    so I was in art class today and it seemed like a normal period but within the last 5 minutes of class the three girls that sit at my table just straight up started asking me if I was gay. Now they have asked me before and I just kind of just sarcasticly said no with a laugh and they left it alone. But this time they continued to ask after I answered "pretty sure i'm not", as not to totally lie (even after I left the room). I'm pretty sure they are going to press again tomorrow so what should I do?:confused:

    If you're not ready to come out, just keep telling them no and make sure they know that you're getting tired of their inquiry. If you are ready to come out, go ahead and tell them.

    Ask them kindly (and frankly) to stop. If you aren't ready to come out don't be pressured.

    like plastic says, if you're not comfortable being out (or even to them or people eavesdropping), then just say no. and kindly tell them to stop pestering you.

    (really, I have nothing to add here)

    If you're not ready to come out then don't just keep saying no , but don't get defensive just say calmly say no and if they keep asking just say no that really all you can do unfortunately.

    I see you are out to a few people if any of them are female could you "date" one of them?

    Not out at all
    Is there any reason why they'd think you are?

    It's definitely a tough situation. High school sucks as it is....and being gay and mostly in the closet sucks even more.

    I'm not even sure what to tell you :frowning2: Wish I could help more

    Out to everyone
    People at my school did this too. If your ready to come out just say it but if your not simply ignore them. Maybe do what i did and ask why they're so curious about my sexual life. That way your not exactly lying and they'll most likely back off.
    If that's not the way you want to go and your not comfortable with coming out tell them no if the ignoring thing doesn't work.
