Problems with Coming out in High Scool

[Ginger Ale]

I need help with a really tough situation. I'm a High scool student in a really conservative part of PA and I don't know what to do in this situation. So, lately I've been becoming more confident and comfortable with my sexuality, and I want to come out so I can find more friends, possibly even a boyfriend.


The thing is, I've shown affection and had feelings for girls before, and everyone I associate with assumes I'm straight, which I'm not, I'm bisexual. I don't know how to go about coming out now, especially now that literally two weeks ago I went out with a girl (it was an uneventful time, to say the least).


My worry isn't that I'll lose friends because I'm into guys, my worry is that I'll lose friends because I'm into guys AND girls.


tl;dr - How can I come out as a bisexual when people think I am straight?

Just say you are bi at acceptable times I guess? Dont try and say it all the time because thats obnoxious but you know just joke about it and be silly most some people might tease you about it but that's all good its in an endearing way. if someones an a hole about it there usually hated by every normal person anyway.


I mean honestly I like the D and V and most people don't really seem to care even rednecks hell I've been friends with a lot of rednecks who know Im bi and are ok with it.


I live in probably the most conservative part of Florida and it was never an issue with anybody.
Most younger conservatives aren't really homophobic if they like you though they have no issue being as such if you perceive them to be because they are more live and let live then there parents older conservatives are hit and miss though likely not mean or hostile as stereotyped they may not accept homosexuality but dont really care as long as you arent shoving it into everything you do.


But yeah thats the only advice I can give. I wouldnt make an effort to try and make bisexual a part of what defines you because that simply comes off as a substitution for any sort of interesting feature and it comes off as obnoxious. But feel free to slide it in at times or joke about it or in discussions of sexuality talk about it.


*edit* Oh and another thing is if you look a certain way some people will just assume your bi or gay . I dont even have to go out of my way to tell people. they ask.


Thats another way I guess...

Thanks for the advice, man. That seems like a good way to go about it.

Best idea is not to until you're out of that place. It could be really bad for you and I dont reccomend it.
