    ok, first thing I have to say: DONT DENY IT! if someone asks you if your gay, dont ever lie about it becuse they will keep badgering you about it and it will be pure torture to you. even if they get off your case about it, it'll be awkward when your finnaly ready to admit to them.

    I'd recommend coming out to your parents before they find out through someone else or they may feel hurt that everyone except them knows.

    Good luck! And as Nerdtendo said, DO NOT DENY BEING GAY as it will definitely make your life hell as you will be bugged about it until you confess, which would make it more of an issue than it is.

    Sounds like you are going to need to tell your parents whether you are ready or not.

    It would be better if they found out from you than from someone else.

    Talk to your parents, its hard I know, but its better they hear it from you, then from someone at the store or a phone call from a family friend.

    Because broken records are fun, tell your parents. They can be best prepared to help you deal with the fallout if they know ahead of time, and if things get a bit sour you'll want their help. Otherwise, I wouldn't be worried about everyone knowing unless a mob forms outside your house with torches and pitchforks, and that is unlikely. Just stick to your guns and your convictions and it'll settle down in time.

    Definitely tell your parents. You'll feel SO much better afterwards. And don't deny anything either. Good luck. :thumbsup:

    That's good you told your mom. Did you tell her about PFLAG or print off some of the materials?

    joseph i thought no one on EC would ever feel the way i feel. i mean i havn't come out or admit to anything but my share of homosexuality drama made me famous....and Kinston isn't a small town at all...it's a city! :eek:

    personally what i have learnt from my experience and i hope u do too is to choose ur friends wisely and i am happy ur getting over it ... i mean if no one has threatened to kill u like they did to me then everything is cool.
    and ur right about the word spread fast thing....it's so disterbing that once ur gay in a place where homosexuality is scarce, ur business gets spead as fast as hot bread.

    ...isn't it? now i know how britney feels

    I second that hahahahaha :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
    But yeah that really sucks, tell the parents, don't ever deny it, and just live with it. Oh and beat the crap out of the person that outed you.

    Your situation kind of sucks. Nobody wants to be outed before they're ready to come out. It was unfortunate but I think it was better that your mom heard it from you then from someone else. She'll likely come around with some time.

    Out of curiosity, how are others taking the news? Are people treating you any differently? Are your friends supportive?

    Well now that everyone knows they all try to avoid me i don't know why but hey it works for me. All seems to be going good no threats at least not yet . Once again thanks for all the help. oh one question is it normal for some people u like never talk to want to talk to you all the time after coming out ? Its just awkward because most people try to avoid me. and yes my friends already knew about me being gay so they are helping alot too

    some people will avoid you, i guess its normal because thats how they deal with something they dont undertand...by avoidance...mostly the guys will be doing this...i dont see why girls would avoid you thou...usually girls like gay boys to be around them...anyway thats cool that your friends are sticking by yourside...cause at the end of the day your still the same person they knew the day before..:lol:
