My Struggle: Part 1

Good Evening everyone and Happy Easter. After several days of not posting and thinking about what I should post next about, I figured that maybe I should lay it all out here on the blog and see what kind of feedback I get. So here it goes.
I first realized that I might not be the same as everyone else in the second half of the school year in 7th grade. This is where it begins. In the first half of the year, I had PE it was during a situation that developed in the shower room one day and one of the upperclassmen accused me of being gay. I of course vehemently denied this for the next several months until in the early spring I cam to the realization that I was indeed attracted to members of the same sex.
During the preceding months, I experienced exactly what MirrorBoy goes through everyday in his current school. At the end of 7th grade, my parents made the decision that we were going to sell our house in the town where we lived and move to another town in the same state. We did this and I started the 8th grade in an entirely different school system. It was during this time over the summer that I came to the realization that nobody at the new school would know me from adam and therefore I could start afresh.
