Mold into a chip on the shoulder. Press firmly into a tough shell of refusing to accept guidance. Add a heaping cup of hostility. Fold in equal amounts of arrogance and anger. Mix well and take the easy way out. Add regular dashes of the wrong friends. Sift in the refusal to listen to people who know what they're talking about.

When I was 17 I moved in with "Troy" and told Mom I was gay. She accepted it, but the trouble began when she told Dad. He was furious and ordered me to cut the foolishness and "get straight." I told him I couldn't "get straight" any more than he could "get homosexual." This made him madder than ever. Although Mom knows very well that I am content with Troy she keeps trying to fix me up with girls. My dad is on my back like crazy to go into the Navy. I am sorry to disappoint them, but I am perfectly happy. The worst part of my life is their nagging. What can I do to get them to understand?
