I’m So Sick of Being 15…What’s Wrong With Me?

Question by Natalie: I’m so sick of being 15…What’s wrong with me?
This is going to be long, but I don’t care.
I also posted this twice, once in Psychology, once in Adolescence.

I had two periods of time that were complicated for me so far:
11 and 15 (currently).

At 11, I was really self-conscious. I was really skinny, and as I write this, I realize I probably had borderline anorexia. I saw myself twice as big as I really was, and didn’t eat a lot. This probably was due to my parents’ divorce, my dad’s secret relationship with a new woman, the fact that my class in the public school I started going to was out of control. I was shy, quiet, and tried hiding myself in the biggest possible sweaters I could find. I felt like dying.

Gay and Lesbian Treatment Centers?

Question by Kathryn Bauer: Gay and Lesbian Treatment Centers?
I’m trying to do some research for a paper in my educational psychology grad class. Are there such things as “treatment centers” for gays and lesbians to “teach them they’re wrong”? I’ve heard of such awful places in the past but when I tried to do research all I came up with was gay and lesbian friendly substance abuse centers. Anyone who can point me in the right direction-thanks! All I need to show in my paper is that such places exist…..I don’t agree with such places.
