I know that it's sometimes hard to talk to your parents, not every parents are the "TV" parents everyone wants where they understand everything you say. Well here it goes. You can start off by going to BOTH of your parents and have them sit somewhere nice and quiet in the house. 2- Talk about how you feel and if there are a little problems go immediately to step 3. 3- Tell them.
If they don't understand it will sink in a few days. If it doesn't you should look for some help else where. Prove a point to your parents that being bi is not something to be ashamed about. When they finally do understand life will go on happily and peacefully as planned.

I know, coming out is hard because I still haven't done it. Anyways, what are their views on it? Do you think they would be cool with it, or would they just flip off the handle? If your parents are the type to be cool about things & not get so hotheaded, I'd tell them just straight out. I'd sit them both down & let them know that this is very personal to you & you want their acceptance. Then proceed to tell them you're bisexual & that you have a girlfriend.

And as for the marriage thing, I wouldn't say all of that because chances are by your spelling, you're young & you never know if your mind is going to change within the next 5-10 years.

The problem is there's no one way to tell parents, siblings, friends about this. Each person can and will react differently. It can get very heated and emotional with parents and it's not your fault. They may blame themselves but in the end you'll always have their love.

I think honesty is the key here. Schedule a sit down or quiet dinner and tell them both the truth or tell them seperately in the same manner and then point them towards books, resources, support groups etc. They may be angry as all get out at first but parents seldom turn their backs on children ever. You just have to tell them but in a controlled setting and privately.

There's no one way to do this that will work for everyone. Once you do tell them I'm sure you as well as they will feel releived for the truth being passed on and no more secrets. Good luck to you.

wait if your a dude and your parents know your gay then just tell them MOM DAD IM NOT GAY, they will be happy. But i bet your a girl so now im serious. Tell them, mom dad I need to tell you something. I am attracted to women and I want to get married with yadah yadah yadah. Any way you ask they will either be supporative or they will hate you. It is really a matter of fate.

There's no easy way of doing it. You're pretty much just going to have to wait until they're in good moods, sit down with them, and gently express that you think you might be bisexual. Good luck.
