You can deal with it! You need to talk in a calm way, go counting slowly and explain your side. I know that you can do it!

Be honest, and to the point. It's important to do it at a time when they are least busy like after dinner during family time. Express to them that this is what makes you very happy and you would hope that they still love you the same way. You can also bring a friend or a family member that can be there with you to fully understand your situation to help guide the conversation.

First you need to know that they would be okay with it. If there is any chance you could get hurt for coming out, dont do it. Wait until you are able to support yourself. You should be confident. There is nothing wrong with being gay.

It is best to state quietly, calmly and be ready for their inquiries or concern for you. It is to be expected they will want to know why you came to the decision you are gay and when and how you feel about it and that you feel safe and okay with it.

They probably already know. But, you can sit them down at a good time and tell them there is something you have to tell them and it is very important.
How you tell them is really something only you can word correctly. Be honest, be strong and realize that they may be surprised and you may not get the desired response ... at first. If there are issues ... direct them to pflag.org/. good luck.

Perhaps instill a trusted friend or family member to help you relay the information to your parents in a mutual, calm setting.

Do you feel you can chat with your parents? If not you could always write them a letter or maybe perhaps get a close friend to support you whilst you tell your parents! Good luck,
