how can i tell my parents?

Question

im gay how can i tell my parents?

Answer 1

Be easy and open. They may not accept the fact right now, but hopefully they are open minded people and will be ok with it. You really need to sit them down without any distraction, no phones, friends, no one else but you and your parents. The longer you wait the harder it will become.

Good luck to you!!

Answer 2

Chances are they already have an idea. Parents are hard to fool. Even when you think you are fooling them they know. They are your Mom and Dad for life. They Love you they may not always agree with your decisions in life but if they are good parents they will love you no matter what. Go to them say "I have something really serious to tell you. It is probably going to hurt you or make you get angry but I still need to tell you. Please understand how hard this is for me to tell you. I am afraid what I have to say will make our relationship different somehow and I don't want that but I must be totally honest with you because I love you." Then just say it. "I'm Gay." Wait for the reaction. It might be total silence, it might be tears or anger whatever it is you must stay in the room and deal with whatever comes because you initiated the conversation. After the reaction has finished things will be better. Please understand, their reactions will come out in many ways and not to hurt you but because they are hurting, and they love you. When a parent has a child they want that child to be perfect in every way. No deformaties, no mental handicaps, a regular every day human being. By telling them that their child whom they thought was the average all american boy who they thought would grow up and one day marry a girl and have grandchildren for them is gay you just burst a major bubble for them. It is going to take time for them to except this. Good Luck and God Bless

There is no right way to speak to them.But to truly speak to the so they can hear you out is just get them at their best moment,when their not irritated about somthing or upset at each other. Tell them about your struggle on how hard it was to come to your realization that this is who you are and they need to know,and that you love them very much,and you need them on your side not against you. If your parents are understanding people,they will love you no matter what.It will take them lots of time to get comfortable with your situation but in the long run,everything will,hopefully work out. Good luck and god bless.

Answer 4

Not an easy thing. If it was me, I would sit them down and just tell them. If they support you great, if not, well that will be ok too. I dont have many wise words to give you because I have never been in your situation. But all the same, good luck.

First of all, your parents are the most dearest people to you, probably. They deserve to know who you are, from the inside and out! Just sit down with them (at a convenient time), and explain your side of the story. I have faith in you! Good luck!
