Hi! I'm sixteen and have recently come out to my friends as a lesbian...but I'm SO scared of telling my family...I have a feeling my dad's in denial and refuses to accept what he knows, but my mom is still unaware...I don't think she'd understand...and my step dad is a total homophobe...the rest of my family is just very conservative, so not much support there either...I just feel as if I'm lying to them by not telling them, but I can't bring myself to say anyting. :dry:
First off hi and welcome to EC! :smilewave Secondly, the coming out process doesn't need to be a fast one. Take your time and come out only to people you feel comfortable telling.
Hello and Welcome!! Like Gerry said, coming out does not have to be fast, just take your time and do it at your own pace. We will be here if you need support or have questions.
Welcome to EC As the others have said coming out to any one is something that takes time. Some times you feel right that second is the right time to tell who every your with or like myself my family was the last people to find out just because I needed lot of people to accept me so I could be ready for what ever happened with my parents. Luckly they were super accepting and supportive. Coming out is not a one time thing. Its a life time thing that you do almost every day. To who every your feel like its right.
:smilewave Hi welcome to EC um... I wish I could add something but everybody pretty much has given great advice. but I hope you enjoy the site ^_^
Not much else I can add to what everyone else has said, except that I'm still too scared to come out to my parents. Welcome to EC! Feel free to write a message on my wall if you want to talk
