So I'm 14 years old, I'm a girl, and I'm bisexual. I have not come out to anyone yet. It's just really hard not being able to talk to anyone about how I feel and I can't ever express myself. I want to come out, but I'm too scared.
Both my parents are not very close to me, and my dad is extremley homophobic. I'm just scared because, What if somehow they find out I'm bisexual? I have three sisters, and they have read my diary many times before. I have never written about being bisexual or liking a girl because I'm afraid they will read it and tell my parents.

If my dad does find out, I think at the least he will kick me out and make me live somewhere else. He would probably send me to a straight camp. I am absolutley terrified of them. They use things like shock treatments and isolation to "turn you straight"

So what I'm saying is, I want to come out but I'm too scared to and I'm afraid I will be sent to a straight camp.
What should I do?
 
I've never heard of a "straight camp". That's probably something a homophobic told you to scare the crap out of you- and obviously it worked. Your only 14- wait a couple years and see where you stand on it. Right now your in the middle of childhood and adulthood and hormones are making it difficult to figure out who you are.
If you are indeed bi then don't spend your whole life apologizing for who you are. You were born this way and being "gay or bi" isn't something you CHOSE to be.
Be proud of who you are. If people can't accept you and love you for who you are then you don't need them anyway.
 
hun, wait until you are ready
its sounds like you're not
just tell friends, or people you can trust
so many young people who are gay or bi are afraid of being kicked out
or tested on, or put into therapy
some parents do that, but thats why you should wait until you are ready
besides ur 14yrs old..too young to be dating
which means you'll be sneaking behind ur parents' backs anyway
so why do they need to know now
when u are comfortable and confident enough in your own skin, then tell them
when you are ready, u'll be able to go up to ur parents and say "i'm a bisexual and i don't care what you think"
stand up for yourself
:)
