Roads of Life

by PonyWrites
High School is tough. It's even tougher if you're gay. Scootaloo is doing the best she can, but maybe the world has different ideas.

"Wait, you mean being gay is a crime in this world?" Sunset was floored when she heard the news. After quieting the voice that realized how many blackmailing opportunities she missed, she has the idea to start a Gay Straight Alliance, with the help of her new, accidental, girlfriend Rainbow Dash. What else was a reformed villain to do?
She didn't do it for the pride, or glory. But she may have saved a life or two.

Depression is a hard cycle to break. Many don't realize they have it. But sometimes, somebody gets lucky and finds something, or someone, that connects them to the rest of the world. Makes you feel like you're worth something.
But even bonds of love are such slender threads.

A Scootaloo story about growing up queer, with the world against you. And you against you.

Set a little after Rainbow Rocks. Kinda. We're also under the assumption that Scootaloo and gang are freshman and the Mane Six are seniors.

Teen because sexual innuendo. Or, you know, discuss it openly. Also profanity because I swore worse than a sailor in high school, so I assume everyone else does it too. Also if reading about teenage lesbians, gays, or etc, exploring their sexuality (pg-rated) makes you uncomfortable, abandon hope now. Also beware the Teen Angst. And a few suicide attempts...
