How to accept being transgender?

I'm a 14 year old girl... but i've always felt like i am a guy. I want to be tough and manly and wear boys clothes... but I don't want to loose the friends and family that I have. How can i accept that I am transgender? It makes me want to cry thinking about it.

Accept the fact that you're human. That's all there is to it. Do you worry about having two ears? No. So what's the difference?
You are who you are, you can't change that. Be Proud. <3
Um, no. You're a 'tomboy'. I've known plenty of girls who were 'just one of the guys' til they suddenly decided they weren't. Sorry but til you go under the knife or start taking hormone injections, you're basically just another kid who's going thru your average, ordinary adolescence.
Nowadays ANY girls can get away with wearing a boy's clothes. Even a suit and tie don't look strange on a girl. EVERY girl wears pants and a T. Wear what you want. Do you want to just cross-dress, or do you want the surgery?
girls can stay strong and rough. does'nt mean u need a sex change to prove it to yr self. love and respect yr body.
Wait a few more years, make sure transitioning is something you reaaaally want to do and if so, losing some friends and family will just come with the territory but it won't matter cos you'll finally be happy with yourself.
You may or may not be transgender. Wait a few years before you decide to transition.Go onto youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/sillyyetsuccinct he is an ftm too.His vlogs on being transgender are very good. There are also other transgender people on youtube who give accounts on their journey of transition to the opposite sex. Go to your local lgbt group and meet people who are similar to you.They can also refer you to trans meeting groups in your area. The groups are private and confidential so you wont be outed if that is what you are worried about. I went to one when I was 15. They can share their experiences of being transgendered and how to eventually accept it.
You have to accept who you are. If you feel that way then maybe you are a lesbian. Ask yourself if you enjoy looking at women and fantasize about them? Dont be ashamed of who you are and confront the people who are close to you. If keeping it in makes you want to cry then tell someone.
i'm 13 year old FTM going on 14 on friday and i've been out since January of 2010. to me, it would be saddening if i lost any good friends and close family members but then i said to myself if they really love/care about me, then they deserve to be in my life. if they reject me, they don't deserve to be in my life plus that would be having to put up with someone or a group of people who bring on negativity to me. i suggest coming out to a friend or two that you think will be there for you and also a family member because not all of them are going to reject you. there's always at least one person that'll be there for you through thick and thin. also, you should really think this through and look up information on transgender people (it's what i did) then when coming out you should make it short and simple like "i never felt like a girl and i never wanted to be one" or "i've been questioning/having questions on gender/my gender identity so i'd like to see a gender therapist" or something along those lines. there's NOTHING WRONG with being trans, it makes up who you are on the inside. you should also see a gender therapist and they'll tell you if you are transgendered.
You have to accept you for what you are, which in this case is a transgender boy. You won't be happy until you do there is no point in being miserable for everyone else. It just gets worse until you decide to do something about it. If you lose your friends, then they were never your friends to begin with, as for family, if they love you, then they will accept you (though it may take a while) My advice: Man up and transition as soon as possible
I'm like you. I used to act manly and wear got clothes... Now I just wear whatever I'm feeling. No one will hate you for being a tomboy. I respect it.
