I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I don't know what your school as a whole is like but there are school counselors there who must keep what you tell them in confidence. I would suggest you consider that as your first point of contact. If they can't help you directly they can help you find resources to help you to understand and talk about what you are going through. Good luck baby.
Don't think that cause your school "appears" anti-gay, that it really is...it might be the most gay friendly school ever!

I think that your intentions are good and that you're sick of hiding who you are, but don't rush anything.
Suggestions:
Start with maybe some hypotheticalls for family and friends, see how they would react. This is sometimes good but by all means not accurate.
Try to see what their true positions are, talk to them, and make sure you know them 100% if they love you they will support you, especially family.
Resolve:
Once you've picked your time to come out, if you do or don't is fine, then its time to tell your dad. The best way would probably be to get him alone and talk to him like a man, most fathers respect that, even if you are gay. And if you don't think this will work wait to you get older, if you're really gay it's not going to go away. Heh
hope I helped.
It may not sound like it but in the end its worth it. And no its not false hope if you come out some others will too. Good luck :]
