Ok, so I’m 11 years old and yes, obviously I’ve had my period. So, I think I’m bi, but I don’t know and it’s scary. My mums side of the family is Christian and I live with them because my mum and dad split up and he moved to Perth.

So back to the problem, they are homophobic and I’m going to be honest with you guys, I cut, because I had a crush on a girl in this STEM program I did and it only lasted for a few weeks because STEM ended, but I did it because I was scared and felt like I did something wrong.

When my mum found out that I cut from my school principal, we were both crying in my car, and she asked why I did it so I told her and she told me she loved me no matter what.

But for some reason after that every time my Nana (or any family from her side) comes over to our house, they always talk horribly about gays and how they’re ‘disgusting’ and ‘in-human’ and I feel so bad because my mum contributes to it even after I told her how I felt.

I have a new crush on a girl now, she was new and I really like her, but I feel sick and disgusted with myself for it because of the way they talk.

Should I feel bad about it?

I really don’t know anymore, I try to suppress my feelings but I can’t and so many nights I cry myself to sleep because of it, I don’t know what’s to do.
