Answer 5

From most of my actions being controlled and from lack reason to acquire knowledge, I was a robot. I can see where my will was so incredibly limited that I really had none.



I realized I was different when I moved out at 15. Prior to that, I was a social moron who never left the house. I missed on average to 150 days of school a year up until grade nine, when I dropped out.



I took to selling drugs. In doing so I grew up within the criminal element. From this, I was fortunate enough to have the intelligent and morally sound individuals drawn to me.



I am who I am because of an absolute necessity to acquire knowledge and experiences and have been blessed with a few good souls.



Everyone is different, even those who follow mainstream or whatever that is.



We are essentially variations of the same product.









Well kind of.

Answer 6

I felt different from everyone else at around 16 but started to act out if you will later on when I was about 19.. I march to the beat of a different drummer. I never liked doing things because everyone else was doing them.

If I did something and by chance it was what everyone elese was doing then fine.

As far as being with another guy that was not carried out until 1999 when I was 26

Answer 7

Woah, some people realized young. I was 14 when I was really able to deal with it. I think I first had a crush on a girl in 5th grade. I was always boyish before that, but honestly, I'm not a really stereotypical lesbian.

Answer 8

I remember when I was in 2nd grade I first noticed that I was attracted to kids of the same sex. I tried to deny it because I didn't want it to be true. So I was 15 before I finally accepted it to myself. It definately wasn't a choice because I'd still rather be straight.

Answer 9

I accepted it at 16, but i knew when i was about 7 or 8, but at the time i didn't know that i knew that i was a lesbian, or really that i was different. But i had "lesbianic tendencies" only i didn't know it! Looking back i understand it now!
