    "Those who matter don't care, and those who care don't matter."

    Hey Chelshy, I'm really sorry about your family saying those things to you...

    A good way to come out is to write a basic letter. Write down EXACTLY how you feel, and your fears of losing them, and just give it to them. There is no way they can interrupt a letter, whereas if you were talking to them, they could cut into what you're trying to say. The only downside to letters are the fact that because you aren't speaking, your tone can be interpreted differently, so you just have to be careful if you do it this way.

    As for the quote above, just remember that in this world, family is one of the few things we can almost always count on, and if they are really are your family, they should support you regardless of being Gay, Lesbian, Bi, or Transgender. Tell them how afraid you are to lose them.

    You don't necessarily have to come out to them if you don't want to, or at least not now. Just remember though, if you find someone you really love, and that person is a girl, secret relationships always become rough. One partner wants to announce it publicly, while the other may still be in the closet. So you just have to be really, really careful.

    The best

    Thank you keelin I am greatful. While Io have just admitted to me I like guys and girls iv struggled since I was in Jr. High but never admitted it I ingnored it because my familey is southern baptis and so for a while while I was suportive og Lgbt I did not necisewraly agree it was right. But I cant lie to myself anymore. So here I am finally admitting I am BI and its okay to me if that makes sence
