It is worth it. Besides, you do not HAVE to come out. Depending on how old you are, where you live, what type of parents you have, ect... you might want to keep it secret. But that does not mean you cannot be in a relationship with her. She might have a hard time understanding it if she is out, a lot of out lesbians/bisexuals do, but just be patient with her and explain to her exactally how you feel. It might make it more difficult if you hide your relationship, but if you love her, it won't matter. It will work out. You might want to seriously think about comming out though. The people who have truely loved you all along will still love you. Don't worry about people at school. Honestly, when I came out I was shocked at how much random people just truely don't care. And I live in the bible belt. Your friends will support you, depending on how your parents are, thry might have a more difficult time, but in the end they will support you. If someone has a problem with it though, try to explain- if they still have a problem, cut them off, you don't need people like that bringing you down (unless its your parents, I'm not saying move out if they don't accept it or anything, but hey, after school once your in college and/or move out- what are they going to do?) And just remember, you will always have your friend you want to go into a relationship with. If you love each other, it will work out, and either you are going through the same situation, or she has gone through it before you and will know how your feeling. And also remember, no matter what people say, you are who you are and you cannot change. It is not evil or wrong. Good luck!
