Answer 1

If you want, you could wait awhile. I saw your other question, you said that no one else in you school is bi or g*y, but how do you know that? There have been and still are more people in situations like yours. What you need is someone you could lean on. Someone to back you up. Usually parents love their children no matter what, but then sudden, unexpected revelations throw them off. They might either hold it against you or themselves. It is a rather precarious thing. You should really stand your ground, because once it goes out in the open, and if your parents are really strict Catholics, then it might be rocky road for you. It also depends what kind of relationship, and how strong it it is, how close you and your parents and family are. Maybe find that one person or people you're really close with, to tell them first. Then they'll give direct support (hopefully). It's good that you don't want to hide anything, and want to be yourself out loud and proud! If things don't work out, at least you have my support, and many other people's as well. People really need to start abandoning the fears passed down by the people who lived centuries ago. I really don't know, it's up to you, but with whatever you decide on, good luck. You have many things to consider. What you want, what you don't want to happen, and what might happen. You'll finally get that off your chest, but that doesn't guarantee that things will get easier. You could check out this website, and try calling their hotline, if you really need to talk to someone.
