Story #1853

When I came out I was extremely scared. I noticed that I started having attraction towards females and yet I still liked males. I was extremely confused and I questioned my sexuality for over two years. One day I was alone in my room thinking and I finally realized that I was bisexual and I broke down crying. My close friend, who had come out long before I had, offered me emotional support and was able to help me see that my sexuality wasn’t something to be ashamed of but something beautiful to embrace. I came out to my friends and for the most part, they were pretty accepting, and some said, “We kind of knew already but we are glad you trusted us with this.” I still haven’t come out to my parents, but I’m slowly starting to build up the courage and hope to tell them soon. (F/17/Bisexual)
