I started with a few close friends, seeing their reaction. Finally, I just came out to everyone in my school - I didn't advertise it, but when I was asked, I just answered truthfully. I have decided that this is my life and I will not the thoughts of others control my life, by concealing it.

I came out to my step mom, she was totally accepting and even knew I was before. With my Dad, it's not really discussed but it doesn't bother me. At first, my step dad gave me like a 3 hour speech how it was the devil inside me (B.S. DETECTED) and all this crap, but now he accepts it and will love me no matter what but just isn't happy about my 'decisions'. At first, my Mother said she could take me to like therapy and I told her straight up that I wouldn't have that. Then she got into the bible, and I told her, that according to Christians, God loves everybody and created us all individually, so yeah.

But now, everybody is just mellowed out about it. At my school now, at the beginning, I was bullied a tiny bit but they didn't get any reaction so they stopped. Now, no one really cares. It's just me; it's not like they expected me to be straight anyway? :D

It took me 3, 4 years to fully come out and it was easier then I thought. I don't really like hiding things, and it would be awkward not having a girlfriend throughout highschool, so I just came out. It was pretty much a smooth ride for me. When I had first came out to my mom, when I was actually 11, and I knew I was bisexual (developed early, or knew I liked guys at an early age anyway (now strictly gay)), I made her guess a million things and finally she nailed it. She told me not to tell anybody and all this. But yeah. :yes:
