Help! I think I'm gay!
A boy named Jai emailed me saying:
I think I'm starting to turn gay! I like my best friend and I dont know what to do...should I tell him?
First off, it's ok to be gay. There's no problem with it. My advice for this would be to stay calm, think about him:
a) if he's understanding, tell him how you feel, get it off your chest. You never know, he might feel the same way. If he doesnt, he'll understand and you can carry on being friends without it being weird.
b) if he's a bit of a joker, it's not your best option to tell him. He may feel awkward or pressured and you may end up losing your relationship. Find a trusted friend to tell to get it out, a friend that will understand. Maybe if you feel comfortable, and youre alone and have loads of time to talk, you could talk it out with him in a serious way otherwise he may make jokes. Remember, it's about when you feel comfortable. Only you can decide that time.
Thanks for reading, hope this helps Jai.
