When I came out, I was 16, my exam results had just come out and I had done exceptionally well. I ended up having a breakdown because I felt like I was finally doing something right for the first time and making my mom proud, but I was still hiding a significant part of me. I felt like a fraud so I went out and got a piercing and texted my mum. I still haven’t come out to anyone else because I don’t like the idea of having to confess; it seems like admitting something shameful to me. One day I would like to just bring a girl along and be like , “This is my girl.” (F/19/Bi)
