how do i tell them?

[Ashleigh]

Ok, so I've recently come out as bisexual but I have no idea how to tell my parents or sister. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions of how I could tell them. :S xx

Sorry ,I've been having the same problem.I'm not telling them until I'm out of the house xD!I would also wait till i was little older to be sure ik what I am and it's not just horemones,but if you're sure it isn't horemones,then I might tell them.What are your parents veiws on relgion and stuff like that,it could help you decide if it's the best thing to tell them while you're living with them. Good luck, and hope this helped.

Thankyou for getting back to me. My family have no religious veiws although I don't think my mother is particularly fond of same sex relationships. xx

I have recently come out to my mother, not brave enough to tell my dad though!
I think you just need to say it, if you wait around for ages then you will get nervous and chicken out. Just say something like "i dont know how to tell you this but.. I like girls and guys and i think im Bisexual". Say it quickly so you dont have a chance to go back on yourself and deny it.

Also i couldnt say it face to face.. i was too scared.. So i did two things.. I wrote a letter (which i was actually going to use.. but i got scared" so i told her when she was brushing her teeth.. I know weird. But at least i knew she couldnt decide to shout at me. Dont worry about it, just do it whenever feels comfortable.

Oh right.... I'm way to scared to tell them though.... To be honest I may wait until i get a girlfriend and then just introduce them to her.... It seems like it would be so much more simpler... :S xx

Hey Ashleigh,
Well which of your family members would you consider an 'ally' the person you can tell and you know 100 percent they'll be beside you. I mean I wanted to come out as bi but I realized I admitted to myself and that was good enough for me. When I'm older and stuff I'll tell my parents. They're pretty conservative. I told my best friend, and that was fine with me. Telling my parents wouldve only made things hard for me. Its great that you want to be open with your parents. But I personally think coming out means admitting to yourself your bi. Telling other people just means your letting people know you like having sex with other girls, which if you break it down. Aint nobody's damn business but your own. hehe. thats just what i think. i hope it helps

That is understandable.
Yeah but dont you think they ought to know before?
It would be a big shock when you bring home a girlfriend.
