Ok I fully came out of the closet to my family my dad and stepmom are cool with it but my mom says Im just to young to know what I am I mean come on Im 16 Ive went through boyfriends tried kissing them hated it tried dating girls kissed them and I loved every minute of it I dont like guys in a sexual manner I tried to tell my mom but she just says Im to young so I stopped talking about it but even some of my so called friends dont like it I just dont know what to do.
*Raises eyebrows* You sound really hyper, you know that?
As for advice: Honestly, I can't give you the advice you probably want. There's not really a step-by-step guide on how to get your family to accept your situation; if there was, I would have come out to my parents by now.
What I can do is offer you some tips.
First, about your mother. The first thing you need to realize is your mother has a point.
Wait, don't start flaming me yet; finish listening first, please.
Many teenagers do go through phases where they think that they are gay, or transgendered, or somehow inside the wrong body or otherwise different from the social norm. Now, reading the above post, I would say that this doesn't apply to you. However, your mother has no way of verifying this. As far as she knows, you are simply confused.
You shouldn't avoid the topic aroud your mother. Talk about the crushes you have on girls, casually mention that you kissed a girl last Tuesday. However, do not rub her face in it. Don't start going on about how you want Laura's body so bad. Just mention it as if it were a fact of life, like the fact that you like the colour purple.
As for your friends? The same advice applies. Don't rub their faces in it. If your friends start talking about the boys they like, then feel free to mention that you like Amanda; however, don't openly ogle Jessica during English.

Marriage is a little hasty for someone you just started dating, isn't it?

You're not the only one to lose track of time Nik (may I call you that?) :) It is good to hear that you and your girlfriend are doing good, but if I may ask; how long have you been together? It may still be too early for proposal and marriage, but I do not know the details, do I? :)
she makes me so happy Im glad I found her -//.//- my only problem is that I really wanna go farther with her other than kissing but if we did and someone found out shed go to jail T.T

Three hours is short compared to most of my tvtropes fixations... lucky.
And um, I'm definitely harmless. Mostly. Kinda. Depends on if you want to be harmed, really~

dont worry some confusion is healthy =D .. i was saying: yes we did sort of turned it into a general chat, but that happens to most topics here after a while.... i should add that if you feel the need to continue on the original topic you can just do so and we will most likely respond on topic again =)

okie dokie anyways my dad said its fine he doesnt care if Im a lesbian he tried to hook me up with different girls but its embarrassing to have your dad help I told him I have a gf and he wants to meet her oh boy
Well you're lucky with such a supportive father, Nik. The waiting is still a good thing though , does show how much she cares, and it DOES make it more special :)
...okay, I'm just confusing myself again, so I'll cut the post short^^

i doubt age is related to nerves =/ ... well maybe there is a point where you realize it all doesnt matter, but youll have to turn 60 for that or something. might be different for everyone though.....

Well you both really wan to be together, right? Then one day or another you would have to let the parents meet your special one and if your father is as supportive as you say, then I'm sure he wouldn't cause anything bad to happen in any way. Parents may seem scary, but mostly they just want what's good for you, and trust you to make good choises =)
Lmao I forgot about you guys Im sorry!!!! no not yet shes actually gettin ready to move here @.@ oh man this is gona be fun cause I wanna move in with her too and all
