Hello Agony Aunt, I have recently came out to some of my friends as a homosexual and I am worried that when I am older my parents will look down on me for this. Have you any advice on coming out to them before I am at least 18 - 21? I am nearly 15

Do you know the most important thing is that if you are sure you should talk to your parents as soon as possible. As a parent I would be so sad if I thought my child was struggling with an issue as big as this without my love and support. Choose what anyone says young people need their parents more at your age than most people would believe. It has to be the most confusing time for you.

Tell me, if you knew that you would have your parents unconditional love and support now and in the future, with what ever issue you have, what would you do?

Can you be sure you are gay at your age? Don't forget it is illegal to practice homosexuality at your age so don't go rushing into anything.

I think if your parents love you then there won't be a problem. They may find it a bit difficult at first but should come round once they get used to the idea.

They might already suspect as I did with my gay son. Even from an early age we knew he was different and this proved to us that you are born gay, not made as some idiots would have us believe.

Good luck with it but on no account stress yourself out about it and certainly wait before committing to anything.
