How do I tell people I'm gay?

Dear Dave, Hello. My name is Ryan and I'm a 16 year old, gay male. I have a major dillema in
my life at this point in time. To start off, many people in my school do not know that I am gay.
I have told some friends, I do believe it's about ten of them or so. However, I want
everyone to know that I am gay! I'm very proud of who I am; but I don't exactley want my
teachers to look upon me in a different way, nor do I want my parents to find out this
information. Also, a lot of people in my school could just guess that I'm gay just because of
most stereotypes about gay people. Some guess that I am, some would deny it, and others
know because I have confirmed it! I'm not sure what I should do, and I'm looking for some
insite from somebody who knows what he's talking about. Love and Energy, Ryan C
