Coming out tips?

so i have a few friends who want to come out but they dont know what peoples reaction would be and how to do it so i figured they are not the only ones with this problem so im putting up a few tips that i heard from others and that i made up based on my coming out experience:


1) Be patient - many people have the urge that u got to come out and it will eat u up if you dont. If you are not ready and you dont have a clue on what reaction you might get from the people you are coming out to then its best you keep it in and just take note on what the peoples point of view is and how they view homosexuality 
2) if you have homophobic parents and are under the age of 18 or if you are financially unable to support yourself, the worst think you could do is come out to them. I know a kid who came out to his parents at age 14 and his parents had a very negative response to it. They made his life miserable, sending him to corrective camps which from what i have heard their methods are torturous on the human body and mind alike - they show you homosexual porn and if you get the slightest bit excited they give you painful shocks and do that everytime you like what you see so it does not make you straight but everytime you would get excited from looking or thinking of the same sex you would have that memory of that shock and the pain which really puts people down into themselves. Many go into depression and some even commit suicide after going to camps like these so yeah coming out to homophobic parents at young age isnt always the best thing to do
3) If you are not ready for the world to know but you have that one person or two people that u really want to know... just make sure that you can trust them and that they wont tell anyone because if 5 r more people know then within the next month or two you would most likely be completely outed and being outed by someone when your not ready yet really takes a toll on a persons spirit 


Yeah so those were my 3 tips on coming out and i hope they would prove useful to many of my viewers who are still in the closet
