Dear Janus, Earth Angel and Poet:

It is almost unbelievable that in this day and age, a set of parents can be so ignorant and uneducated. I suggest that you inquire about the possibility of a counselor in Stockton or an LGBT counselor or volunteer who has experience talking to parents of LGTS young people, making an appointment with your parents and explain to them a few basic things, such as that there is such as a thing as a (huge) mental crisis in the world and that schools, universities, community resources, governments of many countries… all address the world wide  mental crisis which your parents completely deny!!!

Some professional needs to explain to them that mental health illnesses and challenges are not Fantasy, but a real and painful Reality!!!
