First of all, I am 27 and bisexual and married. My parents have no idea about the fact I have been with girls. I have never been in a situation where I have had to reveal that to them, nor do I really care to. That is basically something between me and my husband, and whoever else might know. You can either choose to tell them, or not tell them, but you should do what you feel is right. At 16, you could still change your mind or go either way. If you feel it would hurt your relationship with them and cause you unnecessary stress, don't bother. As far as they need to know any girl (or guy) you are with is your "friend" whether they are or aren't. If you do tell them, don't let them bully you into thinking something is wrong with you or you need to change. People go through a lot in their lives and you need to find out what is right for you, whether you are straight, bi, or gay. I think parents should at least support their kids, they don't have to like it, but they should support them - just my opinion.

Do you tell your parents everything you do in your life? My guess if, if you are like every other 16 year old out there, NO. Then why do you feel an overwhelming need to discuss your sexual desires with them now?
You are 16 years old. That means your body is full of raging horomones. What you feel today you may or may not feel tomorrow. So why go through all the drama of telling your parents something like this?
You are young, ENJOY LIFE ... leave the drama behind you and learn more about what YOU want before deciding to discuss it with your parents.
If in a few years you find you are still attracted to both male and females and you for whatever reason feel you MUST tell your parents, then consider it then. But for now my advice is to keep your love life to yourself. Your parents have enough to keep on you about, why add fuel to the fire?

I know this is hard for you, but if i was your mum or dad i would want to find out from you and not from someone Else. That would be even worst.
They maybe very upset with you but i am sure that in time they will get over the shock. But then on the other hand they may take the news much better than you think. Ever way you should tell them. I will pray for you that all will be well
and remember know matter want Jesus he really does love you

it depends on A) how sure you are of being bi-sexual.
B) how close you are with your parents.
C) their view on such a thing
if your afraid of telling them because they wont react well to it leave it for a bit what they dont know wont hurt them and it will give you time to make sure you are bi-sexual so you dont create a false alarm. I am also 99% sure that thinking your bi sexual and having attractions to people the same sex as you is common during puberty you could just grow out of it. another solution is to look at gay porn and see if it does anything for you.

Being bisexual means you like the opposite sex and the same sex. You don't need to tell your parents you like the same sex. Just date people of the opposite sex and stay straight. Bisexuals and gays have many more chances of contracting STDs. So why not stay with the opposite sex and just don't date same sex....at least until you are over 21. Then, you don't have to talk to your parents about it until then. You see, sometimes teens experiment and think they are bi or gay, but they really are just confused.

If they love you, it will be ok.
My mom always told me that family is the one that you can tell anything too.
But, at 16 you really have alot more growing up to do. Bisexuality is a cover-up for being curious.

Listen when I was 16 I always checked out chicks.... I thought I was gonna be gay by the time I got older.... but you grow out of it... you never know you could like girls for the rest of your life.... I still look at girls now and say theyre hot and stuff, but I have a boyfriend that I could NEVER live without... Have you ever been with a guy before??

First off...There is NOTHING wrong with you. Don't lable yourself just yet. You have a long way to go. Why tell them? Just casually do your thing. Besides, if you say something, you won't have as much privacy if you have any sleep-overs.

you have a few choices. one is wait till your old enough to be out on your own to tell them. the other is to hide it from them. you can also ask their opions on things hinting around that, to see their reaction.if they're cool with it then say something. if not, wait.
