    I'm new here and i've been looking at this site for several days. I really like it a lot so far and everybody here seems soo nice and friendly! =) I signed up because I realized I was gay a couple months ago and i'm afraid to tell my parents and brother. =/

    About me: Well, i'm catholic. XP I'm nice. =) I try to be honest. ;x I use a lot of smileys. :grin: And I'm not that very active in forums but I always try to be.

    I hope my problems will be solved here. Thanks to everyone who saw this! ^.^

    Welcome to EC! I'm always happy to see teens discovering themselves when they're much younger. I admitted to myself my sexuality when I was your age, too, but it took me until just this month to set myself up here. I hope you have a blast and can find use of the resources here at EmptyClosets. :slight_smile:

    Oh, and I use a lot of smilies, too. :icon_wink :grin: >^.^<

    Hey! Welcome to EC! Please spend some time getting here reading and posting, feel free to message people on their walls. There are a lot of members here that have been (or are) in the exact same place you are as far as being out.

    In case it isn't obvious already, there's no rush to tell anyone. You can do it as quickly or as slowly as you want, but I would suggest developing a support network of friends first. You can start with people online here because that's easy and safe, and then if/when you feel ready, you can tell one or more of your friends in real life.

    Feel free to message me or any of the advisors if you have any questions or concerns or things you'd like to talk about... or just post a new thread on EC!

    Take care and welcome !

    Just noticed you're from Sacramento. There is a support group for gay and lesbian teens 13-17 at the Sacramento Gay-Lesbian center, and there are a number of people around your age that regularly attend.

    I know one of the coordinators there, so if you ever decide you want to go, I can put you in touch with him so you'll know someone the first time. :slight_smile:
     
  16. Sweet, another young'un! Welcome! I'm sure this website will help you out a lot. I discovered my sexuality when I was your age, and I am very happy to see others who internally come out so early on. It's way better that way, trust me (not that I'm technically out, but you know what I mean).

    And YAY for smilies! They kick ass.
