    To introduce myself, I am a totally hidden lesbian trying to find the courage to come out. I have only completely accepted it for a month so I am OK with being in the closet for a while longer. I know my parents will accept me right away, but my problem is that I have recently changed schools (from out of state boarding school to a very homophobic Catholic school). I do not have any friends from school yet, and I am afraid that coming out will impede that process even further. Thanks for reading! Sorry it was so long!

    No worries. We all go through "when will I get the courage to be a swan?" Don't grow desperate and above all enjoy the transition. You don't have to suffer at all, suffer it's a choice so choose to have fun and enjoy the process. Yes, maybe not everyone will be ready for you to come out, but the most important thing is you being ready to assume who you are and live accordingly.
