I'm bisexual and I'm only out to a selective few friends (i.e. my best friend, my best friend's cousin who's also bi and the school counsellor.) I really want to come out to my parents but I don't know how to. My mum, who I've talked to before about things like this, is accepting of LGBT people but she's likely to tell me it's just a phase or be dismissive of me. (I'm 13 and people seem all too ready to dismiss adolescents.) My dad is definitely accepting and I think he'll be super supportive but he seems to be under the impression I'm a lesbian. How do I come out and just tell them? I'm really uncomfortable with holding back the real me but I'm also really socially awkward so it's likely to be clumsy and awkward if I just come out and say it. Any ideas/suggestions will be much appreciated ♪
Just tell them that this is who you are, that you like both males and females. Just have to assure them that it's not a phase. Tell them that you know that you're relatively young right now but you're sure of your identity
Yeah I agree with Emberblaze... Just tell them and it will all be okay. I remember when I told my mom I was bisexual and my mom replied that she is also bisexual which was kinda awkward but I know I can really talk to her about stuff. I haven't came out as a biromantic Homosexual to her yet though just waiting for the right time hope this helps!
