Lesbian in High School...?

I'm a lesbian in high school. I know that. My closest friends no that. What's my problem? Here's my problem. I go to a catholic school. Most of the people I know are anti-gay. I know three people who are, but they're guys. This doesn't help much.



I'm shy and I don't know how to flirt with girls. I don't know how to ask without asking, if you know what I mean. I'm so scared of getting the ';ew'; response. It's happened a few times before, but I feel kind of desperate. If not for a love interest, at least for a friend who gets it. I don't know anyone who is a lesbian and I don't know how to tell someone else, ask someone else, tell if someone else is, or flirt. Help!Lesbian in High School...?
Getting a date is not the most important thing to be trying to do at school.Lesbian in High School...?
Be careful, or you'll get ';healed'; from your unholy gayness. A lesbian I know was raised Catholic, tried to be a catholic lesbian, and turned her back on it after she found out what hypocrites they were. They preached love and tolerance, but openly hated her for being gay.



Since you're stuck there, be careful who you come out to until graduation. After that you are free to be whoever you want to be, and the pool of prospective partners will increase exponentially.



Sorry that doesn't help right now, but you're in one of the worst case scenarios school-wise for any gay youth. Just be true to who you are no matter what happens.
wwe all ways say we love lesbians.
you should get out of the cathlic school because religion is bad.
God damit lesbians are so hot... You have to build new relationships with girls and hopefully one day you will end up waking up next to each other with nothing on but your socks
Maybe you shouldnt be trying to find another lesbian at your school. Your secret will get out and you will get more than ';ew's'; from the other kids. Focus on school when you're there and then outside of school maybe try to find someone to connect with.
i don't understand why people hate gays i'm not gay or lesb but it is just so mean when people hate u cause your lesb it is so rude you know.
You might just want to make friends FIRST but you know that.

I would sooner see you with a guy for m%26amp;m but your not old enough and you still can mess your life up as well as his. Maybe thoes gay guys have a sister who you could make friends with.

Stay out of trouble and keep it clean.
see if your school has an.. acceptance club. like at our school we have one called R.E.A.C.H which basically is just about spreading acceptance and understanding. or maybe you can ask your parents if you could go to a public school next year, because i know what you mean, my friends who are really religious are all homophobic. also, dont approach a girl expecting a relationship out of it, go into it as a friendship and thats it. i always always find that no long lasting relationship comes from the guys i immediately want to date. ohh and this might be a terrible idea, but you could go onto myspace and find lesbians (not to go out with but just to talk to. so you dont feel so alone). good luck and know that your not alone! you just might not realize it.
my advice is not to worry about looking at school.. go out to public places, malls, clubs, go with your friends who are cool with ya.. everything that happens at school will crumble.. theres too many eyes.. go to myspace and look at girls' profiles.. good luck.. it'll get better once your out of high school and in college..!!
I'm a lesbian in high school as well. I don't go to a Catholic school, but I do live in a small town so pretty much everyone is anti-gay.



If you're looking for someone who understands, just become friends with the people who seem to be less closed-minded than the general population and then tell them once you've really bonded with them. If this person is a girl, it might turn out that they're gay too, and you could start a relationship with them if you feel a connection.
You should act like a normal person when finding a date. When I'm interested in other gurls, I try to show it.



1) Open doors for her (it really does work)

2) Try and take a seat next her, as much as you can

3) When you do, press your knee against hers`, if she pulls away, sorry, but if she doesn't, then that's good.

4) ALWAYS compliment her on how she looks, gurls really like that



And for the 'ew' response, that's not always the case. And when it is, it's not that bad. Try to be proud that your a lesbian. You'll feel a lot more better.

I go to a Christian school, and everyone knows I'm a lesbian. Their cool about, some people even admire me for it.



I hope this all works out for you, `cause I know what it's like
ia m a bi.. my lo9ve i can help you be yourself and dont care how poeple think of what you do or what you are i go to a public skool and me and my gf are holding hands and not giving a sh!t at all... you sould be prond of you sexuallaty i am and always will be i understand where you come form at the being it was hard for me to do stnd it and be pround of it hunny... go for it lovergal...this is a friend of mine who wants to say something,( not gay but good advice!!)

Hello Dudette!! Listen im not gay but i hear your pain...dont be afraid to show your love to someone be your self this is the true key to your personality, dont let others discriminate you b/c you are lesbian that is YOUR choice no one can change that, the person who wrote the message above taught me how to discover your personal being, i used to hate gay and lesbian relationships...then i found out that 2-3 friend were bi- then i relized that being gay or lesbian aint gonna change a thing about you. sure i still hang out with them and im sure that will continue but seriously dont be afraid to show your affection with another girl, and by god dont let the catholics bomb you with thier beliefs!!! believe me i went to a catholic school before. it sucks!!

keep it strong, go for what you think is kool with you and go 4 it!!

Peace out, sister!!!

Its can be frustrating in your situation, but there is help. If you look on the internet and find out about your local LGBT association, I am sure there you'll find other girls that you could interact with who could also be facing the same thing as you.
what is it like 1 in 10 high school students are gay? so get a group of 20 girls and most likely another one is a lesbian too.
Gosh, I know what you're going through. If I were you, I would try to network through the close friends you say already know about your sexuality.
