Oh sweetie...I know that can be tough. I know because I am a bi-female myself. I can't tell you what YOU should do because I don't know the specifics of your situation. But I will tell you how I dealt with that issue. Keep in mind that my parents were horribly abusive and mean-spirited towards me. I am grown now and I am married and I have two children of my own. I choose not to have any contact with any of my family anymore. They are just not able to cope with my lifestyle. But my husband is very supportive. As is his family. If you think your parents would be understanding AND supportive then you should tell them, but if that isn't the case it would be best for your mental well-being to keep it to yourself or tell someone else that you may be close to. I hope this helps dear. If you would like to discuss it further, feel free to email me anytime. Hugs-Emily

No matter how you tell them most likely they will stay in denial and refuse to accept it!! I was 30 when I had my first same sex relationship, and my parents still don't want to face it. They say that I am just confused and searching trying to find Mr. Right, and they believe that being in a same sex relationship is to complicating and that is makes life harder, but what they don't get is that every relationship is complicating and hard until you meet the right one no matter what sex they may be. All I can say is tell them and be honest about it.. It will be your choice on who you decide to be with. As long as it feels right for you that is all that matters! No matter what happens be strong and stand up for your feeling because they won't magically disappear and if you don't fight for your choice of life or partner you will be lonely and unhappy just because you are trying to please your parents.. You should not have to put your happiness aside for anyone!! So Good Luck and Be Strong!

Mom, Dad, I'm Bi.
Thats one way of telling them. It probably wouldn't be a good idea though, unless you know that your mother and father are not against Gays or Lesbians.

How old are you? If you're an adult and have known your sexuality for a while, you can just sit down and talk to them about it. If you're a teenager, you may want to be more reflective about it, perhaps wait until you're in college.

Why should you? Your sex life is private, until or unless you choose a mate. Then you can tell them which person you settled on.

I would not tell them. You might meet someone of the opposite sex that will make you happy.
