I haven't told any of my friends that I have CF yet. I am 14 years old. Only my Best friend knows, but no one at my school. I'm afraid that they might make fu of me or they might start rumors about me. Can you tell me your story about how you told your friends? Please?

To tell my friends I kind had to explain why I took my enzymes cuz that was when they noticed. So I'd explain that I had a messed up digestive system and had to take them.

I would usually explain one on one because its easier and then they can ask questions and you can answer rather than having a group of people freak out and stuff. Yeah I know that wasn't very helpful but its what I did.

I used to have IVs in my hand so I would have to explain why I had a bandage round my hand or arm or whatever, but only to my friends. To other people I just said I hurt my hand!!

Hope everything goes ok, if they're good friends, they'll understand and wont freak out or anything (except when you show them freaky scars! Which I don't mind doing and usually show them to freak them out any way, although this is after they know about my CF.)
