inb4thisisnttumblr inb4thisisntyourpersonalblog inb4gobacktotumblr ---- long story short, I'm a girl. I like other girls. A lot. I'm absolutely terrified to come out because my parents are quite religious and even though they said they would support me no matter what I'm still terrified about that 1% of them not supporting me. Also, I'm afraid I might just be going through a phase or whatever (and I know this might sound stupid but it has happened to me before) because for awhile I would like girls for like a week or two then after that I felt straight? It's confusing but that's the best way I can explain it. Only this time it's lasted about 2-3 months and it's really starting to take a toll on me, as in I think about it WAY too much. Everyone I've asked advice for said something along the lines of, "you're too young to know what you want" etc. (for context I'm 14).
I don't know what to do and need advice. (sorry for it sounding sob story-ish) |

If I was in your situation, I'd probably wait a bit more just to see if this isn't a phase. If you truly feel like that, confront your parents. Don't blurt it out, that might be a bit of a shocker for them. Tell them that you need to talk and make them promise not to be angry. Tell them how you feel, exactly how you feel in a calm way.
I know it's difficult to talk to your parents but keeping this a secret and coming out in your mid 20's or something might shock them even more. If you were a young adult, (16-19 y/o) this talk might be easier because at that point, your parents would be sure that you are old enough to make your own decisions. If you're this worried about your parents, try talking with a friend. I'm not talking about a run of the mill friend, I'm talking about your best friend; the person who will be friends with you even if you aren't straight and is a supportive person who you can trust.
I'm straight but I'm pretty good at putting myself in other people's shoes. I hope this helps you.

eek same age/situation here do you know if your parents are totally against it? my sister's friend came out and his mom is quite religious. She supported him, but she just gets awkward with him talking about boys etc |

@midget,
Yeah OP, see if your parents are somewhat lenient. My mother is intensely (fervently?) religious and she'd probably flip out if any of her children were LGBT. |
