Hello everybody! I am a 15 year old male that has recently been struggling with my sexuality. I've always had thoughts that aren't exactly only heterosexual, but I'm starting to admit it, and I worry, because I don't want to make my parents depressed when they find out. Well, that's a little bit of information about me, and I look forward to learning about everybody else. Thank you.
Hello, and welcome to the forum! Don't worry, a lot of other members around here have been in the exact same position as you. Look around the forum I'm sure you'll find some helpful advice!
Hey you! I know it can seem kind of scary taking that leap. But you'll know when the time is right. I'm sure your parents love you no matter what. Yes, your parents will need to time to think about how they will react. But in most cases, they will love you just the same. Don't be afraid to be you. Because thats what it's all about these days.. being true to yourself. I'm Terrence. A newbie myself :smilewave
Hi! Welcome to EC!!! People here will really help you with your struggles. If you want someone to talk to, you can always post anything to my wall! Welcome AGAIN!
Hey everybody! Thanks for the welcome messages! And hello Juli! I like the way you said hello, but I can't compete with that, and I'm not even going to try to!
A Unique Name.....Welcome to EC and don't worry EC is about as secure as possible. No one is going to find out anything about you unless you want them to! There are over 55,000 members here so any question you have...there's someone out there that has been through the same thing. So ask away!! We want to help because we have experienced the same things and know the hurt and pain....we want to help you overcome the problems and be friends with you! There are a lot of kids here who have the same concern about their parents. You are right to be concerned, it depends so much on their attitude toward gay people and how accepting they are. Many kids choose to delay coming out to their parents until they are no longer dependent on them. Some wait until college even if their parents are paying for it and some come out to mom and dad in high school. It just depends so much on your parents and how you think they will react. It can be a great relief and they can become a huge support base for you or it can be down right ugly....you're the one who has to make that choice. If you are concerned that they might not take it too well, then be careful who else you tell as you don't want someone else to out you to them before you are ready! Good luck and you can depend on us here at EC to help in any way we can ......David
