Anonymous Story #18

        So over spring break my sister and I were folding laundry and we were joking around, having fun poking fun at each other, whatever. everything was fine. But then my sister says something like, well at least no one thinks I'm a lesbian. And I was like what? And then she said, "Yeah someone asked me if you were a lesbian." And I was like no, no one did. And she was like yeah someone asked me if you were a lesbian. And as soon as she told me that with her serious I'm-not-joking-face I immediately ran upstairs to the bathroom shut the door and cried for an hour. I was so embarrassed and I didn't want to ever show my face again. I never wanted to go to school because obviously, people thought I was a lesbian and I am not. I've never felt like that. I have had boyfriends. But just the thought that someone thought I was a lesbian really got to me. And I wondered if it was the way I look, or the way I dressed, or what I did. I wanted to know what it was that made them say that. So I was really upset and embarrassed for a few weeks. But now that its over, I'm over it. And its made me think that I really don't give a crap about what others think of me. Obviously, they don't know me well enough and aren't a real friend to me if they thought that of me. Since I'm graduating soon, I cant wait to never have to go to the extremely judgmental school we go to. And I'm excited to have a new start to my life with new people I meet and my best friends that I'm going to keep forever.
