    Coming out in my senior year. Honestly aside from the few friends I wanted to tell myself I don't care who finds out how or what they think.

    My school is pretty accepting so I'm lucky not to have to deal with much bullying. Ive known some people at other schools who have to deal with it a lot though.

    I'm never coming out in my school, almost everyone is severely homophobic and transphobic.

    I'm planning on coming out completely next year when I finish high school. Because I'll be leaving the place and I'll be moving out of my mother's house.

    I'm completely out to my schoolmates, and they are all supportive.

    I experienced a bad case of bullying - a guy told everyone I felt him up in the PE changing rooms (I damn well did not). He apparently hoped to isolate me because he thought everyone would believe him. F***ing nobody did. He's stayed silent since.

    I'm a freshman, not out. I dread being out. I hope to come out next year, but I know I won't.

    I'm an eighth grader thinking of coming out at school, mostly because I'm tired of the closet and don't care what people think of me. If they will like me for who I am, I can be sure that our friendship will last. I also have super close friends and basically my whole camp as a support group.

    I've been out since the end of my Freshman Year at school. :slight_smile:

    (*hug*) I thought that too when I was your age. You never know when you'll have the courage to finally be yourself. It can sweep over you like a wave.

    I never imagined that I would come out in high school. But then I realized how accepted it is in my school. There are so many guys that come out that I felt so confident and I decided to slowly come out. Now I'm at a point where a good amount of people know, however I'm still coming out.
    Oh yeah, and I'm only a freshmen. By the end of my high school career I'll be totally out. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:ride:

    At the school I go to there is a pretty big GSA and a lot of lgbt students are accepted, but there is still bullying that you just have to get over and ignore. I knew I was a lesbian in 7th grade and a couple friends new then. Once I got to high school I accepted it more, and I told many of my close friends freshman year. Now, I'm out to whoever asks, I guess. I won't lie about my sexuality like I used to.

    Not a lot of people are friends with me, and even if they are they rarely ask about my sexuality. Those that do know accept me fully. For me it was good to come out in high school because now I can really focus on figuring out who I am and I don't feel like I'm lying and hiding all the time.
