ncblondie answered Wednesday November 23 2005, 12:51 pm: I would tell your parents that you need to sit down with them to talk about something serious. Then, I would calmly tell them. Be prepared. They may ask questions or have a reaction different from what you're expecting. For support for both you and your family, I would suggest visiting the PFLAG website. There is a special section on coming out. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) [ ncblondie's advice column | Ask ncblondie A Question ]

ThugGirl041790 answered Tuesday November 22 2005, 11:50 pm: Well hey telling your parents this i know will be hard.. But if your completely sure that you are then telling them is something to do.. Well just basically tell them together.. Or maybe tell the parent your closest too and get them to tell the other parent.. *Just be like i know you guys probably arent going to completely approve of this but i like girls and guys.. So i`m bisexual i hope you will treat me the same and always love me.. I didn`t make this choice this is just who i am and i can`t help it..* Best of luck if you need anymore advice i`d be happy to help.. ♥ Dez [ ThugGirl041790's advice column | Ask ThugGirl041790 A Question ]

GDROB2 answered Tuesday November 22 2005, 11:43 pm: There is no right or wrong way to do this. There is no text book or rules written about it. Everyone reacts to the news differently and or deals with doing this differently as it is awful hard to do.
One way people have used that seems to have better results is getting a book or information about the subject. Leave it where they are bound to find it with a Post It Note that says "I have been meaning to tell you something difficult." Let them deal with their own way and come to you for discussion.
There is no way of doing this but the truth. Either you do it subtlely like above or write a long winded note to them or just talk to them and get it out. Either way it has to come out.
You could also take them to a PFLAG or Youth Meeting for parents of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and deal with it that way or have an adult with you when you tell them alone. There is no one way to do something so difficult but once you have the weight is off--the secret is out.
Understand they may react in a lot of ways and be upset. Most children are not threatened verbally etc or thrown out of their homes. It can happen but it sounds like you have great parents where it will not occur--but you feel like you are letting down by telling a secret.
They be mad, sad as hell or yell etc as they feel it was their fault. Over time it can/will die down as they and you adjust. If you want an ear to listen to you further send me a note. While not gay/bisexual I do know from seeing first hand how hard this was for friends to do and what they did to get it out in the open with family/friends.
