My parents have always been so suspicious about me. My mum thinks I smoke marijuana because genetically my eyes are always bloodshot and bulgy, and my dad thinks I am a criminal or something too but it's a long story.
I've been going down to the skatepark my whole life, but since I'm an older guy there now, all the kids come up to me and have fun speaking to me or trying to be my friend. I enjoy it too, but my parents don't see it that way. Most of these kids are boys aged around 10. So that's where the "parents think i'm gay" side comes from. Then they heard I walked off with this boy down to the beach or whatever (we were doing flips together), but apparently nobody else saw it that way.
I've gotten public pedophile allegations from onlookers and their parents which is really upsetting because that isn't who I am at all. It reminds me of Michael Jackson, when he would play with the kids and act so kindly, yet the media portrayed him as a pedophile.
Being seen as a pedophile online vs in real life is so different. Online it's just a bunch of leftist trolls whereas in real life it can literally destroy your life.
