Its great you put this together, this should be made into a sticky for those who may need it in the future.

[Lovelife090994]

This was thoughtful. I'm just too scared to call anyone.

[backjruton]

That's awesome :D Not that I ever would because all family members in this house have told me I absolutely suck at talking on the phone, but this kind of thing could be really helpful for those who's heads are in a mess about it... although, what kind of things could you ask on a helpline anyway? :confused:

[Dalcourt]

Thanks a lot, for taking your time and put these numbers together. This will be really helpful to many forumers I'm sure.:)

Questions about your sexuality, practicing safe sex, etc. It's a good place to just talk things through with someone anonymous.

I've never had any reason to call them because everyone is cool with my sexuality, and is a partial secret, but thank god for these help lines.
