Im slightly worried- Help (please)

Well everyone in my year knows that i am bisexual. I am happy with this and no one has really given me much stick (apart from someone stating i watch them in the changing rooms, which i dont, and then someone else saying I fancy this girl). however, we are having religious ed lessons on sexuality next week and Im not sure what im going to do if someone aims a joke my way.

I am comfortable with who i am as a bisexual, and i dont care what other people say about it. However, none of my teachers know (for obvious reasons) and im worried what will happen if they find out.

Sooo- am I taking this over the top and shudnt be worried about it

Or shud i be worried- if so tell me wat i cud do

thankooo for reading *hugs*

Quite a few teachers at my school do. If there are any, I'd talk with them before any problems occur. If not, you might want to talk to a teacher or administrator that is most likely to be understanding (or you might not... I don't like giving advice). I hope it all goes well!; ▶ Reply to This

I'm not saying you need to come out to all of your teachers but if it happens to come up what's the harm in them knowing?; ▶ Reply to This

If he's not and it does create issues go to your VP; ▶ Reply to This

Take a breath, walk in confident (even if you're not), and let everyone know that their opinions don't matter, because they really don't. As long as you love you others really can't hurt you. I think you will be fine. Just don't let them know your fear.

I know it's late...I have been off for a while do to the fact that I am swamped with college stuff. How did everything go?; ▶ Reply to This
