Coming Out 101

34

Hiya, I'm not entirely sure on how to start off but I guess I'll just get straight into the info then. So I'm bi, 13 and yeah, anyways this will be a short story but oh well. Well I'm the type who prefers to be 'in the closet' rather than straight out tell my friends I'm bi, pretty much because I'm terrified on what they'll think of me... Although I'm much more confident and more myself online instead of in real life.. So how I knew how I was bi, well it started on a school day when I was probably 5-7 possibly along those lines I mean its been quite a while so - I mean I might not even entirely correct. Anyways let's call the girl Viki since that's close to her name, so me and a bunch of other kids were at some learning thing possibly to increase our 'intelligence' since we were dumb kids back then (obvs cuz we were like what - 5???) Anyways so Viki out nowhere asks me whether I'd like to give her a kiss under a table. Me being young and foolish accepts gladly. *Face palms* I was 5 or something you cannot blame the innocent me back then XD although I defiantly don't regret my actions it's pretty much made me who I am today!So we pecked under the table. That's the story of how I became to be a bi. Now my story of coming out, well if you'd like to call it that, so I got into some online biz at 11 let's simply say it involved some chatting and a massive age gap... I'm not going to elaborate further as I've been working hard for 2 damn years to try and forget it as much as I can not only that but that's a different story entirely... And so my mother found out about it and I in a way was force to tell her EVERYTHING even the fact that the person was female... So that then escalated into most of my family member finding it all out as well. You see, my mother is highly religious meaning she's quite homophobic.. After possibly 2days she tried to change who I was by making me read the bible and what not. That did not work, I am who I am. The only person who truly accepted me was my my older brother. Til this day I'm absolutely grateful for that and more at ease with taking about my sexuality with him than anyone else in my family, it in a way brought me closer to him. My main message to Gays, Lesbians and the bi is that don't let anyone absolutely ANYONE control your lives or who you are. You are who you are, a beautiful/handsome, loyal and unique person, yes for me it was hell coming out but it doesn't have to be like that for anyone, follows your heart not someones else's. If you've made it this far then thank you for reading this. ~ Simply call me Lily
