Do you ever feel like you've been hiding in a box. You want to come out but you hesitate because others may see you as different?! It's hard..Even though my friends know that i like both guys and girls and i'm thankful for accepting me, but how about my family? They only know that i like guys,that i dated guys. But they don't know that i like girls too..I want to have a sit and talk to them but there's this strange feeling that you know that they will be shock, or maybe disgusted with me or maybe the big thing that i'm afraid of that they will abandoned me and forget that i'm their child. I just want them to accept me for who i am..I'm gonna still be their child even i like girls too. Hope someday i'll find the right time to tell them. Have anyone of you experience a scenario like this? Hope you can help me.Thanks!

I am a lesbian at 15. My family knew when I was about 13. You have to slowly come out. Give them hints like oh i'm talking to this new girl. Also you can do what I did, Post to Facebook about how you are ready to come out to your family. One of your family members will see it and will be sure to comfort you. It will slowly get out to each of your family members and all of them will be there to support you. Trust me, they love you for you not for who you love.

Being gay is nothing to be ashamed of, and I think that you would find that the majority of people would take it better than you think. Do you have a friend who you can trust? You should talk to them and try to get their advice about how you could come out to the rest of your friends. If they are true friends, then they will be able to accept you for who you want to be. You cannot help being gay, and if anybody treats you badly because of it then I don't think that they're a very good friend at the end of the day.
