Coming Out

The best time to come out really depends on you.  Some people come out at a really early age, however not everyone can do that. 
It might be easier to come out to some friends first then they could support you.  You might also prefer to wait until you are financially independent if you feel your parents won't take it well.

If you are struggling there are alot of people who can help and there is alot of advice out there, I watched alot of video's on youtube about coming out and I found this to be a good help.

According to the Cass' Identity Model there are 6 stages to coming out:

1. Identity Confusion
    This stage begins with your first awareness of gay thoughts, feelings or attractions.  This stage often    includes denial.
2. Identity Comaprison
    In this stage you accept the possibility that you are gay.
3. Identity Tolerance
    In this stage you become more understanding that you are not the only one
4. Identity Acceptance
    This stage is where you realise that you will be ok.
5. Identity Pride
    This stage is where you begin to come out.
6. Identity Synthesis
    This last stage is where you integrate your sexual identiy with all other area's of yourself.
