Alan was bullied for being straight. He liked girls. But girls didn't like him back. They mocked him and poked fun at him for liking women. People told him he was stupid for ever thinking a girl would like him back. Girls liked girls and boys liked boys no exception. You see when he was younger he went to a religious school and never knew about "straight" people. Then he grew older and realised maybe he liked girls. He didn't tell anyone this for a long time. He used the internet spent time on quizzes and various blogs. There were a few straights who lived beyond 30. This was unbelievable to Alan because he knew most straights faced a hard time with mental health and more often than not committed suicide. This was a hard truth that he already knew. Alan prepared himself for the fact that he would never find a girl who would love him back. The last time he was in a relationship his girlfriend said "I'm sorry I thought I was straight" the one before that told him "I wasn't sure, I just wanted to try something new." and worst of all "It was just a game Alan, did you really think I was straight?!". Alan had to come out to his parents when he was just 13 He sat his mum's down at the table and said "Mum, Mother, I think I like girls" "Nonsense darling it's just a phase you'll learn to love men eventually. I can't wait for you to go through IVF like your mother and I." "No mum don't you see, I want to have children with a girl. I want us to grow old together" Alan was thrown out of his home. Luckily he lived in England. If he was in America he could have been killed. Lots of young girls, younger than him even, were killed for their "straightness". For some reason people couldn't accept the fact that straight people did exist. Why couldn't we live together. Alan was teased and mocked for a long time. with no home he couldn't do anything. His mental health declined. He spoke to his therapist and she just tried to fix him and tell him that he will grow out of this phase. He got worse and worse. His head told him that he wasn't human. A freak of nature. He was disgusting to even think he could love a girl. Everything was too much. He died. He drowned himself. His mum and mother didn't cry. Nor did his therapist. They all told themselves that it was fir the best he didn't spread his disease to other children.

If that was so hard to read. Why make it hard for us. Imagine a world were you have to suffer like that and then maybe you could understand our lives and the hell we live in because of you.
