what stupid excuses did u parents make? obviously theres the usual "its a phase" blah blah blahhhh but wot else did u get? my mum set up parental controls & wot not on the internet & put a time limit on it for each day so it wud just cut off.she wanted to know who i'd been talking to online!!!! oh & no more watching Graham Norton. :roflmao::rolleyes::bang:
I came out when I was 21. My Mom tried to tell me that I hadn't been with enough men yet. I told her that she hadn't been with enough women yet. Yeah, that didn't go over so well. We ended up not speaking to each other for several years. We now have a great relationship, but it took years to rebuild. Bottom line - be true to yourself. Your parents might say hurtful things, they might not. You'll know when it's the right time to tell them. Don't get upset if they lay blame on themselves or make dumb statements about how many sex partners you have or have not had. It doesn't matter. What matters is that you KNOW that you're gay. Embrace the truth about yourself, be true to yourself. At the end of the day, you have to look at yourself in the mirror and like what you see.(*hug*)
Let's see. . . my mom asked how I could be sure if I hadn't actually had a boyfriend, and my dad wondered if it wasn't just a sort of curiosity. Fortunately, nothing too extreme.
My dad thinks i havnt tried it on with a girl. so theres the chance im not. for some reson i don't tell him im not a virgin... He also says ive always been one to be different and that this is just another thing for me to be different at. He clled me a big gay frek last night when he was drunk (i make him sound like an alcoholic) then he appologied nd said he's okay with me being gay... then poipped his hed round the corner and said (more of a singing really) "BUT YOU MIGHT NOT BEEEE"
My mom said "phase" once, but she had guessed beforehand anyway. Apparently me telling her just made it official. My friend's parents and my grandad think I'm just going through a phase.
I can't decide which would be worse, your parents telling you that you're wrong about yourself or giving more action-based punishment, like removing rights or therapist dates.
