I'm really sorry you're having a rough time and not feeling accepted by your parents. I hope you have a trusted friend mentor counselor IRL who can assist you because sometimes the solitude of being on a computer in the virtual world doesn't always help matters. Although I'm glad you opened up to us. There are a few streams like Be Positive and Just Remain Calm that might be of help because there are others who may be struggling too. Be sure to get enough, rest, proper nutrition and time to have fun and relax. Stress can aggravate depression. Please if you feel any inclination to harm yourself, tell someone, get your mind on something else, please don't harm yourself because you are wonderful the way you are. If you're questioning your sexuality that is normal and nothing to beat yourself up about but it takes time to find your niche sometimes. And you're first off a human being deserving of respect. Sexuality and gender are really secondary traits. Focus on being the best person you can be. Remember that your value as a person is not changed or diminished by another person's opinion of you. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

First off, you're not a bother! The best thing about this site that everyone seems to be able to agree on is that the community here is awesome. People genuinely seem to care about each other, and many friendships both online and some in real life have stemmed from the site. Second, I'll have to agree 100% with Kate in that you should focus on just being a good and decent person first, treat others as you'd like to be treated and people will notice that. Your sexuality does not define you, and as much focus as there is on this these days I'm sure it's hard not to allow it to impact your life, but do not listen to society. If you are a good person, it doesn't matter what your sexuality is and you deserve to be respected and loved same as anyone. If you do have destructive tendencies, please reach out to someone for help as this is a dangerous cycle. I'm sorry you are dealing with this with your parents, I cannot imagine what that must feel like and won't pretend to understand your situation with all that. Just know that you are a valuable human being, and the same flesh you are made of makes up all the rest of us and we're all flawed but also all important in our own ways. Take care of yourself, I'll be praying for you.

Thank you,im not really treated like im normal anymore, so its nice to come on places like these and say what I want to say and people tell me im still normal.Thats more than I could ever ask for.As for my sexuality, although I have been told its alright and okay by some people, more people say im abnormal and things like that.I do have destructive tendencies,but whenever I come out about it,I get more hate about it, people telling me its for attention,im overreacting, or that im selfish.But,I do get told im nice, so ill start to look at myself better, and start treating myself more humanly.

But I do want to say thank you for telling me this.It made me feel happy.

People are uncomfortable around things they don't understand. My advice is you need to remove yourself from those that reject you for what you are and find others that do. Life is beautiful, but it will never be fair. You have to live your life and be happy with who you are. Sometimes that means making some tough decisions about family. (Always leave room for them to return, but you need to come first.)

Find a support group! Asexuality is rare, but there are others out there and sometimes just being able to bitch to someone that listens can help you.

You aren't a bother at all! I hope you're feeling at least a little bit better, but I know it might not be the case. I don't know what it's like not to be accepted, but I am questioning, think I might be ace, but not sure.

I think it's brave of you to come out to your parents, it must be hard not to be accepted, but just know you're accepted here, and I accept you as you are. If they don't, then shame on them. It's alright to feel. I want you to know that if you ever need to talk to someone, I'm here if you need me.

I know how weird that just seemed. It's alright if not. I'm sorry if I'm nothering you, other people probs gave you better advice.
