    So, for a while now, my plan was to come out either in the last week of year 11, or at the start of sixth form (I'm in year ten).
    But I don't think I'll be able to.
    Don't get me wrong. I like being out to the people I'm out to. And I'd love to be 100% out.
    But I don't think I'll be able to.

    So I have two options (I think) for coming out. I can:
    Make a Facebook status
    Pros:
    Won't have to actually talk to anyone
    Won't have to tell people individually
    Cons:
    Will have to word it really carefully
    People will probably go up to me and ask me about it
    I don't know what I'd write
    Might look like an attention seeker

    Ooooor I can:
    Just go around telling people
    Pros:
    Can explain it in different ways to different people
    Cons
    Rumours might spread
    Bad reactions to my face
    People might still think I'm attention seeker

    So really I don't know what to do... Both terrify me.
    Why should I even have to come out?
    I just like people.
