reader, anonymous, writes (11 November 2009): Hey. I realized I was gay when I was 11. I just knew. Taking a cue from the previous posters, it does sound like you're still not 100% certain about your sexuality. Speaking from experience, I don't know if someone can be straight one minute, and gay the next. You might have tendencies, but I see it as more of a realization process. You could be "straight" and like girls, and experiment with a guy. Wait until you're 1000% certain that you have zero SEXUAL attraction to girls, (don't get this confused with emotional attraction as lots of new gays do) and then tell your parents.
To answer the question at hand, how do you tell your parents? Just know that you're wonderful the way you are, you're powerful, and it's okay to have whatever sexual orientation you want. Be gentle and brave with your parents, and prepare yourself for a lot of questions. They might have them.

Id say wait a good long while before telling your parents although i am gay and have known pretty much forever things your saying do leave some room for doubt you say your not attracted to girls anymore sounds like you were before so if anything perhaps you are bi but right now you are only thirteen and no offense your parents arent going to take you seriously more than likely until your round 17 or 18 for now explore your feelings with this guy and see how it works out. you will have more experiences as you get older so let yourself be out there trying things out before you make a decision

The only way to tell your parents is to come straight out with it "Im Gay" :]
