Is it possible to have all of my friends and people at school know I'm gay, but...

[MizutokillIt'sWartt:]

...not everyone else...? Well this is kind of the predicament I'm in right now.

I'm 15 and pretty sure of myself. Of course I come across those who don't agree with my way of life, but I let them have it if they ever do me wrong.

On the other hand, I can't let my family know that I'm gay. I once told my legal guardian (mother figure, you would say), but her being the strong, devoted Christian she is, she told me crap like "ohh, but you have time to change."

I remember that night I told her. I cried myself to sleep (which took about 3 hours). Ever since that night, I told myself I can't come out to my immediate family until I'm ready to move out and survive on my own.

With my friends and people at school I am SUPER open about my sexuality. I even let some of my teachers know (btw, how do I come out to them without it being awkward? I have this teacher who likes to crack gay jokes and it annoys me every time he does it).

Help on this manner, please! (:

P.S. -- It might seem like I came out to her, but truthfully, it doesn't feel like it. It's been about a year since that day and we haven't mentioned one word about it since then.
I guess I'm too far in because EVERYONE at school knows -- and if they don't, then well... I guess that leaves room for hope?

i did that before, my parents dunno except for anyone else and my sisters, and one of my sisters had to tell on me.... when she was mad, which was messed up and yea good luck!

Sorry, but no. There is no way to keep stuff like that hidden from one group if you tell another group. Eventually, a kid will tell their parents and the parents will ask about it. That's just the way things work.


Try coming out to just your most trusted friends. That's what I did. My parents still don't know and won't know for many years.

no you can't......2 words: people talk

I'm sure you can. They might suspect, but they won't know.

I have a cousin and he's about 35, and he's never had a girlfriend. My mom said he's "probably gay" and there are other reasons too, but I don't think he's ever told anyone in our family. Which doesn't make sense because our family is one of those "accepting" families or w/e that says "we will always love you!"


Also, not to be mean or anything, but your legal guardian seems like a bitch... How do you change the way you're born, ya know?

About that teacher, when he makes a gay joke say "that's not funny and you're picking on a whole group of people the same way nazi's did to the Jews." If he persists with his jokes report him to someone. I'm sure you can get someone fired for that, or at least reprimanded.
