I hate high school

I came out to all of my friends a while ago, but I came out to "everyone" over the summer, and I really would recommend it to anybody. I just found myself hanging with bigger, more varied groups of people, and everyone wanted to know if I'd landed myself a girlfriend yet, and other such questions, so I was just honest about it.

A lot were really surprised and kind of thought they were supposed to keep it a secret, but I kind of told them, "If it comes up, then so be it; it's not a secret or anything". By the time school started everyone at school knew about it. I'll admit, I was pretty damn nervous on the first day, mainly worried that the people (well, the guys) I'd talked to last year would no longer want to associate with me. Or that it might cut off new friendships before they even begin because people don't want to converse with the gay kid.

But it was perfect. Everyone was cool with it, the old classmates and I hit it up like nothing had happened (and nothing did, really). I've made lots of new friends too, and I haven't received any negative comments so far. I love my life .

 

I was outed by one of my best mates over the Xmas holiday between my 2nd and 3rd year. I was angry at first but now I'm really glad it happened everything is so much easier.

 

I came out early in my senior year... it wasn't better nor worse overall, but I felt better with myself.

 

This year is my first year in HS. And its ok. I was thinking aboutt hsi topic at lunch yesterday. and i came to realise, it wont be easy. IDK, i will most likely wait until my brother is outta the school(hes a JR) and then i might come out. idk yet though.

 

I came out (to a select group of people) near the end of senior year, a month after I discovered myself. Definitely let off a bunch of stress, and I don't regret it at all.

 

I've been out and trying to re-in myself atm>_<

 

I'm actually in high school, and I havn't come out to anyone at my school except 3-4 people so I don't think it counts as coming out in high school. But so far, I'm glad i'm not out because I know if I was, I'd get so much crap from people considering I got to an all boys private school.

 

I came out at the end of my freshman year when i was dating my first boyfriend. I actually came out to most of my school by posting pictures of me and my boyfriend making out. Everyone still loves me of course i lost a few guy friends when i first came out. But now im a junior and everyone is okay with it. I dont ever get negative comments. Mostly because im not ashamed of it. I have people ask me questions some times but thats about it. Everyone knows im gay and i dont care. The kids who get made of for it are usually the ones who are ashmaed of themselves and kind of bring it upon themselves by trying to hide it and getting nervous about it. I talk about doing stuff with guys to straight guys at school and they usually laugh because i talk about it like theres nothing wrong with it. I dont take shit from anybody though i can keep my own when i get in a fight.

 

Haha most people know me at my school for being a slut so its hillarious. Ive hooked up with a few "straight" guys so yeah. Come out in highschool. It wont hurt. staying in teh closet will make it worse. In my opinion.

 

Well, i came out to a couple of friends, who then told everyone i know. Resulting in me being hated by my whole school - Great friends.
No idea why i told them. I've always hated myself for liking guys. I've never been able to accept it and still can't. Recently dropped out of highschool to avoid parents finding out. - They're really phobic and would kick me out if they knew. So yeah, thats what happened to me

 

Wow. The same thing happened to me! I ended up quitting school because of it. This was back in the late '70's,so you can imagine the crap I went thru. Don't worry.sweetie.it DOES get better, especially now that you're done with school!(*hug*)
