Will youAccept me
The way
I
Am?
Full views are appreciated.
Old news; I'm a bisexual. And when my parents found out I feared they'd be furious. Lucky enough for me, they weren't. Yet the one thing my Mom did was 10 times as bad as being mad at me;
She refused to believe me.
And I'm not very sure whether she believes me now or not.
I should be writing right now. Yet instead I commenced drawing.
This is done with both charcoal and acrylics, yet AGAIN the damned camera destroyed the colours. I managed to save most of them and create some contrast using my beloved drawing programs (artweaver and Paint.net), yet the colours among the floor should've been fading into each other. Now they're sternly separated.
Ah well. I love the result, especially the way it is in real life.
No critic because most flaws on this are the camera's fault. Again.
Plus, I'm a fifteen year old teenage girl stuck in the worst period of the month. You... shouldn't. You wouldn't survive.
LEAVE A DAMNED COMMENT FOR ONCE, PLEASE. Instead of just faving and running. I really want to know what your interpretation of this work sounds like.

I can't believe someone actually understood the existance of the mask in this piece!

your welcome it to me was very clear what the mask ment i think it is a very meaningful piece and i can understand that the disbelief attitude of your mother would be more of a shock than anger, As we would expect anger. I am a mother and my eldest daughter who is 14 has a few bi and gay friends and she has told me of their parents reactions and they have varied greatly from acceptance to being disowned.

Wow. Ahh, that's always the way things go... I just fail to understand how it would be possible for a mother/father to hate his/het own child just because of a minor change in sexuality. Not that I can know what it'd feel like when your child would confess such things to you, I'm far too young to have children, yet I know that disowning is far over the top.

I'm in the same shoes as you except my parents are fundamentalist catholics, so they'll be angry when they find out.

Thank so much
Well, I'll never understand why it's so wrong to be gay, anyway. I mean; we're just people like everyone else...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, it's asinine.
It's just love - it's nothing to be afraid of. It's the basis of almost all religions, the reason of why we are here...it doesn't make any sense. *could rant for an eon.*
And I'm your age.

Oh lord. Sexuality. It's something I could rant on and on about, too!

I know. It's so infuriating, having to hide from people, and even more so when they don't understand.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's why you shouldn't hide it. I don't hide it either, and well, of course my parents found out eventually.
...that didn't make any sense. :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes it does. A few of my friends know. I, very unfortunately for me, go to an all-girl's catholic school. (Torture for the hormones.) So it's hard. I don't hide it, but I don't openly gawk either. If someone asks, I answer truthfully. ('cause I like girls better than guys.)

Poor you! I'm lucky. I'm in artschool, and homosexuality is so much better accepted in those places, you know.
But a catholic all-girl's school... it must be about the most prudish thing this planet has.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Woah. Art school?! Aren't you only 15? What kind of school is that? What's it like? You have other classes too, right?
It is. It's an excellent school for getting a good education but seriously....raging hormones tend to strike every day....It's good for learning self-control though. I'm practicing......
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, yeah, I'm 15, but it's art highschool, you know. We have other classes too, only less of them, and spend longer days at school so we can have the art classes. Next year I'll be officially studying for traditional arts.
Hormones. Aack. Our enemies... D8

That's so amazing, I wish I was you. Wow...you're so lucky. I've never even heard of an art highschool. I can barely draw - I just started seriously drawing this year.
Oh yeah, try going to my school. Uniforms = short skirts. Gym class = torture. Catholicism = me hiding. Funnn.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, there aren't a lot of them. In Belgium we just happen to have a few. And I'm lucky enough to live near one of them.
...SKIRTS? don't make me barf! D8 I need my boyshoes, ties, mittens, wristbands and long trousers to survive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lucky. I don't know of any near where I am in America.
Yup. Blackwatch plaid skirts in the winter, tan or blue in the spring/early fall (yet still summer) months. Tights in the winter, knee socks for the spring uniform. Short sleeve light polos in the spring, long sleeve and sweaters in the winter.
No radical hair colours, black or blue shoes. Or tan, I guess.
I want to live in Belgium. NOW.

...YUCK!!!
Aaack!! Suddenly I'm very, very happy to live here. D8 That outfit sounds horrible... No offence.
Everyone looks the same, then? How effing boring is that? I could never get used to such lifestyle. Not that I'm all badgirl-badgirl here, no, I just enjoy looking at least a BIT different...
The wheather isn't too fabulous here, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I honestly don't care about what I wear. That's the thing about an all girls school....most people lose their modesty (or sanity) by the end. We're on a hill and we're all alone, and we act like lunatics. I love it.
The uniforms aren't too bad, we focus a lot on academics, and you know what you're wearing every day. (which means I can get up at 7:30 to be ready for school at 7:55)
The good thing is that it's VERY comfortable.
I like the weather where I am. It's beautiful out today.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Still...
I wouldn't survive, probably. Not after being used to artschool like this.
Ahh, lucky!! I hate Belgium for its wheather!! >

It's possible, trust me. The art program is amazing.
It's soooo sunny here today!!!

Go ahead. Make me all jealous for your precious sunshine... D8
...there's sun here too right now, though <3

Actually, it's a little tooooo hot for my taste, right now. I like the sun, but I prefer autumn.

Too hot. Ahh. I've barely ever felt that. D8

I feel it every single bloody summer.

I love how just the subject is black and white.
This shocked me when i first saw it.
Awesome job!

Thank you so much! <3 Oh my, I've never really shocked anyone with an artwork before (not in a good way, that is
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
That is a really awesome picture. I really love the way the colors are, its beautiful.
I'm also bi, I told my mom, nervous, but all she did was ask how I knew, but then she accepted me for who I am. Haven't told my dad yet, though, but I desperatly want to. *sighs* Unfortunatly, he never comes over when I'm at my grandpa's, and I think he already is distant enough, so I'll tell him next time I see him.
...Wow, that came out more depressing than I'd hoped.xD Oh well, I'm kinda bitchy at this time.xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lucky lucky you. You got to tell her yourself.
Being bitchy is what many of us do
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really? I have a bad feeling that thats going to be how my dad finds out. Oh well, as long as he finds out. I wanna tell him before vacation, but I'm so bitchy right now. Thats the bad thing about procrastionation, when you don't finish a story and you wanna get it up before you go on vacation, you up till 3:30 in the morning to finish writing it, then typing it up.xD Shoulda stayed ion bed.
Yep, true.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It would help if he'd actually come over finally. I've been looking at a lot of LGBT pride stuff on Dev over the weekend and I'm ready to tell him if I see him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm surprised you actually found this piece between them all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Took me a while to find, but I did.xD Yeah, but I'm glad I found it. Its really cool.
Thanks. And I hope. Its his wife that I'm worried about, luckily I hate her and don't care what her opinion of me is, but he only listens to what she says. Oh well, I'll get through to him eventually.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh. The new-wife-slave circumstances? I pity your father
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pretty much. Whats worse is the stepsister who is nine. He can't take a few hours every other weekend to be with his actual daughter. I think its because he thinks I was a mistake.((My mom and dad were never married and there was a Sunday they were eating here when he said you shouldn't sleep with someone unless you're married.)) But yeah, he's basically a lapdog now. HE's more of a wimp than Blitz, our ninety something pound German shephard that gets pinned by my 52 pound mixed breed.XD

Haha 8D Ahh, don't be so harsh on him! :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I try not to be, I just get bitchy a lot.xD Mostly when tired. Staying up till almost 4:00 in the morning qualifies for that.xD

You need coffee, coffee always helps!

XD True. I had Coke instead. Caffiene.....XD Yeah, just had lunch.XP

Oh boy...dad is here...crap...couldn't give me time to finish my poem. Eh, I'll try and tell him. I hate being pessimistic, all thoughts of telling him lead down bad paths.xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wish you good luck! Remember, he might turn out shocked, but don't let him get to you in case things get out of hand!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! And I hope they don't. But, if I don't tell him now, I'll be thinking about it all of vacation, that's why I hope he comes up here. The poem I'm writing I started when thinkign of telling him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Go downstairs and tell him now! 8D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I should...Damn my procrastionation and determination, not a good combination! Plus being pessimistic.XD I think I'm going to show him this poem when I'm done, its all truth.
