    Alrighty, this may seem awkward since I am a generally awkward person, so here it goes:

    I am not one of those people that always new they weren't straight. At first I thought I was straight since that it the norm of society, plus being raised in an isolated town didn't help. Open-minded, but isolated so I was never really educated in things outside the norm since it didn't seem to affect me, especially when I was really little. As time went on and I started to learn about the world and grow up a little bit I started to self-reflect more and wonder if I am comfortable with who I am and who I will become, especially now that college is about a year away. Some of this self-refection has had me questioning my sexuality and who I am attracted to. I have had crushes on guys before, but I find myself being attracted to girls now too. After some deep soul-searching I have come to realize that I am definitely not straight: either bisexual or lesbian.

    My realization has made me more comfortable and happy with myself, but at the same time it raises more questions about what to do now that I realize I am either bisexual or lesbian. The main question being what do I do now? Also now I want to let it out, but I am not ready to tell family or friends yet so I think here is a good place to start coming out. Also any general advice you can give me would help me a lot.

    Man I need a hug after writing this post (*hug*)

    Id just go with what you feel comfortable with and what you're ready for. I know the feeling of wanting to let it out but not being ready to tell people close to you. Its a big step. Is tere even just one friend that you could tell? Also, there should be some type of youth support group close enough to drive to. I wish I could give you some better advice. {Hug}
