Coming out is vital to being who you are. However, if the environment is not accepting, the best thing to do is to seek out help you know will accept you (help sites, guidance counselors, etc.). It is not healthy to hold all the feelings inside, and we need an outlet when it comes to things like that. Journaling or blogging can make it a little easier. Repressing your sexuality/gender identity will only affect you more negatively.
