My most embarrassing moment came one day when someone I thought was a friend hacked my computer. It was my fault really because I chose an obvious password and he guessed it. I was 15. A few weeks earlier I had gone into a video chat room for gay men and jerked off on my web cam while telling a couple of the guys how much I wanted them to come and fuck me. I told them I was hot for a gang bang and how I liked really big cocks and how I loved it when guys laughed at my tiny little clit dick. I got lots of laughter and jerked off and came. Well my so called friend found the file on my drive and I didn't even know it had recorded. Well he burned it to disc and distributed it to the entire school. He literally emailed a copy to every email address at school which meant every student and every teacher, even the principal got a copy. By 2nd period kids passing me in the hall were mocking me repeating the words I had spoken in the chat room. Every where I went in school there was ridicule and mocking awaiting me. By fifth period the principal had called me into the office. He told me he had been given a copy of the video and asked what I knew about it. I was too embarrassed to even answer. In fact I burst into tears. I thought he was going to expel me. Instead he got up and walked over to me and put his arms around me and told me not to cry. He calmed me down and told me that everything would be OK. He told me that when he was in high school a person he thought was a friend had outed him and that he had to change schools due to the unrelenting torment. He said that was an option and he could arrange it but asked if would be ok for him to try to fix the issue so I could remain in that high school.

I was stunned. I had no idea the principal was gay too. His kind words made me feel a bit better but I was still humiliated. I sat there alone in his office while he left. He came back a while later with the IT teacher and my former friend. The principal had gotten the IT teacher to find out who sent the emails. I already knew who it was but they had evidence. Then my principal told my former friend they knew he was the one who sent the emails. Then the told him that if he did not want to go to prison for life and be on the sex offender list forever he would get up at an assembly in front of the entire student body and confess to creating the video with CGI and that the IT teacher would confirm that he indeed got the software by stealing it from the IT center. He then told him he would apologize to me in front of the entire class. Further, he would confess that he did it because he asked me out on a date and I turned him down. My former friend refused at first but then backed down and agreed to the terms.

So the next morning at the beginning of school we were all called to an assembly. I sat in the audience between the IT teacher and the principal. The assistant principal and my home room teacher sat behind me. Both of them kept a hand on my shoulders reassuringly. Then the superintendent got up to the podium and announced that my former friend had an announcement he wanted to make. My friend dejectedly mounted the stage and confessed. He confessed to sending the emails. He confessed that he had created the video with cgi and he confessed that he had asked me out on a date and I rejected him and that was why he did it. He apologized to me and the entire school and begged for my forgiveness. He was then escorted off the stage and off school grounds. He was transferred to another high school. Meanwhile the principal got up to the podium and asked the student body to let me know how they felt about me. Almost everyone got up and gave me a standing ovation. The ridicule and mocking had ended. But then something strange happened. People started coming up to me telling me that if I was gay it was OK. They weren't being sarcastic. They really meant it. Then something even stranger happened. Several really cute boys approached me and told me they were gay and some asked me out on a date. Several gay boys offered their friendship and in the next few weeks several came out. Two gay boys on the football team came out and all but dared anyone to say anything about it. One appointed himself my part time body guard. Suddenly I had a lot of guys ask me out to school dances. The next school dance the principal came out to the entire school and announced that gay and lesbian couples would be welcome at ALL school functions and that discrimination and hate speech would not be tolerated.

While I was slow dancing with my date at the school dance the quarterback on the Varsity football team asked to cut in. I was shocked. I thought he was dating the head cheerleader. He then told me that he was not gay but if he was he would want to date me and then he passed me back to my date. I was told by several players that night that they had my back. It was all I could do not to cry.

Later I found out that the IT teacher was gay and that one of the janitors was also gay. I found I had a lot of friends I never knew I had.

The IT teacher taught me how to protect myself on the internet and how to keep unwanted files off my drive. He didn't mention the file that got passed around but I knew he knew I really made that file accidentally and I really did and said those things in the video but he never said a thing. He merely taught me how to protect myself in the future. I was much more careful after that though I still visited that gay video chat room. Interestingly, after that, I often found my IT teacher, the principal and several gay students hang out there. But I avoided showing my face from then on.

Two years later I had two dozen requests to take me to prom. I went with the boy I had been dating for a year. But I danced with a dozen boys at the prom. I even danced with the principal and his husband as well as the IT teacher. There were 160 couples and 12 were gay and 15 were lesbians and there were three "triples" as well. I was nominated for prom king but came in third which qualified me to be a member of the court. Among the prom decorations were several rainbow flags.
