I'm bi, how do I tell friends?

[maximum]

Hi, I'm bisexual and have been for some years and I am thinking I might soon come out and tell someone other than internet people. I don't know how to say I am bi to my friends without being beated or harassed. I need a way to tell someone.

Just calmly tell them. You can't help it if they don't accept you, that's just the way some people are. The important thing is that you accept yourself.

Don't act like it's a huge thing and go out there saying 'HEY GUYS, GUESS WHAT?! I'M BI!!' Just tell them calmly and naturally.

If they are true friends they will accept you for what you are. You should tell them as you shouldn't live a lie

[Zeh Crazy]

I hate living a lie. No one knows. Not even family. If it got around, I would be badly shunned and my friends always talk bad about being gay, lez, or bi, so I don't know what to do. I think I'm just going to keep it under wraps and reveal it later in life where I'm older and able to deal with the rejection better. Either way, I'm getting rejected. It's not safe to tell my family because they think all bi, lez, or gay people are going to Hell. And then my friends think it's disgusting. I have 2 friends who I've told, only because they're bi themselves.

But if you want to tell them, if you can't bear the secrecy any longer, then do it. Sit down with them and say "I need to tell you something and I need you to listen and finish for me to explain it first". Then after you've told them, say something like "If this bothers you, I don't want it to affect our friendship and I still want to be friends".

just tell them in a mature way. they should accept the fact and keep living life all the same.

like Jess said, just tell them. you have nothing to be ashamed of, or to fear from from your true friends. your real friends will accept you. otherwise, they aren't really your friends. just take a deep breath, and do it.

If They Are Truly Your Friends They Wont Care They Will Still Love You Some Advice I Found It Easier To Tell My Female Friends First They Are Generaly More Accecpting

Yeh, I think I might run into the same dilemma soon!! But yeah as everyone said if they are truly you're friends they will accept you for who you are. ;)

[Dunce]

Lip lock them!!! ok no dont do that...
Well if you think you will be treated differently then i would just tell friends that you really trust and think would be ok with it.
There's no real need to tell many people if you dont feel sure about what they will think.
Plus, it's not really a big deal anyway, if you do decide to tell all of your friends dont freak out!

Weigh up the pros and cons of coming out now, and whether they're worth it or not. I suggest when coming out (when you do choose) that you make sure you know what to say before you start talking, because if you get all muddled up, you'll probably forget to tell them and hold it off for ages. Or they won't believe you because you don't believe in what you say. Which person, do you think, is actually the best person to tell, remember at this stage, you don't actually have to come out to everyone, one at a time, that's fine too. Hey, it can even be a random person, as long as you feel like the weight of hiding it is if your shoulders. You have to think, "what's best for me?" and if that answer is "not to tell people" then don't tell people, you have your whole life to tell person you're attracted to the same and opposite sex, it's not a rush or a race, just whenever you feel comfortable.

Hey i am having this same problem, my parents dont know, i am not 100% sure and i am not really labelling it because i am only 16 and things can change. I dont know whether to tell my friends that i might be so i am stuck in the same rut.
