. I tried so hard to push the feeling away but every day feels like a war and I just can't fight any more I tried convincing myself I was bi but I'm not. I take my anger out on other people. But when I am around my (hopefully not a secret much longer) boyfreind all the pain goes away and I feel like I am who god made me to be. I need help coming out. Can you help?

U r on the right path identifying your "issues" such as anger and ure feelings of a "war" going on inside you.
Choose people initially who u kno will support u no matter what and "come out" to them. It will help u get used 2 the idea of telling people.
And NOT EVERYONE needs to kno ure gay or bi or whtevr.
YOU choose the time, place, and situations u come out to, so if u [email protected]@k at it like that YOU have the control.
Good luck!

Mike (ImCoolBeans) actually wrote a thread about coming out that is very useful which you can find here: http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=134627

As for my advice, it can be a hard thing to do, but it gets easier each time you do it. You've accepted yourself, it seems, which is the first step. If you need to, you can start out small--maybe family members who are close to you, or friends who are close to you. Keep in mind that you may lose some friends and some family members may come to dislike you--it's not because you did anything wrong, it's just a total shock and some people can't handle it. I would strongly advise you to take a look at that thread, I think it will help a lot. I wish you the best of luck, and know that no matter what happens we're all here to support you!

Don't push yourself this hard. Coming out doesn't have a 'use by' date. If coming out is putting this much stress on you, then don't do it. Not yet. Give it a bit more time. Don't fret about your sexuality either. You're normal, you're okay, you'll be fine. Really dive into those feelings for your boyfriend. That's what your sexuality feels like: safe, happy, and loved, natural.

Time is key.
