My Friend is a Lesbian
by Essence of friendship.
When I was in grade school, I was just a sort of normal student. I mean study whenever needed and then straight to home when the bell rang. Nothing really exciting about those years. Til my sixth grade. A girl just a few classrooms away, sent a letter to one of my classmates. It was actually a love letter. The words are just funny. Well, what do we expect of from a sixth grader.
According to her, she really liked that girl, she’s pretty as she describes her. but of course for me, nothing special.
Funny is that a guy from our room admitted her admiration for that lesbian I’m talking. Let’s call him MR and the lesbian MS. MR was just so passive but seems pretty in love with MS. So, we, as his concerned classmates cared to make him some letters. What we actually wrote was a bit sweet and we’re not even sure if she’s a real lesbian so we’ll give a shot. (haha.)
Unfortunately, we’re rejected. What’s worse is that MS actually had crush on me and a bunch of my girlfriends.(really just friends.)
Well, graduation approached so no more.
High school life started. I saw her again. She became my classmate this time. All I can think of are those funny moments when we used to wrote her love letters assuming we are MR.
I known that she’s nice. She’s actually a talkative and kinda clumsy person.
Once, she joined a contest. She even peed on her pants for some sort of reasons. she just can’t hold it anymore. I burst into laughter and she too, did. when it’s gonna be me on her situation, I’d die on shame but she just proves that it’s nothing like she’s even proud of it.
We became best of friends and she admitted that she is a lesbian. She like cute gals but never actually fall for them so I guess she’s not a real one. Whatever it maybe, acceptance is all I can offer.
But guess what? a new revelation….

Just a couple of typos that I saw, nothing major. Pee is peed, connest is contest, “we’ll give a shot” add it between give and a. Actually it is an interesting article. I have friends that are lesbian and gay and they are some of the greatest people in the world. Keep writing, you have piped my interest.

Your friend sounds like she makes you think. That’s good! I hope she doesn’t mind you writing such personal stories… but then if she’s proud of peeing her pants I guess she won’t mind the world knowing she did it.
Is there a second half to this story? What’s the ‘new revelation’?

wow.. I don’t blame them for being that way, there are many ways on how they are sexually attracted by their own gender. I respect genuinality and nice personal story.

Sympathetically told.
You write a bit in pidgin Enlish, so I assume it may not be your first language. If you want it to be, you need to read lot’s of English, to see how sentences are constructed and made concise and readable.
Hope this doesn’t offend and helps.

Sorry typo, pidgin English.

I enjoyed your story. That is good that you were able to be friends even though you are different. Some people wouldn’t be willing to be friends with people if they are gay/lesbian and that’s a shame. One of my cousins is a lesbian, but that doesn’t bother me. I also had a friend in school who is gay and he was so incredibly sweet to me. We have gone our separate ways, but he was a good friend to me.

I like this personal essay- good topic. Sometimes it is a little unclear- what kind of contest did she join?Why and when did she pee on herself (lol)? And from what I read in the 3rd paragraph, I was under the impression that the love letters were written to *MR* not to MS.
A writer’s rule- whatever you like to write, you should read- if you like writing personal essays, I suggest reading David Sedaris or anything from the Best American Essays Series (which is really, really good reading). You can also read The New Yorker online (www.newyorker.com)

I think it’s great Jane that you are supportive of your friend MS – Some advice Jane: Do not assume that she is attracted to you just because you are a girl. Never try to ‘convert’ one of your lesbian friends, because it will not work.
I agree with Oldster, reading can help you express ideas clearly in writing.

You actually have the makings of a series if you thread the past into the present then future. It’s a great foundation for social awareness piece and you could get into character development with more dialogue making the words breath life into the story. You have some great building blocks here. Go for it!

Good for you on accepting her as she is a regular person just like everyone. I have several gay friends and I don’t even remember they are gay unless they bring up the subject.

I don’t know whether or not I like this article. It has nothing to do with your writing ability because to say English is not your first language you’re pretty damn good!
My main issue with it is that I’m not sure you’d get as much of a response from an article written in the same light about a straight guy/girl.
For me the article needs more than ’she’s a lesbian’ to carry it.
That’s just my opinion though, many other people like it so do your thing!

I agree with emma haynes. I am a gospel preacher and i have a perspective on lesbianism that i don’t think i need to elaborate on. You guessed it, but keep on writing and welcome to triond.

In addition to the suggestion made above to read high-quality work to improve your own writing, I would also suggest finding someone to proofread your work before you post. I have someone who proofs most of what I write, and he is always able to catch choppy sentences and the misuse of words for me.
You have a very good start here, welcome to Triond!

Good job. I think a friend is a friend, no matter their sexual preference. As for mistakes in your writing, we all make them, and get better with practice. So just keep at it.

Good personal story. hope that your ‘lesbian’ friend doesn’t get upset about the peeing stuff.

I liked it. Your piece is pleasing to the eyes. Just be careful whenever you share information on other people, because they may not feel comfortable with it.
You can certainly improve your English, but considering this isn’t your first language, you did pretty well.
Above all, congratulations for offering acceptance to your friend. We live in such an intolerant world. Tolerant people are much needed, because they’re the ones who make a difference.
