i love girls but idk how to tell my parents!?

i would suggest you don't. That's the sort of thing that 99% of parents would FREAK OUT about

This is a tough decision to make and, ultimately, only you will know if and when you should tell your parents. But Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), an organization with chapters all over the United States, offers some tips.

PFLAG says many gay and lesbian teens that come out to their parents feel closer to them afterward because the relationship is more honest. They feel relieved not to be keeping so huge a secret anymore.

But, sometimes, parents aren't so understanding. They force their teens to leave home. Some get abusive. And some family relationships are never the same.

Before you come out to your parents, think about a few things.

- How do your parents react to gay people in general? Listen to what they say about lesbian, gay, and bisexual people and ask some indirect questions.

- Do they have any lesbian or gay friends?

- Do they read books or go to movies that include same-sex relationships?

- Does their religion accept lesbian and gay people?

- Have you heard them say negative things about lesbian and gay people?

And think about your relationship with your parents.

- Do they show love for you even when they're mad at you?

- Are they supportive of you, even when you do things they don't like?

Honestly answering these questions should help you gauge your parents' reaction to telling them you're gay. If you think they will take it so badly they might throw you out of the house, then don't tell them until you have a safe place to stay. You might even decide never to tell them because they won't understand. Trust your gut. It's normal to be scared to tell your parents, but if you're terrified, then hold off until you feel more comfortable.

They are your parents, and they love you just know that, but they deserve to know. There is no simple way to tell them so be open and talk from the heart. Tell them.. and i know there will be some hurt,and resentment from them but you can work though this. But a parents love is unconditional, that means whatever, whoever, and wherever you are they will still love you. Good Luck on come out!

Just tell them. Your parents should love you no matter what or who you love. I hope i'm taking this from the right angle..your a lesbien and your trying to tell your parents right? Okay, fromt that angle...I talked to my dad about this, not saying that my dad is yours, but i came to my dad with that. I am not a lesbien but i do this thing with my parents, where i pretend i am something I really am not, to see thier reactions. Its the only way i know for sure if they would really accept me for whatever I am. My dad said something like this " I can't say that i approve of what your choosing, but that doesnt mean i dont love you, you are my daughter, and whatever you chose to be. I will love you."

Your parents shouldn't shun you because of this, because this only effects a small part (though it means alot to you)

So just tell them. First off, they should be proud of you for opening up to them. And then, they should accept you. They should know how much their acceptance means to you.

Hope this helps

Tell your parents how you would tell yourself if you were in their shoes. Break it down and just tell them your feelings and tell them that their approval is why you told them. Let them know that acceptance is what you want not judging. Tell them what made you want to pursue girls instead of guys. It may play out a little better than you hoped it would. They may just accept it and treat it as if it's not a big thing. They will be shocked as any parent would be but as they have time to adjust to it they will understand and know love comes in many shades and beliefs. If my daughter was to tell me she likes girls.. to be honest I would be so shocked but I'd have to think about the fact that she's my daughter and I'd love her through whatever we go through or whatever she tells me. Just give them a little time after you tell them. Patience is KEY.... GOOD LUCK

I like girls too.

I am not sure how old you are nor how your parents feel about you being gay. If you are really scared and maybe afraid your parents will reject you, try contacting a local support group. Take your time - if you need time.

I understand how scary it is...

You might want to start a general conversation about gay people and see if you can bring your own feelings into the conversation.

How old are you? How do you know you are gay? Have you acted on any of these feelings? This might just be a phase you are going through? Maybe try talking to your Mom first, tell her you are confused and that you might be gay. See what her reaction is, be honest don't hold anything back and DON'T get mad if she gets upset. It's normal for parents to kind of freak out if they think their child is different, give her a little time to let it sink in and then talk to her again. Good luck sweetie, please let us know how things turn out.

yeah ill agreee with the doctor guy. I love girls too. But you know what you shoulld do? You should tell who evr u feel comfortable with the most. Maybe dad or mom. Then just beleive in yourself and think positive when talking with the other parent. One thing dont let them cacth u and finding it out by them selves if u really care about them.

I knew I liked girls for a long time but I did not tell my mother right away. I tried to date men, experimented a little bit with females, and eventually had a realtionship with a female before I told my mother. I wanted to make sure it wasn't "some type of phase" and I wanted to make sure it was something I really wanted and felt like I could handle in my life. When I found myself and told myself "this is who I am", I sat down and wrote my mother a letter explaining myself and my feelings. She read it and told me she suspected it anyways. It was hard for her at first, but now she accepts me for who I am. We are still as close as we were before she knew. If your parents love you, they will support you. They might not agree, but you have to get used to that happening. A lot of people in our society still snub gays and lesbians. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is don't expect everyone to agree with your lifestyle--just live your life and surround yourself with supportive people. There are a ton out there! LEXY G YOU JUST GOT YOURSELF REPORTED YOU BEETCH. GROW UP AND GET SOME EDUCATION BEFORE YOU START RUNNING YOUR MOUTH ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE WHO CANNOT HELP THE WAY THEY ARE. LOSER.

Let them know you have something you would like to talk to them about and just spill it. Just let them know it's not a choice you made, it's just how you feel. Prepare for them to be a bit shocked and maybe even disappointed, but I'm pretty sure they will get over it because they love you. I have several friends that have been thru this, and after the initial reaction, things were usually fine and they accepted their child's lifestyle. Good luck!!

If you can't bear to tell them face-to-face, email your mom and dad, or text them, or leave them a note. It will also be easier if you assure them that you want to be responsible and keep them posted on your everyday life. If they know that you care about what they think, they're more likely to be okay with that. Plus, if you want, you can go with out telling them. I read that an estimated 78% of people like that if they wait over a year to go out with someone of the same gender, then they might like people of the other gender again. It's a possiblity. Hope it helps.
