I have recently accepted that I am bi...YAY ME!...I have a girlfriend who loves me very much, my parents are accepting people, and my true friends wouldn't give a shit. I just don't know if I want to come out of the closet right now. I'm scared that kids at school will be unacceptable with my sexual orientation. I mean, already they are calling me fagot just because they THINK I'm gay. Well, they were close, but their heckling still hurts. My friends brother is bi and he waited to tell people until he was in college, mainly because that is the time when, and I quote, "people stop becoming immature bastards and start accepting people no matter what." Is this a good plan? Should I at least tell my family or my girlfriend? And if yes, HOW?! What's a 13 year old to do?

At 13, be careful. With hormones and everything, you probably dont want to come out, and what if, through puberty, you are mistaken? If you do feel the need, only tell people such as your parents, I wouldn't tell you friends or anyone at school. People change in school and they then would have information to use against you. It is really your choice, just be careful and be sure.

Watch it, play it out a while. You are only 13, the chances of you being definately gay, or bi, are slim, although possible. If you are scared to come out, wait. If it is hormones, and then you come out, and then change your mind, it will be hard to convince people that you are not gay/bi. Trust me. So I say leave it, maybe 'till college, whenever, and as your friend's brother put so eleganty:
people stop becoming immature bastards and start accepting people no matter what
There is no rush, no hurry. So wait until you're 100% certain of yourself, and until you can trust others not to make fun of you if you're of a different sexuality.

It's really up to you. In grade 9, I realised I didn't give a shit, and I came out. I went to a ROUGH school too. I got a lot of support from my friends. My friend Tegan (GeekxInxDisguise) actually started mouthing off to a gangster who called me faggot, I had to pull her away. Words just bounce off me now.

wait a few years before coming out, hormones are dodgy things. At 16/17, youll have a much better idea of your sexuality and feelings towards the same and opposite gender.
