What age

outcast · 06-13-2008, 01:05 AM

Hey everyone,
Heres my situation. Im only 14teen and Im not sure if I should come out to my parents and or my best freind. On my parents case they would accept me and have always supported gay rights. They in turn though would become super protective of me not wanting gay haters to like assualt me. Im just worried Im two young and it might be akward. Also on my best freinds case she is most likely Bi and is accepting to and on the plus side she is from another school and only has one contact at my school. She hasn't told me she was Bi but told me her first kiss was with a girl. So I need some advice. Also what age did come out at.

14 is really young. I would suggest waiting a bit longer, just to be sure. Especially at your age, your hormones are raging, and it's possible that you're just experiencing a natural curiosity. I had several close friends that came out (bi/gay) at your age, and then realized that they made a mistake. With that being said, I was attracted to guys since .. well .. since as long as I can remember, but between 13 and 18, I thought it was just me being horny. I came out as bi when I was 19, and gay exactly a year later when I was 20.

you should probably wait a bit, and then when you feel its the right time and right place tell your friends and family. but if they ask you right out if you're gay you should say yes.

It could be a little early but I came out at 14 and wasn't confused or experimenting or anything

do what YOU feel is right for you. The night I came out it was something that was burning inside of me that I couldn't hold in any longer, I knew it was what I wanted.

Yea, I dont plan on coming out at my school like ever because I don't want my sister dealing with all that krap. Maybe if my freind or my parents ask me in a sincere way. I will think about it.
