My Plethora of Troubles

Submitted By: Flustered in Fort Worth

Hey you guys, first I want to introduce myself, I'm Matt, I'm 14 and I live in a suburb of Fort Worth in the D/FW Metroplex.

To start off, I've been sure I was gay since 6-7th grade, and finally came out last year in May. I have the stereotypical female best friend, and I'm really open about my sexuality. That's the thing...maybe alittle too open.

I've attended Catholic schools all my life and this school year is my first at a Cath. high school. Don't get the wrong idea, the school is so open-minded (they don't fret)

I have known Mitchell since 1st grade when I moved here from Chicago. Since then we had become best friends, and in the past few years, I have grown to love him. Last May, I shared my feelings for him, and he totally flipped out. He stopped speaking to me then. The count up to this date is nearing ten months since our last words to each other. All this time, I've wanted to say something, but I can be really shy and insecure. After all this time, It's getting harder and harder to live without the person I love in my life, and it seems like I waited too long...

My friends tell me to forget him, but it's not like that...his face will be imprinted in my mind forever...

They also say he's a total jerk for being like that, but there's always the thought in my mind that maybe he has the same feelings for me, and is afraid to express them to me (probably due to the way I came out to people [pretty graphic explanations of my sexual escapades that people asked about...which portrayed me as a slut])

I don't know what to do... my heart aches at the very thought of him. And trust me, this is NOT some petty grade school crush...my feelings developed over time.

PLEASE HELP!
