Jack,
If you have not been seen and evaluated by a mental health professional, then you are still just a young angry gay man. Nothing more or less.
It is tough being a teen guy, made even more tough by being gay, and being in the closet. Fortunately, it is much easier to be a gay teen today than it was just 20 years ago. I am NOT saying to go flaming all over campus wearing pink. I am saying that you can be more easily accepted and beat up less today than in the past.
It is time to take the bull by the horns and tell your parents everything. It will be a shock, and they may even be upset. Given a bit more time, they will come around and you can get the help you need to come to terms with who you are and how you fit in the world.
Standardized tests out of books and mail-ins are just that, standardized. They have little to do with you and what is actually going on with you. See a professional.
Firstly go down to your family doctor and eliminate any serious disorders that you think you "might" have.
If you have any form of depression you can get a simple tablet to help you cope from the doctors
Then once youre feeling beeter we can tackle the rest of your life.
maybe you should stop bein gay and people will respect you a lot more. i know u will never stop liking men which is disgusting but just try and cover it up. also try meditating or finally telling your parents. it will just keep getting worse unless you tell them or a doctor
You should go and see the doctor about your feelings, they will advise you on the best course of action. Just because your parents aren't understanding, doesn't mean that there aren't other people out there who won't help.

if your parents are bigots you might want to hang in until college try talking to your friends if the are not bigoted or you pediatrician
come out of your closet- whatever happens happens; they'll accept it and move on .. inturn you'll be more happier and comfortable with yourself to enjoy life
so is every other gay depressed teenager.
go to therapy.
I think you should be looking out for yourself not your parents at this point
they will understand
