Well lets see. First your girlfriend shouldnt leave you for it and exept you for who you are and that u will eventually tell your 'rents. But anyway i do also see where shes coming from and there are a couple " types or parents," the calm ones " who will love you nomatter what. the a bit crazy (but whos parents arent) ones who will hafta get use to the fact that you are lesbian but will still love you anyway. And the unaccepting ones who dosent believe in you and/or will not exept your wishes. Most parents are the first two, and it may take some getting use to, buti think everything will be okay. Sit them down, make a a bit serious but not to crazy. This is your life were talking about and its more than importat to you and i bet your parents care just as much as whats best for you, and they prolly want't to know if you happy/unhappy with whats going on. Don't Keep it from them any longer! their your parents, and they proably care more than anyone!and if u think they don't watch how they'll react i bet after a short period of getting use to everyhing will be fine!Good Luck=)!

It's simple, you open the closest door and step out.
But seriously, you might wanna tell your parents that you have a girlfriend and your feelings for her. Try not to dodge around the issue, but let them know you're serious and that's how you were born. If they try to dismiss it as a phase, don't let them.
However, I'm not sure if these are the kind of parents that would accept you, kick you out of the house, or anything in-between.

I would come out of the cupboard and give your g/friend a deep and long tongue kiss in front of your parents next time she is with you. You will not have to worry about telling them then, I think they might guess what is going on in your love life.
Good luck.

Two options: Either sit them down and tell them and talk about it and make a big deal out of it or you can just slip it into a conversation casually like you would anything else.

You know I remember when I told my parents...I was scared sh@tless but I wanted to tell my mom because I was sad over a breakup. I just said I am gay...and then we all cried.

sit them down and tell them how you feel and if they are caring parents they will accept your choice and still respect you and treat you as the same adult you have always been. be prepared to also deal with their reactions if they are not supportive and don't back down or let them intimidate you
