I don't really know if I'm gay or bi yet, all I know is that I like other girls. I guess I've always been attracted to girls, but I just realized a few months ago that it was called being gay and that it was okay :) Most of my friends are girls, and I'm really afraid to tell them because I'm afraid they'll think I'm going to hit on them or something, even though I just see them as friends. Our librarian is gay and she's really nice so I know there's at least 1 adult I can talk to. I'm just scared of telling my friend-girls.

How Should She Come Out?

just say it

you'll be surprised how understanding friends can be. if they're real friends they'll accept it. let them know how you feel and let them know you don't see any of them that way. I was scared to tell my friends, but once i did it felt like weight had been lifted off my shoulders. i didn'y have to hide it anymore
