Answer 1

Start by leaving little hints... they will catch on...

Answer 2

just tell them im sure thell like you for who you are and if they dont well it dont matter cause its ur life!!

Answer 3

look, id like to say that their your family, they should accept you for who you are. but thats not always the case. my best friend is g*y and in the same situation. she cant tell her family because her familys homophobic. she has just decided to do her own thing and not worry about tellin her family until if they ask one day.

maybe thats not the right way to go about it, i dont know. but thats just what shes doing so thought id let you know.

i say just go on with your life, do your own thing and see what happens. I think alot of drama will result in you just suddenly telling them. your family doesnt NEED to know.

Answer 4

You should tell your family and friends whenever you feel like you're ready for them to know. Don't feel pressured or feel like they're gonna stop loving you or something. Your family and friends will love you no matter what and if they have a problem with it, that's all on them. It's your life and they should accept you for exactly who you are. Good luck hon' (:

Answer 5

I would tell them and this is my story of coming out to my mom. My friends I just told them.

I text-ed my mom and said that I need to talk to her and it is very hard for me to tell you. Then later that night she asked me what I needed to tell her and I just told her. She was like how do you know, but I never answered that question. She said that no matter what she will be behind me, but yes she would prefer for me just to like girls, but no matter what I choose later in my life, male or female, she will stand behind me. I was personally shocked when she was so accepting.

Answer 6

tell the ppl you trust. then tell the others and tell them to stick it in their juiceboxes and suck it if they dont like it

Answer 7

wait til ur 18, because they might take things away like the internet, etc.. they might think its a "phase" just wait unless they r totally not homophobes
