awl, i am so sorry to hear this. look, i am almost finish undergrad and i plan to take the lsat this coming fall. i am glad that inspite of all your heartache that you are still succeeding. please try to keep company who are positive, and who you love unconditionally inspite of thier personal beliefs. i have a very religious family who says that they'll never accept my life style, and that i am a sinner on my way to hell. they won't allow me to spend much time with my 8 yr old brother, and 11 year old sister. it hurts so bad. they won't allow my girlfriend to come in their home. they even got new doors put on the house, and never gave me the key. i am so glad that my girlfriend and i live together in an apartment off campus, and they we have nice partimes jobs to handle our bills. my parents and other family members have hurt me so much to the point where i felt that i was going to loose it. but, i just prayed about it, and i started to love myself no matter what anyone says. i contact many family members, but they hardly ever contact me. i take it lightly because it i worried and lost sleep over every negative thing that they've done and said about me, i'd be in the nut house. honey there are going to be some lonely sleepless nights.but you cannot sacrifice your self to please anyone. if these people truely love you.........oneday(i am not saying any time soon) they'll respect you(not accept or understand)you. please know that their is someone else out here who is going through the same thing. you can email me sometimes colorfemme@aol.com
i can be that person who you can vent to, cause trust me, i know all to well how you feel. my girlfriend and i are both 20years old. and trust me we've been through it all. we have been together for 1 yr and 1/2 now. i don't really remember going to my parents and telling them. just somehow they found out, and i didn't deny it.that was when i was 17years old, now i am almost 21years old. holla
