advice??, i really need some >.< Options

[mzz_shotee]

my friend just realized she's a bisexual. she's really scared and dunno how to deal with it and she asked me and my girlfriend for some advice. since i'm a bisexual, i'm supposed to be able to help her, right? well i can't
when i realized i was a bisexual i just told everybody and made a joke out of it and people were mostly like "haha i knew it!! " and they treated me the same. but half of the people in my friend's school (we go to different schools) already dislikes her alot because they suspect she's a lesbian. isn't that HORRIBLE?!? anyways, she's afraid of what's gonna happen if people finds out. she's proud that she's bisexual and doesn't really wanna hide it from everyone (trust me, it's freaking HARD to keep this kinda stuff in). so what do you think she should do?? and how should she tell her parents? i haven't told mine yet and i don't think i EVER will, but my friend hates lieing to her parents(such a goody-goody ). please help
oh and we're 16, by-the-way

Yep. I had that same problem.

I just grew up a realized that I couldn't control people's opinions of me. I knew that my true friends would stay by me and the ones that didn't want to weren't real friends in the first place. That helped me get through it.

I knew I could control how I feel about it. I accepted myself and basicly made a personal agreement with myself that I wouldn't let anyone bring me down no matter what because that's not WHO I am. It's just one of those details. I think that's one of the biggest reason people disgriminate and some people are ashamed of themselves.

I'm totally comfortable with it and everyone knows. I was tired of keeping it in so I told my friends and I told them I didn't care if it got out. So, basicly, it got out to a lot of people. The next week one of the school's gossip saw me hooking up with a chick outside the mall in front of everyone and EVERY eighth grader found out and many seventh graders. But like I cared.

Later, I told my parents. I have really cool parents (when it comes to that kind of thing). I pretty much just came out and told them. It was pretty sudden but they didn't really care. But I knew they wouldn't. If she's scared her parents won't be as comfortable with it, she should probably break it to her much more slowly. My parents didn't care.

But it depends where you come from and your own confidence. It took most people a little while to warm up to me but a lot of a girls soon realized that I wasn't about to hit on them or anything (if I knew they wouldn't want me to ) and they got used to it. Some people would talk and some would question me about who I thought was hott and all that stuff. But I got used to it.

It's really not too hard as long as you're prepared to handle it.

And a huge tip is that after girls get comfortable with their sexuality, they start hitting on girls that are straight and not caring and making the girls really uncomfortable. You should not do that because it's a great way to get people to hate you.
