I don't know him, but I really hope he's doing okay, that he'll be able to hold himself together, and that he knows that it will get better. One day.
I can understand why his parents may be doing what they're doing. I can understand wanting what's best for him, to "help" him, or make him "normal", especially when he is so young. I mean, there is a lot in the world that no parent wants their child to face. But if they're trying to protect him, that isn't the way to do it. You're right, this is only going to hurt him.. but I trust that he will get through this and become a stronger person and more assure of himself. Being gay isn't a choice - what person would choose to be gay in this intolerant world? Who would put themselves through so much scrutiny, and harassment, and prejudice, and pain? No one should have to hide who they are, and I applaud him for being brave enough to be honest with his parents about the situation. He didn't take the easy road and deny it and live a lie, and that is really an amazing thing for someone that

At this point in time, I don't understand why they're doing it, honestly. He got in trouble when he came out to me on MSN and wasn't allowed to talk to anyone for months. They log everything he does online. He was gone for the entire past fall, because his mom found out that he kissed a boy. It's just at this point, they're being selfish. They're making it about them and what they want, not about who Logan is. He's not allowed. It's like they're ordering him, "Stop being white!" or, "Stop being tall!" This isn't something that parents can handle with tough love. It's not something that he's going to look back on one day and say, "Gee, I'm glad they did that!" but instead he's going to resent them.
I just wish they wouldn't take everything from him. I hope they don't "home school" him again and at least let him have school to go to. I don't see how anyone could live in the solitude they force upon him for being gay.
._. ♥ I'll do this. I hope I can contact him somehow.
if he ever has a chance to watch it and if he hasnt already, he should. i really wish it had been around when i was his age. its so true, man. and even a tiny little bit of hope when youre in a situation like that can make a world of difference.
That is absolutely the saddest thing. Parents do these things though. I think he will be okay, he just has to be strong.
When I was 13, I told my mother that I am bisexual. Her response was "No you are not. Take it back. You're just saying this to hurt me." Then she proceeded to tell me I was wrong, going through a phase, and most especially -- going to hell. I'm still bisexual. She's still in denial.
Parents just don't know how to handle it. Especially religious ones. And it's sad.
He's a strong-willed boy. ♥ I only worry what will happen if they repress him and control him so he can't do anything until he gives into their will. :(
Ugh, I hate parents who are like, "You are not allowed to be bi because it makes you a slut." Or just if you like the same sex, you're somehow hurting ~them~. It's ridiculous.
