Alright, so I'm 15, and I'm gay. I've known for...2 years or so. I was outed to the whole school near the end of 7th grade. Or, the information became common, since someone just started spreading it around. It's not like I get made fun of for it, no one ever really even mentions it. But I'm constantly depressed because I feel alone, and I don't have any friends I can relate to with this problem. I just feel like everyone is silently judging me every day, and they don't like me as much because of my sexuality. The area I live in isn't homophobic or anything at all, but I don't know. I just...it tears at me, when I see all of my close friends, all straight, or bi, that are in relationships.

Do your folks know? Are they supportive?
You can get them to help you start a gay straigh club at your school. It's illegal for the school to refuse. Then you will have somewhere to hang out after school.
Also, maybe you need a little help talking to "potentail dates". Do you have a gay center, a gay hotline in the area. Contact them and pflag.org for info on young mens (and mixed gay) groups in your area. Maybe if you had a chance to meet guys away from school it would be easier in school. Talk to your folks and the school about a gay straight club. You can get help starting one from major organizations.
Hang in there. You know other kids can be mean. Be glad, tho, that they are not harassing you.
How about joining some school activities, sports, band, drama, etc and meet people in smaller groups that way. My very best to you.

Im gay and 15 too! But im not out to my school yet. Ive only told like two of my best friends (both girls) and my mom knows too (even though she told me its just a phase). I can totally relate with being jealous of people that are in relationships. I mean, I cant date girls because im not attracted to them.. and I cant date guys either because no one knows im gay and im pretty sure im the only gay dude at my school. (there are about 1400 people total) Its pretty hard to deal with being gay as a teenager. But i cant wait until im older, i know for sure it will be different.

just keep on struggling because struggling makes us stronger people. in the end, you've endured more hardships than your peers which means you will blossom into a more responsible adult. remember, you are never alone because somewhere out there is a lonelier teen under worse circumstances. we have all been in your situation as teenagers and most of us are now happy adults because of it.

I'm 14, just made it to freshman year. I'm a lesbian, I've only come out to 2 people. The first person I told flipped out, but we are friends again. The second one high fives me an said it was cool. It kills me a little inside every time my mom asks if I saw any cute guys today. When she asks why I don't date guys anymore. The way all my friends are dating and come to me for advice (I honestly don't know why). I live in an extremely homophobic place, I get cornered into going to a homophobic church.
