So Ive been gay for 7 years now and im sick of hiding it. Its taking alot of strain on my mental health and overall life. My parents are supportive but all my friends and classmates are homophobic. There Are only 3 who arent and I just dont know how to approach this

Being free of the burden of hiding it can be liberating.
But doing so will bring other challenges and heartache.
Ultimately it's up to you to weigh the risks and costs.
Knowing that classmates are going to likely mess with you etc.
We live in a world where not everyone is accepting of others differences sadly.
It might help you greatly to come out. But like I said you have to weigh risks.
Especially if it could be dangerous to do so where you live sadly, though I hate I have to say that.
It's great that your parents are supportive though, that's a big plus.
Also coming out might help you find others, or encourage others to come out.
But ultimately to beat a dead horse, you have to weigh things out.
