    My life has been awesome. The people I've come out to has nearly tripled in the past 2 weeks, and I started coming out in April. My friend G's friend N is gay, and G asked N to sort of help me come out since I had already told G and N is completely out. Anyway, N was like "Anyone who's really your friend won't care, or will be supportive; don't let some asshole's thoguhts of you dissuade you from being yourself." I was inspired, and I've come out to 4 people just today, and 2 last week. I am so happy right now.

    COngrats! I'm very excited about the coming out process myself- I hate hiding who I am. (There's only a couple people who I am worried about while coming out), but for the most part it should be okay. I'm glad you're doing okay! :slight_smile:

    Congrats! I admit, im a little jealous that your Coming out at your age. I was in denial for years, and have just started coming out. (Immediate family & close friends only so far).

    Best of Luck when you come out to whoever you have left to come out to :slight_smile:

    Congatulations! I really do wish I could have that kind of courage. I'm terrified of coming out where I live...

    Congratulations! I'm also the same age as you and I am starting the process of coming out. I've told 4 people so far and I hope to tell more people using Facebook as a guide.

    Dude, my coming out is still pretty recent by standards, and I wish I would have done it sooner. Good luck in the future with everything.

    Gosh, a lot of responses. :grin: I just am one of those people who sucks at keeping secrets, especially my own. If you're jealous of my start, the guy I mentioned (N) was completely out in 7th grade. x.x
