1. Your parents love you. They're going to accept you no matter who you are. You say they "hate you" for being emo, but you're exaggerating. I know it. They may not agree with your being emo, and your sexuality may hurt and confuse them, but they will love you no matter what.
2. You really need to be willing to compromise with them. I don't mean to compromise your sexuality with them, obviously. But be willing to talk with them. You're dumping a massive, life altering change on them. And it's going to be a lot for your parents to accept. You're asking them to accept a completely different style of life that they've never prepared themselves for, and one that may lead to you going through a lot of hardships. No parent wants that for their child. Be patient. Give them time to come to terms with what you're telling them and remain willing to talk.
3. Please, be sure that if you tell them you're "bi" that you actually are. That you're dating a girl or something. Don't tell them if you're just bi-curious. There's absolutely nothing to be gained from that confession except a lot of pain. Wait until you're sure.
4. Don't ask the Internet for serious advice.
basically everything he just said was a load of crap
more then likely your parents will take some sort of measure like that did with your bro. So if you decide to tell them. Then tell them and be prepared for the consequences... parents are just stupid... -sighs-
Please, take your parent hating, unwarranted teenage angst and redirect it into something constructive instead of your misconstrued self-pity.
If they don't ask, don't tell. People don't go around saying "Hey mom, I'm straight!".
Everyone keeps asking about how to tell their parents or friends and really, I don't personally think it matters whether or not someone tells me. The only time I'd reall;y care to know if a guy was gay would be if I asked out some guy and he said no because he was gay. It doesn't matter and shouldn't matter any time other than a situation like that.
That's just my opinion with my examples.
It's different...they're your parents. You really OUGHT to tell them.
mayb ure parents r different
but obviously they rnt conservative, close-minded, homophobs that rnt AFRAID TO ADMIT IT like mine and others.
