    HI ALL
    Am new here today and can use some help navigating my way around.
    I am using my given name as I see no reason to hide from anyone. I'm almost 17 and have been gay since I was 9, and my family and most of my friends know. I have a very close relationship with an older guy who is 20 and supports me in joining this site. Am slightly nervous non-the-less for putting myself out in front of the whole world to view. Would appreciate any advise on how to conduct myself here'
    Thanks, David Nelson

    Hi David! Welcome to Empty Closets! :slight_smile:

    Just take a look at some of the recent threads around the place for an idea of what's OK here.

    You are free to vent and express your feelings here, to ask for advise and opinions, to offer advice and opinions, to join in the fun chat - whatever you like! As long as you treat other members with respect (so no insults etc) and remember we have people aged from about 13 upwards here (so no "adult" content), you'll be fine.

    If you do slip up, one of us mods/admins will quietly take care of it and send you a polite PM letting you know what's happened. So don't worry, we'll be gentle! :slight_smile:

    Enjoy!

    hey david and welcome to EC. Glad to hear that somebody so young is so far through coming out. Would be interesting to hear a little bit more about how your friends and family reacted, etc

    Take Care and speak soon
