It didn't go that well
It's not that she had a problem with it, but she's convinced that "I'm too young to know for sure" and that I can't be trusted with talking to other people about it because I'm too naive to know who to trust with my secret
So she blocked my Facebook, thereby cutting me off from the friends I might be able to go to for help and support >.<
Thank god she doesn't know about here
I'm just really depressed now, and I'm not sure what to do v.v

Well congratulations on having the courage to take that step. Give your mum some time to get used to the idea and to adjust, even if a parent isnt homophobic it can still come as a bit of a shock to them, but I'm sure she loves you and that will win out in the end. Always happy to talk if you need someone.

parent's are like that, i guess the best thing to do is let her get used to the idea that you aren't actually too young to know what's going on. usually if parent's see that you determined to prove to them that things are actually how they are, they tend to loosen up. As for facebook, you could just create another one with like a nickname or something so that she doesn't know, may not be advised but it's the only way you can somewhat communicate with your friends. i guess she's saying that you'll be naive and not know who to trust because she herself doesn't want people knowing, but that's just a guess. Either way, congratulations on coming out, it takes a lot of courage! :)

Well done. Just give your Mum some time and she'll come round and get used to it. She is probably just saying that youre too young to know because she is in shock. Give her a few days to a week and she'll be used to the idea your gay and then that will be that.

Well done for coming out to your mother. If you want to get onto facebook you could use a proxy. I'm not sure if you want to break your mothers rules. If you need a proxy you can pm me bro.

It's impossible to ask a parent to be 100% ok with this first time you tell them, but over time they should come to except the fact that this is the way you are.

As others have said, well done! It must have been incredibly hard for you to do it. You'll just have to give her time to adjust to the idea, think how she would feel, maybe she's under some pressure or something and she was surprised by it or she's thinking about how your life will be now.
She may have blocked your facebook because she feels that some people are influencing you through it, you know "convincing you that you are gay" or something like that. You'll just have to give her time and answer some of her questions to calm her :)

Good job....
Some moms are in denial about seeing their little boy turn into a man then wham! Gay man? It's a lot to process. From what you said, It sounds like she took it pretty well - she'll come around. Just give her time.
Just don't back down, at all. Don't candy coat anything. She's looking for signs that you may not be sure, or you're questioning or just curious or it's just the people you're hanging out with.....etc..
Stay convicted and you'll see her denial slowly melt away. It's a process for her to accept, just like it was for you to come out. Anyway moms are the best! They almost always come around!

Hang in there! To me (and maybe others agree) AS TEENS our biggest enemy seems to be TIME...and ALL THE TIME IT TAKES. Time NEVER seems to be on our side.
Good Luck!

Translate that as she hopes like hell you'll grow out of it and she damn sure doesn't want it spread about the neighbourhood cos she'd be humiliated if anyone knew. Now she's taking action against what she's blaming for causing this cos she damn sure isn't taking responsibility, she knows you've been dragged into this and hasn't gut an effin clue that this is the way ya were born.
Lay low, let her quiet down, she'll get tired of playing cop if she thinks she's cured ya and then ya can quietlly go back to yer life before ya let yer dragon out.
