How do I tell my parents that I am Bisexual?

In the past two years, I have been experiencing feels towards, not only guys, but girls too. Now I may only be 14, but I know my feelings. but I don't know how to tell my mom and dad. they have always said if one of there kids were gay or Bi they would except us as we are. but I'm still a little unsure of how to tell them. and my girlfriend thinks that I'm ashamed of her, because I won't tell my parents about us. what should I do?

i'm kind of in the same place as you right now only i'm lesbian and i don't really know how to tell my mum that i am because she is quite homofobic but there is this girl that i like and i know that she likes me too ( so if things go right :)) So anyway i'm going to just march straight up to her and tell her. And if ive got the bravery ( or stupidaty) to do that to MY mother then i'm pretty sure you do. I don't know if i helped at all by that but i really hope i did. xxx

i have been through the exact same thing. i thought i was bi at first but now i know my feelings towards guys are fake. im a lesbian and proud! i think u just have to ask them to accept u as who u are! if there not the accepting type maybe u should wait till ur able to move in with someone if u think they might kick u out. but i doubt they will as there ur parents and will love u no matter what!

YummyMummy agony auntHave been in exactly the same shoes as you sweetie and I didn't tell my parents. To this day I don't think my dad knows but my mum does and she doesn't really like to talk about it but that's her. She doesn't understand the whole concept of being bisexual or gay/lesbian.

Sit down with your parents and chat it through with them. Your parents will respect you for coming and talking things through with them.

Good Luck!

I'm now sure how any parent would respond to their 14 year old child being sexualy active but as a 38 year old father of 4, I would discourage sex while encouraging youth. What I mean is that it's perfectly normal to allow a fondness develop into deeper feelings, wheather they're for boys or girls. 14 is the age of sexual development for some teens. Society teaches things such as racialism, sexualism and a few other things for which people should be free to explore and develop their own positions.

Trust your parents. If they love you (and they do) all will be fine.

Good luck.

rachal  agony aunti think that you should just folow you're heart with what you think that you should do. if you're scared, but you know you're parents are cool with it then, maybe subconsciencly you are ashamed of her. maybe deep down you're feeling guilty because yuou know that it's wrong?

well i hope that i was of some help. good luck!
