So I(17yro demigirl) just recently, within the past couple of months, changed my name and pronouns when I realized I am a Demigirl. I have come out to my friends and a teacher at school but not my parents. 

I am also bisexual which my parents know. I officially came out as bi to them this past Christmas but they knew before that I was gay because I have had two girlfriends in the past.

When I realized I was a demigirl I knew right away that I was going to change my pronouns to She/They from She/Her. I also knew I wanted to change my name but it took me a few days to figure out what I wanted to change it to. So far all of my friends have supported me and my teacher. 

My parents however do not support non-cis people but they all said they’ll support me no matter what. My mother is a teacher and works with a nonbinary teacher who uses either she/they or they/them I am not 100% sure. There was one day my mom came home and started to complain about this teacher and how “it” wasn’t a good person and that “it” was a “he-woman”

I was sitting at the table with my parents while they were talking about this and they know damn well that I have a lot of non-cis friends. They were saying some other super rude things about his nonbinary teacher purely because they are nonbinary. 

So I know that my parents only support half of me but I feel trapped in my own body because I can’t tell them. I turn 18 in a couple of months so hopefully if I don’t tell them now I can tell them then and I can have a safe spot for me to stay set up if it’s needed. But I don’t know what to do right now and it’s driving me insane. It’s also not the fact that they use she pronouns for me because it’s one of the pronouns I use, it’s the fact that I can’t tell them and I know if I do they won’t use the name that I feel fits me. 

I’ve always gone by a nickname but they always have called me my legal name. Now it feels like neither of those names fit me and I only want to use the name I chose because I feel like it fits me better. 

If anyone has any advice on what to do it would be greatly appreciated. I posted a similar post in another sub but I feel like it might go better here. 

So I (17 demigirl) am a Junior in high school and the school year is almost done. In English we sit in groups of 4. My group is me, Ali, Daisy, and Hope. These are all fake names obviously. Right now we are in our Great Gatsby unit. I have read the book multiple times and the others are reading it for the first time. 

We are supposed to get quotes from the book for 4 different topics that we picked from a list provided by our teacher. Me and Ali have the same topics and Hope and Daisy have the same as us but one topic this is different than ours. 

So for context Ali and I were best friends when we were younger, had a falling out, but we are really close again and Daisy and Ali are also really close. Hope is just kinda there and we are not the biggest fan of her. 

So Ali has helped Daisy and I on a lot of things this semester and now with The Great Gatsby, which I have been hyper fixated on recently, I have been helping her and the others with the quotes. Out of the 4 of us Ali and I are the only ones actually reading the book. Daisy and Hope are only using our quotes.

Daisy does however also bring out her book and opens it so she looks like she is doing something. Hope does not. She sits at her desk asking me for my quotes and I’m kinda over it. We are almost done with the ready part of the unit and she hasn’t even read chapter 1. 

Daisy and Ali are also annoyed at this because Hope gets really upset when I don’t have quotes for her. Like yesterday she asked me 5 times for my quotes( which are on notecards) but I told her the first time I had none done and the only one I worked on, which she saw me working on was the one she didn’t have because it was the first quote I found. 

She constantly is asking for our work and not doing anything on her own. At first I let her see my quotes because I thought it was gonna be like a one time thing but it was not. 

So would I be an asshole for telling her she can’t use my quotes anymore?vu

I am a 17 Bisexual Demigirl and I am half closeted to my parents. I recently started going by a different name and I haven’t told my parents yet. My parents know that I am bisexual and have had 2 gfs and they support all the different sexualities but not gender identity. 

I have told my friends and even some of my teachers about my name change and they have all supported me. I have also started she/they pronouns. 

My parents however do not support non-cis people but they all said they’ll support me no matter what. My mother is a teacher and works with a nonbinary teacher who uses either she/they or they/them I am not 100% sure. There was one day my mom came home and started to complain about this teacher and how “it” wasn’t a good person and that “it” was a “he-woman”
