How can I break it to my parents that I'm bisexual?

Question

I've been bisexual for two years now, and I haven't felt comfortable being out with other girls since my parents don't know yet.

Answer 1

Yes it depends on your age. And in my opinion, people go through these 'phases' which seem to disappear after a while - and with some people, it sorta sticks with them (like me).



And when you lay something like this on some parents, they'll want to ship you off to the psychiatrist or downright disown you... so it's just safest to be quiet about it for now. Wait until you have options - like you can move out first, if you HAVE to tell them.



So my advice, to sum all this up, is to wait. They don't really have to know unless you decide later that you would rather be with women instead.

Answer 2

I just turned sixteen and told my mom about six months ago that i was bisexual. It was the hardest thing that I've ever done, trust me no parent wants their child to be gay or bisexual, but your mom and dad love you and no matter what they will always love you. I think that you should do whatever your comfortable with. You'll know when your ready to tell people. Just make sure that this is what you want.

Answer 3

Make a plan to do it and stick to it. Then you're doing it on your own time.

Also realize that people dealing with that news will go through the same motions as someone who's gone through a death. The signs of loss. But hopefully everything will be good.

Good luck, and always be proud of who you are, no matter what.

Answer 4

Here's the thing...depending on your age, you probably don't want to tell them unless you do not live in their home. If you go out with other girls, why do they really need to know what you are doing? That's your private time. You are entitled to it.

Answer 5

You will know when it's right. Just do not tell them at Thankgiving dinner. A good example of what not to say is:



"Mom and Dad, I am bi-sexual, could you pass the stuffing?"



:)

Answer 6

I never told my parents, they found out there-selves. Not saying that is the best way, but I'm not good at confronting people. But I did learn, do what makes you happy

Answer 7

I wish it were easy(I"m bisexual) pray about it God will give you peace and you will be able to tell them

Answer 8

Why do they need to know? Do you want them to tell you what goes on in their bed? Being POLITE doesn't equal being closeted.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

It will kill them.You need to be saved from your sins.God is against this act.
