    I dont know what to do. I want to start dating girls to see if im fully lesbian or just bi but if i do i have the chance of getting kicked out of school because its a christian school. Should i wait till i graduate or just keep dating hidden? My school is very small(15 people in my grade) and if word somehow spreads ill be out in no time:help:. Should i risk it or wait? I really want to start dating but idk..

    I would say in your situation the risk could quite easily turn nasty with it being a Christian school. In my opinion I would wait until you have graduated that way you have your qualifications and go on to do whatever you want.

    Give it time and I am sure the rewards will be worth it :grin:

    How is the school Christian - like, in what way? Don't feel like you have to reveal more than you're comfortable with, but are you certain that something negative would come from it?

    How about family/friends, is this something you can talk to them about? If dating's really not an option, you can explore this in other ways, and talking to friends and family might be one.

    In that case, then I think you should wait until you graduate to begin dating in earnest if your school is that virulently anti-gay. It's not worth doing now (dating, I mean) if there is a real risk of you getting expelled.

    Well, if you are coming out to your parents soon, you might want to discuss it with them. But they are the ones who put you in the school in the first place right? What do you anticipate their reaction to be?
