Labels

No one wants to be labeled.Especially someone who is unique. Like us. Oh she's the hipster and shes the druggie, she the lesbian one, the quiet one, the gay one, the douchebag. Did you ever think that maybe these labels are hurting or restricting the person or people you are labeling. I don't want to be know as the lesbian l. I wanna be know as Erika, the whovian, potter head, who loves youtube and is her own person. What do you think of Labels? Tell Me.

Love, 

Erika

My "Friend" "Supports" Gays

So, rant time. Do you guys remember when Indiana legalized gay marriage for like a week and the illegalized it again? Yeah, I found some things out. So during that time period my friend Grace posted this on facebook 'Way to go Indiana, not'. And there were so many people who felt the same, and that made me think. Has she been lying to us saying she's supporting us. And then a thought occurred to me. Not everyone is going to support you. So I decided to cut her and those other people, for the most part, out of my  life. Me and her don't speak a lot and me and the others don't talk at all. But still remember, even if it's a small group of people, you have people who love and support you.

My Peer Bullying Story

This is an issue I face everyday. Ok, there is this huuuggggeee group of kids we call Them. And we where talking at our lunch table,my friends Kaya,Maddy,Takeia,Simon,Kayleah,and I where talking about religion. And so one of Them starts bashing me an my friends for what we belive. And what do I do? Start yelling at him. And he starts yelling at me about religion. Just mind you I believe in God and Jesus even though I'm lesbian. And suddenly me and my big  fat mouth had to go and mention me and Simon where gay. And started yelling about how it's against the bible and how I am going to hell. As if I didn't already know. At this point this kid and his friends are berating me and only me. And I just break down and start crying my eyes out and I heard a commotion so I look up and Simin is chocking this kid. And he was suspended but he did that to protect me. I didn't want him to nor did I think that the suspension was wrong. I mean The kid and his part of Them don't bother me anymore but I can no longer make eye contact with any of them. It scared me.

Coming Out Part 3: Coming Out to Peers

This is probably the last part of the coming out series. Peers are hard. So my first suggestion is to tell friends that aren't to close. Like for example: after I came out to my close friends and mom I came out to my friend Mary. Then after you tell friends rumors will probably start spreading. People will come up and ask you if you're in fact  LGBT. You usually want to confirm the rumors. And soon everyone will know. Mostly you will get positive feedback....but there are the people who will try to push you down. Don't pay attention to them. You are awesome. Just be yourself. 

Love,

Erika
