Hi Raysam
Although we've said that age 18 is probably best I've read your profile and I guess that you aren't 18 yet. That's ok, how old are you.
You also say that you are scared. I remember when I was young and wondering whether I was the only person in the world like this, it can be very scary. But as you grow older you learn that it isn't as bad as you think. We all went through what you are feeling.
A word of caution though. Through posting on this board you might have been e-mailed directly by people. Be very careful if that is the case and under no circumstances give anybody your address, or phone number, or agree to meet them. If you want to talk then it is probably best to do it in an open forum like this one.
Best wishes
Sarah
