It depends your gay or bisexual. If your gay, you like the same gender, but if your bisexual, you like both.
Ask yourself these simple questions.
1) Do your parents care who you are?
2) Do your parents give you free time alone?
3) Do your parents let you go out with friends, and spend the night, and hang out during nights?
Parents that give their child free space shouldn't care what you are doing, just hoping nothing inapropriate. If your parents do care what you do and lock you in the house all day, it's going to harder to tell them your gay or bi.
Before you tell them anything, you want both parents together at the same time, so you don't have to repeat it twice and see a weird looking face. Many people think being gay or bi is wrong, but it's natural and a human thing...people just don't see that at all. Don't worry what your parents think, just ask them after you tell them your gay or bi "Are okay with that?" and hopefully they will say yes. If they are okay with that, (They maybe are just saying that to make you feel food, but don't worry what your parents think too much) your in great shape.
I hope I helped (And not telling you information you already know)

I just said, "I think I might be bi."
They argued for awhile, sent me to shrienks all through high school, but at age 22, I said, "Oh by the way, I'm not bi, I've decided I'm gay."
I dated both guys and girls from age 13 - 22 when I finally decided that I was more gay than straight.
Tell them when you think that both you and they are ready. They may already suspect it. Or, start by asking them their opinion on gay issues or gay people and then you will get a feel for if they can handle it yet.

"mama, remember how i never liked to play sports. remember how i never went through that phase where i hated girls? remember when i told you that the dress you were wearing to that party made your hips look big? remember how the football you have me for my 8th birthday just sat in my room? remember how i liked to practice my penmanship? remember how devastated i was when jimmy said he didn't want to be my friend anymore? well, mom, all of those things mean exactly what you always suspected they did... i'm gay. and i'm happy. this is the way god made me. it's nothing you or dad ever did and it's no one's fault. it's just nature. i love you and i'd like your support... but even if you feel you can't give me that, i have to be who i am. there's nothing wrong with being gay, i now realize. it's taken me a long time to accept this for myself and i hope that you will realize that i'm the same person i have always been... nothing has changed, except that now i am ready to share with you what i know is certain. i hope you understand. and by the way, the living room drapes are just hideous."

Just sit them down and say you have something very important to tell them. Once they are listening, just come right out and say it. You haven't mentioned whether your parents are accepting of homosexuality or unaccepting. If they are not, explain to them how you feel and that you cannot change who you are. I wouldn't be too concerned. They're your parents. They will love you regardless of the fact that you happen to have a sexual orientation different from the norm.

Just be calm and straight forward. Tell them you are gay and that you hope they will accept this. Explain you are still the same person and that it shouldn't change the way they treat you or the way you treat them. If they don't accept it that's their problem. You should be proud for having the courage to come out.

first u ask them what they think about them and if there ok with it then go ahead and tell them, but not in a boasting way, easy and calm. Make sure they are 100% ok with the idea of gays ob bi's before you tell them or who knows what will happen!!

Look, i am a strait young lady, but my best friend is gay. Look, i know it may be difficult but you have to sometimes pull your own bootstrap, my friend confided in me and told me that his father beat him, but in the end, his father just had to accept that his son was not a conformist, just beacuse you are gay doesnt mean that you ae any different then anybody else, i actually congratulate you on being honest with yourself and being willing to share your feelings with thises closest to you.

Be calm and patient with them. Tell them your have feelings for the same sex. Tell them you're the same person you were yesterday when they didn't know. Tell them you love them and are not changing. Let them know its not a phase, and that this is your life. They may not like it at first and be prepared for an argument, but know that they love you no matter how much they yell or reject the notion.

that's a hard question but i think you will tell your parents when you fill the time is right. and if your parents truly love you, they would love you no matter what you are. I just came out to my parents 2 months ago. so GOOD LUCK
