Should i come out of the closet?

Question

so im 15 and i know 100% sure im Bi Sexual. im Hispanic but hang around more whites and i go to a school that is harsh when it comes to Bi Sexual and g*y guys. now i told my girlfriend and a couple of very close friends and theyre cool with it, now im not sure weather i should come out to my parents and the world. i think itll be a LITTLE bit harder to come out to my parents bbecausethey would seem like the type to be like "whattttt!?" but get over it eventually. so i was basically wondering what the cconsequencesare to me coming out.

Answer 1

well its up to u. i ask myself everyday should i come out that im g*y and i try to look at the pros and cons of things if i come out. but when i think about it theres a whole lot of cons then pros. but try to make a list and see if u wanna tell them or not

Answer 2

I don't think you should come out to the world, there's really no need, as it's no one's business but yours and those who you trust enough to tell. I'm bisexual and I would never tell my parents unless I got a girlfriend. I figure what's the point in letting them know I like both sexes? Really? So they can have nightmares about me making out with girls and wondering what they did wrong to raise me? There's no point, telling them would only cause chaos. So I suggest you don't tell your parents until you get a boyfriend...cuz then it'll be pretty obvious, and at least there will be a good reason for you telling them.  

Answer 3

do what you feel is right.

Answer 4

well from what you said your parents would seem ok but the only consequence i think would be maybe losing a few friends who dont accept you for that and in some cases you parents may not accept you and possibly disown you or treat you differently.  I am going to wait untill i am at least 18 and probably wait until i am out of college so they cant punish me just for being g*y and if i do then i will just leave.  

Answer 5

I'd wait another year or 2 ! You all will handle it better when older !

Answer 6

come out of the closet..... your parents or some people around may hate you but that is temporary.... beside, it feels free and good when you are youself  

Answer 7

So when did your parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts start telling you about their sexual practices?!!

Sadly your question shows that you are just naive and immature and heading towards making a complete idiot of yourself!!!

Answer 8

You should probably tell everyone.

For you parents, they love you for who you are, nomadder what!

& other people in the school, who gives a **** if they care if your bi. It's not your fault. It's just love. If anything most people should be pround of you for coming out!

Answer 9

You're fifteen.  You're most likely still in puberty...and your sexual orientation may still vary to something other than bisexual.  I would encourage you to be patient...invest yourself in your studies, sports, hobbies...get your high school (and college if you're going) out of the way, get a job and your own place.  You're probably dating now...but when you get your own place you will, most likely, be dating more seriously...and it will soon become obvious which gender you prefer...  There are no written laws that say that anyone has to reveal their most private, personal affairs to the world...even to your parents...  If you want to 'come out', please do...however, please realize that there could be 'consequences' that you may not foresee...

Answer 10

Go out, tell everyone who you are when you are ready.  Don't force it upon yourself if you're really not comfortable speaking up about it though.  You're 15, so you're most likely in high school, and really, it's a cruel place.  Be prepared for some people to stare at you, poke fun at you, talk about you.  But who cares?  This is the time to find out the true friends that would stay by your side no matter what.  I don't see why anyone would physically "beat" you up though.  If that's the case, I think that certain person must really have some real problems to be discriminating against bisexuals, and should seek counseling.  Sexual orientation is already an open matter in this society.  Many people have already learned to just accept it.

Btw, it's spelled "consequences".

Answer 11

im dealing with the same thing! except im g*y not bi. I only told my close best friend and of course she understands cuz shes bi and also my other friend.. im afraid to tell anyone else!! but i think you should tell your parents... i might tell mine soon. ino there going to accept it but if they didnt (witch isnt going to happen) id run far away and slit my wrists deep

Answer 12

i would at least wait until you are done with college and the people you hang out with are mature adults. high school kids can be very shallow and mean. i know.
