here is my advice

tell your friends and see how they take it and then when you are comfortable tell your parents

[jegoss02]

tell your closest friend. you would find that some friends react better than family. plus some are young and understand better than older people. honestly it would should be your best friend.

1. Start a new thread and tell us you're bi. - so far, you've told us you've "been thinking about coming out as bi" . So it's a subtle diff, but go ahead and tell us "just letting you know, I've thought about it a long time, but never said anything, but I'm bi. To be more accurate, I'm bisexual. -see what people say, see how it feels. Also, update your profile or avatar pic, just cuz. the one ya got, we can't even really see ya. How else are we gonna know what a bi kid looks like! Sheesh! :)
2. Go in your bathroom or bedroom mirror and tell yourself the same thing. It's okay, you can do it. I know it seems stupid, but just do it. 20 min later do it again, see how you feel.
3. Check back on the thread you started that tells everyone you're bi. See what they say.
4. Think about it for a little longer? Maybe?
5. Feel free to tell yourself every day, out loud when you're by yourself that "Yup, I'm bi and ya know what, it's okay so far. Kinda scared how people are gonna react, but ya know what, now they get to know the real me. "

6. Ya know what? I think some of your friends might make fun of you and ya know what? That's probably a good thing. Do you ever make fun of your friends? I do and I expect my friends to make fun of me too. Believe it or not, the people who know you and like you make fun of you all the time and vice versa. And it completely okay, that's what friends do. Think about it. Ya know it's true. Think about the kids that never made fun of you. Do they even know you?

7. Your parents upset? Wow. So this will be the first time your parents get upset with you. THATs impressive. (sarc) Of course they're gonna be upset. Expect it or prepare for it, BUT what happened the last time they were upset? Did they get over it? I'm thinkin they did. Same for your friends too actually. People that already like you or care about, get over stuff. It's what we do.

I honestly think that if your friends make fun of you for that, they aren't really your friends, but that is just my opinion. I think sexuality isn't something someone should make fun of, unless it is that particular person making a joke about themselves. If they joke with you and you don't mind it, fine. I would tell a TRUSTED friend first, before telling everyone else. That's what I did.

Your parents may be mad or surprised, but they unconditionally love you, just remember that. They'll grow to accept it after a while.

I think just by telling a close friend first, may help a bit. It helped me.

If you've got a family built upon love, I don't think they'll really be angry or anything about who you are. They may be in denial and/or shock for a bit, but I'm sure that they'll come to terms with it. They'll have to. Just be gentle and tell them that this is who you are, and you still love them and your still the same person you always have been (: Good luck<33

Tell your closest, most trustworthy friend first. They will be there to support you.
And you should pull a Nike on it: Just do it.
