This is coming from somebody who is straight - IF a male friend of mine came out to me, but never had hit on me or showed any sexual attraction to me then It would not change anything. If a male friend of mine was like "I'm gay and I want you" That would be different. If anybody asks tell them that yes you are gay - don't lie because that makes things uncomfortable. Every person that I know that is homosexual has admitted it, and I have only judged them by how that specific person acted to me, knowing that I have a girlfriend. In other words if you tell somebody and they seem into it, go ahead, if not just act like its an everyday conversation it is nothing new to know somebody is gay. And to be honest with you I'm guessing half of your friends have thought you were at one point or another in your life, so it wouldn't be anything new. More power to you if you have the courage to tell people the truth. no need to go up in front of a whole school - and the only time I ever asked if somebody was gay was when they were acting really weird to me, and I thought they were straight and they knew I was straight so generally that will not come up in conversation anyways. It is REALLY not that big of a deal, and you have nothing to worry about. If he posts pictures of you on the internet how hard would it be to bring the authorities into it? Blackmail is one charge, violating personal privacy by putting it on the internet, however many other charges that would be racked up once they searched his house is not to say. If he goes that far why the hell not? light his ass up with the legal system. You can get by without weed for a few days/weeks if you HAVE to. Chances are somebody addicted to pills can not.
