    One thing is for certain: I have no guts. As a result, I texted my coming out to everyone one at a time on seperate occasions. Since I've been fully out I've thought about it a lot, I by no means regret coming out and yet sometimes it feels like I was too ashamed to not say it out loud. I'm fifteen and have been out for almost a year as lesbian. I know when I came out I needed to do it, I was embarressed and I think it was the best thing for me to come out and realie tht it's okay to be who I am. Yet, there are times when I wonder if it would've felt better to just say it as I looked my family in the eye. So I pose a question: Is one way of coming out better than another?

    In my opinion, no. No way is better than the other since numerous factors come into play.

    Yes. Some I've read on many threads where some people come out personally face-to-face while others write letters or come out via phones. There is nothing wrong in it.

    You are brave enough to come out, feeling confident in yourself to do so. That is commendable. So nothing you did was wrong. :slight_smile:
