how to turn straight

[liam2013]

Im gay and im 16 but is there anyway of me turn straight

[Jhonnyp777]

There really is no defined way.

[gloverjake]

i dont think so..

[pvanhouten]

It all depends what you want and like. It's your life not ours.

[TheUnknown12345]

Well if you are gay you can't just turn straight from one day to the next just the same way a straight person can't turn gay. Being gay or straight is something you are, just like the color of your skin, you can't change it. There is nothing wrong with being gay, you should embrace it, if you are still curious whether you're gay or straight, you have time to see what you like and don't and then actually say whether you're gay or not. See what you're emotionally, physically and sexually attracted to and that'll let you know what you are. (:

[Jevon]

Ummmm I don't think that's really possible but umm you can't try....of course there is nothing wrong with you being gay so I don't see why you would change

[PinkFloyd]

There is nothing that I know of that you can do. Maybe as life passes by, you'll become straight over time.

[liam2013]

I cant ever turn straight

[ExhibitG]

I cant ever turn straight

there's really no way. people have tried to turn straight and all have failed in the long run. others have tried suppressing/avoiding emotions and attractions toward the same sex, but that leads to a lot of mental instability.

you shouldn't even want to turn straight. when i was 16 i was asking the same questions, but i'm almost 19 now and i can tell you it has gotten much better. and in time you will grow to like who you are, and so will the people around you. just hang in there.

[liam2013]

Im just really scared that my friends wont accept me

[Zakky Boy]

you can't just turn straight, but who knows you might just be in a 'phase' if you feel unsure about your sexuality

i'm sure your friends will accept you; if they dont accept you for who you are, then they're not you're true friends.

Puberty For Boys :arrow: Teen Sexuality.

Well, there's "straight camps". Which is basically a place where bi/gay adolescents go, to become straight. But I think it's ridiculous, and doubt it even works.
Just be yourself. Don't try to be someone you're not. Because, as said above, if your friends can't accept you for being gay, then they aren't true friends. True friends stand by you and accept you, no matter who or what you are.

[Blackhawknut1]

Be what you want. You have the only control over that.

[teen.jpg]

FOR GOD'S SAKE NO, THERE IS NO WAY. What are you people even talking about?

"You'll become straight over time." "Get ur self some [email protected]%%$" "Be what you want. You have the only control over that."

I'm almost speechless by these posts.

To put it bluntly, no there is no way you can "turn straight" as there is no way to "turn gay" or anything else. The faster YOU accept who you ARE, then the easier it will be for you.

And if you're friends don't accept you, fuck them. They don't matter, but YOU do.

[DanteZombie]

You can act straight all you want, but you will still be gay. Don't be ashamed, there is nothing wrong with it.

Be proud of who you are. It isn't easy, but I'm promising you it's fun. Further more, you can't change your sexuality, it's about like changing your taste buds. Your taste may change over time, but it's not voluntary.

[answers-101]

Im gay and im 16 but is there anyway of me turn straight

i'd say it's pretty much impossible. you can't change ur sexual attractions, and besides, why would you want to??? ;)

[liam2013]

I havent told my mom that im gay as well

[ElectricStar21]

It's not possible. If you truly feel in your heart that you're gay, then you probably are. There's nothing wrong with that either.

[liam2013]

I could tell i was when i was 13 years old

[RebelHeart]

Guess changing your sexuality is not possible, not to do it completely that is.

[LiamC]

If you're gay then you're gay. There's nothing you can do about it, but there's nothing wrong with it. As much as you might be scared about telling people, it's 2013 now and being gay isn't a disgusting disease or anything. It's just another way people can be, some people are straight and they can't help it, some people are twats and they can't help it, some people have big dicks and they can't help it. It's the way you are, and it's unnatural to try and turn straight...

[liam2013]

Thanks for the everything :-)

[mrmee]

It depends. If you wanna be gay, be gay. you don't have to tell anyone if you are either. But if you wanna be straight, be straight. Check oout some hot chicks or somthin. :P

That's horrible advice. You can date whoever you want, but it won't feel right if you're gay and you're dating a girl.

And if you're friends don't accept you, fuck them. They don't matter, but YOU do.

There is a way to turn almost straight or at least bi. Your making it sound as if a person has absolutely no control of what he/she desires. That once you are gay you are trapped like that forever. That is like saying a straight person can never be gay. However if the person is truly gay then I doubt the person could.

As for you liam2013 if you like the same sex I see no reason for you to change. Be who you are and don't let anyone but yourself decide.

[Xavier2]

Im just really scared that my friends wont accept me

If your friends won't accept you for being who you are they aren't your real friends, as has been mentioned before in this thread. Be proud of the way you are, and if anyone gives you a hard time over it, don't put up with them, they're the ones in the wrong, not you. :)

A straight person will never be gay ... that's kind of why they're called straight in the first place.

You DON'T control your desires. Where do you think all of people's dirty fetishes come from? You think people chose to have taboo fetishes?

And in a way you are "trapped" like that. But you're purposely making being gay out to be a bad thing, when it's not.

[Allain1996]

Woah, Woah!
First there is nothing wrong with being gay!
There are all kinds of lovely "treatments" and "therapies" that claim they will "turn you straight", but they are (for lack of a better word) total bullshit.
Don't let anybody ever tell you that you should try to change yourself because you simply can't, and shouldn't!
Be happy with who you are man, and live life to the fullest! :D

Kay we will agree to disagree then. I believe what I want too and you believe you. Whenever did I said that being gay is a bad thing. Anyways this thread was for the poster and I believe it has been resolved. If you want to debate about it there is the Ramblings of the Wise in the General Discussions forum.

hey I dont believe you can, be proud to be who you are:)
may I ask why you want to turn straight? is it religion? social pressure?

And alot of the times their method's are cruel and severe and COMPLETELY horrifying from what my uncle Paul told me

[thewhiteyeezus]

Heres the reality: you can't. Its who you are and you cant unapply your feelings. Sure you can pretend like youre straight but your feelings will always catch up to you reminding you of this and ignore whatevers causing u to think you should because they or it is wrong

[ralphcarmineleo]

Lol bro. Be gay.. Don't be gay.. Who cares haha

[Lovelife090994]

My friend, what nobody seems to mention is how you can change if you want to. IF YOU WANT TO, and you have to want it, not for your friends, not for your family, but for you. You are the one who sleeps with yourself at night and only you know your thoughts.

I have no idea what your ideas are on this and to anyone who shoots me down I do not care because my life is too short to worry on anyone else's thoughts. I have met a few teens and know one here who went through what you did. He slept around and felt alone and beat up. Unlike me just thinking on my curiosity his exploded into one mistake after another. But, today he contacted me and his words brought tears to my eyes. he wanted to change for the better for him and for God, he told me that he is no longer bisexual and his story filled me with the inspiration to do the same and I feel much lighter and better now.

I have no idea your ideas on this but if you wish to change you can, even God can help you whether you know it or not. I will pray for you.

The choice is yours, whatever you chose, you'll never find the answer to whether or not you wish to be the way you are if you keep asking others for the answers when you alreayd hold all the cards, all those you ask who are not whom you trust and have faith in are only buying your time.

Go in peace, may blessings and sweet realization come upon you.
Farewell! Alons-y, Adieu!

Nop, there is no way :)

this is absolute bull shit.
pure 100% bullshit.
for 4 years I "wanted to change. I WANTED TO". I wanted it not for my friends and not for my family but for me. and guess what. i might as well as have been wanting to change from white to black. WANTING to change didn't work. PRAYING to change didn't work. IF you are gay, then you are gay and will stay gay forever. you can pretend to be straight if that is your choice or you can be in the closet if that is your choice but you will be a gay person pretending to be straight or a gay person in the closet. Anyone who says they have changed either wasn't gay in the first place but was just going thru the famous "phase" or they are lying. the most famous ex-gay in the world who was the posterboy for changing from gay to straight even admitted that he never changed even when he married a woman. He was still gay he was just miserable.

the reason "no one mentioned it" is because it's a load of crap.

I hate to say this but if you prayed on it and wanted to change and nothing happened then what you did was pray with your fingers croseed. Prayer works. Do you think I'd have said what I did if it didn't? You can change and to me if you must be profane to prove a point or vex someone then your point should already be invalid. If my comments disturbs you, why? It is not addressed to you. I'm tolerant of many things except for rudeness and imbecilic behavior. I wish you well, you can't blame your shortcomings on others.

[KimuraWannabe116]

This is impossible. If you are talking about a phase that's different, but you can't just turn straight magically!

[Troy35216]

I hate to say this but if you prayed on it and wanted to change and nothing happened then what you did was pray with your fingers croseed. so you know what I did for 4 years? You know the agony I went through? you know me me better than I do? your arrogance is unbelievable.

Prayer works. obviously not this time. or the millions of times people have prayed for the recovery of sick family members who died anyway. or the time I prayed you would grow some brain cells.

You can change you can change your socks you can't change your sexual orientation. even the ex-gay people say they are still gay they just don't act on it. do some freaking research before you parade your ignorance.

if you must be profane to prove a point or vex someone then your point should already be invalid. If I call "bullshit" a "pile of glowing pixie dust" it is still bullshit, just like you call a gay person in denial a "former gay who prayed himself straight" he is still a gay person in denial.

If my comments disturbs you, why? It is not addressed to you. It disturbs me because it will cause unneccesary pain to people who believe it. do you know how many gay teens commit suicide every day? do you know how many do it because of the bullshit you spout that makes them feel they are bad and doing something wrong? damn right it disturbs me.

I'm tolerant of many things except for ... imbecilic behavior. then how the hell do you tolerate yourself?

you can't blame your shortcomings on others. first, what shortcoming are you talking about? I didn't mention any shortcomings. Second, what am I blaming on anyone else? in THIS post I'm blaming your idiotic statements on contributing to gay people feeling shitty about themselves but in my first post what did I blame on other people?

I wish you well, I doubt it. and I don't wish you well. I do wish you'd leave behind your ignorance and actually educate yourself about homosexuality.

[Lovelife090994]

Wow, I feel sorry for you. You do realize how often what you said is repeated right. To be honest I don't care what you think of me. You don't know me. I do wish you well, you obviously need more fortune than I do with anger like that.

NO. None of that is even remotely reasonable.

I'm gonna sound bad by saying this buuut; maybe this thread is better in ROTW? I mean if you lock it, then somebody else is just gonna start it all over again.

Whenever did I said that being gay is a bad thing.

When describing being gay, you used the word "trapped".


Merged triple post. -StoppingTime

[1_21Guns]

Don't even look into 'straight camps', the horrific things that have gone on in places like that is awful. My advice would be don't label yourself, it doesn't matter if you like guys, girls, people, of course some people might not like it, but you are who you are, and the only way people are really going to accept you is if you accept yourself, don't try and fight who you are because you'll just end up miserable

[Lovelife090994]

NO. None of that is even remotely reasonable.

If that's your opinion without telling me why, why reply?

[teen.jpg]

If that's your opinion without telling me why, why reply?

Because I'm in a place where I'm able to do just that, but since you want me to ekaborate I will.

You can't change your sexuality. It will always be the same, and no amount of denial will change that.

You can try all that you want to "pray the gay away" but it's pointless, useless, and doesn't even work.

People who say they're "no longer gay" were probably never gay in the first place, and they get paid to make religious people look good. It's an obvious fact.

Straight camps or anything of the sorts is complete b.s.

And why are you recommending people trying to change their sexuality in the first place? You're supposed to make people ACCEPT themselvesm not change themselves.

[Lono]

Im gay and im 16 but is there anyway of me turn straight

Truly, why bother. If you like the same gender, go with the same gender. If you want to try the opposite gender, try it. However, your being in a positive relationship with someone is good regardless of their gender. Shoot, hermaphrodites are both male and female at the same time; so, anyone in a sexual relationship with them is instantly bisexual.

A lesbigay choice is not an abnormal choice. Straight is not abnormal either. I have known many women that were straight until they had some bad relationship that drew them to a lesbian relationship. It happens. It can happen the other way around too where guys are straight and then go gay.

Well, only at 16, you may have 74 or more years to find someone of some gender that you form a wonderful relationship with regardless of their gender.

Live well,

Lono.

First off, what on Earth is a "straight camp" anyway?

Second, what you said makes sense to someone who is not a believer, I get that, we have two totally different belief systems.

Three, do you honestly think every Christian that was delivered from sin is paid? If so, where's my check?

Four, he (the thread creator) asked, rather bluntly if he could ever be straight, so I replied because that's my right to reply as well and I elaborated fully. Yes, we all need to feel accepted but when someone asks if they can change and they are up to hear how and I know a way to help them then I must say something regardless of what anyone else thinks. Besides one must not accept what they wish they could change all the time, and to this person who asked he obviously was curious on whether or not he could change.

Acceptance is one thing, tolerance is another. And as a person I am helping him accept himself, by posting a suggestion. Not once did I mention "he must" do this or that.

Last question: Is there a reason why you always do this to me? This is not the first time you and I have had this talk earlier. If you want some Christian who'll lie down and take a verbal beatdown when one disagrees with him, you found half of that person, I won't argue but I won't just lie down either. Bye! This is my last time commenting you for now.

[teen.jpg]

First off, what on Earth is a "straight camp" anyway?

Where crazy people lure in confused people to talk nonsense, and then claim they're turning people straight. Which obviously doesn't work.

Second, what you said makes sense to someone who is not a believer, I get that, we have two totally different belief systems.

Which for the most part should be irrelevant, but you always manage to bring your religion into EVERYTHING.

Three, do you honestly think every Christian that was delivered from sin is paid? If so, where's my check?

Not what I said. What I said was that the people claiming they can "turn people straight" and the people who claim that it works get paid to do so. And yes, most of those people also happen to be quite religious. Ironic, right?

Besides one must not accept what they wish they could change all the time, and to this person who asked he obviously was curious on whether or not he could change.

It isn't something you can change, and it isn't something you should want to change. It's a part of who you are, so you should love who you are. I think we can all agree on this.

Acceptance is one thing, tolerance is another. And as a person I am helping him accept himself, by posting a suggestion. Not once did I mention "he must" do this or that.

Yes, you're helping him accept himself by telling him he can pray away something that makes him who he is? That's not acceptance.

Umm ... because you give advice in (this might be rather harsh) obvious ignorance. Most everybody can agree on these things about sexuality, and then you come and preach about how sinful it is and how you should want to change. And then ironically you act like you don't notice this, get offended, and run off.

Do you honestly think you haven't offended anyone by all this crap you've been saying. I don't understand why you would post in this sub-forum talking about things like that. It's not helping anyone with their struggles, in fact it might be making it worse.

Making it worse? And what you think I am not offended at all? Do you honestly think that what I said is that hurtful? Honestly, I am just sharing, problem is those like you saying I shouldn't when I have that right. I will walk away because I shouldn't be talking to you if you do is argue.

[StoppingTime]

No. The OP asked a question. He didn't want people bashing each other's opinions on what they think is right. He asked a question and because of all this arguing the thread is off track.

____________________________________________________________

Everyone needs to cut it out, and just reply to the OP. If you don't agree with someone says instead of preaching your opinion, ignore it and move on.

Do you honestly think that what I said is that hurtful?

I'll leave it for someone else to answer that question because I'm not trying to get banned right now.

[AyVannah]

Okay, first off!!! There is NOTHING WRONG with being gay! Really! Enjoy it, embrace it, live with it! Your friends and family will understand/get over it. If your friends don't, then you really don't need them around.
Secondly, you can't change who you are. If you're gay, you're gay. Deny it for however long ou want, but you will regret it later. Start off now and accept it. You will meet amazing people :) great love opportunities await you
Thirdly...Good luck! :)

To all the people: ...SHADDAP AND TAKE YOUR OWN PERSONAL PROBLEMS TONYOUR OWN POST THREAD THINGY!!! This is for HIS question!!! Not y'all's arguments and issues!!! D: now quit acting like little kids, not meaning to be harsh, but SERIOUSLY!! D:

[Luminous]

you can only lie to yourself, if you think that will turn you straight. you were born liking the same sex, so what, just accept- no, embrace who you are! <3

[Meganium]

Im gay and im 16 but is there anyway of me turn straight

There's nothing wrong with being homosexual, and trying to change your sexuality is very...farfetched.

However, I do know that there are Gay-to-Straight camps out there. I don't know of any details about them, so that's up to you if you're taking this so seriously.

And after reading through some above posts, I guess the camps aren't such a great idea after all. :p

[Steveo1000]

If you really wanna be straight it will just happen otherwise there is no way to change it

[Bubbsy]

If you think you might want to try it with a girl you could be Bi!!

[CrazierCaptDice]

(Well, I had a friend, who was straight, then Bi, then a Bi who favoured guys, then straight gay, then Bi about even again.

He think's it's a choice, not sure what isn't true, I guess, if you think your straight and wanna be, just, do it. I guess.)

Revised Post : You can be what you want. Remember that. If you want to be gay, straight, you can be. But don't do it under pressure, it's you. It's what YOU want. Take pride in that. Go with your heart.

I'm gonna reply to this with an example.

Let's say at a supermarket, they were marking some milk with labels, but they run out. So, they try to use juice labels instead. Does that make the milk turn into juice?

Think about that, and you should see what I mean.

[beautiful__disaster]

You can't turn straight. That's like saying you could turn a straight person gay. Try to accept who you are. Why do you want to turn straight? Are people teasing you?

I'm gonna reply to this with an example.

Let's say at a supermarket, they were marking some milk with labels, but they run out. So, they try to use juice labels instead. Does that make the milk turn into juice?

Think about that, and you should see what I mean.

Very nice example and I agree. You're born how you are. You can try to change as much as you would like, but if you're gay you're gay, that's all there is to it.

I know what your saying, but your using it out of context.
People change. Gender is no obstacle to love.
Sexual orientation is irrelevant.

It's about want, and desire.

If someone wants to change, they can do it. I'm not telling him what to do. Some things can't be changed, some things can be changed. As a person, one has a choice, it's what he wants, not what is truth, not what is right. Even if it is really not possible, if one wants change, they can want it, they can try. Why should one have to accept a certain thing?

I guess what I'm saying is, lableing a human being in the first place is wrong.
People aren't like juice or milk.

And people aren't like milk, or juice.
People are living beings that flow with their emotions, perceptions, and lives. It doesn't work the same way, you can't "label" a person. Because people are dynamic.

You can't turn straight. That's like saying you could turn a straight person gay. Try to accept who you are. Why do you want to turn straight? Are people teasing you?

Yh im scared of the homfobic jokes towards me. Some of my friends dont like gay people :-(

Don't let them get to you. It doesn't matter what sex your attracted to, or rather preferenced too, etc.
A true friend wouldn't care either.

It doesn't matter your a human being, and as a human being, you deserve happiness. Do what your heart wants, not what they want, that's the most important part, but do not confuse what they want, for what you want. Remember the difference.

No one can put you down, you are your own man, remember that.
They're is nothing they can say or do, that can change you, and that's good. Be yourself.
Never let them put you down.

Remember, your own perception of yourself comes first. You can do anything, be anything you want. They have no power over you, just because someone makes fun of you, doesn't mean your horrible. It means they are prejuidiced, ignore them, and live your life, the way you want.

Your number one.

Liam, I am in the same boat as you are. I might be lesbian and my friends don't know yet. I'm planning on coming out soon (as bi first in case I'm not full on lesbian cause I'm not really sure). But I have decided that I don't care anymore. My real friends will stick with me. If they don't then they aren't really my friends. So keep your chin up and a positive attitude and remember, you come first.

If your friends can't accept who you are, they aren't true friends. Find friends who will love you and accept you for who you are.

Why should one have to accept a certain thing?

Because that's what makes you who you are. You're completely missing the point.

You can't change that about yourself, everybody knows this. But, the important part is that you shouldn't want to. And you're making it out to be like something you should want to change.

If you're gay and your friends make jokes even if you've asked them to stop just say I've them and move on. Why would you let someone give you shit for something you for the most part have no control over they're fake and were never your true friends so why even talk to a fake bitch.

I'm sorry I don't have time to read the comments but you CAN'T turn straight... Be you. I come from a very small and very old fashioned town, and when I started to have homosexual feeling I tried all kinds of unhealthy things to repress them because I was convinced I was going to Hell and that my family and friends would disown me and all kinds of stuff. I nearly ruined my entire life and destroyed relationships while I was at it. Nothing can come out of trying to be something you aren't. I've been there. As you live and gain experience, you'll find that life is so much more beautiful when you embrace it, even if it can throw some pretty crazy curve balls ;)

[hihowisitgoin]

Im not completely sure but I'm pretty sure that that is not how it works

[ExhibitG]

Im just really scared that my friends wont accept me

i was very scared too. but remember you don't have to tell them now. i promise there will come a point in your life where the emotions build up so much that you will eventually tell someone. it'll be a very nerving experience, no doubt, but it'll pay off in the long run. like i said you just have to wait it out.

[Ruairi]

There isn't really any possible way unless you want to lie to people forever which will tear you apart. Accept and embrace who you are and if you have any questions or need anyone to talk to i'm here for you bro!

[Swagamemmnon]

Some people, like myself, are sexually fluid and can change sexuality. But for most people, it's pretty much impossible to change your sexuality, and I'd suggest just accepting yourself and fitting the best you can into what you've been born with.

Don't put up with homophobic comments or actions from them or anyone. If your friends do that they aren't your friends, they are bullies. Stand your ground, make it clear you find such comments offensive and hurtful and if they won't stop and accept you then move on from them. Report it as well if it continues from them, or other people start it. Putting up with or trying to ignore such actions won't help, they shouldn't be occurring in the first place.

Good luck mate. :)

[Swagamemmnon]

^I agree. You don't have to take that kind of stuff from anybody, be strong and confident in yourself and don't let anyone bring you down.

Yeah, I can say first-hand ignoring or trying to endure bullying of any kind, including homophobia doesn't work. Also Liam, if the teachers at your school don't take it seriously and deal with it, see if you and your mum can take it further up the chain. I had to with basically anything and everything here.

[Swagamemmnon]

Before coming out at any school, I'd make sure that you have your parents' support, just to ensure a strong position against the school if necessary

[Xavier2]

Yes, should have mentioned that in my post. Get your parents backing, if any bullying occurs it should be taken straight to the staff. If they say "oh we'll get right on that" and it's obvious they haven't, get your parents to find out a higher up who will deal with it.

[liam2013]

Thanks for the help everyone :-)

[Zanman11]

I really think there's no way that you can turn straight. It's just the way you're wored...sorry man

[townofsalem59]

Mate there's no way to "turn" straight , gay is normal.. there's nothing wrong with it... i know it's hard but you don't have to be depressed or sad for being gay....
