to be honest there is two sides to my situation; to some degree i wish i never came out, to be frank people treat me differently and though they try it makes me feel uncomfortable, but on the other hand the freedom it gives you to be who you are is amazing.  
 
+for staying closeted while your young....means guys can stay the night :P 
 
one thing i simply cannot stress enough is that dont come out too soon live out your teen years experiencing the joys of life on both sides. then later on you will obviously be more sure in yourself and your sexuality, most parents say this in the hope you\'ll turn out straight as did my mum, but i ended up coming out much later and it was great, by that stage my parents were fine about it. 
 
my dad was the coolest about it, although i got a sex talk from him, THAT was weird as he is a doctor and i got an aids and protection talk LOL. soooooo awkward. my mum still acts funny about it, kinda makes me sad sometimes. but i suppose it is a hard thing to come to grips with. give your parents time, it really isnt an easy thing. they were brought up believing homosexuality is an evil thing, and lived through an era where alot of gay men died from aids, and naturally the only thing parents want is whats best for their kids. if you just be yourself and talk with them about such things im sure you can get a more positive outlook on life. 
 
my way was telling brothers and sisters first, then best friends, after that my mum. really parents shouldnt be told first as they\'re reactions can be spiteful and can really hurt you sometimes, its god to have someone to talk too.  
 
in finishing it is your choice; only come out when your comfortable in yourself.
