AboutRobbie Francis Expertise I CAN answer (and any that are similar): why do my parents hate me? Why can't my parents accept me? Is it wrong being gay? Will my parents ever accept me? Why do I feel so alone and alienated? Is being gay a sin? How can/do I come out? When do I come out? I CAN NOT answer: why am I gay?
Experience I am gay and have come out. I have been depressed and suicidal in the past, but I am much better now. I have helped friends who are gay.
Organizations Outdoor Odyssey (a mentoring program for special needs children), SLC (Students for Life Choices)
Education/Credentials In high school, so I can relate to most teens.

Answer Your mother is in a different generation- one that is more strict and conservative than understanding and liberal. You can't make her accept you and the only reason she doesn't is because those are the beliefs she was not only raised with, but also that she simply lives by. You should stand up to her. Step up and yell back if you need to. Put your foot down and explain to her everything you told me and more. Put your put down. Stand your ground. Take charge of the situation and your own life!
