I want to come out to my parents.

Hey Guys

Some of you might remember me, some might not. Anyway, I want to come out to my parents as bi. I have thought about this for a while and I think I'm ready. I just don't know how or what to say, so maybe I'm not ready?
Could you guys give me a bit of advice? I'm also looking up how to come out. Some helpful stuff on there.

Thanks!

I dont think you need to say anything. Im not sure that it is something that needs to be necessarily shared. IDK but if you want to, Im sure someone will have some good advice.

I agree, why do you feel the need? Something you ask ur self ok?
Labels..... no big thing.... Ur still real young like myself, don't rush it man

But if you really feel the need to tell the rents, and ur not sure what to say, try this at the next dinner ur all havin together, when there's a lull in discussion just say hay, wanted to let you guys know that I yhink im bi...
Easier said than done but.... I only know English

Then again, does it really need to be said???

If you feel ready: then you are ready.
Whatever stage anyone is at in their life, they are always going to end up changing. There is always the chance to say that you have changed, and you are not locking yourself in by coming out, only explaining how you would like to be referred to as now, despite what those above would say.
Anyway, I would simply find a point in a calm conversation, and be straight-up with it (excuse the pun :P):
"I have something to tell you: I'm bi."
Be prepared for a wide range of reactions, but the most important thing to do is to make sure that you guys speak about it. Sexuality is a difficult thing for everyone, so initiate a dialogue if need be, and answer any questions they may have.
Most of all, be happy, and don't get too worried about it.
If you need any more advice, feel free to shoot me a PM or VM.
Good luck.

My brother just came out to our parents not too long ago. They were really confused at first but they never did anything bad. Our mom always suspected but she never bothered him about it. Our dad had no clue lol

you should first check their opinion about the theme and unnecessarily dont mention that you are bi . it is common that parents dont accept their childs sexuality. be careful.

look honestly the best way is just to come straight out and tell them together or one at a time dosent matter but there is no better way to tell them than to just comeout and tell them

You could be forthright, ask to talk to them and come out of the closet then. Or you could wait until they discuss sexuality or relationships with you, in which case you can do it more discretely within the context of that conversation. The latter would be a bit easier, but either way works.
