I'm Bi n i dunno how 2 tell my parents n my bro n sis wot do i do?

I don't understand your need to tell them anything..do they discuss their sex lives with you? IF so, then discuss yours with them..if not, leave it alone. You are just you, and your family does not necessarily view you as a sexual being...and that is just fine. There may come a day when it is necessary, but I see no reason to bring it up now. Do you have an issue with it? IF so, you are probably better off discussing with another bi, not your family. Just an observance. Goldwing

Firstly, you need to understand that coming out as bisexual is different to coming out as homosexual. This is because bisexuality is misunderstood by many.

Be prepared for the following answers:

"Does that mean you're gay?"

"You can't have both, you need to make your mind up which one you like,"

"If you like the opposite sex then why on earth would you want a same sex partner?"

"You're just going through a phase. Find a good opposite sex partner and they'll straighten you out,"

"You're just confused at the moment,"

With regards to telling them, you just have to get straight to the point. They may have suspected something, especially if you're older.

If you're nervous about telling them then tell other supportive people first. Contact your local LGBT group. The more people who support you, the better you'll feel - and this will make it easier to come out to the difficult ones when you know you've got a lot of support behind you.

just dont do what i did, broke done in front of my mum and blurted it out on mother's day! argh, what a present that was 4 her, i told her literally by showing her a photo of me kissing a girl, i couldnt actually bring the words out of my mouth as much as i tried, she didn't take it very well for the first few months but after that she has come around 2 the idea, that im still the same person, it hasn't changed me, and im just happier now!,

just get it out of the way as early as possible, there is never the right time, they love u , and u havent changed it will be fine, tell your parents i think first , they will be upset ifthere last to know,

good luck anyways, hun, every need 2 chat mail me xxx

Seems from your present three questions that you're going through a crisis related to your sexuality. So you're BI.....so what? Celebrate it. Dont keep appearing to apologise for it! And yes, it is your own business! if you're worried that someone will 'find out' then forget that too! Of course you cant keep it a secret forever but there's absolutely no need to bring about the situation which might damage all kinds of sets of relationships - least of all yours! Is your sister BI? How do you know?

I know what you mean. I really wanted to tell my sister that I'm bi, but I wanted it to come up naturally, you know? And even though my whole family is super-liberal and all, I still was nervous as to how exactly she'd react.

Anywho, I just brought it up by talking about a girl I liked. Her only comment, really, was that she wanted me to have children/at least adopt so that she could have nieces/nephews. Haha. But I felt a lot better once it came out.

I still haven't officially come out to my parents as bisexual yet, but I don't really feel the need to until I date a girl. Otherwise, I find it irrelevant: love is love. I just wanted to let my sister know because we are really close & I tell her everything.

Good luck!

First off you should ask yourself why you want to tell your family. Think of it this way, they don't tell you their sexual preferences, so why tell them yours.

Secondly, if you want to tell them, sit each one down separatly and in private. This way they wont feel awkward in front of others. If they have questions for you, be honest in answering them.

I went thru this excact same thing and did what I suggested above. They all accept me for who I am and still love me no matter what.

I wish you the best.

break it down to them easy, explain why you feel this way to them. make sure you tell them not to judge you about this personal decison.

I'd speak to the one you feel most able to talk to first, see how they take it, and then speak to the other.

There your family they will love you no matter what, just tell them.

practice by telling somebody who is open minded who you know first
