So about 8 months ago I came out to my family as Bisexual because I wasn't sure if I was a lesbian or not because I kept denying it. Now I realize I am a lesbian and I accept it , but I'm nervous about telling my parents because they took me being bisexual a bit difficult. they kept saying "it's a phase." " it's from your depression, it's messing with you." But I know that it isn't any of those things, I've always known I'm different. I've tried about 10 times in the past few months because I don't want to keep this side of me a secret from the people I love anymore but each time I try I can't get it out, I just freeze.. I've known I've had feelings toward girls since I was about 13, and I'm 18 now, I just feel like I need to tell them before it's to late and they somehow find out. I just don't know how to tell them. What do I do?
This is what I would tell them: "Mom, Dad, you guys were right. It was just a phase. I'm not bisexual, I'm a full blown lesbian." You're not the first, nor the last person to use the bi label as a transitional identity. If you want to tell them, just wait for a good opportunity and do it. There's no really good way to break it to them, if they're not OK with it.
