    Hi all.
    My name's Jasmine. I'm a 20 yr old college freshman living in Florida and I'm biesxual. I've known definitely and accepted who I was, since 9th grade. Before that I, remember in middle school questioning and even hating myself for even thinking "those type of thoughts" of someone of the same sex. I think I mainly hated myself so much cuz I grew up thinkin it was wrong and that there had to be something wrong with me.
    I've come out to a good number of friends, but have yet to tell my family. Well, the main hurdle to jump is my mom. I know for a fact that she would never accept me. I just keep thinkin that this will be yet another reason for her to hate and be dissapointed in me. :icon_sad:

    Welcome to EC!

    i'm new too and I'm totally know how you feel. I have those same thoughts... but at least you are out to a lot more people. This seems to be a very reassuring community.
