Bullying in Canada / BC (live, moving to, gay)

[Canadalover15]

My parents told me that I am moving to British Columbia (Vancouver) next year. I am really freaked out. I'm 15 years old and I am terrified about being bullied, I'm just so scared about being bullied and not fitting in. I'm gay and that just makes it all worse. Also, people told me that teens in BC tend to smoke a lot of weed and do drugs, that also kind of terrifies me because I don't want to be peer pressured into doing that.

I'm not generalizing or stating facts, I'm just saying what I read online. From what I heard Canadians are great people and I shouldn't be scared about being bullied, so you never know.


Are bullying, homophobia and teen drug use frequent there?

Thanks

Do you get bullied where you live now?

I don't think bullying is worse here than anywhere else. Probably cyber-bullying is worse than person to person bullying. Choose your friends wisely.

Homophobia .... teens here seem to be pretty cool about LGBT relationships so I doubt you'll encounter much homophobia.

Drug use .... in BC there are lots of people of all ages who do drugs of one kind or another. There's also lots of people who don't. Again, choose your friends wisely and don't be a wimp about saying no.
