well last year, wen i was a freshmen in high school, i came out and i had my first boyfriend. everyone knew who he was and so everyone had a very sketchy image of me or Jacobs boyfriend. it only lasted a month or so but still after people i would become friends with would refer me with Jacob, or my purple highlights i had last year. that was ok intill he left this year. hes a senior and his credits were low so he was transfered. then the title was like passed down to me. it got worst... people knew who i was by last name, people i have never even made eye contact with! it was creepy. I just got interviewed for the "who i am" section of our schools newspaper. they asked things like "what are some struggles you had to over come?" and "why do you want your story to be heard?" and then i got interviewed for the year book about the GSA at school... which then turned into an interview about ME! i wanted to run for homecoming junior prince next year, but im having my doubts. its nice that people are interested in me, but not this much. im like a hero in some eyes, because of "what i put up with everyday at school (homophobia)" i feel like next in going to see pictures of me saying GAY Will Petersen. i have two minds on the subject, i love the attention, but i feel like its going to become to much for me.
