| Saving People, Hunting Things Full Member   Gender: Female Orientation: Questioning Out Status: Immediate family and you all. Location: Pittsburgh, PA Age: 16 Posts: 148 Join Date: Aug 2012 |  I Just Told My Mom About Me Questioning I did it! I told my mom thought I was maybe gay or bisexual, and that I didn't really know. She took it really well. I was so nervous and she kept on asking me what was going on so I told her (really awkwardly) and she was sort of surprised. At first my mom said I was probably straight and that I was bi-curious but I told her that it'll probably be better if I didn't label myself as anything until I finally know for sure. My mom told me that she could get me a counselor to help me sort it out, and that we could get some books about it. She was totally okay with it and said that if I was with a boy or a girl, she didn't care as long they loved me. She also said that a boy will catch my eye and I said maybe it'll be a girl. And she told me that she'll tell my dad because he has a right to know. So in all, I think it went well. I gave her a hug in the end. It just felt really surreal.

I'm so proud of you and your mom! And happy for you as well. I know it takes a lot to come out, even if it's to someone you KNOW will love and accept you regardless. Been there, done that. So I'm really happy to hear it went well. Congrats, darling. <3

 She told my dad this morning and I haven't gotten to talk to him alone yet but he seemed great today and my parents both showed me a GLBTQ organization center they're going to call so I can go there.

I think a counsellor is a good idea, I already have one and she gave me points I hadn't thought about |
