I admit that all the txt and net speak immediately gave me a biased impression; it's the snobby English major in me since it only takes a few more letters to write entire words. That said, I'm not sure about coming out in high school. I sort of came out to my friends in my last year, but I still see these friends regularly enough. However, if I'd come out before I finished school, I'm not sure it would have been a good thing, since homophobic remarks and jokes were quite common on a weekly basis at school.

And don't ever think that you're a terrible person because you're not and could never be. ♥
