Hey man :)
Don't feel pressured. I just recently embraced being bi so this is new to me too.
You are pretty young so don't feel like you have to tell your parents just yet. I respect you for having the courage to even think about coming out :)
I'm coming out to a friend first. I feel really comfortable with her knowing so I feel like it is a really great first step. I dont know if Im ready to tell my parents.
My advice to you is think it over before you tell them (you may change your mind or decide that that is the best move) and to be confident. They are your parents and they love you. They should support you 100% :) Good luck!

Hey, I wrote this thread a little while back with a lot of information and things to keep in mind about coming out. I think it hits all of the major points and provides some tips to help you along the way - it's also filled with personal stories from people who have come out already, and how they did it. I think you could take a lot away from reading this thread. If you'd like to give it a look over here is the link: http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=134627

Remember that you are not alone, and that parents are generally accepting with their children. There are cases where that is not so, but even my dad proved to accept me regardless of his feelings about homosexuality, which were negative. Don't feel pressured to do it if you are not comfortable with it yet, you have as long as you need to come out if you choose to do so, it's not a race :)

I think you should wait a little longer

I think you ought to wait. It may just be crazy hormones that make you think you are bi, and your sexuality may settle down in a few months or years. There's really no rush.

I wouldn't choose to come out at your age, especially if your parents aren't likely to understand.

However if you really want to, just sit your mum down first and break it to her gently. Give her time to accept it and don't dump anymore about it on her then. After that, perhaps she can explain it to your dad and get him to accept you! Good luck!
