Dealing with Myself.
hey I'm jr. in highschool and i play baseball. recently i have been finding about myself that I am attracted to the same sex. I'm not a hornball, but its strong enough attraction that I know that I am gay. I am so afraid to come out to anyone or do anything about it. But it makes me unhappy to not beable to express how I feel to anyone. I've tryed telling my mom, but she said it was just probably a stage I'm going through and she doesnt think I'm seriouse. also I play baseball right? And I dont know if its the same at your school but baseball players or anyone that plays varsity sports, cannot be gay, because of the reputation that they have. There the strong cocky jocks, and if any of my good friends found out I was gay... they would freak out and look at me differently, and i dont think i could live with that. I'm very much NOT attracted to anyone on my team or anyone that i know is straight but I dont think I could get that point across to the guys.

Well I'm sorry you are feeling unhappy and afraid, those are the worst emotions.
You could very much be going through a stage at the moment. I think alot of teenager go through a "Bi-curious" stage. It could also mean you are gay. If you truely think you are gay, it takes a alot of courage to come out and announce it. It takes some people years to come forward, but they eventually do becuase they dont want to be ashamed of who they are. I think when you are ready, sit your mom down, and tell her how you are feeling, with out her intrupting. Then let her speak on what she thinks. With the friend situation, I think that would be the hardest, because teenagers can be so mean. If or when you come out to your friends, let them know you dont have feelings for them, but you wish that they still value your friendship, and hope things are not going to become werid in the future. Knowing most guys, they would get scared or weired out by this situation, which is tough. But you find your true friends in times like these.
I dont completly understand the baseball situation, I think your sexuality should have NO SAY what-so-ever in what sports you play. And if they kick you off the team or whatever, you could easyesly sue for harassment.
I hope you find what answers you are seeking, and that I helped you out somewhat.
Keep me up-dated with your choices
