Yes, the same topic for like the millionth time...

The situation so far:
I'm bisexual and all of my friends know yet I'm too afraid to tell my parents.
I've become used to how they treat me and wouldn't want them to think of me any differently as they do now... Problem being is that if I do come out to them, I'm afraid they -will- start treating me differently to usual.

I'm happy with my sexuality and with myself, I'm just not sure if my parents would be okay with it. And even if they were, they would still be different with me.
Its this change I'm afraid of...

Any help or support guys and girls?

You know, there's also a great site called Empty Closets where you can get support when coming out. Here's the URL: http://www.emptyclosets.com

if your parents are accepting they should let you do what you want with your love and if they understand no matter what they will love you the same way

they may already know.
mine coming out story isnt how it should.
i think you should tell them unless you are 100% sure that they wont support it.
then wait till ur 18.
best of luck

If you are living at home and/or under 18 and getting their financial support, then why bother telling them. They might pick up on it, and when they do, then time for a talk. But if you date a guy or a girl, they probably won't know what is going on.

I'm in the exact same situation. I just don't feel like I can come out to them. So I've decided that I'm not going to until I get a boyfriend.

If they don't think low about bi/ homosexuals, go ahead and Tell them.
If they think bad about the gay community, don't even bother.
From personal experience.. If they think bad about gays and think you are.. Get a girlfriend :) don't leave the girlfriend in the dark about everything though.

If I were in your position I would talk to the parent you get a long better with as they would most probably be happy for you, later on I would come out to the other parent, if they don't except its one of those things in life that don't go your way, never think its you fault.
