Should I come out of the closet?

I'm thirteen and live in a community that mostly hates gays. But i just feel so bottled up with no one to talk to. should I tell my best freind? I don't want our freindship to end.

Ometeotl agony auntTrust is the key word. Timing is of the essence. Do what makes you feel comfortable. You don't necesarly have to come out and say it but if you are gay then you need to be true to yourself and not fake your life. When the time comes you can say yes I am gay and I am proud. When you are older it is easier. I don't want to have to say not tell anyone but if you can trust someone then do it, let out some of that frustration. Believe it or not mothers are keen sense to a son being gay. I bet she already knows but doesn't say anything. If you need to talk, talk to your mom. Moms are perfect, not only do they keep it between you two she supports. Just be careful some mothers are not supportive. In most instances a mother can not bear to lose her children and will usually stand by your side.

I'm bisexual so i understand what you are going through. I know it's tough, but you should be honest and "come out" it's funny...my sisters and friends knew i was before i even came out so you might have your best friend's support. If not, then they weren't your real friends cause friends accept you for who you are. You are also young, so people might think you are just confused but give it time...things get better

cristina_baby agony auntim at the same point as you. i told my two best friends that i was bi sexual which was the hardest thing i ever had to do. and luckily they were both bisexual. but now im too scared to tell anyone else including my other best friend. you dont have to rush things rite now you can wait. im sure your best friend wont judge you enough to make your friendship over. at first im sure it will come as a shock. maybe you could start by hinting it off to him so it wont be all at once. i know my other friends would be weirded out and thats what im scared of happening. but hey you know what you are who you are and you shouldnt have to hide it because your scared of people judging you i think you should do whatever your most comfortable doing

GOOD LUCK!!
