    Today, I hung out with 2 of my best high school friends, and they kind of "coaxed" me into telling them. I was really stressed out when I was hanging out with them, and they kept asking me why. I kept telling them I didn't want to talk to them about it, but they kept persuading me to, so I felt kind of forced to. They told me they still love me no matter what, and they know a lot of gay people, but I have some anxiety now because the news could easily spread among my high school community like wildfire. How can I ease this?

    I didn't tell my mom that I told them because I'm sure she would be mad at me if I did.

    Aren't you going to college in a few months anyway? It doesn't really seem to matter if it spreads like wildfire when you'll be gone soon anyway. I don't think they would tell people though if they're your best friends.

    Congratulations on coming out to them too.

    Thanks. It wasn't easy to do, and I practically kept trying to dodge the question until they "forced" it out me.
