I've realised that I'm a lesbian, but I just can't possibly tell my family!

Question - (16 July 2005) 1 Answers - (Newest, 18 July 2005)
A female , anonymous writes:

I am turning 18 years old this year. My life has changed 3 years ago when I was a freshman at the university. When I was in high school, I was just an ordinary girl. But when I got into the university, I knew right then that I was in a new world. This world is bigger and there is more freedom than high school. I have seen many types of people that I have never seen before. I was having a problem getting friends.

My first friend at the university is lesbian. I go out and hang out with her occasionally. I feel really good and relax when I am with her. I started to realize that something inside me had changed when the first 2 months at the university had passed. I now know that I am a homosexual girl. The thing is my family does not know about this. My family has strongly opposed homosexuality as long as I could remember.

I am so worried about them if they find out who I really am. I am too afraid to tell them. I don’t want to hide this side of me from my family. But I do not know that they can accept me or not. I want to spend my life openly. I am so confused with myself. What should I do? Can you guys help me out?

Tell your family who you are, and if they cannot respect that, then they have problems. Your their daughter, and they should as a loving family support you as you support there decisions in life. Don't be afraid. I know many people who have come out of the closet to their families, and I am friends with a homosexual male and his family is in full support of him. I don't mind hanging out with him, as long as he doesn't make a move..
