Resources like this didn't exist when I was 18. In many ways you are already way ahead of me
I would have to agree. I am now in my 40's and wishing I could turn back the clock and change some of the decisions I had made about cross dressing. The most important one: talking to someone about it. You are still young and the future is yours. Take advantage of all the resources that are available to you now. There are professional councilers and message boards such as this one who understand where you are coming from. Most important piece of advice I can give to someone is "be true to yourself".

Always remember that you are not alone. Good luck to you.
