Hi there. I am a 15 year old gay boy. Recently I have been thinking of ways to "come out" to my parents. I know they will take it well, but I don't know the time and the place to do it.

As I am closer to my mum I was thinking about coming out to her first and then with her surpprt, come out to my dad. I am just nervous about doing it.

So can anyone help.

Thanks!

Dear Poster

Once again my apologies for the mistake with the incorrect posting.

However, as to your problem; It seems as if you have a good bond and great understanding with your parents. I suggest you talk to your mom first; wait for an appropriate time when she is not to busy; make her a cup of tea and tell her you want to talk to her; it will be difficult but, vow, get it out; ask her what she thinks if she wants to tell your dad or if she will be with if you tell him; I think your mom might handle it easier then your dad; thus I suggest you talk to her first.

The sooner you get it out, the better you will feel.

Your mom might have questions for you so be ready to answer and explain to her.

Good luck and best wishes.

Always keep SMILING.

Jack_McVeigh agony auntok dont worry about it. i am gay and my parents took it well. i was in your situation by not knowing how to tell them. well what i did was sat down with my mum and just told her straight out. she was suprised but ok with it. she then told my dad in time. he was a little 'uneasy' with it at first but after a week or so he came round to it andnow he's totally fine with it. just sit down with one of your parents and tell them. i mean at the end of the day its your decision to be gay and they cant do anything about that. dont expect them to come to terms with it straight away, just give them time and i promise you it will work out fine. Good luck. x Jack P McVeigh
