You read it correctly, and apparently Manga and Anime has turned me into a lesbian. At least, that's what my mother has assumed. Now I just found this website, which is strangely unblocked on my computer which typically filters out anything to do with homosexuality.
It started in May, when I read a book called So Hard To Say for English. At the time, I thought I was 100% straight. The book is about a boy who is dealing with teenage homosexuality, and towards the end he kisses another boy. I know it was two boys, but I can remember reading that part in Geography and looking at my friend Shaye and thinking how nice it would be to kiss her.
And so it started.
I went to an Anime Con with Shaye and her mother, my mom agreeing only after meeting the mother and Shaye. When we returned, I knew that I really, really liked Shaye. In that way. I didnt tell anyone, but Shaye and I started playing a game in our Gym class where we pretended to be dating, to freak out the popular girls.
About two weeks after the Con, Shaye was at my house for a two night sleepover. I took my chance and kissed her, and well, sttuff happened. Being like any normal teenager, I had to write about ten pages of diary enteries about my first kiss.
Guess who read that diary whilst her daughter was attending school?
My mom did, and she confronted me about it. Shaye and I weren't allowed to see each other at all in the summer, she called Shayes mother to tell her about what we had done (we didnt have sex or anything, I swear!) and even concidered sending me to a private school, so I wouldnt ever see Shaye. She also found that Anime and stuff did actually contain stuff about gay men and everything in it sometimes, and insisted that that was what had caused me to change.
Now Shaye has broken up with me, and I'm still trying extremely hard to get over that, I honestly thought everything would be okay once summer was over and we could see each other again, but things change. i guess. Now my mom has stopped talkiing about it all the time.
Well, thats my life story, I guess, I kinda left some stuff out on this topic that maybe I'll add in later but that's all for now!
I am sorry about you and Shaye. Just be glad that you got to hav that experience and short time with her. I hope you are doing alright, and that things will get better with time. I wish u good luck! and thank you for posting this :)
Now she gets really mad because I'll take out books that are classified as Gay Fiction, that arent even manga. They are novels, but she doesnt like the subject, obviously.
Thanks for the stuff about Shaye!
