    You realised and came out in the same week? I'm impressed, it takes some people years.

    I just didnt want to hide who I am. It felt right to tell my closest friends. They deserve to know who I am

    very true is hard to do but the easiest person to tell will be your mother as they are the most understanding and if you want you can get her to tell your father for you

    Well, I know about myself for quite sometime, and nobody knows about it, except a guy that I met from room mate searching.
