writes:This is quite long, apologies in advance...From the 1st July last year till the 10th February this year I was in a relationship with a girl. We would quite often stay over at each other's houses and sleep together. I was fifteen/sixteen and she was fourteen/fifteen. We broke up because I realised she was too immature for the relationship and in all honesty I wish I'd stopped it months before our relationship actually ended because from the start we were very different in our approach to each other. I think I was in love with her, but now so long after it feels as though it was just infatuation and curiosity.But that doesn't matter - what the problem is is that I haven't told my parents. They thought we were just friends and stayed over at each other's houses because we got on well. We're also second cousins which made it even more awkward. My brother, however, who's fourteen (two years younger) probably knows because he had a habit of looking over my shoulder while I was on MSN, but he hasn't said anything.My parents are getting divorced which makes it more complicated. My mother may already know but hasn't said anything.What I'm asking is how would you approach telling them a) that I'm bisexual and b) that I had this relationship? I find it difficult to talk about most things with my parents; do you think I should just wait until I'm more confident, which may be a few years? Or is it really important they know now?

 No your parents don't need to know about your relationships till you've foundd the one. And definitely don't tell them about your second cousin! i mean what parent would want to know. About the bisexual thing, tell them if you want - if you feel the need to tell them, otherwhise just continue living your life
