Xander69 I say it's the telling your parents that you're gay part of it, my mom freaked when she found out my sister was bi and dating a girl, I swear she almost had a heart-attack when I told her I'm gay and have no interest in girls at all. It's hard though to tell your parents, my friends were easier to tell that I'm gay. I think I'm mom is alright with it now but when we first told her, i swear she wanted to kick us out, it was scary. NO kidding, she almost tried to banned me from seeing my grilfriend, remember that? You were one of the first people I told because I already knew you were gay. You were the easiest person to tell 'cause I know you'd be understanding. I'm glad mom is over it. But remember when you told her about your boyfriend... that didn't go down to well. Poor mom both her kids have interest in the same sex xd oh well can't be helped eh xander? geez... that was the hardest part of coming out, dealing with the parents neutral

I've only told my friends that I am bi...I think I MIGHT tell my brother. I'm a bit....afraid to tell my mom, cause it might get to my dad really quick. I'm...a little scared about that... stressed <-- To the maximum....I just don't know how to tell my mum without her spreading it to my dad and I hate it when my dad starts all these talks.....My brother is gay, I can tell my dad doesn't like him. That...bothers me a little bit. People really shouldn't discriminate against us...Anyway...I gotta go. If you wanna see a pic of me, just PM me...I'm only 13, though...0_o
Regards and love,
Salem

I am Bi...I have come out to my parents but not my grandparents or all of my friends...but I think they'd still be my friends...if not then I'll still have lots of friends that would still love me for me...I hope but anywho the hardest part was the timing because my dad is always at work and my mom hardly listens to me unless I am bleeding and I am surpized when she hears me then...it's all about the timing...oh yeah I am 13 too so it is hard

The only two people I've told about my bisexuality are my mother and my best friend (she also happens to be bi and currently has a girlfriend). I couldn't dare tell my father - he's a bit of a bigot; and I haven't told any of my other friends at school yet, because I've just finished my first year at a new highschool. There are a few other bisexual girls there who I hang out with a little bit, but I just didn't feel comfortable coming out and having everyone know, because I was new and a Freshman and the quiet type and no one really knew much about me (and I still feel like I'm living a bit of a half-life, because I haven't gotten very personal with any of my new friends yet, but maybe that'll change). I was considering letting on over this summer or next year, but it's still a bit iffy.

my "coming out" wasn't that big of a deal. One of my friends had recently come out as bisexual (to me and my parents) and somehow she came up in conversation, and i was just like "Well i am too" and my parents didn't even blink. my mom says she was sure about it a while ago, and my dad could care less if i like a guy or a girl so long as i keep the sex toys out of the living room from now on (sorry about that, Daddy). And since about 1/2 my friends are bi or lesbian, it's just kinda like "yeah, so" None of us really care. i'm pretty sure my whole high school (all 300 of them) knew, and no one cared. If you know the right kind of people, it doesn't matter at all.

I haven't come out yet because, frankley, I'm not sure if I really am bi.
I mean, I know I like teh shex, but I haven't yet met a guy that I could truly love. That's not saying I never will, but it is saying that I have my doubts.
If I were to ever come out to people, It'd be slightly easier for me because I have no family to worry about, just friends.
Also, I'm going to have to agree with the "not lying or advertising" thing. I think that that's a really dumb way to approach it, and it strikes me that most people who do are doing it for attention to distract themselves from their personal problems. I could be wrong, but that's just how I feel about it. *shrug*
