How do I come out to my parents?

Sit them down, and gently explain to them your situation. Let them know that you are still the same person, you just love a little differently.

Sit them down and say to them, there is something I’ve wanted to tell you for a while now, and it’s been bugging me for a long time. Mom, dad, I’m _______

Coming out is a very personal experience. First of all, you need to decide if you really want to do it, analysing your personal situation. The way you come out to others, especially to your parents, depends on how you deal with the subject and on how you expect them to deal with it. Some people might have more understanding parents, others might get in real trouble for coming out. This experience must be dictated by you, and only you. If you've already analysed your personal situation, you can decide on the best way to tell your parents. Some of them might need a little preparing first, because, unfortunately, sometimes it ends up as a shock. Maybe you could start telling them a little story, giving them a little background on your life, kind of directing them to the matter. Then, you could say that nothing would change, that you're still the same person and that you'd like them to know the real you, to get them closer to your life. After smoothing the path, you could come out. Of course, this is one of many ways to so it. Everyone has their own. Just make sure you stay safe. Some people might need a bit more of time to come out and that's okay, there is no right time for doing that. You need to feel comfortable and secure. Good luck!

Make sure you won't be endangering yourself when you come out Make sure you have a reliable friend that you can sleep over if your parent kick you out Make sure your parents understand the termonology, do this gently, "hey did you know..." or "I found this term at ... today, ... I think it was, it means ..." Remember your safety is your current main and biggest concern I understand the urge to come out but if it is not safe do not come out I don't mean to press this but it's important If you need amy help there are plenty of listeners oh 7 cups Hope this helped -pop

Keep it simple, don't apoogize, you don't have to be sorry for a beautiful person you are. Be patient, answer their questions. And give them time.

Just sit them down and tell them the truth and how you feel about it. Also tell them why you made the decision and how has it changed you.This will help them understand and accept the decision that you have made.

It can be hard to determine if your parents will accept you. I was lucky enough to have a mother who came out to me first. My dad, though, I had no idea. I knew he loved me, I know he still does. So one day I just told him 'Dad, I'm pansexual.' on the way home from dinner. That was that. He's asked me about it since, but the point is, it can be hard and it can be super scary. But it's okay, even if they dont like it, even if they get mad or dont accept you. Because you were strong and brave enough to tell them in the first place. Thats huge!

This is always a hard question because we don't know your situation. So in general: Get some support. Take a look at Thetrevorproject.org. If you can and your parents will help you find a supportive counselor to help you understand your situation and help you understand if your parents are able to be supportive. The first rule is keep yourself safe. I wish you peace. J

Simply talk with them, explain to them everything you feel and the most important thing is to do this when you feel 100% ready.

Coming out was really difficult for me, i was extremely scared. I kept putting it off. I finally worked up the courage over family dinner. I sat my mother and aunt down for a discussion. It took me a while to say it. Luckily their response was positive and accepting. The best you can do is try.
