    This year is the year that I'll have to study the most to get into a public university here in Brazil (here they are the best ones), I'll barely leave my house. Only on Saturday nights which I intend to go clubbing or something to get my mind off things. My school year starts on Feb 18th.

    I want to tell me mother because she always "drops hints" (i don't know if I used the right expression) that "this girl is cute, why don't you give her a little kiss?", "this friend of yours, have you ever kissed her? she's just your friend?" and it makes me sad because I feel that she's realized that I *might* be gay and wants to do something to "prevent it", as if something like that could be done.

    I came here for hints on how to tell her, I was going to tell her that I had a boyfriend and that she met him when she didn't know we were gay, but somebody told me now that she might freak out even more and I will leave that part out.

    Thanks in advance, sorry for any English mistakes

    No worries, your English is better than my Portuguese (and there's nothing wrong with that English) :grin:

    I've written my parents a letter, which I haven't sent yet. I think that might be a good way - since everything that you want to say can be said, without fear of having them cut you off or lead in a way that you're not prepared for.

    But everyone is different, that might or might not work for you.
