    Help please, I'm 11 and I'm gay for sure, but how do I come out? I'm in fifth grade and at my age, from my personal exp. This is the age that all the kids question wether they are G,L,B,BC, or S. I know I'm gay and I have a huge crush on this guy, but he doesn't know I'm gay, how do I tell my family, I scared even though my family believes this is a free country and people can choose who they want to love and who they want to be. How do I come out? How do I express my feelings for my friend? I don't know what he is he likes to tease me playfully, is this a sign from him? At my school, kids are really judgey and they like to gossip... last year I was bullied for being gay at my old school. My parents took care of the problem but they didn't know it was for being gay. How do I come out? How do I tell my friend how I feel? Please help!

    I dont think that most people have gotten to the stage of puberty where they start getting sexual attraction at age 11.

    Some people probably have, possibly including yourself but things may change over time. Back when I was in 5th grade I thought I was straight but now obviously not. And if you feel like you want to talk to someone about what you are feeling this site is a great place to do that as well as talking to your friends

    I felt just like you did when I was 11. I had a crush on a guy too, and I was attracted to guys ever since I could remember (about 3). Well, If you're ready to start coming out, then, taking the info about your parents, I would go about it just by saying that I have feelings for the guy to Parents just like that: "Mum, Dad, I like guys." Remember that only if you're truly ready it would be the time to come out. If being gay doesn't really bother you, then you could also just go with the flow and when you're older, when people expect you to date girls, just do the opposite. :slight_smile: Right now, just be sure and know most of the possible outcomes. Good Luck!

    Hi there. (*hug*)

    Now, if you tell a trusted friend that you are Gay, they can help you in-person. As for Coming Out right now, just be prepared to tell your parents/family that you are positive you are Gay. They may not believe you at first then start making excuses to cover up the truth, but in time they shall come around.

    As for your crush, it may or may not be a sign that he likes you. If you really do want to know if he is interested in you, then talk to him when you two are alone. Just be calm when you ask him and be ready for any answer he's going to give you.

    Best of luck, averagegay. (*hug*)

    I now exactly how that feels little man, if you are positive you are gay I suggest you tell a family member or someone close to you. And for the boy, if you like him go for it, if he is straight I suggest to forget it ever happens and be friends. As for gossiping and bulling, if you tell someone close, they won't tell if they really care about you. Don't be afraid. Good Luck :grin:

    Re: Help: How do I come out?

    I think everyone feels nervous telling people. It took me a week of lurking around this forum to even sign up and I don't even know anyone here.

    Do you have a best friend that you can trust to keep a secret no matter what? Or a parent/relative that you are really close to? Maybe you know an LBGT person that you can tell?

    Id be very careful who to tell if I were you. Many 5th grade kids are incredibly immature. It seems like you aren't but many are

    I'm not sure what NC stands for, but I'm sure it is a good answer when I say
    I'm sorry for you being separated from your best friend. (*hug*)

    This post is relatable to me. And for people who think "we are to young to know our own sexual preference" Bah!
    I have always hidden sexuality from my family because they all worship God and all of that sappy stuff. I know I am like, four years late on this post but, if you can still hear me, it always gets better. I have always been bullied for being gay, and people at my school gossip slot also. Then also, I had many friends who supported me- most being girls. I have always been afraid of homophobia from both sides of my family; mother and father's.

    Thank you for inspiring me to make an account on this wonderful website :slight_smile:
