Hi everyone,
I'm Kelly Elizabeth, sixteen, and female by natural design. I'm a sophmore in Chicago, IL, and my freshman year I came out a bit forcibly. I don't technically identify myself as anything, because I'm so confused as to whether I'm a bisexual or a lesbian, because very rarely I'm sexually and romantically attracted to a man, but my main focus is women. I was in denial for so long, and now I'm free. I'll admit that it hasn't been easy in the slightest sometimes. I go to a Catholic high school, and the ignorance of some students and teachers is simply appalling, and I recieved some flack after coming out. Also, I entered into my first lesbian relationship my freshman year with a gorgeous, intelligent, tragic girl who turned out to be incredibly abusive and manipulative. In the nine months we were together, she beat me down to the point where I believed I deserved to die. Finally, with help from my friends, I realized that I deserve happiness and left her. Seven months later, I'm healthier by miles and more ready to accept myself than ever. One of my goals going forward is to speak out against lesbian dating abuse and violence, and teen dating abuse. I'm proud to be who I am, and I want to help other people in need.
