[Silent]

I need some tips on coming out to people? Some of my friends know but I want to tell my mom but dont know how....as well as tell some other people I just need some tips. Can you help me out?

[MELL-AHH-KNEE]

sweetie, just sit down with your mum and just tell her calmly, nothinh can go wrong, she will out of everyone in the world accept you for who you are, she will love you no matter what, it may take some time for her to get used to but it will get better.

First off, you will know when it's the right time to come out. If you know it's not the time to do it, don't. It's no rush.

When it is time, make sure that the environment is ok. Probably during a quiet time, and when things aren't as rough or loud.

Don't pressure yourself to come out, do it when you are ready, there is no need to rush as August said. You will probably know when the best time is, make sure you are clear on what you want to say to them, and make sure you tell the people who you trust and can be called true friends.

Coming out at a younger age Isn't always the best idea. Especially If your parent(s) are homophobic or don't approve. I would personally wait until I was moved out of the house to come out. If you come out now and they don't approve then they could take away privileges such as sleepovers with friends, computer, phone. Anything can happen, but they could also be supportive and be completely OK with It. I guess It depends on how your parent's thoughts are on homosexuality. Just drop hints or just ask them what they think about homosexuality and If they completely disagree with It then you know your answer. I hope this helps

Well my dad is marjorly homophobic but mom not so much.

[Scarface]

Well maybe sitting down with your mom and coming out to her she will understand then. Remember not all people need to know about your orientation. I still haven't told my dad because he Is extremely homophobic so I just won't tell him.

[Silent]

Ya...I dont even want to tell my dad. Others yes.

[Scarface]

Then don't worry about It just talk with her and explain that It's nothing you want to discuss with your dad. Just keep It between you two.

[Silent]

Ya...I just want to tell her so bad you know but I cant seem to find the courage to do it or know the right time.

Well my dad is marjorly homophobic but mom not so much.

Unfortunatly, sometimes you rather be what your nickname is

thats not the only case on coming out to parents. not every parent is accepting. some parents may throw you out of the house, they will keep you but take everything precious away from you like cellphone, computer, video games, FRIENDS AND FAMILY, some parents will just act like you dont exist, some parents will hate it at first but then realize its not so bad and accept you, or they wont care at all.
when my friend came out to his dad he had made my friends life like hell from all of the stories he tells. but his mom doesnt really care if he is gay or not. his dad calls him faggot, i wish i didnt have a gay as a son, and anything else you could probably think of.

so thats not always the case. if i told my dad he would not be too happy with me and would be extremely upset, and probably wouldnt talk to me for A LONG LONG LONG TIME while my mom and sister would care.

so basically, just take your time, and tell her at the right time. if it makes you even more comfortable, have a friend who already knows with you while you tell just incase anything happens and you need comforting or support if your parents give you a bad reaction, or to calm down your parents, etc. dont rush it and when you do tell her, take as much time as you need even if it takes you four hours, or a month, just take your time.

Alright thank you everyone. I really appreciate it.

That I am, but realistically the only way you can 'come out' is to basically say those words. If he wasn't 'confetent' as you so incorrectly put it, he wouldn't be attempting it.
