Am i going to have to come out all over again?

Question

Im moving schools for sixth form, and im not going with any of my friends.. Im really nervous that im going to have to tell every one im bi sexual all over again, as it was a really scary experience last time. Im worried about how long i should wait before i tell my new friends in soxth form and how i should do it?

It took me over 2 years to come out to my current friends, as i was terrified they wont accept me for who i was (2 of them didnt and i broke up with them) what if i lose more friends over my sexuallity next year?

Any advice?

Why worry about it.  In my opinion, your sexual orientation is not significant to many people.  Tell the people you need to, when necessary and leave it at that.  I don't tell anyone who I like to sleep with.  No one cares.  And if it were to come up in a conversation, then I would clarify as needed.

If you want your friends to know the real you then you have to keep telling people throughout life.  It is up to you whether you tell them or not, though.

People who like you will be able to understand and accept you for who you are, and those who can't are not real friends anyway.

It is best to let people know early in your friendship rather than not mention it for years.

Also, there are people that you might feel don't need to know, as it isn't their business.  Make those decisions, too.

Just be honest about it from the beginning and whoever is ok with that will come up and talk to you and try to be your friend... mostly girls, but a guy or two wouldn't mind either

Doing be afraid to come out you are who you are , and you should be proud as others that didn't know you once before come in your life they'll end up finding out and if there the real people , they'll treat you the same way regardless of your sexual orientation

yes my advice is dont tell everyone beause MOST people dont want that level of knowledge

come out ONLY to those interested enough to ask. Make your first action to join the Gay straight alliance if the new scool has one. establish your new friendships from there. word will soon spread that you are gay and only those who WANT to accept you will do so

The first answer has most of this covered, but I'll say that if your "friends" can't accept you for who you are, they aren't your friends and never were.

Why do you need to tell anyone?  Your sexuality is your own business.  Is your sexuality who you are?  I hope not, surely there is much more to you.

Believe it or not, you never stop coming out.  Every time you move school, move house, move jobs, meet someone new, you have to come out again

And it will not stop for the rest of your life.  So think of this as practice
