Does anyone have any stories they would be willing to share

Hi my name is Chandler.I'm working on a independent drama which the main character is a secretly gay teenager. I want the emotion of the character to feel real and non cheesy so i was wondering if anyone here, Boy or Girl, has any stories or insight from their own lives they would be willing to share as inspiration for the story. Things like: -Non acceptence -Self hate -Fear -LonelinessThe main reason I'm asking this is that i am a strait male and don't want to make what some gay/lesbian people go through seem watered down.
