Jacob,

I can finally be myself

I always had feelings for boys

I always had feelings for boys but I didn't want to tell anyone. Now I've got the gut to tell people I'm gay.

Jacob,

Jacob was finding it hard to keep his feelings to himself.

I've always had feelings for boys but I didn't want to tell anyone. I thought people would think differently about me. One time, I really liked this surfer guy, he had blond hair and blue eyes but my friend was going out with him. I wanted him but I knew it would be the wrong thing to doI had always thought about calling Kids Helpline, so one day, I did! They talked me through how I was feeling and all my worries. Now, I've got the guts to tell people that I'm gay and that I have a boyfriend.
