Hello, my name is Jared and I'm having some relationship issues, and I was wondering if I can get some advice on what to do? My boyfriend and I have a had our ups and downs and we've been over coming them for the past eleven months but this past month we've been having issues nd I don't know why. I think part of the reason is that the 2 hour long-distance is getting in the way that we haven't seen each other for awhile. We saw each other back in August and that was it. We were so used to seeing each other every month for a weekend, and now we can't do that any more until I have my Thanksgiving and Christmas vacation. I attend college which sadly gets in the way of our monthly visits because I have a class on Saturdays. I noticed that ever since I've been at college, he's been starting to act like how he was back when we started dating in Nov. 2011. I'm worry about myself and being protective of who I hang with. I have talked to him about this change but he just ignores it or he won't give me the answer I'm looking for. I love him so much but I feel like that's slipping away because of what's going on, and I don't know what to do. I'm not ready to leave when this can be fixable, and I don't want to go through this either. Please, does anyone have advice I can use? Much appreciated.

Ms. Bannock: Dear Jared, be patient, love can be very tricky sometimes when both of you have either jobs, schooling or both. The most important thing is that try to keep the communication between you and him going as long as you can but don't expect an answer so soon, however facebook is probably the only way to keep you's guys talking. 

I'm a 14 yr.old gay boy and most kids my age don't know what love is but being gay you really have to know what your heart desires for the person you have feelings for and you just can't help but have it, anyway I first actually see it when I fell in love with a guy at my school and he was no ordinary guy and was the most fantastic person in the universe and he wasn't that cute but he had the personality but anyways I was pretty sure he was bi because he went around telling everyone he was so I was like fuck yeah but come to find out he didn't have any kind of feelings for me and it hurt alot because he had my heart and several months past I got stronger but not strong enough to overcome that love and no matter what he did nothing made me fall out of love I cried myself to sleep every night but nothing happened and eventually one day I told my best friend about it and how I wanted him soooooo bad and she told me that I needed to snap out of it because I need to open my eyes and see there are many guys out there that were better than him and the next day at school I found one and he was bi but he broke my heart as well but luckily it didn't hurt as bad and I'm standing were I am now and to be honest I still want the first guy but every day I get a little bit stronger and one day ill overcome it.

Ms. Bannock: She's right, they're so many beautiful gay guys are there. The worst part is that straight girls want them to be their boyfriends, good luck!

Hello, I've posted on here before my name is Alex I'm a 15 yr. old bisexual and I've came out to my family a few weeks ago. Ever since then they've been treating me like as if I'm not their son or I don't at the house at all sometimes and a few times I had to sleep in my friends car I don't know how to make my parents understand I'm still the same son they've raised and loved for soooo many years please help I really dont know what to do.

Ms. Bannock: Alex, give your parents time. I believed that they are worried that you can be at risk of catching the AIDS virus but I know which I hope you do, protecting yourself from unsafe sex with multiple partners of the same and opposit sex. Another thing is that they will see that having a relationship with someone you could fall in love with can lead to emotional difficulties even if you decide to have children without marriage, very difficult for the parents.

I am a 19 yr.old gay male, I always knew I was gay from a very young age. I found interest in girls toys and everything else. I'm not feminine and I don't dress as a girl. I just find they're clothes pretty. Anyway I was in Gr 9 when it really kicked in that I was gay. So I just kept it to myself and never told anyone. Three years ago I told my friend that I was Bi. Wasn't ready to fully admit it to anyone. So I told her I was Bi and she was happy that I told her. And over the last 3 years I came out to more friends and I lost some. Like alot if them. Than I told my brother back.in May and he freaked out and he had a hard time excepting it. And when I came out to my mom. I was afraid and scared that she would dis-own me and hate me. So when I told her I was gay she asked if I'm sure and everything and she told me it was a phase. I know that it's isn't a phase. After that I came out on facebook. Worst mistake ever!!. But since July I felt like an outcast and kinda hated. By some of my.family. I can see that my dad, mom and siblings look at me differently and my mom calls me names that I won't repeat on here but you can all guess what six letter word that I get called. And I'm tired of this pain and hurt I feel in myself everyday I just want it to go away. Back in February I tried to commit suicide but I couldn't go through with it so instead I would cut and mutilate my skin. I want to find " the one". And if I do, hopefully I will be happy and feel safe I side my own body. Thank you for listening! Also, there is this guy I really like and he is bi and he is nice and very kindhearted. I seen him a couple times and he is older than me at 24 and I'm 19. I think I have fallen in love with him. When I think of him I get butterflies and when I'm around him I am nervous and shy. I think he knows that I like him and he stares at me all the time and when we kiss it is wonderful. And I want to know how I can tell him I love him without getting hurt in the end. Plz help!

Ms. Bannock: Your parents are assholes and you should dis-own them, not them dis-own you. Your are the future and it does not matter what your parents, siblings or anybody else think. I'm glad you have a boy in mind that you really like so keep at it. Like I mention, you are the future so make that change.
