hey just got some time to write you back… Thank you very much fo your kind words…they are needed. My parents religous belifs are extreme and will make it very difficult to tell them.. I , unlike most teens, know that a persons IQ and intelligance do NOT peak at the ages of 15 & 16 so I really would like to share my sexuality with them and get their advice but I have homosexual friends (both gay and lesbian) and they treat them like they have the pleage.. I have a really close relationship with my mom and my dad so it makes it hard to keep it from them. A home is the place were a teen is supossed to relax and feel safe, a place of refuge. I currently have no place of refuge so I feel that I always have to be on my toes… I am currently 15 1/2 and I plan on telling my parents when I am about 16 or so.. I think I will know more about myself and how to present it to them.. (And i will be of driving age ) Thanks again- Tyler
