Dealing with your sexuality

[The Trendy Wolf]

I am 14 and I am a bisexual but don't think much of it. I'm not open about it because it doesn't matter if anyone else knows at my age. (But clearly im open about it online with those i dont know IRL) But for those of you who are open, are you ever teased or picked on becuase of it? If so then how do you deal with it? How bad does it get?

Thank you for commenting! :D

Dude I'm not out yet. Too much pressure from my homophobic catholic school, my dad, my str8 friends even my lil bro. Once, I was in the recess in my school, and a bunch of guys came across and started to called me names like faggot, JUST BECAUSE I HAD LONG HAIR..u figure LOL, so one of them pushed me from my back and I had to fight, I dont like fight but I HAD to. Well I was kicked bad, but I had to fight. Then I got a suspension, and my Dad asked my to cut my hair and I did it. Very short BTW. So is really hard to come out now.

im from scotland, and over here people within the LBGT minority are the centre of many jokes and mockery. But when it comes to actual gay/lesbian/bi/transsexual people, they don't get that much abuse; at least not in schools. Most people from 3rd year (middle school) and up are more accepting, and dont bat an eyelid at the concept, but those from the junior ranks of the school will call out and chant etc. personally, im bisexual and pretty open to the point where i'm open about by sexuality on facebook, and to anyone that asks - but i dont go shouting about it. and when it comes to taking abuse; it doesnt bother me, im pretty used to it cus i wasnt that popular in primary school - so im used to going against the crowd. all in all, no matter where you are or what your LGBT status is, there will always be someone who loves you just the way you are :) x

I feel for you. Fortunately for me I'm well built and would hopefully be able to fight a bully if need be. I used to have bullies but I wasn't bullied for my sexuality, but just because I was socially awkward. It never got as bad as THAT. I believe that bullies begin bullying after they are bullied themselves. I believe this because after I was bullied I began picking on one kid, and I even felt like it was only "joking". I don't bully now and I have become a much better student as a result. But anyways, they shouldn't make fun of you for being gay even if they know it or not! Theres nothing wrong with it, and I'm sorry for what happened.

Thanks for posting! :)

At what age does it matter?

Some teens won't entirely understand and it won't effect them as a result. It's a matter of your own to decide when it's a good time to come out about it.

And there's an age for that?

Pretty much most of this minus the fight and the hair.

I'm not out, but I fall into the wimp girly-boy category to a degree and I'm small, and I've heard guys referring to me as "little queer" and "little faggot" etc. But my best/only friend is fairly popular and his friends have kind of taken me under their wing, even though it's clear I'm the outsider of the group, but still they'd stick up for me and everyone knows it. I wouldn't be surprised though if I get ambushed outside of school when I'm by myself someday.

[The Trendy Wolf]

It's not a specified age I suppose, but more of a 'level of maturity' of your peers.

I feel exactly the same way.

Im 15 and im bisexual and ive told all of my friends and none of them are bothered about it or have even teased me about it, the best thing to do is to tell you close friend and you will feel better after doing so, it gets easier each time you tell someone :)

[Fraser]

If you're afraid of being bullied, being bi isn't too bad because you can still show your attraction to girls (and perhaps hide your attraction to boys).

I dont really plan to come out to anyone IRL about it, I just plan to marry a woman later in life and have a family like normal.

[Special K]

People will always find a reason to tease and be mean. So just be free about who you are. Chances are others teasing you may be in the closet themselves.

[Twilly F. Sniper]

Im out, and people only occasionally bother me with things like "faggot" and "cock-sucker."
But I feel proud of myself and that's how I deal with it.

My friend already knows, but i mean being more open than just a few people.

If I met someone like that I might feel the urge to punch them in the face for being homophobic. xD

Nah, I'd probably just ignore it cause they are afraid and they don't understand since we are different. STAY PROUD! :D

[Luminous]

That's why I'm not really out, because I don't want to be teased an abused.

[Poisonberry]

I guess my point was why is it necessary to make an announcement. I like guys a lot, I like girls a little, I'm somewhere in the middle but I never felt like I was supposed to tell anyone about it.

[teen.jpg]

I'm not open with it yet. Don't have a reason, to be honest.

[RelatingTo64]

I hope the administrators don't mind me posting this, but I must say it somewhere.

I am straight, not a homosexual or anything like that. I do have many odd fetishes though that embarrass me though.

Is asking for help on this issue allowed on this forum? Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

It's allowed you just have to keep it factual and not talk about it in a story telling way.

For example:
I like hentai with tentacles, does that make me weird? Ok.
This one time I was watching hentai with tentacles and I started getting an erection and then I... blah blah blah. Not so ok.

I'm 15 and during this past summer, I told all of my closest friends that I was bisexual. All of them are gay or nonhomophobic straight people. They were basically cool with it. We were all busy this summer, so I didn't have time to tell them in person, so I told them through a few group chats. I also knew that in person, I would freak out and choke. Even typing the words "I'm bi" scared me so much of their reaction, I waited two hours before actually sending it. Now I do feel much relief letting my friends know something that I trust them with (I think 15 people know-wow that's a lot more people than I thought ) I'm trying to be a little more open about being bi in school since I don't want to be half in the closet anymore. I've been in the closet for so long, I just don't know how, most of my LGBT friends make a joke out of their sexuality, but I don't even :confused:

[LiamC]

I used to be really worried about telling people, and felt like I had to draft some huge essay to put on Facebook so everyone knew. But that never worked out, I never had the courage while I was still at school and I just told a few of my close friends. Basicallly, those I really care about are the ones who know, and they're all fine with it. That's all I care about.

[sqishy]

I haven't come out fully yet, but all that has to be done is for somebody to ask me if I'm gay or not. I'm in a Catholic school too, and what happens when I come out is unknown to me now.

[XxVeggiexX]

I'm Bi and im half out and half in the closet. My Highschool friends know and they don't care, It's actually nice not having to hide it anymore. My friends would pick on me because one second I would check out a guy and the next a girl. If I ever spent the night at a friend's house they would tell me to sleep by myself since they couldn't trust me to sleep in the guys room or the girls, so I felt secluded there. I haven't had to fight because of my sexual orientation, but I have gotten in heated discussions about it. And my Family and neighbors don't know I'm Bi, so it suck if i'm out and I see a cute guy. I sucks being in the closet with my family, especially since I know what it feels like to be out, and I don't feel ready to come out.
