Hey Alex, welcome to the forum! There's obviously a "Coming Out Advice" section of the forum you might find helpful. My advice is to hang out, chat and listen to people's stories for inspiration! Everyone is nice and friendly here.
Thank you I will definetly check out the coming out section, and yes all the people here seem lovely thanks again
Hey Alex...hold on...it's gonna be a ride! Somedays will be terrific and you will be glad that you took the steps you have and found new friends. Sorry to say that other days will feel awful. Some people will be threatened by what you have done because they are hiding they're real self and wish they had the courage to do what you've done. High School can be an awesome place or a really tough place. I know...I've been a HS teacher for over forty years! All that time I have had to keep my true feelings hidden because I wouldn't hurt one of my "Kids" for anything. I've seen many, many kids show a lot more kindness and understanding than adults. I wish it was always that way, but it's not. That's because we are all imperfect people. Treasure those classmates that accept you, pity those that do not, they will end up paying a high price for their prejudice. If I can ever help you, answer questions, etc., don't hesitate to contact me, after all I have been in high school for a little while!
