I've known I was bisexual since I was younger. This is who I am. Some friends stopped speaking to me, while others bash me and I've had a few people tell me it's just a phase. I used to cry because I used to feel ashamed. My parents are very strict and I can't speak my mind about it. I wish I could talk to others about it and be respected for my sexuality without being judged or criticized. I've been hurt all my life by what my family says to me. Now I'm coming out of my shell and this is the first time I'm posting about it.
