Extremely scared to come out

[casey_2014]

I am bisexual and I have known I was bisexual for a while... A few years ago I told a friend and it got around the whole school and people started making fun of me so I said it wasn't true and let the rumors die down. At this moment only 2 people know both of them I know I can trust (I hope), and they both go to different schools. The thing I'm even more scared of is if my dad finds out... I don't think he would except me for who I am. I mean What the hell would I say? Yea dad your only daughter is queer and if I bring a girl home as my homecoming date try not to be surprised. Sorry if I sound like a bitch I'm confused and scared. :(

If you want to tell people at school, go for it. Real friends won't turn on you, and the fake bitches will regardless. As for your dad, if you think he will react badly, don't tell him. At least not right now, wait until you are out of the house, or maybe introduce it to him slowly so it isn't a huge shock.

Hi there Casey! I just want to start out with, being yourself can be really hard sometimes. Especially in a school of people who don't approve of bisexual and homosexual people. It is really really important that if you choose to come out then you should make sure you are in a safe environment! If you have a parent that you can trust that will accept you, even if the other parent doesn't. So in case it's just your dad that you would be able to tell, i would try to figure out somehow on what his opinions are on bisexuality. :) Good luck i know you can do it! Just be yourself and don't care what others think, even though it's very hard.

Your just gunna have to tell him. When your 17/18 non of your school friends will care. I know a guy that came out when he was 15 but when he was 17, he ended up being popular

It can be hard to show who you really are. I would just tell people, and you'll figure out who is really your friend. Also, the thing with your dad if he finds out, why should that be a problem? He should love you for who you are, even if you're bi. It shouldn't matter, because you are his child. If you don't want your dad to know, just don't say anything to him about it. I have a friend who came out at 15, and nobody really made fun of him. He's really popular now with everyone, so I think you'll be okay. Do whatever you think is right at this point in your life.

Before you tell anyone make sure they are actually your friend. Many times i have come across fake friends who do things like this. You should just tell your closest friends you trust and leave it at that until you feel it is the right time.

Personally I just don't think it is anyone's business.
