You are your "OWN" person. They won't think it is so bad, & they probably already know already, as your sexuality is really none of their business! That is nearly the same issue as pro-choice & pro-life. In a discussion with co-workers, each individual has their own opinion! One believes that we are human beings at conception; another believes in pro-choice as the government, or state isn't going to tell her what she can or can't do to her body; of course, partial birth abortion is another issue, but then it has to be determined at what point there is life! Kept legal, it would remain safe. This bill did not make the ballot in Michigan. These are private issues, and some things need to be kept that way. Another example is prostitution, should it be legal? Some say yes, as the madam would see to it her workers were kept healthy, & preventative measures to STD's would be made. Some say No, keep it illegal. What I am saying there are other issues that require public support. Your sexuality shouldn't be one of them. But your safety should. They don't live your life. Your family can't expect you to live your life the way they want you to live it. You will figure it out, if your a switch hitter for real, and play both sides of the fence; or remain true to either sex, just be honest in your relationships.

Well, if they are true friends, they will accept that you are bi. If they are not, then that leaves you open for some new friends.
And luckily you note that almost all of your family thinks that this is bad, but not all. That's a really good thing actually and it shows that you have an accepting family.
How about this. In life you are going to find that you are who you are, and those around you are either going to like you for who you are, or they will not. You cannot change other people, they must want to change.
As long as your actions are true to you, and not harmful to others, then you are doing what you should be doing. Others will either come around, or they will not, and you will be ok either way.
Love as always,
Sebastian

You do not have to come out to your family if you don't want to, especially if they are likely to reject you or otherwise make you regret telling. Find support for people in your situation and come to terms with where you are and what you want to disclose. That way, at least you will be prepared for how to handle their reaction. You know your family better than anyone else and the fact is some of us don't have loving, caring families. Do what works for you. You are the one who has to live with the decision and the aftermath.

I can't tell you what you should do. but loving and accepting yourself for who you are is important. If you are going to tell your family get the support of someone you know to be with you. A counselor a good friend or someone. Make sure you are ready for the fallout when you do. Or just keep it to yourself, your sex life is no ones business anyway.

Hmmmm....
If it were me, I'd try to drop the gay half of "bisexual".
It'd probably easier than trying to make all new friends, and definitely easier than trying to replace your family.
From what I've seen in Y/A, being gay is more of a hassle than it's worth, anyhow.

you are who you are and you can't change it. more importantly, you should never be made to feel like you should have to. realize that, and respect yourself. then tactfully, gently let them know you're bi, and be prepared to tolerate a lot of nagative reactions. they'll be hurt, mad, they'll try to "cure you", tell you you're wrong. be ready for it, and through it all, simply remember they are doing this because they love you. politely keep telling them that you can't change who you are and give them some time. if they love you, they will come around.
