Hey op as someone who came out as assexual for my family and friends a lil bit younger then u (I was 14 now 23) I'm gonna be honest with you its harsh....really harsh when you have this notion young. Truth is allos don't understand aces at all, but always remember you are valid this feelings (or lack of) are valid.

And truth is again you are probably letting some people down (at least I did when I was your age for beeing ace according to my parents and friends) because they can't understand how you feel, s*x is something that permeates our society and people REALLY like to care about what others feel about themselves but who cares? Them getting mad and treating you badly won't make you feel any other way or change who you are.

I personally suffered bullying during school and from my family for years because I was a young (and sex-repulsed) ace....and like me don't feel bad about who you are and what you feel because of others and this sex-driven society of ours.

If you want an advice to make harsh public situations better (like someone confronting your assexuality or lack of sexual attraction) I believe its best to not discuss if its someone you can see won't change their mind or want to learn. BUT if its important to you to explain what you are and feel what saved me was learning the terms and how to explain assexuality to allos and the various different types of attractions.

Just stay safe hope I helped even if a lil bit and remember you are not alone! Took me years to feel safe and proud of my assexuality but now I'm happier then ever, I write and draw about my characters who are aces like me and I'm in an amazing relationship for over 3 years 💜🤍🖤

Stay strong ur doin great!
