Coming out as bi

[Rhys2001]

Hey,
I'm nearly 15, and for a few years I've kept my true sexuality buried underneath the carpet; today however I came out as bisexual for the first time. I came out to one of my best friends (who also happens to be bi), she said that most people just accept it/ don't really care. Here lies the issue, I am the one struggling to accept it, I feel ashamed, even embarrassed. What do I do? Also, should I come out to some of my less close friends, I don't know how they'd take it, if they would actually accept it... I'm just so confused at the moment!
Grateful for any advise x

For the minute I would focus on accepting it yourself before you out yourself to anyone else. You might regret the decision if you cannot accept it yourself.

Embarrassed that you are human and have uncontrollable feelings? Just remember that it's something that you can't help and embrace it.

Coming out to the people that you feel a close connection with I understand, but anyone outside of that circle I think really doesnt matter, if they find out, they find out, so what, but I wouldnt watse the time to come out to them.

However, before you do anymore coming out to anyone as anything, you first have to accept yourself for who and what you are because if you cant do that, then how is anyone else supposed to accept or respect who and what you are?

I would say you need to figure things out for yourself and come to accept it for yourself before you begin to tell a bunch of other people

it really isn't anyone else's business what your sexuality is, so don't feel the need to announce it if you're not comfortable doing that. i'm out to about a dozen people, it wasn't intentional for most of them to know, but it happened at a party. and they've been very positive in their friendship and haven't been telling people which i really appreciate.

Coming out to everyone depends on the society you live in and your parents of course!
For example as i live in Iran , i just came out as gay to only 2 of my trust-able friends .
If you're not afraid of them telling your parents that you're bi and if your society is supporting , I'd suggest you to tell them . Real friends won't leave you just because of sexual orientation .

Isn't being gay illegal in Iran? That sucks. :(

I feel bad for you. It's not illegal here, but it still isn't really accepted to the point where I'd feel safe coming out. :)
