I'm bisexual but I'm afraid to out
Hi I'm Jay and I'm from the Philippines. I'm 18yrs old and bisexual. In our culture this is frowned upon so I'm scared to tell my friends and family. I'm worried that they will not accept my sexuality.I also find it hard to be in a relationship because I always feel unsatisfied. I'm female and a college sophomore

Coming out is scary.
Test the waters before you tell your friends and family.
Bring up a news story or a current event about homosexuality, and find out where your family stands. Ask them what they think of bisexuals before you tell them.
Don't use your sexuality as a weapon during an argument. Tell your family and friends once you're sure they're accepting of bisexuals and when they are relaxed and in a good mood.
If you depend on your family for financial support or if you live with them, you want to be extra sure they'll accept you before you tell them. If you're afraid they might hurt you, stop helping you pay for college or kick you out of your house, wait until you have a safe place to go and a back up plan before you tell them.
If you live by yourself and are financially stable enough to pay for college and everything else you need, go ahead and tell them.
It may take time, but your family will eventually accept you. Your sexuality is only a little piece of who you are.
