so it didn't go terribly. I was crying so badly that I couldn't talk. My parents were accepting of it which was good but was kinda awkward. When I think of them seeing me as a boy I feel terrible. When I think of everyone else I feel pretty happy. I know I'm a boy but I'm a very girly boy. Idk if that makes sense…

Step one is always the hardest. Your parents love you as the person you are. Best wishes.

The fact that your parents accepted should be of some comfort. Remember this is the first conversation you have had with them. Give them time to process this, too. Sometimes we're so wrapped up in our own situations we forget that others have feelings and emotions and need time to deal with things---especially when they're not the ones experiencing it first hand. They're bystanders, even though it affects their lives as much as yours.

You took the first step. Breathe. . . let the emotions flow through your tears. Then do something that makes you happy for a bit---something distracting.
