27 y/o gay man here. It doesn’t feel like it’s been 10 years since high school lol but I remember what it feels like to be in that weird place with some people who are ok with it and some really conservative people. I remember what it was like to want to date someone like all my friends were doing but there was only 1 or 2 other people who were out and I wasn’t really interested in them.

People have given some great suggestions, such as going to administration and showing them how they’re bullying you on social media. So long as you’re in school, this isn’t ok and you shouldn’t let them get away with it. They were developing social media policies when I was in school, so I’m sure they’re a lot stricter now.

Overall though, I cannot emphasize enough how little these people will matter after high school. You will make new, adult friends. You will probably date lots of people. Life is going to be so much better beyond high school.

It sounds like you have a great head on your shoulders and a loving heart. It’s gonna be ok, bub. Whatever you do, though, please don’t hold onto Skyler. Take it from me, it’s so easy to get stuck on a guy that is NOT right for you. Life’s too short to waste time like that. Lemme know if you ever need someone to talk to that might understand what it’s like.
