Should I tell my friends at school my embarrassing Health problem?

Question:

Having to keep this secret is eating me up inside. I'm a normal girl in high school and in April i was told that the reason i hadn't started my period was because of a hormone defect. I have no uterus, and was born with testes instead of overies. I had surgury to remove the gonads 3 weeks ago. Ever since school has been a nightmare. I have missed so much school because of depression and anxiety that has followed me. I only wish i could talk to my friends without becoming a freak show at school.The only thing that keeps me from getting over it, is the fact that I can never have kids of my own. I need others opinions and advice. Any encouragement and words of wisdom are greatly appreciated. help me please.

Answers:
That's a personal health matter, and I can totally understand why you want to keep it private. You need to really evaluate your friends and decided if you can trust them enough. I think what you're probably wondering is if your condition makes you weird, and you're most likely wanting to tell somebody in an effort to discover the answer to that question. The truth is that everybody has something that makes them different, and it's not as if you chose this condition, it's just something unfortunate that has happened to you.

Whatever you decide to do, don't let anybody make you feel like you're strange, and don't take the opinions of a few high school kids as the absolute truth. Good luck with everything, and just remember to stay strong. There will be better days ahead.

Just be happy who you are, don't go nuts over this. Adoption is always a possibility if you wish to have kids.
