I recently opened up that im bisexual. I didnt really want to tell anyone but i figured that people will bound to know. I live in a small town and word gets around fast. Well me and my best friend made a joke on facebook saying that we were in a relationship (shes straight). A couple hours later in school i heard that people were laughing and talking shit about us. I then decided to make a status on facebook telling everyone to cut the crap. Like who cares if we were dating, its not hurting anyone. Then an hour later one of my friends comes up to me and tells me that someone took a screenshot of my status and put it all over twitter and making fun of me calling me a lesbian and a dyke. I dont understand why someone would want to hurt others. They have no idea what they are capable of. They dont know what that person is going through at home. When you bully someone, it just makes things worse for them. Like me. Im already suicidal and that made things worse for me.

“I don’t understand why someone would want to hurt others.”
You’ll figure it out eventually.
Will she?
Bullying is the worst thing that can ever happen to a person, i been thru it, and i’m scarred for life.
It’s much easier said than done to execute any forms of retaliation or resilience when it comes to bullying as everyone internalizes and reacts to it differently. I’m bisexual as well (romantically gay) and I’m very proud of the label and am privileged to live in a liberal area that is very supporting of such. When I’m faced with homophobia I take it more as a joke than anything, isn’t it ridiculous that people actually think “dyke” and “fag” are offensive? It makes me LOL. Just take the power away from the words, flaunt it, be like “Damn straight I’m a fabulous ******, dykes do it better ayyyy” If you need someone to talk to I would love to 🙂
I actually have nothing against bisexual people. My girlfriend is bi and i still love her to death
You have to live your life and if people don’t accept it, don’t waste your time worrying about their opinion or trying to convince them otherwise because that’s a losing battle. Your life, circumstances and your overall perception will eventually arrive at a point where none of that will even be important to you.
Hey, I can understand how you feel. I was bullied many years (not because of my but that doesn’t matter, it’s the same even if the reason is different) so I know how much words could hurt.
I mean calling someone “lesbian” isn’t bad at all at first sight, because it isn’t a bad thing. One of my best friends is bi. I’ve got nothing against bisexual or homosexual and also the most of the people I know aren’t homophobic or something. But I know that there are many people who are and who hate everybody who’s different to their standards. I think they’re not clever because what’s the different between a girl that loves a boy and one that loves another girl. In my eyes there isn’t one! They just live and love no matter whom. So try to remember that it doesn’t matter what they say because there’s nothing wrong with you. You are a beautiful, unique, irreplaceable, wonderful and perfect person and there are people who accept you how you are. I know it’s damn difficult to stay or become self-confident when many people are against you but try to don’t care about their comments, you are you and that’s good, stay yourself and don’t change for anyone expect yourself. Spend time with the people who accept you not with the ignorant fools that are bullying you. Love your self and cheer up! Many people will care for you, I also care. Keep a smile on your lips. Love, Alina.
