    (I have never posted here before so yeah)

    Anyway, I am a 16 year old female and I am Bisexaul.

    Only my friends now I am Bi.

    I need help coming out to my mum and step-dad. But my step-dad is against gays same with my mum.

    I really want to tell them, but I am horrified at what they would say.

    So if someone could please help me, I will take any advice.

    Thanks. :icon_wink

    I know how this goes!! If you feel that your parents aren't going to except it, WAIT!! You are under their financial stability and their home..Things could turn ugly..I would say wait. My parents were fortunate to be accepting of it. I was lucky enough my parents were accepting, even before haha!! But, if it is a danger to come out, wait...it is really the best way you can go. My friend got kicked out at 15 because she announced she was gay...I don't want that happening to you!

    Yes, I agree LeDorkofDorksville--love the name btw lol.

    I really think you should wait just in case they react badly towards you. That way you'll be able to support yourself financially. I told my mom while I was still living at home, but she reacted really positive to it. I actually told her while she was driving, so probably not the best idea. Then again, if you feel like you need someone to talk to, perhaps you should ask them if you could see a counselor. I know what it's like to keep your feelings bottled up. It's difficult not being able to express yourself, but give it time...there's no need to rush :slight_smile:

    Thankyou for the advice.

    It is just killing me not to tell them.
