there is no easy way to tell them. If you know for sure that your parents will accept that you're bi, then it should be a problem telling them. They probably already know and just waiting on you to say something.

I say let'er rip all at once, like a bandaid, quick!  My ex-girlfriend didn't come out to her parents till she was 33 and told her about the girlfriend at the same time.  Worked out ok for her.  Good Luck!

It's not a question. Being bi is something that someone is born with, maybe you are but haven't come to terms with it until now. Just take a deep breath and do what feels right. If being with another man feels right, good, if a woman:good. Remember, you are what you are, you already know the answer, your body knows just follow your heart!

I would NOT tell your friends about this.  You are only 15 and there is nothing wrong with being bi at all.  BUT your friends may turn into morons and tell everyone on the planet including your parents and it could make things awful for you!  Keep this to yourself for awhile!

Dude, don't tell your parents you are gay (or bi) until you are certain yourself. \n\nTake time to think about what it is you like and are attracted to.  There is no hurry to declare yourself anything, you can take as long as you want.  I strongly suggest you NOT try to experiment.\n\nWhen and if you determine that you are gay, then educate yourself on what that means to you and how you are going to make the best of it.  \n\nWhen you do all that, then think about telling your parents, but only when you are sure you actually have something to tell them.\n\nTake a look at the two links below.  The first is about teen sexuality (straight, gay, bi) the second is for gay teens or teens questioning whether they are gay or not.  Its all G or PG rated, but loaded with useful information, so you know what it is you are dealing with.\n\nhttp://www.sxetc.org/\n\nhttp://www.outproud.org/\n\nHope this helps.

Well considering shes your teahcer there isnt much you can do in that department. i mean you cant really approach her. i mean i guess you could. Really , I just think you should explore the fact that you like girls and go from there. If you feel you really do like them for sure and you may be with women in the future then you can consider telling your parents. From my own experience though, you must know that more than likely if you tell your parents now that you think you are gay or bi they are unlikely to believe you so be prepared and have a strong support system from some friends.

Coming Out is an individual choice for each and every person that comes out and depends on why you want to come out, what that person means to you, and lots of other factors.\n\nDecide why you're telling her... for you or for her?\n\nIf she's asking about your personal life... such as who you're dating or interested in, then that may be a reason to tell her.\n\nBut in the end, it's totally up to you. Some of us feel better not having any secrets in our lives, especially about who we love.\n\nCheck out some of the Coming Out resources listed below. And you may want to purchase "Now That You Know," a great resource for parents and friends of GLBT folks.\n\nThe best of luck to you!

I feel the best way to tell your parents is to just sit them down and tell them exactly how you feel about your boyfriend and since they're your parents I'm sure that they want you to be happy so be detail about how you feel and how content you are with your boyfriend, let them know toward the end of your conversation that he is black and let them know that you understand how they feel about you dating a black guy but you definitely think you can make your own decisions in choosing who you go out with. Basically, express yourself and your feelings but be very understanding and respectful at the same time.

You are for sure bisexual, but you don't want or are not yet prepared to admit that. You must deal with this first, then you'd better talk to that girl and explain her everything you feel; be sincere if you want to be fully understood. She will know what to tell you, how to guide you into this new "phenomenon". Rest asured, she will perfectly understand and support you, if she realy is bi, as you said.\nDon't break up with her just because you feel awkward when boys are near (you two). You'll hurt both of you, and neither deserve such a heartache...

I think a lot of people go through not being able to tell their parents about how they want to live. especially when their parents are really religious. I had a hard time telling them that I was dating my boyfriend, now husband. I can't even imagine how hard it would be for you.\nbut if you really want to live the way you want to live, than you have to tell them. if they love you, they will learn to understand and respect your lifestyle.\nit took my family about 6 months to talk to me again when they found out that I moved in with my boyfriend and I didn't want to belong to their church.\nhang in there, and your parents will come around.\ngood luck!

You have the thought of being bi? Umm you are bi if you like both sexes! You have to be honest and up front with your girl! Just tell her your feelings. She might understand. But if you truly love her then you wouldn't do anything to hurt her.

I can't claim to know anything about your problem, I'm a straight female.  But it just broke my heart to read your question.  This must be so difficult for you.  I don't know what to tell you to do, maybe you should try to wait for the right person to come along before you say anything, at least then you would have some kind of support.  I can't speak for your parents, of course, but if my child came to me and told me he's gay, I would be loving and supportive, a parent always loves their children, no matter what, at least that's the way I feel about my child.  I just wanted you to know I feel for you and wish you the best! :)

Though you did not explain this in your question, I suspect your parents insist on group dating and I understand why. Please try to understand this from their perspective. They walk a very thin tightrope between trying to protect you from the vagaries of this time of moral turpitude in which we live today, while at the same time learning to trust you to make wise decisions, while having the fun that life offers.\nI question your boyfriend's frustration. I think his feelings illustrate clearly why your parents insist on group dating only. You must examine your own feelings. I assume you are a wonderful young lady, with tremendous potential, and your parents are simply trying to help you and others focus on your potential and not  your libido.\nYou are fortunate! If he really cares about you, he will understand that the situation works best for all involved, including him.

My son came out to me when he was 17.....I had known he was gay long before that though, probably even before he did.  Your parents will love you regardless.  Even my parents, who used to say things like "All gays should be shot", have now changed their views radically and say "to each their own".  Don't be afraid, parents just want you to be happy, no matter what.

Well some parents are "old fashioned" and being a lesbian is probably hard for them to understand. Most people think that it is a choice but truth be told you are born with it....does that make you a bad person? No of course not...but to them "it is not normal...get over it and change.." so this is their way of doing that....soon enough they will realize they can't change you...no matter wat they do...you are who you are.....so let them know that..and keep on doing it...i mean at the end of the day they are going to have to accept it whether they like it or not..
