​

Growing up I had a very "normal" life growing up in a semi detached house in Essex, with a my parents and brother nothing could have been more generic.

​

Apart from when I hit 13/14 years I started having "wrong" feelings that normal boys, at my age do not have when I start hitting puberty, but I had feelings for the same sex.

​

Honestly, I didn't know how to deal with it and I went to a very dark place with my self I didn't have anyone to turn to. So at this point I was desperate for anyone to notice my situation, however I felt so awkward trying to reach out.

 

So when I had my first relationship it wasn't healthy there was a lot of physical violence thrown at me and I needed a way out. However I was just to scared to do anything.

​

Furthermore, when I finally gathered the courage to focus on myself it was the best thing I have done in my life as with the courage to leave I have managed to get the confidence to tell my family and friends who have been so supportive and I couldn't wish for anything better.

 

So for anyone out there struggling trust me the initial task may be hard but in the long run you will never look back. Stay strong an break the trend.
