Hugs, Jaydeen. This is a really difficult situation to be in.

You need an ally, preferably an adult, who can make sure you get the support you need. Are there any counselors at your school you could talk to? Teachers? Is there a gay/straight alliance?

Is there a PFLAG in your area, or any LGBT support organization? A friend of the family?

If worse comes to worse, you can try one of the national LGBT help lines.

If you are in America, your school is required by law to protect you from bullies. They are breaking the law if you tell them you are being bullied and they don't help you. But it will be easier to get them to listen if you have someone on your side.

Please keep posting. You are not alone.
