I am not a teen, but I hear these kinds of stories about GSAs over and over again. You don't need this kind of negativity in your life. You also don't need to tether yourself to kids who either have severe mental health problems or who are so desperate for attention that they are pretending to be members of a minority group.

Since I am old, the only advice I can give you is to do what other young lesbians (and gay boys) did back in the day and find your people among those who share your interests, whether it's sports or music or whatever. Yes, there will be mostly straight kids there and the lesbians and gay boys might not be out yet. But if you have an interest that attracts a higher-than-average number of lesbians (for example, women's basketball or playing in a rock band), you should find someone you can click with. At the very least, you will be doing something fun and interesting instead of sitting around a room with a bunch of navel gazers.
