    Do you have no gay/bi friends?

    The reports from ladybirds seem to have shown that the girls who went there became more confident

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Hi Jenlet I think you will find that many peoples social circles are quite small while they are still in school especially with all the pressures that come with an exam year. Your world will probably start to really open up next year so give yourself a chance.
    Mango salsa gave you a link to ladybirds and remember it is ok to contact the offices of BeLong2 for a chat by phone without committing yourself to anything. If you are in the Dublin region you could call into them by making an appointment and someone from the Youth Work team could have a chat with you and answer any questions you may have. Their offices are open Monday - Friday 9.30am to 1pm and then again from 2pm to 5pm. Appointments with youth workers can be made by calling the office, the Youth Work team are unavailable on Friday's.

    You can also phone Dublin Lesbian Line to talk with some of the women there about anything that may be on your mind. You are not alone there are loads of people out there, you just havent met them yet. Give yourself time your life is probably going to change very soon.
