Re: Being comfortable in my school/Meeting other LGBT kids -

I agree with what has been said. My school is pretty accepting, but I was still worried like hell. I had previously been very ashamed of who I was, and very scared of what others might think. One night, I decided that maybe, just maybe, things would be better if I decided to stop hiding myself. So I posted "I am bisexual" on facebook. Within 30 seconds, I have at least one or two friends posting very encouraging and supportive comments. I got to school the next day, being fully ready for someone to stop being friends with me or verbally attack me the second I walked in the door. And what happened? Not a thing. All I got was support and encouragement and expression of pride from my friends. That was all. My self-hatred and fear was largely over with. As others have said, it is very unlikely that it will be anywhere near as bad as you think, and if it is, there are SO many people willing to help you. I think you will soon discover that love from a few people, can very easily outweigh hatred, or fear of hatred, from many others. Anybody who hates you for being bisexual is:
A) ignorant B) not worth your time and C) likely afraid that they fit into LGB or T as well. Don't even think about those people for a second! They don't matter. Who you love is a preference just as anything else is. Don't let anybody bother you about that.
Making fun of you for liking both genders is like making fun of somebody for liking both computer operating systems or two different flavors of ice cream. It's utterly stupid.
