Scared of People Knowing the Truth
Hello. I'm Kenz! I'm a 15 and soon-to-be 16-year-old. I've always known I was a lesbian since I was in late elementary through middle school. Throughout my life, a few people at my school(s) figured I was gay considering who I hung out with, how I dress (I dress more masc than most females), and how I carry myself as a person. Currently, I have a girlfriend and obviously, we try to be around each other as much as possible. There have been some speculations from people that I am dating a female, which is true. However, everytime someone askes, I feel hesitant to tell and just brush it off. I don't want to be ashamed of who I am, but I also get nervous when someone questions if I'm with a girl. My school is overall very LGBTQ inclusive but the students, mostly male students, aren't as supportive and will call people F slurs, etc. I'm just scared to tell people that I am a lesbian if they ask. My close friends know since I trust them. If anyone has advice, please let me know! Thank you! 💗
