To: From: Subject: agonyaunt@schoolmag.iecarl01@mail.com Please help! Dear Agony Aunt, I do not want to give you my full name in case people fi gure out who I am.
I am having a hard time right now. It took me a while to fi gure out that I am a boy who likes boys – I’m gay. It is something I struggled with for a few years, but recently I came out to my best friend and she was supportive. I’m lucky to have her in my life because she is always there for me.
I am writing to ask for your advice with a situation I got myself into last week. I made a huge mistake when I kissed the guy I really like. He kissed me back for just a minute before pushing me away. Then he lost it. He started lashing out and calling me all sorts of names. Now I have ruined our friendship and really messed things up.
What should I do? Please help me. From,
