Hello, I want to come out at school or text to a friend but I just don't know what to say. I'm in grade 7 so I need advice that's around my age. I really want to come out before I tell my parents so I have someone to talk to. I thank every response. (!)
I'm a grade younger, so I'll do what I can. First off, the best way to come out to someone depends on the person you're coming out to. A lot of my friends are really jokey, so I kind of had a series of jokes leading up to casually stating I was gay. So far it's worked really well. However, if you have more serious friends you might want to text the person that you have something important to share with them and you would prefer it to be private. Then, you tell them in some place where others aren't if you so wish. If you tell, say, your best friend, they'll honor a request like that. Also, be prepared for any response, it'll really be important! I'd like to know how it turns out, by the way!
