I know what it is about. it is about me being gay. what else would it be? i don't want to go.there is nothing that anyone can say to make me not be gay.i already feel bad about it enough. i wan't to be straight. but what can they do? I don't wanna go. what do i do?

It depends what kind of counselor. If it is a trained professional, they will explain to your parents that being gay is normalBut, if it is one of those 'gay to straight' type counselors, you might be in a dilemmaI would just tell them you do not want to go.

Counseling might be a positive experience for your family and lead to them being accepting of your homosexuality.You might get something out of it.

Unless this is going to be some religious counseling, it might be a very good thing. Most counselors are well versed in the fact that glbt people are totally normal. This could get your family to shape up.

[not so simple]

no offense but hopefully the counseler can knock some sense into your mom. she needs to be more supportive, its not something you chose its just who you are, i think good for you! my mom is making me do the same thing message me if you want or aim or msn just ask. and stick with your sister (wasnt trying to be stalkerish or nosy sorry) but i looked on your pro and it seems youre really close with her, have her help you and talk to your mom..not sure if thatll work cause i dont know the situation anyways i hope everything works out for you. dont try to be straight, being gay is an amazing thingXD and your pic is adorable..im jealous you are completely gay;]

[AZBOY]

i think you should go.... if it is a good counselor he will get your parent to understand that is who you are. hope it is not a religous counselor because then it could be ugly for you

[lilplastiqcastle]

I suggest you go and give it a try, who's to say that the counselor will be anti-homosexual. It could actually help your family see that you are who you are and that them knowing about your orientation didn't suddenly change the person they have always known. Give it a try, let us know how things went. Good luck!L

They'll try telling you, most likely, that being gay is "disgusting" and "abnormal".But, it's probably not going to make you straight.There is nothing wrong with being gay, know that.Tell your mom that you are what you are. And that it's not a choice. Tell her she can't change what you "are".I do recommend that you sit her down during this. And stop it if it turns into a screaming match.

Sorry but usually the "counselors" aremore eaten up with neuroses than the people they supposedly "counsel".From what I see "family counseling"is something where the parent who feelsthe most guilty about their kids paysan inexperienced person to put theblame on someone else. In other words,"counseling" is a load. If you absolutelyhave to go to "keep Mom happy, justsit there and agree with everything thering-master of the dog and pony showtells you. Then when you leave thatpopcorn stand forget it all immediately.

well you can't change who you are and they should accept you it doesn't matter if you gay or straight people are people
