"I'm in the closet and my parents are homophobic. Most of my friends are too. 1 of my friends is bi and he's made fun of constantly. I told them to back of cos it doesn't mater if he's bi. Then they said I was a f****t. As a normal person in the closet would do, I denied it. I felt terrible about myself. I STILL DON'T NO WHAT TO DO. HELP ME DECIDE."
This sounds like a really tough situation. First off, instead of feeling guilty about not coming out to homophobic classmates who are calling you names, when you don't even have support at home, you should be really proud of yourself for standing up for a friend who is being bullied.
Coming out is really tough under the best of circumstances, and sometimes it simply isn't safe to do so. No one, especially no teenager, should feel pressured to come out. While it is true that the more people come out, the more being GLBT is normalized and the more solidarity kids can get from each other, it is also true that dealing with constant teasing over your sexual orientation can be toxic for your mental health.
If and when you do decide to come out, please make sure you have at least one supportive adult in your life who you can turn to if things get tough.
