Who Did You Come Out to First?

6th Grade: My Bestfriend

Were There Any Challenges?

I was very nervous to explan to my mother that I have feelings for both Guys and Girls. She to this day just thinks It's a trend, that I'm doing this because Teens are coming out all at once now a days. Honestly I am not confused about my sexuality. I Like both, If I find someone who is willing to marry me and accept me Regardless of gender then I will be happy, I tried to explan that to her but she still just treats it as nothing.

Advice

  • My family always ask me question's like why did you choose this lifestyle, and I always respond to that question with the same answer. I didn't just wake up and choose to be bi-sexual. It started when I was very young. I had feelings for girls, as I got older I acted on those feelings, They still think I'm just doing this to be kool or to fit in, when I flaunt that I am gay they think I'm showing off for other people to think it's "cool", When the truth is I am proud of who I am and how my lifestyle is and I just don't care what anyone says If I love somone Guy or Girl. I want them to accept it.
