Over the past year I have felt some changes. I notice that I wasn't interested in guys anymore. And after talking to my family and shrink about it, we came to the conclusion.. I'm a lesbian. After admitting this very tough situation to my friends, I sort of lost them. It seems they don't want to be friends b/c they are afraid of the situation, and they don't want to be friends with me. I thought admitting this to my friends was the right thing to do. What should I do.

I understand that this is a very tough situation for you but you need to accept yourself the way you are. Once you feel comfortable with yourself maybe your friends will lighten up. You have to understand that it is a very awkward situation for them and they need some time to think about it and get used to it. If you continue to be a good friend to them then hopefully they will come around. Surround yourself with your family for comfort and begin to try and meet new people.. consider it a fresh start. Always be honest with your friends and if they can't accept you for you then they must not be good friends anyways. But it will take time unfortunately. A good way to make new friends is to get active in a club.. softball, student council, swimming, etc. hope everything works out. Don't feel bad about yourself and don't have any regrets just know you did the right thing to be honest. good luck [ Itz_your_luckee_day's advice column | Ask Itz_your_luckee_day A Question ]
