One of the biggest problems about coming to the realization that you ARE gay, if indeed he is, is that OTHERS will not accept you for who you are. This is especially true of PARENTS as they are the one who we're most bonded to... and whose expectations we think we have to live up to.

My advise is for you to just be supportive. Don't be judgmental, just supportive no matter how it works out. If he DOES come to the conclusion that he's gay... you shouldn't treat him any differently than if he weren't. Additionally... if/when he decides to tell his parents... you'll probably have to be there for him to lean on while he goes through that ordeal... and I'm sure HE will be there when YOU need a shoulder to cry on (so to speak) when you have to break up with some girl... or you have other personal issues that you just can't talk to someone else about.

futurearmywife agony aunttheres nothing you can do to help him. Its something he needs to figure out on his own. YOU need to just be there for him no matter what. YOu guys are young there might be a chance that you don't know right now. You could just be going through an experimental stage, and personally i went through one of those, in my eyes its perfectly normal. Just be his friend and be there for him, and no matter what decision it is gay straight bi, as long as that person is happy that is all that matters! i hope this helped, if you want more advice feel free to message me!

futurearmywife agony auntYou can't really help huni. People need to figure these things out on their own. And listen sometimes it can just be a phase personally i went through a bi curious phase. You guys are still young so it can be a little difficult. That is something someone needs to figure out on their own. Just be there for your friend. That doesn't change who they are as a person.i hope this helped!

I wouldn't do anything sexual or anything with him. He's confused right now and he needs to figure a few things out on his own. You can't help him with that. Just show/tell him that you will support him whether he is gay, straight, or bisexual. Be sure that he knows that there is nothing wrong with people who are gay and that they are just a good as people who are straight.
