I've been trying to hide these feelings since I was in my junior secondary school. I'm a senior now and my feelings still haven't "gone away" like I had hoped. People had always told me that you can't really love the opposite sex; they tell me you're either disclose you're gay. But when I discussed it with my dad he normally tells me that their culture permits that the only son of a family is entitled to have children, so not to disgrace the entire family. But am scared because if I come out now I feel like it's too late and my close friends and family will be offended that I never said anything about me been gay. Also it's a huge "blow" at my school to say you’re gay, because I know what it looks like to everybody in school. I don't want to be thought of any differently. I've done things with males and females and I've fallen hard for both guys and girls before so I know where I stand but disclosing to them about who I really am is getting me worked up because I don’t know how they may feel about me. I just need some advice. I'm so lost and confused.

 It’s never too late to come out. You should do so when it feels right to you- when you don’t want to keep it a secret anymore. Not everyone may be happy about it, but think of your own happiness. Would you be happier if you came out? If you didn’t have to hide or lie about the way you feel? You have nothing to be ashamed of. There’s nothing wrong with being gay, and if anyone tells you there is, they’re lying to you because they don’t understand. Don’t let fear guide you.
