“I am a 16 YEAR old girl and I have recently realized I am bisexual. This is not a violent or unbelievable sorry, but it is sad that even in the progressive countries which are supposed to accept diversity, coming out is too scary FOR many teenagers.

My family may not look conservative or narrow minded, and they identify as progressive.

Without my parents knowing about my sexual orientation, they have always asked if I fancied any boy, if I was going out with any…

Mi mother has always taken FOR GRANTED many things which just make my life quite more difficult. As she doesn’t know anything about it, she discriminates the community without knowing the harm she causes to me, and I still have to be quiet.

We are not allowed to talk about homosexuality in front of our nine year OLD sister. I know I wouldn’t be accepted, but silence is slowly killing me.

Hope to help.”
