Hawthorne11 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I just found out a kid is running around telling people my ex-girlfriend and I kissed, which is true. But I don't want people to know I'm bi, unless I'm the one that tells them, because I don't know how they will react. I am super worried and I also don't want my ex to think I told the kid, because I didn't. I don't know how the kid found out, and I also don't want this to affect my ex because I know she doesn't want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumors suck I encourage clarity, so if you feel it would be right to confront the kid or your ex and try to get clear, then that could help. Otherwise hold yourself with confidence, they are just rumors after all, you are the one who gets to deem if they are anything other than measly whispers in the grass. But if they start giving you trouble, get help, I would like you to stay safe :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're absolutely right - it's completely up to you to decide if and when you want to come out and it's not for anyone else to make that decision for you. What do you think about @Equivalent Ways advise about speaking to the kid and your ex girlfriend? Do you think it would help if you told your ex that you didn't tell the kid? And how do you think the kid would react if you told them to stop talking about you? Do you mind me asking, how old the kid is and where you know them from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawthorne11 Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 I have spoken to the kid, and I think he has shut up about it, but I am really kind of nervous to talk to my ex. My brother texted her to make sure she was doing okay, and she said she was alright but didn't want to talk about it. So I don't know if I want to approach her because if she doesn't want to talk to my brother, she probably won't talk to me. But I might be able to email her. It would probably be a good thing if I did tell her I did not tell the kid. They are a sophmore, so about 2 years older than me. I just know them from school, my older brother has a crush on him.

I didn't realise that the kid is older than you. Kudos to you, for talking to the kid! I know if can be difficult, especially if someone is older but it sounds like they got it and are now going to shut up about it. I totally get why you feel nervous talking to your ex. I think your idea of emailing them is a really good idea. Then you can think about what you want to say beforehand and at the same time you've respected her wish of not wanting to talk about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawthorne11 Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 Yeah, I haven't heard anything about it, so I think he got the message. I emailed my ex and it's all good now, the kid didn't give her a bad time about it, which I am super relieved about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
