why would u WANT to tell them anyway. ur 14, give it time. ur not gonna show up to the house one day with some girl and announce she's ur girlfriend u can pull it off way to easily w/o getting anyone getting upset, separated, banned, punished, ect. and at your age no one's getting married, telling ur family would just make everything complex and a obvious stalkerish mom whenever u meet a girl.

reader, anonymous, writes (21 May 2010): I agree, at 14 you need to give this time. Some find that this is a sensation that comes and goes throughout life, and could gradually fade. Others play both sides from one relationship to the next- my best friend (a woman) has alternated between men and women from about the last 15 years. She didn't come out to her mom (dad's long gone) until about 14 years ago... but she'd been attracted to girls before that.
What I learned from her was that there was no reason to announce it to her mother before then. She'd not been in a relationship, so there was no need.

 Personally as a bi person and being 14, I'd probably wait to tell them until you find a woman you want to be with. You might end up with a man and in that case there is no reason to risk alienating your family.

 I haven't told my family yet except for the ones closest to me, such as my brother and then close friends. I decided that I'd tell the rest of my family whenever I bring home a girlfriend. But so far I've only had boyfriends and see no need to inform my family about my sexual preferences. After all it's personal and none of their business what I do with whom.
