Can I have some help with coming out?

[Johupp]

Okay, I've been thinking really hard this year and i want to come out to my parents and family. I have been reading a bunch of stuff about it and what not to do I guess.

A Little About Me.

I'm 14 1/2. I live in Nebraska where gays are overlooked. My dad's part of the family is kinda religious in a way and my mom's side is under some stress. I've told my parents that I've had several crushes on girls and I think that just dug me into a bigger hole. I don't really have any friends, and the ones I have don't know(They don't live anywhere close). The only person that knows is my sister.

Maybe some tips? I know I'll have to wait till everybody isn't so stressed but that might be some time.

Remember, your coming out for YOU. Not anyone else. Don't not come out just to keep people happy. Come out because YOU are ready and because it's who YOU are. Be happy with your decision to come out and never regret it. It's better to be true to yourself then live a lie. Good luck with coming out. Message me if you need to

To me since you are questioning so much of it I don't really think you are quite ready. Plus you are still a bit young.
Give yourself more time to think about it. You HAVE to be sure that you are ready. You can't think, wonder, guess, or hope that you are ready. You have to KNOW you are ready.
No matter what it will be a scary thing. You have to come out in the way you want to though.
I think you should give it at least another year, as hard as that may seem, think about it the whole time.

I've read that post about 4 times now, but thanks anyways. lol

Edit: @TheMidnightDreamer...
I agree. I know I should wait, but I'm not for sure if it's going to be another whole year. Maybe towards the end of it.

Just take your time about it and let things happen when you feel they should. And whenever you do decide to finally come out just know that you're doing it for yourself and not the other people. It's more about taking that last step to accepting your sexuality and being comfortable enough with it that you no longer want it to be a secret.

My best advice is to find a trusted person to talk to about this. Believe me, it's much harder trying to go through this alone- and it's always nice to have somebody to fall back on if things don't turn out right.
