I have good news for you.  You are at the prime age to plot out your destiny.  If you plan to go to college you should find a plethora of opportunities to meet new gay people and friends.  Even in a rural setting, campus life is full of 'sex-capades' that you can partake in....God bless higher education!  Obviously, a religiously-based University would probably not be the best place for you  to explore.  Whether you attend college or not, you will also find that there are gay organizations and support groups that offer a chance to be active in the community and meet other gay people.

While you're still in high school, it can be difficult to decipher who is gay and who is not, especially if your community is not gay friendly.  You may be surprised at your 10 year reunion how many gay class mates will surface by that time. In the mean time, keep an eye out for any flirtation that may be directed towards you.  There may be a secret admirer out there.  Be patient, my dear and try to stay focused on eventually getting yourself in a place that will allow for you to meet more gay cuties.
