Coming out on being straight?

[WalkingOnDisaster]

This seems weird doesn't it? Let me explain.

In the school I go to, pretty much EVERYONE is bisexual. I even have some gay teachers. It's really weird for me and my brother, who are both straight.
He doesn't really get a lot of people talking to him or asking him out, but for some reason (I don't know why, I don't talk to them and I am hideous to look at) I've been asked by nearly half the students in my graduating class out on dates. They all think I am bisexual, or else lesbian because they don't know my boyfriend. They think he's made up too.

Is there a way I can come out as straight in this situation?

Umm ... can we switch schools? :D

But in all seriousness, you don't need to. Just stay straight and don't bother. Coming out as straight is kind of an insult to people (like me) who actually have to.

Wow, I have never heard of this! Cool! I think you should just be honest and say you're interested in the opposite sex.

Neither have I. When I learned so many people were bi and I was one of the only straight people, I marked it in my notebook of 'holy shizzle that's weird'.

Lol bro that school is nuts. Um... Just be you. I'd suggest just ignoring them. They all go away someday.

How is it insulting? If you were straight and constantly had guys asking you out, wouldn't you be like "Look, I'm straight so guys, please stop asking me out. I'm only interested in girls and am taken anyway." Besides, it's hard for gay people to come out because they're a minority and therefore don't have a ton of support. In her school, she's a minority.

OP, I think you should, because that can get annoying, and if you've accidentally hurt anyone's feelings by rejecting them, it'll let them know that it was nothing personal.

Edit: Wait, didn't you tell me you go to ECOT?

Wow, this is sure unusual, and I never thought I would hear of a situation like this!

I would do like what the others said and be yourself and be honest about who you are. Like the person above said, if another girl asks you out, then tell them that you only like boys. Everyone will understand, and I doubt you'll have a problem. About the only issue I could see you having is that if you date the boys at your school and they are bi, then you have to make sure that the boy understands that if you both are in a relationship he can only be with you and not with other guys at the same time.

Just keep reminding people that you are straight and you have a boyfriend. Eventually they will believe you. I can't believe almost everyone in your school is bisexual. Do you go to a school that is meant for gay teens?

[Synyster Shadows]

Wow, that's...different. anyways, just tell 'em directly that you're straight. Just be direct about it. Who cares about what your orientation is?

[Anonimi]

its the school of the future :o
i guess just say to everyone, nope im straight but you are fine, cya later!
would love to switch schools though...

Take it in your stride and don't be offended that you've been given the opportunity to mix with these great people who treat you well and you get on with - let alone the gift of a good education in itself!

Those people asking you out on dates clearly think you're worth their time and thoughts, so appreciate it. You never know - it may not last forever.

There are millions of teens who would love to be in your position and you're complaining about it?

You have a great education, a lot of people seem to like you and enjoy your company and you don't get bullied for being straight in a - theoretically - LGBT school.

Enjoy your time there, don't loath it! :L

I left ecot about two months ago.. I'm sorry for the confusion. Still reparing damage. I was hacked by my cousin who hates me. I'm sorry for confusing you.

there's nothing wrong with being straight. Straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, we're all people.
