Don't feel as though you are the only one with this problem. There are hundreds, if not thousands of children, when going through puberty realize that they aren't what they seem. A lot of them don't come out and say it because they are scared as to how others will react. You should tell your parents that you are not happy living your life as a male and you feel that being a female is what you were meant to be. They should understand. Most parents support their children in situations like this. Most parents can tell that while growing up as a male that the child may not do certain things male children should do, or that they act differently from many other male children. I am sure that your parents love you and will support your decision. Sure they will probably be upset or depressed about the situation at first, but I think they would rather be happy for you to be happy. You should never think about taking your own life. Nothing is worth that. Your life is so much more than what others may think of you. Have you ever went online and searched for others in or near your area who are or were suffering from the same thing as you? You might want to try that and see what suggestions they have to offer. You should also talk to a psychologist about your depression.
I hope this helps and I wish you the best in your future.

Well you should talk to them about it. They wont stop loving you, but don't take this the wrong way but you were meant t be a guy and God made you that way for a reason. If God wanted you to be a girl he would of. If you do turn yourself into a woman then you may not get he same chances you would as a guy. You never no if you stay a guy then you may make a HUGE difference in the world. I'm sorry if you took that the wrong way but that's how i see it. If you want to talk then email me at daddys_girl_142@hotmail.com!! =) God Bless!

I would sit down and just bring up the topic of being unhappy in your current body and tell your mom you would like to talk to someone about this. She can ask your doc for a referral to a therapist to help you sort your feelings out.

don't be scared. You have to first accept this yourself :)
then once you have accepted and embraced this you will then have the courage and strength to tell your parents. They are your parents, they will love you either way! It may be a shock for them at first and you will need to be prepared for that, but they will love you through it. Count on it, I would if my son came to me. Hang in there. And be strong

no matter what you HAVE to tell them. they wont stop loving you just because you want to be someone different. they will understand. get some courage and tell them immediately. before you hurt yourself or commit suicide. or try going to a counsler or someone you can share your feelings to easily.whether its your friend, teacher..etc. then mebbe they will help you tell your parents with you.
GOOD LUCK.=]

Please tell them. They may be upset initially, but they will always love you. Don't commit suicide. My brother did at 24. Worst thing I've ever been through.
