Hey.
There is nothing more I would love to do than come out of the closet. It would be awesome. But I won't. Not until I am not school-bound.
I am way too afraid of people- they are usual d***heads in general, and I could be opening up a m*****f***ing
pandora's box for myself. So, for safety, I'll hide.
What are your opinions on the matter in general?

I thik that it's up to you when you come out. Don't feel pushed to come out sooner than you want.

I truly understand you, not just because some of the other students in my school are exactly like you describe yours, but also because I have two homophobic friends in my class (I heard both of them saying bad things about homosexuality, in different occasions). I think it's all up to you when to come out and for who.

It is entirely your choice and you must only do it when you're ready I reccomend doing it person by person and that'll gain confidence. I'm out to my family, school and rugby team although I decided to not let it get out at work though I do not consider myself closeted
I'm a Loiner, apparently...

i can only recite the standard speech but i will give you the main points to it anyway.
do it in your own time
do it how you want
do it to who you want
it is essential that you control how it goes.
i would add, too, dont drag it out, do it face to face, try not to plan it too much as it only gives time to scare you more, and dont worry about it
it will be alright in the end, and if it's not alright, it's not the end yet.

It's not too bad if you aren't out, especially if you don't have supportive parents and friends. That's my case. I'm out to a few at school. They're okay about it, and that's what I need. Do it when you're ready, and take it slowly.

My classmates mistreat me even without knowing that I'm gay. But I had no problem with telling to my mother and my sister.
I suggest you don't go out to everyone at the same time, just think hard about who you trust and when would be the right time.
