    Okay so in class we have to write down the most difficult experience in our lives. I want to put down the first time I came out to my mom. I'm just wondering if this is a good idea. I just want the teachers to know what I'm going through. (GayCJ :kiss: )

    Personally, It's all up to you. My parent's are well aware, and i believe that the teachers dont need to know my personal life, they are there to teach, not to know me on a personal level and be friends. Not saying you can't do it, it's absolutely up to you, as a 13 year old gay teen, I'm still looking for support. I hope all goes well you and have a good day :slight_smile:

    I am a teacher and am very supportive of students who come out to me. You have the right to express your feelings in writing just like everyone else. My senior year in high school, I came out indirectly to my teacher through a writing piece. She was supportive and this was in 1989!

    Do you have evidence your teachers are ok with gay people? Is there one particular teacher who you could trust and confide in to begin with?
