So here's my advice to you if you would like to hear it. While yes you are still dependent on your folks I think it's important for you to open up to them when you feel you are ready to. But here's what I reccomend. First come out to your friends (one at a time as someone else stated), that way should things go negatively with your folks you'll be able to lean on your friends for support. Also take into account that the coming out process effects not only you but them as well. Yes they may become supportive at some point or they may not. But what's important is that you start that process when you feel the time is right. If you are really concerned about things you could also talk to a school counselor about things. That's what I did at the age you are now and it really really helped.

Anyway best of luck in this! Have faith in yourself. Coming out is a challenge but it's one that is truly worth going through. So take pride in yourself!

The time may seem right, but I would avoid coming out during the holidays. Too many other stresses, you don't need resentment added into the mix of tensions ( ... )

I really don't know how to provide an advice in this phase of my life, but I had to say something since we are probably in the same phase ( ... )
