I'm Bi, How Am I Supposed To Tell My Friends And Family?
I'm sick of being stuck in the closet, but I also am worried about my friends and family accepting me. How am I supposed to tell them with out it being awkward, or having them think less of me.

First of all, I'd like to make sure that you are aware that being bi, or gay, is not anywhere near as big a "taboo" in modern society as it has been in the past. Unless you live in bible-belt, homophobic America, you will probably find that it's not a huge deal for any of your friends or family.
What I would do in that situation is choose the friend or family member with whom you get along the most, someone that you trust, and try broaching the subject indirectly, maybe with reference to someone else who you both know who is gay/bi, or a celebrity who is gay/bi, and make your judgement on their reaction - tho, don't forget that sometimes people have defence mechanisms for anything they are unsure of, and might be negative about the idea when really they aren't - hence me suggesting you find someone you are close to, so that you can try and judge if their answer is genuine or not.
All of that said, however, please keep these things in mind...
- Is it nesc that you tell them? Are you actually in a same-sex relationship now? And, yeah I know, not giving full disclosure to the people around you *can* be a lie of omission, but look, it's your life... It's your business. You don't have to feel like you *have* to tell them.
- Most teens go through a period of being "bi-curious", and just because you've gone out to a nightclub or whatever and kissed someone the same sex as you, this doesn't nesc make you bi. It just means that you've got hormones going totally crazy, and your sub-concious is looking for a way to output that!
So what I'm saying is, take your time, think it through, and remember that your life is your life!
Hope this helps!

Look first you have to slide it in to see where every one is coming form then when you know who hearts beats on your side then you come out and say it but remember that you have to follow your heart and if no one is there with you then you can't love someone to make the next person feel better where will all of us be if we love someone to make the next person feel better who don't have nothing to do with the relationship

You have to just tell them. Be prepared for them to try to talk you out of it or be disappointed in you. If they love and respect you it will all work out. Make sure you let them know this is who you are and you have to be you. Good Luck!

If your BI who do you like most.girls or boys?you either like one more than the other.it don't matter because it's going to maker your life
miserable.do you think a girl friend is going to let you have sex with
some boy?And do you think your boy lover is going to let you have
a girlfriend.
What are you going tell your parents?
Till you find out about your feelings I wouldn't say anything.
Be like the others,date girls but don't go all the way.
