I never even realsied I was noticing them, until it suddenly dawned on me that I kept looking at other girls. I was disgusted with myself, and I kept telling myself I had to stop it, that maybe it was just a phase, or something like that. I never dreamt of telling anyone. I'd always had boyfriends- that was what all my friends did. But I never really noticed boys until I was 13-ish. When I was around 12, I was slowly becoming used to the idea that I wasn't straight. I wasn't happy about it in any way, I was just accepting that I wasn't. Then one day in an art lesson my (ex) friend (Who caused alot of bother for herself by bitching at everyone else at every opportunity she got- And got me to fight her battles for her.) was being called all sorts of names. Then one of them said something about her being a lesbian, then they all started calling her it, so I blew my top and shouted at them that they couldn't say things like that, that it wasn't right. They turned on me and started going on about how it shouldn't make any difference to me, and why am I bothered when they say that? They kept going on for ages. And then I just let it slip. I didn't want to tell them that I only liked girls, that was going too far. That was just wrong. So I told them I was bi. You should have seen the shock on their faces. They didn't talk to me for the rest of that lesson. By the end of the day, almost everyone from most of my classes, and other people in the year knew. I'm still being teased now, two years on. But at least I really am what I've come out as. And after about 6 months, the teasing stopped getting to me. I had other stuff to deal with (Which I'm not going to go into) and the teasing about my sexuality was just the same thing over and over. It wasn't upsetting, it was just boring. After about a year, it died down a bit, but I still get it every other day. I've been with my boyfriend for about a year. He's uncomfortable with me being bi, but he doens't make a thing out of it. We just don't mention it and it doesn't bother us. I think I just came out at the wrong time for the wrong reasons. I don't even believe in coming out. It's not something that you need to do. It's you and you only. If you choose to tell your friends, sure. But telling everyone just isn't the right thing. [/QB][/QUOTE]
