lying about sexuality

[skiitelzz19]

i found out last year that i was a lesbian. i have been lying to my friends and they think i have all these crushes on boys. i want to come out to my friends but i dont know how because i feel that they would call me a liar or something. i just need a few tips on how to say it without just blurting it out of nowhere

Tell em ur bi, it will be easier for them to bring in and I would suggest doing it blunt but good luck

I would start by reading this thread (clicky (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=134627)) written by our wonderful Global Mod, Mike, and all of the stories that accompany it. This will give you a "boost," if you will, and will let you see what worked for other people going though the same thing as you.

The most important thing is to be patient. Of course, it is very exciting to truly know who you are. But, don't go rushing when you may not be ready, because that usually does not end too well. Tell, maybe, your best friend first. See how he/she takes it, and from there, it gets much easier to tell more people. You can do it, and we're always here. :)

Do read the sticky. You need to do this for YOU, and your sexuality and sex life is no one else's business. You sometimes have to lie because society is messed up : that is not your fault. The sort of people who will try to make you feel bad would behave the same even if you'd just kept quiet about it and hadn't pretended to have crushes : they feel entitled to know about your private life, which is clearly ridiculous if you flip it back on them (do you need to know they like bondage or whatever?).

Do it for you, when you are ready.

i tell anyone who cares that im bi. If they ask, or bring it up I tell 'em but I am not going to announce it or anything
