Parents often have trouble accepting their children for who they are -- even if their children are straight. Often, it takes years, and sometimes it just doesn't happen. This is not your fault! You can't make your parents accept you, you can only hope.

Parental love should be unconditional, but sometimes, sadly, it isn't. You have to be realistic -- some people are never going to accept your sexuality and are going to treat you differently because of it. This means you are going to have to be a stronger person for yourself. Promise yourself that you will make the most out of your life, that you will be the best person you can be. You are a good person.

Be honest with your parents when you can. Be responsible for yourself, but keep your private life and feelings to yourself. Don't fight with them, but walk away. Don't try to get back at your parents -- it only makes things worse. Perhaps, in time they will understand that a major part of love is accepting you for who you are. Unfortunately, some parents tend to think they show love by pressuring you or giving you "tough love" to mold you the way they feel is proper. They may feel that not accepting your orientation is a way to show their concern.

Do you have a trusted friend or a family member? This is the person to vent and share your feelings with. Look up sites for gay teens online and you will realize you're not alone with this problem. Many people have gotten help from Parents, Families and Friends of Gays. (A web link is attached!) Make plans for your future now--get a job, save up for college, plan on going to school and making a good life for yourself.

Your parents may be willing to go to family counseling with you. (If any counselor promises to "cure" or "change" your orientation, though, stay away!) Finally, there is one more part to your problem. People cut themselves to give the pain they're feeling a physical cause. A counselor can help you with this. In most places, you can talk to a mental health professional confidentially. Even if your parents need to consent, what you tell the counselor will be confidential.
