I think your parents do need to know. I played college softball so I have been in contact with ALOT of lesbians. And they all said they wish they would have told their parents earlier and it would have been easier. just a suggestion. They will love you no matter what!

It says you are 13 to 15 so you are hardly going to be bringing serious boy/girlfriends back to the house.

Don't tell them until you need to. If they are closed minded then they will probably not believe you anyway as many people think Bisexuality is just a phase or a teenaged thing.

Wait till you are older and they have less on their minds.

Good Luck!! xx

Frankie14 agony aunta lot of people experiment when they're younger, i did and i went through a phase of thinking i was bisexual, but yeah at this age you're open to new things and your mind's all mixed up, not meaning to be disrespectful but it could be temporary, wait a while before telling them and if you're absolutely one hundred percent sure, then sit them down, this shouldnt be treated as a crisis and they have to love you regardless, i would maybe tell one of them at a time, because you might feel a bit ganged up on if they're together, then ask questions, see if they ever had any experiences, and then drop it in that you may see girls the same way you see boys, and how it's not going to change so there's no point in them saying anything to you,, well good luck x
