If you are scared about how your friends will react, why don't you try to ask a question about some recent gay news event?? If they react in a positive way to this, then they will probably be ok to come out to. Also, remember that coming out does not have a set schedule or pattern. You come out when you feel ready to. Bullying is something that you have to worry about. I'm not sure where you are at, but that can make a difference. Some areas are more accepting than others.

Just be patience please. If you're bullied in school then you stand up for yourself and tell school administrators. If you're ready to come out and it's safe then go for it! If not, then just wait...there's no rush.

Believe me I haven't told my parents and I am almost 21 mainly for the reasons you express concern for. Just wait till you are sure, I am sure but I know it would be detrimental to myself if I came out right here and now. |
