I can't come out cuz if I do I'm probably going to have to move. I'm in foster care so if I say I'm into girls I'll have to move to my brother's room and I can't do that. I can't stand him and we don't get along. I would have to move to a different foster home cuz I won't have a room of my own and have to sleep in the boys room. I already have enough issues I don't need that too. I think I have to wait till I'm 18 to come out and admit to the world that I'm a lesbian.

I am sorry you are going through a rough time right now. Is there any adult in the current living situation you can talk to and perhaps who might be willing to listen and help you during this time?
It's great that you are comfortable with your sexual orientation that's a great thing. I came out late in life and I think it's a huge step when people realize who they are and are comfortable in that skin and are not afraid of showing it.
I hope you living situation gets sorted out. Fingers crossed!!

It's complicated. I'm in a foster home and if I tell them then I'll have to move and I don't want to. I'm in a good home and I like my foster parents. I'm rooming with a girl and there's one boy in another room. I don't get a long with boys cuz of my history so that's not going to work.
