Don’t back down, ever. What are they going to do, punch you? You’ve had worse.
It’s ok to be yourself, they might not understand but will respect you for it.
Don’t try to label yourself, you’ll never find a match and will only doubt yourself.
You are loved by more people than you realize. Talk to someone if you feel hurt or confused.
Most importantly: I believe in you.
PS: go easy on your little brother, he has his own crap to deal with.
