i've come out to most of my friends and even my guidence counselor. I know my parents will love me no matter what and are even ok with my cousin who is a lesbian and has a girlfriend. But i just don't know how to tell them. Any advice?

Try this: "Mom, dad, I'm bi."

Just leaving rainbow flags around the house isn't enough.
i tried leaving hints and stuff and that never worked.
They need clarification. They need substance. They need confirmation. You may also be gay you know. i think they should know. for the time being bi may be all you are and thats all that matters. You need to tell them.
But be prepared for a bad response....this is mainly by the mainstream medias influence on the human mind.
They will accept you fully with time. I think it helps that u have a cousin that is gay.
The sooner the better but don't worry if you need more time. most people do need time when your trying to define your inner core self. good luck and peace be with you.

I agree that it's something you need to be honest about with them, because it's a huge part of your life. If I were you, I'd sit them both down either one on one or together (whichever you feel would be easiest) and tell them it's something you've given a lot of thought to, and have come to the realisation that you're bisexual. You don't have to go into any further detail with them (i.e. if the question comes up "but how do you know, have you even ever been with a girl?!") if you're not comfortable with doing so. You just need to gently remind them that you're still the same person as you ever were.
If they react well to you coming out, then don't forget to thank them, or at least let them know how much their love and support is appreciated.
Good luck

I understand your nervous... if it were me I' d start by saying a girl on T.V. is "so hot". Then I move onto making comments about guys who dump hot chicks... then a couple of weeks later I'd drop a few more hints. I think you should ease into it... don't just drop it on them.

I guess the best way is to be honest with them and do not beat around the bush. In my opinion it just easier to just get it over fast and there might be some tears but they will still love you.

I think you should tell who ever your closest to first if not both
together. and their response will be "Your just going to thru a stage" but let them know this is what you feel and maybe in time they will except it

Invite them to your place and take time to explain them who you are. They will have no choice to express to you what they think about it.
