    Hi online community...
    I'd like to chat with people and make new friends haha
    basically... where I live in the middle of nowhere in rural west country England, i know no other gay people. And plus I kinda go to boarding school... where it's kinda difficult to tell people lol

    Hey
    I dont really know any other gay people
    I go to an all girls school which makes it a lot harder to talk to people as well

    It's really hard to try and be yourself around people who may not be accepting when you are in close proximity with them everyday isn't it?
    There is another bisexual guy at my school, though I don't really know him very well so I think that it'd be weird to tell him i'm bi as well, and he has to get through homophobic remarks everyday.

    Im sure there are people in my school that like girls too its just the fact that people really aren't very public about it and i think thats because they would suffer homophobia from other people if they were open about themselves

    I know, it's so incredibly hard to know other gay people, and in an all girls school it must be so bad! I can imagine all the rumours that go around!
    Its especially hard when you actually start to really like someone of the same sex... but you have no idea if they are LGBT... and you really have no idea how to ask.

    Yer most people in school are either very obviously straight or the only way you would know was if you asked them

    Hmmm... when i told my friends they were really shocked that I was bi because I am very open about the 50% of straight in me, and they just never really guessed. The only people who have guessed are my male friends lol
    Did any one of your friends guess or not?

    Plenty of people have joked about it but i know my bff was quite shocked and i dont know about my other friend
    And i have never been very open about my feelings so my friends didnt have much to go on to guess

    for me... I'm kinda the opposite... i like to express all lot of feelings to kinda suppress all the unknown feelings lol... so I don't talk about my secrets much.
    Y do people joke about it?

    I dont know
    Plenty of people have said it so maybe i do show more feelings than i am aware of but i dont know
    I dont talk about my secrets much either
    If i have told someone my secrets then they may be one of a very few people who know so i dont really discuss them at all
