I'm out to several friends and a few adult mentors; I identify as gay. There's a girl I'm really interested in at school, but I feel like it's not fair to pursue a relationship with her until I'm out to my parents. I'm scared. I don't know how to go about this; I'm not close with them, but I feel like I have to tell them. How do I go about it? Should I plan to stick around after, or hang out with a friend? I'm just scared.
The way I told my brother and dad was through text. I texted them at midnight, so I could just pass out after that. I wrote a huge text, and just looked away from the screen and hit 'send'. It's how I came out about it. I wish you luck.
PositivelyMe, well all I can say is there is no right or wrong way to do this ,you could text, write a letter , send a email ,sit them down and tell them face to face etc. it is all up to you .Do what makes you feel comfortable and do it when you are ready there is no reason to rush you will do it when you are ready . You have all the time in the world so there is no need to rush .I wish you the best of luck and let us know what happens .
