I just accepted the fact that I'm bi, what now?

[Hank Hill]

Im 14 and yeah, i just accepted i'm bi, but i odn't know if I should tell anybody, or just keep it a secret? I'm afraid that people will beat me up or something at school. somebody help me what do i do?

Well, it depends, Are the people at your school accepting of people that are gay/bi/lesbian? If they aren't, start with your close friends and work your way out gradually, don't do it all at once because people will think you're doing it for attention. Message me if you need any help :)

[Hank Hill]

it sucks because some people don't care and some people hate gays and bi's lol... thx ill probably do that.

Only tell people that you trust.
I lost a few friends because they found out I wasn't straight.
But yeah, my real friends didn't mind.

I did the exact same, and I still have friends that don't know. I would tell them, but they're not very accepting.

It all depends on why you want to tell them, is there something your trying to gain like a friend to date or just to let them know the real you. Put into consideration all the pro's and con's of what might happen if you tell people. The best thing to do is look at the other gay/bi people in your school and see how other people treat them. Then you can decide if really have the need to tell anyone.

Im glad you have accepted yourself, that in itself if a huge step for many people. :D
I think you should start with close friends, work your way out. Try and stay away from those who dont like bi's/gays/ect. For whatever reason they do. But its ok for you to just take your time with this sort of thing.

If your mates are real, proper mates then they should accept you for the person you are, not by your sexuality. I recently told my mates I was bi and they're fine about it, but I accept that I'm lucky to have such supportive friends. You need to just be careful, I wouldn't - and haven't - told everyone as there are always idiots who spoil it for the rest of us. Good luck, and it's great you've accepted yourself.

i'd recommend telling your friends first and if they really love you like they say they do then they can accept you for who you are. i dont really think you should tell the public about it if you feel like your going to be beaten up or anything that serious. If you love yourself thats all that really matters in the end whether you need to make new friends or not.

OK, well first of all welcome to the club. Now I'm going to disagree a bit with the answers above because my view is why tell anyone at all, its really nobody else's business. Would you expect str8 friends to say, "by the way I think I might be straight"? Its entirely up to you when and if you choose to come out to people, I wouldnt be in too much of a hurry.

pm me if you want to talk more.
