Hey, Coming out is hard but it just takes confidence. You have to tell yourself you are ready to come out and then make yourself tell your parents. 'I have something to say, I'm Bisexual'

It's OK to chicken out a few times before having any success. I did.

First how old r u and do u think that they will b
comfortable with the news. Have u told anyone else?
Since u r nervous I would say no one knows. If u
really want them to know then I would make up my
mind and say that I think that I am Bi and do u
accept it.

Puberty For Boys :arrow: Teen Sexuality and Gender

It's going to be alright. You'll freak out, you'll panic, but when you tell them it might not be as bad as you think. I know it's nerve-racking, I've never had to talk to my parents about my sexuality but when I do talk about the things I question myself about a lot, I always tend to back out just before the conversation because of uncertainty. It's alright to be afraid of judgement, especially from your parents. But it might not be as bad as you think because they are your parents. And because they are your parents they love you no matter what. It may not be easy for them to accept, but they'll accept you because they love you. If they don't, which I'm sure won't happen because these things take time to acknowledge and accept, don't beat yourself up about it. Accept yourself, start the conversation at a good time when everyone's in a good head space, and speak from your mind. Just whatever's on your mind. You deserve to be listened to. Approach it in a way that makes you most comfortable, deep breaths, take it slow. It will be alright~

If you're nervous about it then I'd recommend not telling them. It's not an absolutely vital piece of information that they need to know. Just let it happen naturally if you're not comfortable going up to them and telling them. If you get a boyfriend just bring him home with you and if they ask who he is tell them he's your boyfriend or if they ask you are you gay or whatever just tell the truth. I think a lot of the time, the issue with people isn't so much telling people they're gay but more so how to do it.

I don't think I'd tell my parents but when I come back with a boy that should be a clue plus I'd be honest if they asked my

I agree with what Jake said. Don't say anything but if they ask you tell them the truth.

coming out is a hard thing to do, especially to your parents, but know that there is no pressure to do it. Take your time and talk it through with yourself a couple of times until you feel comfortable enough with what you want to say. Wait until you feel you are really ready, then sit them down and go for it. Also, if it helps, you can always tell them on at a time if telling them together is more difficult for you. You can do it, good luck.

Coming out is a different experience for everyone, and can be hard, or anxiety-inducing, but it can also be a fantastic, bonding, and freeing experience. I recommend following Zack's advice above - staying calm and communicating clearly and answering their questions is vital.

I would wait until you feel comfortable. It's a big thing and, I wouldn't rush it. If you feel you are ready, tell them. At dinner, say, "I need to tell you something." Then, count to three slowly (1.. 2.. 3.. ) and let the the words flow out. But, don't rush something. Wait til you're comfortable

I think you should wait until you are comfortable with the person you are. I was confused thinking I was straight, gay or Bi. I didn't want to be gay because of my family and the shame I felt. I do like girls and the company of them as well as sex with them. I do see myself getting married and having kids with a women. On the other end I'm also attracted to guys and enjoy having sex with my best friend. We have experimented since we were young and I have had relations with a few other close friends. I keep my sexuality to myself and if I ever get in a serious relationship with a girl I will be totally honest with her and commit myself to her only. I never felt like I had to tell anyone what my sexual preference is. It's just how I feel. My point is think it out, it's your choice what your sexual preference is and if you don't feel the confidence yet to tell your parents you are bi wait. Wait until you are really sure of your sexuality and then go for it. What if it's a experimentation phase you are going through and later on you decide you have a different sexual preference. Good luck to you.
