I hope all of you who are so very good at helping kids, will take the time to write to this guy.
Send your e-mail to me and I will copy/paste & send to him without disclosing your e-mail address. This is protect myself. I don't know him- he doesn't know me - this is a random stranger E-mailing an organization (the ARA) for help.
Please, please - all of you write to him. Just send your replies to my e-mail and he will get them. He needs advice, encouragement, some friends, some role models, and support. Thanks guys.

Hey to everyone at the ARA,
I found you guys through a friend. She is the greatest and my best form of support, but she is going off to camp for 3 months then moving away so i am basically going to lose her.
Anyway I'm 17 and my parents are forcing me to go to a NARTH meeting in D.C. this weekend. There is no way i am going to a place where they can try to brainwash me and make me feel bad for who I am. I couldn't be responsible for my actions if i went.
I'm not sure if you aware of NARTH but my parents have spoken to the group for a few months now and have become completely brainwashed by the members. They say they are against forced change and yet they are forcing me to go to this weekend of speeches and meetings. Also this is a non-profit organization and yet it costs $500 to go.
Hmmmmm......sounds suspicious to me. Anyway I really don't know what to do my parents are definitaly convinced beyond a doubt. They believe that if i don't get changed back to "normal" that I will get AIDS and start using drugs and never be happy. They force every gay identity and stereotype on me possible. They no longer understand anything I say and I can't convince them of anything, even that I will still lead the healthy life that I deserve. I can't take this crap anymore. Everything if anything you can do would be of great appreciation even if it's just advice. I'm all ears.
Thanx
-Ryan
