    Hey! The name's Joel.

    I'm 13 years old and gay (young but I've spent years coming to terms with my sexuality already).
    I really want to come out since I hate having to lie to others and to myself about who I really am, it's just like I can't truly be me while I haven't told people. I've told one close friend who's a girl and she's supportive but I just can't pluck up the courage to tell anyone else, so I'm hoping EC will help me with this, along with other things. There's also the fact that I'm still so young so I'm afraid people won't take me seriously...
    I'm also hoping I can meet some people who I can talk to and find support through them. My friend that I've told is great about it and she acts happy but the most that comes from her really is: "Oh my god! Isn't that boy hot?" so I kinda want to talk to someone who can actually help me since they can relate to my problems.

    Not sure what else to put here... I'm not just new to EC I'm new to forums in general so I'm probably gonna fail at this :lol: Oh well! I love art, music and books I guess... I'm so bad at this... So I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead! If you can count this as being ahead...
    Thanks! :icon_bigg
