Congrats on coming out Joseph, I'm always here for you if you need me and I support you at 100%. You're an amazing person and friend and this won't change how I see you, you're still the Joseph I knew before and you're still an amazing friend to be around with. You're really brave to post this to an entire community and I'm really proud of you :)
Joseph, you've been there since the start with me. you've helped me and made me so happy to the point where i will never ever look at you different. youre so amazing. i could never ask for a better friend.
Joseph, we haven't talked in a while, but you're a great friend and such a good person. Don't let the fact that you're bisexual make you feel insecure. You'll always be the same to us.
Joseph, we've had this talk before and you are still the same Joseph I adore and love. You shouldn't feel like shit for not sharing this information with your family and friends. I'm pretty sure we all had secrets we didn't want anyone to know, and this is that situation for you Joseph. Don't feel low and don't let other people categorize you. If people do categorize you and you are uncomfortable with it, confront them and tell them that you don't like it. Joseph, I'm here for you if you ever need to talk. You've been there for me so many times so I'll be glad to return the favor. <3
Discussions about this topic shouldn't be taken as a joke. They should however, be taken very seriously. And, in my opinion the correct way to tell his mother is word for word, or else it wouldn't be taken seriously.
I know some people hate hearing this, but honestly it does get better with time. This is just one very small portion of your life so please don't get any wrong ideas. My advice would be to have a good cry. Just cry for hours. It helps so much, just let everything out. Next, try to distract yourself as much as possible from the things that are making you said/anxious. Watch some funny videos on youtube, go on tumblr and look at pictures you love. Try going outside for a walk. Walking is definitely a big distraction - something about the fresh air is so nice. Put earphones in if you like, or just admire the sounds around you. This will clear your mind and help relax yourself. When your mind is cleared and you are relaxed, try to work on the things that aren't so good in your life. Think about how you can overcome those things, and how much better it will be when you do. Also, try to focus on the good things in your life rather than the bad. Think about how lucky you are to have an education, have a roof over your head, and a mother who cares for you. I love my dogs, so I give them lots of cuddles, which makes me much happier. Also, don't worry about your sexuality too much or coming out to anyone when you aren't ready. First you need to be able to accept it yourself before anyone else can. There are many videos on youtube about that kind of stuff because the LGBT+ community is becoming more and more accepted every day. Just remember that there are many people who don't come out until they're in their late twenties; don't feel rushed. This was really long, and I really hope it helped, even a tiny weenie bit aha. I'm always up for a chat if you need someone to genuinely talk to. Best wishes, Sam c:

I really appreciate you're bravery in this coming out story, it really touches me.I offer my compassion to you. You are an important person to me, and many others. You are an inspiration to me and the community. We love you Joseph, stay strong <3 "God does not play dice with the universe.” – A. Einstein
Its a part of life. Its a lesson to all of us even its a horrible experience. These events really hurt, I felt some of them before. Instead of making it a problem, I made it as an inspiration and as a part of me. Sexuality isn't a part of a problem in your daily life. Even you're bi, your attitude won't change because you're a good person. Its not a great option just to change your good attitude to an attitude that is related to this generation. Good personalities are not worth losing in our dignity. People keeps teasing you because you get easily teased ( idk your personality that much ;-;) or they get happy about doing it. Ignoring them is a great option or say something funny that it will make it stop. The problems are these trends changes people. They follow those trends making it as an attitude. Just be yourself, think first before doing decision, and trust your guts. Trust yourself mate and relax quite a bit.
I've never met/talked to you, but by reading this, I can tell you're pretty cool. *Puts shades on and gives him a pair*
I have a lot of anxiety also, A LOT for my age. I know how it feels, to just walk around knowing that there's always just another problem. If you can in the day, just take 5 minutes to just sit and relax. During a really boring lecture or something lol, just sit, and think about the next good thing that is going to happen to you. Remember that good thing, and work towards that good thing as you just get through the bad things. There's always hope on Pandora's box, you just need to find it. Find the bottom of your Pandora's box, and enjoy it.
