Chapter 1
Bailey
Coming out of the closet is probobly the worst desision I have ever made. I should have known this asshole infested world would judge me for something I had no control over.
I was a junior in highschool of sixteen years old. I was young and on top of the world. I was one of the most popular kids in the school although I did not play any sports. I was popular simply because I was nice to everyone. I hate to sound arrogant but all the popular girls wanted me. Thing is... I didn't want them.
About my sophmore year I realised this and was afraid of being judged therefore I kept it a secret. A few weeks before the second semester of my junior year I could not take it any more. I stopped denying things and told the truth thinking it would make me feel better.I was dead wrong.
My world completley flipped. I was no longer "that cool kid" but I was the "school faggot." My life turned into a living hell. With all the girls it wasn't so bad but all my former guys friends would harrass me daily. I would suffer punches in the gut that followed by an insult along the lines of "You are going to hell you fucking queer".
People say "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" but the insults are what hurt me the most. Some were offensive things said to be cool or funny for their friends but others were angry things like death threats.
I was afraid to go to school. I woke up in fear for what was going to happen that day. I would do anything to try and get out of it. I would fake illnesses, I would pourposely, "accidently" not set my alarm as if that would give me an excuse and sometimes I would even attempt to get sick. To get out of lunch which is the easiest time for bullying I would not do my homework the previous night and pretend I needed help with it so I could go to tutorials.
I felt so out of place. I thought I was the only person in my school going through this type of stuff. I had no friends. I talked to no one. I even tried my best to not make eye-contact with anyone. Then came Ned Weitzman.
