The bible for gay youth.

After seeing this book in the hands of one of my very good friends, I had to take a look. When thumbing through it and saw some highlighting. Now I'm not one to highlight a book so I giggled and sort of thoght it was childish. Well next month I find the book in the library and check it out. Well needless to say, I was highlighting the parts that I though pertained to me. (shhhh! It was a library copy...Hey I used pencil) I now consider this my gay yout bible. For any gay youth out there one of the main fealings that overwelms you is that fealing of lownlyness. Afer reading the book I knew that not only was I not alone, but I was very well off. No matter what situation your in, In, out, Bi, Gay, even Straight. If you want to know more about a gay youths trials and tribualtions this is the book. With 33% of all teenage suicide being based on sexual orientation issues, I belive more books like this should be used to prevend and disscuss this though-to-be taboo subject. Gay youth is out there. And for the most part, we feal alone. Read this book.
