I've been bi my whole life. I've had crushes on girls, and even kissed a few. Starting yesterday, I've entered a relationship with a girl, my first girlfriend(:

We made it official on facebook, but nobody really commented on it other than people who knew I was bisexual (a handful of close friends)

I don't want to keep it a secret from my family and other friends, you know? I want it to be a real relationship. But I don't want to start drama either.

Should I come out to my family and say I have a girlfriend now? Or should I just kind of.. keep it on the down low?

If you want to come out, then do so. dont let others decide for you, its your choice.

If you do want to come out, ill help out any way i can :)

Only you can judge how much of a drama it might cause within your own family. Maybe you could have her round after school a few times, just like a "normal friend", so you mum gets used to seeing her before you say anything. Most parents, even if they feel a bit shocked initially, soon realise that you are the same child that you always were and they still love you. Happy to talk to you more if it might help.

Pretty much what Nick said, too xD

First of all, congratulations! (:

Well, if you want to tell them, then you should. (:

But well sit down with them when they're not stressed or something.
And if they kind of freak out or something,
just tell them that you can't choose sexuality
and that they should accept you for who you are.

Good Luck! (:

I recently came out to my parents with the help of my brother. They were shocked but they realize im still the same person and they are fine with it. Just think of some questions they might ask or think about how you are going to tell them.

Oh and Congrats :)

I'll back that; invite her round, show your family how it's a normal relationship, just with a girl not a boy. If you treat it as normal, and don't overdo it (or if you maaaaasively overdo it; a hard art to perfect), then they'll see that this is how you are, they can't change that :yes:

Congratulations, and good luck with her! :wub:
