    Well howdy all you fine forum-goers. Whilst browsing online, I stumbled upon this place by chance and decided check it out and ultimately signed up. :icon_wink

    You see, I've been questioning myself and my orientation for a while now, and did nothing about it except worry and wonder. As it stands, I'm really nothing more than a fifteen year-old teenager, so I'm not sure what I'm feeling is real or just the result of teenage hormones and all its craziness. Because of this, I haven't told or shared any of these feelings with anybody else yet, especially not my parents, who, through conversations and comments have shown to be less than enthusiastic about gay, lesbian, and bisexual people, especially my mother :icon_conf. Which is just another wall to overcome I'm afraid! I'm hoping that, through the internet, I'll gain a bit of extra courage to talk with all you lovely people and sort out all these feelings. Thank you for reading!(*hug*)

    Hi there, and welcome to Empty Closets; you have come to the right place.

    EC can help you to start figuring your feelings out, and also gather the courage when you feel you are ready to come out. It is totally fine of not having shared anything with anybody yet. Take your time, and things will fall into place.

    Welcome aboard! :slight_smile:
