 You dont have to tell them if you dont want to, but if you feel better about it then i would wait until i had moved out, just in case they put me out. Some parents dont know how to take this kind of info, and i would want to be living in a place of my own before i shared that info with them, but that is me, take care and i am sure they will love you just the same, i am sending you big hugs. You are a lovely and beautiful person.

 You dont really have to tell them that you are gay one day they will find out when they never see you with girls ect. but if you really want them to know then sit them down and tell them " we really need to talk about something and i dont know how you are going to act but please be supportive with my choice, i am not into girls i really like guys and i am gay"

Do you need to tell them so soon?
I am not saying that you are not gay or that you don't know your own mind. But what I will say is that there is nothing wrong with letting them build up a suspicion for a while before you confirm it to them.
You aren't going to be bringing men back to introduce to them as your boyfriend for a little while yet, so just carry on a you are for a while.
In a few years when they notice you don't seem to be interested in girls then perhaps you might need to tell them. But for now you can just chill out and be young.
Good Luck!! xx

hello litte man..
There is no right or wrong way to come out to your parents,it will feel right at the time.Im 22 and i only came out to my friends and mum about 2 years ago.I still havnt told my family either..
The way i told my mum was just in genral conversation about lgbt.i wanted to hear her view on the subject and then i just came out and said i find women attractive.
Everyone comes out in diffrent ways,aslong as you feel the time is right and your ready,i say just tell them.if your closer to one parent than the other maybe tell them first.
Whatever you decide to do i hope your friends will be there for you to surport you.good luck lil man and remember to be proud of who and what you are no matter what:)

 I think you should read this websites:http://www.outproud.org/brochure_coming_out.htmlhttp://www.wikihow.com/Tell-Your-Family-That-You-Are-Gay
Please read both of them thoroughly. The first website will tell you what to expect and what to do in the possible outcomes that might happen. The second website gives you steps on how to do your talk with your parents.
I'm sorry I can't be of any more help since I have no experience about this, but the websites I've given you will surely help you on this.
Good luck and I hope your parents are understanding.
