| Proud to be a bookworm! Full Member   Gender: Female Orientation: Nothing quite fits... Out Status: One person IRL Location: Massachusetts Posts: 174 Join Date: Oct 2011 |  Proper Introduction Hi everyone, you may have seen my earlier introduction post. I have decided to post a full one since I have realized some things about myself. So yes, I'm bi. I like girls, and I like it boys, but I prefer boys a little bit more. I wasn't sure whether to put this under Introductions or Support, cause it has a bit of both. So I decided to put it here. Umm... when should I come out? I have had so many times where I could just drop it into the conversation, but would that be a good time? One of the many ways I rejected coming out was during "When I grow up" day at my school. I was considering wearing a rainbow shirt, and writing PROUD across the chest. But I rejected it.

We can give you advice and share our experiences, because ultimately it's your life and your decision.

| ... and the lesbians. Full Member   Gender: Female Orientation: Blue, pink and purple. Out Status: A few people. Age: 16 Posts: 174 Join Date: Oct 2011 | Re: Proper Introduction ^^^ Agreed. Come out whenever you feel comfortable, and to the people you trust. I've told 2 people that I'm questioning, and unfortunately, I made a bad choice in telling the first person. Thankfully, the second person was my mom, and she's been fantastic about everything. So good luck! We're all here for you.
