Hey guys. My name's Kenneth, but you guys are welcomed to call me Ken or Stranger if you want. I'm just a 17 year old who recently(5 weeks ago) came out to my close friends. I'm planning to tell my parents two years from now where I would be away at university(No awkward silences!) I had many reasons of coming out, and one of the reasons was that I was feeling lonely. Half the time, I felt like I was alone to take on the world. Second reason was that I read Brokeback Mountain( Sad novel...) and it gave me the push I needed. The process of coming out to my friends was easy, but at the same time it was scary and sometimes even funny. At first, my friends couldn't believe me due to the fact that I'm a masculine guy compared to other gay guys at our school, BUT I've always been the joker. The comedian of the group, so it was difficult for them to trust me with this kind of revelation. I stumbled upon this website because I was curious.
Hello Kenneth, stranger, person and welcome to the site! Happy to see another new face here. :welcome:
Welcome, Ken. All I can say is that I wish I had the insight into myself when I was your age that you do. I know this is a difficult and scary--and sometimes funny process--because I'm going through it now at the age of 42. I hope you find this a great place to hang out. --Zoe
