My mom probably would have done the same thing if my friend were not there with me.
I am really sorry that happened to you. I know that it took all my courage just to tell my mom that I'm gay, she went into denial too, but it didn't last very long. actually it only took her about an hour to realize that it was true. She still isn't totally comfortable with it and it has been about 9 months give or take.
It will just take some time for them to get used to it. Just try to be as patient as you can and remember that what they do now is probably out of shock.
If it gets any worse, try to find shelter with a relative or friend for a short while.
I wish you the best of luck for the future and I hope that your parents get used to the fact that you have been, are, and will always be bisexual.

Wow. I'm sorry to hear that. If you're not living at home with them, I would avoid them for a while to let it sink in for a bit - it apparently was a shock.
If you are living at home with them, almost the same answer: Try to give them a lot of space to cool down.
I don't know your situation or them, so I have no idea how it will resolve itself. Most often parents do get over it in a relatively short time. In the meantime hang in there sweety - It wasn't your choice and it's not your fault - nor theirs.

I'm sorry. I wouldn't know I haven't told my parents. I'm bi also. Just give them a couple days maybe it will be ok. Let me know what happens please. I'm curious and may need advice later. My email is db_ebarb@yahoo.com. Good Luck.

Move out of the house. If you're old enough to made decisions about sex, then you're old enough to be living on your own without their support.

see what happens when you open your mouth ... you get slapped... I can not understand it when people have to come out .... what a load of b.s. because then when they do they cop a load of crap and then complain about it ...easy don't open your mouth ... no one really wants to or needs to know what your sexual preference is ... except for your partner, b/f or g/f .... sorry but you have made your bed now you have to lay in it
