Im seiously scared im gay.

I can tell you as a gay person myself, that if you truly are gay, that you shouldn't be afraid to embrace it. Accept yourself for who you are, but only come out to people when you feel ready and comfortable.

Honestly speaking, popularity is something that you shouldn't be concerned with. It's just a short-lived phase in life, and it'll fade with time. The problem with teens and young adults today, is that alot of you guys are obsessively concerned about pleasing your friends, even going as far as to taking on a false identity.

You, as well as any one of us, we're not put on this Earth to cater to people and to please them. If any of your friends are true friends, they will accept you for who you are regardless of your popularity rating and/or sexuality.

Your mom might not like gay people, but if she truly loves you, she will be open-minded enough to accept you for who you are. When somebody truly and genuinely loves you, they're able to look past certain attributes about you, and see you for the person that you are. Your mom can dislike, or even hate your sexuality as much as she wants, but as long as she accepts it (because it won't change) and accepts you, that's the important thing.

Don't ever deny yourself. Open up to people when you're confident and ready, and don't concern yourself too much about what others think about you. It's about how you feel and how YOU view yourself.

^^ listen to him he's good!

Worrying about what people think of you is of no use.If you are,embrace it.

PS- popularity is overrated..you should never base your self worth on what other people think of you. ;)

Seriously if the people around really love you and care about you then it shouldn't matter if you're gay or not

Only you can define your sexuality. Sit down and sort through your feelings. There's nothing wrong with being gay, so don't be afraid.

Don't be ashamed. You are who you are. If you're worried to tell people, maybe you can let a school counselor know how you feel, and they'll help you find a way to come out more.

Why did you feel the need to tell us the girl's name's rodala? What was she wearing that day?

What happened to OP, does anyone know?

hey i am not gay myself but have always wanted a gay friend lol just be yourself and if your friends dont like it their not you true friends ! btw im a gal... :D

Maybe you're not gay. I thought I was a lesbian once but after some experiences concluded that girls were ok but that I loved guys better. So before having some real gay experience you'll never know if you're into guys or not. And if you're gay then you're not the first and surely you'l not be the last. My best friend whose family are baptist is gay. At first they didn't understand and didn't want to accept but now things are better. Even if they still don't talk openly about it they are a happy family and he is much loved.

its very okay to be gay dont wont about others its your life...NOT THEIRS

Parents can still love their children and still react negatively to the news, especially if it cones as a surprise. Please understand that if the react poorly, it might be the shock factor - they likely had different dreams and goals for you. Give then some time to come around and hopefully they will end up accepting you, even if they are unhappy or disagree with your lifestyle.

Please remember that you have had time to sit with this information and it's up to you to decide when and to whom you come out to. Your parents will likely need time to process this new information and to cone to terms with it also.

Basically what I am trying to say is please don't think that they don't truly love you if you don't get the response you were hoping for initially.

Its fine to be gay, but seriously your not. at the moment your probibly bi-curious. THis is extreamly common in guys. To be curious to what it would be like to kiss or have sex with another man, to find men attractive, to have images or dreams about them. This does not mean you are GAY, but it could mean you are BI. So don't worry about it. Ive put up with alot of flack from friends and family. I know my family is like yours, they do not accept gay's and bi is close to that. If you want someone to talk to im a good one to talk to. If you have skype my account name is roleplayingking.

If your family and friends really love you, it won't matter to them. If you're gay there's nothing wrong with that..you are what you are

i know a guy who's going through exactly what you're going through. people are really suspicious of him and he does all he can to make people think otherwise. u may not be a complete flamer, but that doesn't mean you can't be gay. u will actually get alot of respect if u just come out. BUT BE SURE FIRST!!! you will be amazed at how accepting people are of gay people. and this is coming from an openly gay male, so i know what i'm talking about.

now if ur mom really and truly loves u, then she's not going to disown you. but, just because they're your parents doesn't mean that they are gonna fully agree with it. my parents love me just as much but they don't think that my lifestyle is right. but if they truly love you, then u have nothing to worry about. if your parents have ever told u "i'll love you no matter what", this is the time to see if they are seriously telling the truth.

you will feel alot better if you come out. i have met alot of closet gays (including my boyfriend when we first started dating) that are absolutely miserable because they have to keep such a big secret. they think that they have to act differently because people will get on to them. the number 1 way of thinking for being gay: it doesn't matter what they think. be you, not what society wants you to be.

good luck, bud. i wish u the best.

I'm 24 and being gay is seriously so much fun man! just wait till your ready to tell people, prob wait till after school, try to gauge how people think about gay people before you tell them. I lost 2 close friends when I came out, but I'm glad I lost em, that bitch still owes me $750! clearly Im better off without them. You'll meet such cooler friends who understand u too. And the ones who stayed around will be better friends. Some parents take it badly, mine didnt. But my friend's like disowned him. As I said try to gauge how people will react before you tell them. You don't have to go around screaming it. Whatever you do don't worry, it seems like everything now but later you'll see its not.

If you're in high-school don't fret. Most people choose to stay in the closet through high-school since kids are such jerks. If you plan to go to college, just wait. If you ARE gay you will have an absolute field day in college. The cliche youtube ads aside, it does "get better."

I dealt with coming out n have been there for my best friend when he came out, and if your friends are true friends they shouldn't give a f*#k if you are gay. And anyone who does, do u think they were ur true friend anyways? Most parents are accepting, cuz you still are there kid and they'll love you no matter what. And most gay people end up much happier when people accept them for their true selves and that they can be their true selves. Sometimes it can be a long journey, but in the end it will all turn out good and you'll be able to be happy n not have to hide your true feelings.

A lot of people have gone through this. I am a lesbian. It wasn't an easy journey to come out and live my life the way is natural to me. I was raised in a religious home (preacher's kid to be exact), so you can imagine the difficulty that caused. The important thing to remember is, no matter what, your feelings are important, and you deserve a life that makes you happy. If family or friends don't agree, don't let this stop you from finding happiness. You only get one life and it belongs to you. It isn't easy but you will make it through and will be stronger in the end.
Below is a website for gay youth that offers support and advice along with stories of what other people have gone through. Good luck! :)
