When I came out I was 14; it was last year. I’ve known that I was gay ever since I was like 7 years old but I have been so ashamed of it so I never told anyone, until July last year. My best friend and I sat on the beach and talked about this boy she had a huge crush on, then she asked me, “How come you’ve never been in love with a boy?” And I looked at her and she understood it the second she said it; I think it all suddenly made sense in her head. It was like a huge relief because after that we just talked about for two hours and finally I could let it all out, the things that I’ve had inside of me for so many years. The same night I told my family and my mom had kind a hard time to accept it but today everyone in my family is supportive. (F/15/Homosexual)
