I'm in a tough situation with my sexuality..?

[Music Man]

I am 16, gay, and wanting to talk to people who are in the closet like me. i just want to talk to people and share opinions because it makes me upset that I have no one to talk to this with. This is a big part of my life and anyone else who has been in the closet understands that it is hard dealing with alone... I don't want to change at all and i don't want people to see it as a change when i come out. There is no need to label me. I am the same goofy, nice, easy-going, athletic, musical, party animal junior in high school. All of my best friends are straight guys and to the whole world I am straight. I don't want that persona to go away when i come out because i am comfortable like this. Sorry to ramble... its just nice getting this out sometimes. this has been getting me down, and i am not ready for losing friends and being judged. I know how people talk about the "gay guys" at school. Its awful, and knowing what some people say just makes me hide back in my shell even further. i know SOME people must have been in this same situation, right? thanks for listening. you dont even need to answer the question, i am just letting things out. This is long overdue. I feel like i need to tell SOMEONE but i don't have anyone to tell. ahh i need a breath of fresh air in my life right now....
