I told my Mom when I was eleven right after I had a fight with my grandmother about always having to speak French when she was there. My father had abandoned us and pissed off back to France and left us all in southern California. My grandmother took it out on me so no help there. We get on better now but it was tough. My mother had figured it out though and it was a relief to be able to just be me. Since I was small I always directed my affection towards men I trusted. Between that and how I behaved with my friends she put it together. I also have a sister who is very supportive. I’ll never bother with a lottery ticket because I already won. When my Mom remarried, her new husband and his father became the two most important men in my life. Dad and Grampa both have the same attitude that being gay is just another facet of human existence. Nothing needs fixing or curing. I’ve talked to other boys who haven’t had it so easy. Beatings, verbal abuse or exclusion from their family’s activities. I know one boy who was thrown out of his home and had to live on the street at fourteen. Grampa took him in and found him a home with some people he knew. He’s doing pretty good now. I know my experience is unusual, but I hope that others have one that is similar.

Thank you all for the welcome, sorry I haven't responded sooner. We all pissed off to a trip for a week before school started. New term, new classes and an intense workload have conspired to keep me from writing or web surfing. Julian

Hey it worked, so please don't reply here. But use the link to the already established topic.

Hello, I'm Julian and brand new here. I found a link to Imagine magazine at the bottom of a story on Nifty. I'm fifteen and I have beautiful boyfriend who just happens to be Welsh. I had never belonged to someone before I met him and it's very cool. I have to deal with a lot of restrictions on sharing because of school policy. We have a lot of embassy kids here and security can be a pain. I'm not even supposed to have a Gmail account but everyone here has something like that. I've written some things that my classmates say are pretty good. I'll try to get something ready for you to read. So that's me, Julian. Edited 3 hours ago by Jujubee I moved this post from its original location.

Thanks, I guess that's my first FNG mistake. I'll make a post on that thread as well. Or can I just move this one over? Juju
