you, you make fun of yourself too and that throws them off long enough for you to get away.

There are three types of bullying. Bullying useing words, bullying over the internet, and physical bullying. This is a more vio.lent case from what i'm hearing. If they force you or hurt you then fight back. If they hurt you mentally, try not to get offended. Coming out to be gay has its consequences. One's you are now forced to accept.

I understand what your going through I am bi se.xual and I told a friend and well it got around the whole school so now everyone makes fun of me for it. I haven't gotten physically hurt for it but some girls that I hang out with now they hate me and never talk to me anymore. Sometimes when I am walking down the hall people call me a lesb.ion and they shove me and give me digusted looks. It's even harder to deal with since I am a christian and I give myself a really hard time because its against my religion and sometimes I hear in church some people talking about how digusted they are from people that date their same gender and well it hurts a lot. So I understand how hard it is I really do.
