Help Coming Out?

[somethingrandom]

Before I start, I'm well aware that there are probably a million other threads about this. Feel free to link me to any good ones.

I'm currently 18 years old and entering my second year of university. I've known that I'm bisexual for just over a year now, and looking back, I can see that I've been into other guys since my first memories (6 years old or so). Currently, nobody knows except for one lifelong friend who knows pretty much everything about me, and vice-versa. I've decided that I want to gradually start coming out. How should I go about doing this? Any advice? Suggestions? Tips? Warnings? Things to do/avoid? Any and all help is greatly appreciated :)

Well, if you haven't already I'd recommend reading this (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=134627) thread. It should be somewhat helpful, especially seeing how other people have come out.

Well I'd say start off with your closest friends/family first, it's always better to let them know personally instead of them finding out second hand. You could do it any way you want; face to face, a letter, phone, text, even facebook. There are so many ways, I'd say that with the people you're closest with it might be better to do it face to face just so they know you're not playing about. Give them some time to get around it, it's likely that they'll be shocked. It takes a lot of courage and if people really are your friend then they'll stick with you, you're still the same person as ever but if they don't just know that they're not worth it. If they can't except you for who you are even when you've been the same person all along and they just haven't known it then they're honestly not worth having in your life, remember that.
