Boonridge McPhalify agony auntwait till you're a bit older. if you are as it states on here between 13-15 then i think there is a higher chance of things going wrong and you not being able to deal with it for any number of reasons. even though i am gay i do realise that sexuality can be fluid and at your age some people go through a gay phase and then change to heterosexuality, and just as many stay in the homosexual phase.

i for one have had experiences with women when i have been under the influence so i can see what the other side is like, but when sober its men all the way.

when your about 17-18 is probably the best time as if they do react badly you can move out at 18 and find work long before then, which gives you a back up as it is impossible for people on here to predict how your parents will react as you know them better than we could ever guess at.

A female reader, Moo's Mum New Zealand +, writes (19 September 2011):

Moo's Mum agony auntI'm a parent of a total tomboy girl and I love her to pieces. If she told me she was gay I have to admit I would be disappointed because it's not what I imagined for her but I would still love her just as much as I always have. Because she is still the girl I gave birth to, still the girl who used to wrap her little arms around me and tell me that she loved me, still the girl who made me laugh with her impressions and still the girl who cared when I was upset about something. Still my beautiful girl. What I'm trying to say is that telling your parents will be hard and they may be upset but love will prevail in the end.

All the best my friend you will be ok!

I think you should, but then again wait awhile before you just jump and tell them if your nervous. Sit them down and calmly explain that your just not into girls, most of the time the result could end up like a love it or hate it kind of thing. I hope this gave you a little courage to tell your parents:)

Sophie Anne agony auntDear Anonymous,

You might feel better once you hear this:

A dear friend of mine was struggling for sometime to come to terms with his sexuality. He was gay, and tried to convince himself he was straight for sometime. Once he realised his feelings weren't going to dissapear, he told his parents. Understandably, his parents needed time to adjust to this change but overtime, they learnt to accept him. My friend is now able to date boys and love freely, without feeling burdened down by a heart wrenching secret.

There is no certain way to tell your parents that you're gay. Your parents may react in different ways when you decide to tell them and may have formed many impressions of you, as you grew up. Remember that they may be caught off-guard and be surprised or even shocked.

It is best that you are comfortable within yourself and as happy about yourself as possible, before telling your parents. If you are having confidence issues, you might benefit from joining a gay/lesbian youth group or confiding in a close friend or relative beforehand.

Good luck and remember, you deserve to be appreciated, respected and loved for who you are.
