writes:Hey, I really want to tell my mom about what I'm going through with my sexuality (I think I'm gay) but I need some advice on how to go about doing that. So any help would help a lot. Are there any teens out there who feel the same way? I'd love to hear how you feel because I'm tired of not being able to talk to anyone about this. Thanks a lot Reply to this Question

Well you don't say what you think her attitude would be to it . You might have some idea from things she has said.
Eg have you watched GLEE together and does she like the Kurt character ?
Also - you don't mention your Dad - is he living with you or do you see him ?
TV shows like 6 feet Under and Glee reflect a generally greater societal tolerance of homosexuality albeit of course there is still a lot of ignorance and prejudice.
But it will eat at you if you don't discuss something so important with a parent or school counsellor - and sooner rather than later.
Plus there is online support / communities - and if you go to church at all many denominations ( esp Episcopal ) have L and G support structures / priests and so on.
Good luck and tell us how it went......

 Perhaps you could have a chat with a school counselor if you're not ready to tell your mom. If you're not in danger (you're not gonna jump off a bridge or anything) then they should keep it confidential.
Also... does your school have a gay-straight alliance? You would have support from other kids going through similar things.
It's hard to "come out" to your parents... but I'm sure they really love you!! Even if you're gay... that's all right, unconditional love means loving you for YOU. :)
Hope this helps...
