    I truly hate being in a damn metaphorical closet. I would come out but I've been busy with school, parents, etc. But now it is summer! I don't have to worry about school or other people. I think it would be the perfect time to come out... Thoughts?

    I think it would be a great time to come out because you will have more time as a family to talk about it in summer, in spring/fall you would have to deal with school and coming out at the same time witch would be stressful.

    If you do good luck!

    Hi, I recently found out i was bi, and i told my best friend about it. She accepted it and turns out that she's also bi. I am telling my parents this summer because there isn't very much stress with school and all, so I think that it's a great idea. If you're comfortable about telling them, do it, otherwise wait a little longer. That's what I've been told, and it helped me quite a bit. Hope this helps!

    If now that your head is free from obligations and stuff, and u feel like coming out, you should definitely do it!
    I only come out to someone if i feel i wanna do it, and i guess you are ready to start.

    First, any thoughts on who will be the first person/people you want to come out with?
    Second, how do you think they are gonna react to that?

    You should always be prepared for them not accepting it easily so you don't get disappointed. But in general, it's a lot easier and more simple than we think it will be :grin:
