Dear Nurse Ansalong:
I am a bisexual ROCKY HORROR fan and my problem is mainly at school. Somehow, it got around that I was bisexual when I didn't want it to, I know all the people at my school are closed minded jerks, and now, when I walk into school, peeps are allways teasing me and throwing stuff at me.The worst was when I walked in wearing my RHPS shirt and was hit in the eye with a pencil lead. What should I do?
-Lizard Q.

Lizard Q, the first thing that I'd do is to tell either your parents or the school administration about what's been happening to you. You deserve the right to go to school without fear of being harrassed verbally or physically by the other students. If these students are causeing you physical or mental harm, then you have every right to make it stop. You don't mention in your question if you've come out to your parents yet, but, if you have, be sure to keep them informed of everything that's going on and why it's happening to you. If you haven't told them yet, you might have to figure out a way to tell them without revealing all of the reasons.

One thing to remember... Through all of these attacks that your school mates are doing against you, be sure to keep yourself true to what your beliefs and feelings are. Don't let the petty smallmindedness of the people around you force you to stop being what you are. And, if you keep right on feeling and believing the way that you do, then you'll be proving them totally wrong in what they're trying to do. So, get out there and be whatever you want to be! ; )
