I am not ready to tell people I know yet, but I just needed to get some of those things off my chest. I'm sure a lot of you realise how difficult things like this can be, and I just couldn't go on keeping everything to myself anymore.
Next, I want to assure you that this is not just a 'phase'. I have truly been feeling these things for a while now. And by a while I mean a long period of time. I just haven't had the courage to say anything up until now. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that I am gay. I am merely accepting the fact that I am almost equally attracted to both sexes.
I have received a lot of comforting messages from all of you and I want to thank you all so very much for wanting to be there for me. This is such a difficult thing to do and it is so refreshing to know there are people who will accept and help me for my decision rather than bully me for it, as was the case for many years of my school life, and part of the reason I have not felt comfortable with telling people this for a long time.
I would like to request that anyone who has added me on Facebook keeps this strictly away from my profile. I am just not ready for people to know about it yet, and if I ever decide to admit this in real life, I want to tell them on my own terms, rather than have them find out from an internet friend of mine that they don't know.
I guess this got a little bit long-winded, but I just want to thank everyone here again and say that I never anticipated meeting such an amazing group of people when I first signed up to ATRL. I expected it to be all Gaga/chart stats, which would still be brilliant. But I honestly feel like I have met people with whom I am comfortable sharing this information. Thank you, Darren.

Darren bro.. You know I'll always be here for you when you need to talk and such
And I'm proud of you actually.. That takes alot of courage, even if we are with a group of gays and straights, and its an online crowd, its hard to do that.. And don't worry, you know I'll keep things quiet for you
.. I must say tho that alot of us, even if we're straight, are attracted to at least one guy.. I mean even I am (to the rest of you, no I'm not Bi or Gay, just putting it out that even tho I'm straight, that I still like one guy, but he's famous, so yeah, haha.. And lets keep that one between us because I really don't need my friends or anybody else finding out that as I get bullied enough as I have..) .. But still I'm proud of you Darren
