Earlier today at around lunch I was sitting with my friends in the school library when one of them made a very homophobic comment (so bad I dont want to bring it up on here) but since I normally keep all thoughts too myself id idnt say anthing (only my mom knows im gay) and then almost straight after he said it my best friend continued the conversation too such a level I almost came out to them to get them too be quite bit lookily I thought it through just enough that I realised idont want them too find out this way so I didn't and they continued the conversation. Im glad didn't tell them bit I wish I had said something please give advice on how to stop this without letting it slip (Im also not very vocal on my thaughts so saying something would not very vocal on my thoughts sovsaying something would not work) (&&&):help::tears::bang:
I'm sorry to hear your friends were homophobic like that, and especially your best friend! I bet it must have been hard. Are you sure they're good friends if they say such things? How old are you and your friends, may I ask? I can understand your friends if they are young teenagers and immature, but otherwise, are you really sure they're good friendship material? One thing you could do if it happens again is maybe try to change the subject quickly and smoothly to something interest that'll distract them and stop them from talking about homophobic stuff? Or you could go to the bathroom or something. But both of these advice are ways that one would do when being in a toxic environment - just to get out of it for the moment. Does this happen often? If so, maybe you should consider coming out (if you think they won't be horrible about it) so as to stop them from saying such things.
Thanks for the advice I think I might just try changing the subject as im not quite ready to come out yet Oh and also they're 13 and I don't think they even understood what they had saidd
