Should I come out yet?

[villain]

I'm 13,Male,Gay and im wondering if i should come out yet. My parents dont exactly hate gays but im just too scared. My whole family joke around with me and ask if im gay and of course my answer would be no and it makes me feel heartbroken that they find it so funny. I've already told my friends and somehow idk but some other ppl found out and then it spread to my sister. So should I just come clean. It would make me feel better if did

If you think it would make you feel better, then go for it, and even better than your parents "dont exactly hate gays", and by what u said, I think there would be no problem and will accept it and support you.

But is your choice, if you feel you need to tell them, then go for it.

All in all it's up to you. For some people it's not the best course of action (homophobic parents, accepting friends, etc.) while for others it's relieving to get the secret off your back. My best friend William came out as gay and said it was the best thing he ever did since he didn't have to lie. His parents were also really supportive and of course all of his friends stuck around.

From what I've seen, if you're ready to come forward and get it off your chest then do it - it's apparently relieving ;).

Don't rush things! You're still pretty young in regards to when most people come out (I'm not doubting how sure you are one bit). I waited and waited and it's so much easier when you're more sure, and believe or not it becomes more apparent with age. Don't rush or feel obligated to rush from outside influence. It's all about you.

not yet, wait a few years so others can take you seriously..

As stated above, I would not rush it yet either...relax and let things settle down... you have plenty of time to figure it out and decide on a course of action. Your still relatively young and there is no need to rush the labels that society has put out.

You really really should come clean man you will feel sooo much better!

[poocsl]

Only when your ready. Oh and If your scared start off with a joke. That's what I did.

It all depends on how you want to come out. I came out to my best friend randomly during a sleepover. He was fine, then I told my Mother immediately after he left. It all is up to circumstances.

If you feel you need to say it, then go for it.
