I come out to my friends.
I decide to never tell my family.
15
My friend comes out as gay.
My parents laugh and say he doesn't know what he's talking about.
15
It's difficult to be in hiding.
I could being open be a better idea?
15
I have sex with a girl.
I decide it doesn't count as losing my virginity.
Society says you need a penis for that, right?
14
She's gorgeous.
With the hair...the eyes...the curves...
14
I use my vices to harm myself.
I figure that if my vision is blurry, I might appear to be more straight.
13
I realise you can't exactly draw my preferences with a ruler.
13
I stare at the girls, palms sweaty, heart racing.
Why can't I be as beautiful as them?
12
My sister-in-law weeps softly.
I think how cute she looks.
12
My brother is admitted to mental hospital.
12
My first crush on a guy.
I can't have him.
It hurts and I begin to cry to sleep from isolation.
12
Guys hit on my brother all the time.
My sister-in-law gets mad at him for not wearing a ring.
I laugh and still say I think he's too camp to be straight.
It falls silent and my family sends me to my room.

All I wanna be when I grow up, is...happy.
Or married.
They're kinda the same thing.

In don't understand, Mummy.
Why is it wrong that they're different?
4
My friends are boys.
Girls scare me.

I hate wearing dresses.
They're too girly!

My mum wonders if when I'm older, I'll get swept off my feet by some guy.
She looks forward to having grandchildren, who will look just like their mother.
She imagines looking after me while I'm pregnant.

Even before I'm born,
I've had my choices made for me.
