My sister and a few friends know I'm bi, but my parents and most of my other friends don't. How do I tell them?

You should be the best judge of when, where, how and even IF you tell them. It sounds like you're ashamed. I don't think you really have to be so black and white about this issue. The need may never come up to explicitly tell them, and I don't think you have to neccessarily kick open the closet door with a bang just because you think that what's expected of you. It doesn't always have to be such a strict and formal thing. Rushing into something like this is one of the worst things you can do. Just use your logic.

Honestly and openly. Coming out is one of those times where you put all of you out there and are at the mercy of others. You'll lose some friends and your parents will spaz for a while, but in the end nothing will really change. A few unfortunate people get thrown out of the house or disowned or something like that but I'm 27 and have been out for 6 years in a large city and only met one person that that happened too. Just remember that your parents and friends aren't stupid and they know you're gay they just haven't faced it yet. Don't fear...tons of us have done this and we're all still alright smile You'll make it through and be glad you did it smile
