if you're a bisexual?

well if you had to tell your parents jsut make sure there all in a good mood and tell them slowly.

but my belief is that you don't have to tell weather your straight or bisexual because its a sexuality, why should we have to go through the talk when straight people dont, if you want you can always email me and i can help you out more :)

Well firstly I'd say only tell your parents if you WANT to tell them. Your sexuality is your business, not theirs, but if you're feeling upset or frustrated at the fact they dont understand you then just tell them. 'Coming out' is a weird concept and really shouldnt have to happen, even though I did come out as gay myself, however if you think it'll make you feel happier then just say "listen, im bisexual, im being serious, and no im not confused or waiting to come out as a lesbian". I'd always say you should be true to yourself, though if you think you're parents will react extremely badly and put you in a bad situation then maybe hold back on telling them, especially if you feel like you dont really want to tell them anyway.

if you thing your parents wont at all be accepting i would wait until you move out or something. im not trying to freak you out but i do have friends thats parents have disowned them and stuff for being gay/ bi/ lesbian. i have one friend that didnt have a place to go and ended up in a girls home.

most of the time that dosent happen, but i would be safe about it.

i am talking about my friends.- i personally did not come out to my parents- they found out on there own before i was ready to tell them. my parents were somewhat ok with it, though it took a while for them to warm up to it.

and just to let you know my parents (more like my dad) are extreme homophobes. my mom used to have a lesbian friend and when my dad found out she was he banned her from the house, we havnt seen her since.

and the movie broke back mountain was specifically banned from the house.

if you absolutely want your parents to know then tell them. make comments about girls while watching tv with them or something. eventually thell catch on and might ask you about it.- or they might be afraid to ask. once you think they have an idea and they havnt asked you yet then just come out to them. they wont be surprised as much because they aready suspected it.

Why would you feel it necessary to tell them? If you have to think about it or dance around the subject, then you are afraid or know the information would upset them.

If the news would upset them, then why would you tell them?

There are some things parents don't want to know.

jax answer = unhelpful

make lighthearted jokes about it, like when you're watching TV with them mention how hot you think some of the girls are.

if you do that sort of thing enough, they might get the picture... or they might ask if you like girls, in which case you could say "well, i like guys, but i'm open to it"

good luck :)

yeah, they dont need to know if you dont want them to..

otherwise, yeah, light hearted joke :)

none of their business. don't tell unless you can't avoid it
