I came out recently to my parents as Bi, But i think im actually gay, i want to tell them, but i just dont know how, i have told my 2 close friends and there both fine with it, there is also this exstremely homophobic boy at school and im going back tomorow!!! HELP!!! Ta. James.
ok, let me get this straight. you are bi, but think you're more gay. you have told 2 friends and your parents. well, you could probably tell your friends easily your parents will be slightly harder, but not as hard as before. now I'm confused. who's this kid at school who's homophobic?
I don't think there's any need to come out any further at this point. You're 13. Your parents and friends know you've got a "non-traditional" sexuality already. I mean, you're more than welcome to keep them "updated", but I don't see any major need to. Lex
oh I'm in practically the same dilemma, personally I think you need to figure it out in our own head, you caould tell some friends that you think you might be gay, but (unless you're parents are very understanding and easy to talk to) dont mention it to them until you really want to! now, this homophobic kid, where does him come into all of this?
Yeah, I agree with Lex. Just leave it as is. If they took your bisexuality well then you have nothing to worry about. If you end up dating solely men, does it really matter?
If your parents are cool with the fact that you are bi, they'll probably be with the fact that you are gay. But as Lex said, you are only 13, give you some time. Changing the label will not change who you are. And if things get sticky at school with this homophobic guy, don't let him bully you and report him. School is a place where you should feel safe (this is a teacher advice). Take care, Eleanor
Don't pick a label until you are absolutely sure that the one you picks is the one. Also i would kinda advise against telling them because in my mind that would show that you are confused and they might try to pull that "its just a phase" crap. but its your parents so its your choice.
