I don't have the best relationship with my dad but I do my mom but I am afrade to tell them that I am bi. I am 17. I have three brothers also that would judge me and I have had a hard enough life already so do you have any way that would make it easier for me to tell them that I am bi? Reply to this Question

I cannot really give you advice on this other than to say, be true to yourself.
To misquote something "Let all that you say be true but you do not have to tell all the truth."
I do know someone on this forum who may be able to help from personal knowledge of what you face so if you send me a private message I will forward it to her so she can contact you directly if (and please accept that it is if) she feels she can help.
Good luck, be patient, and do not despair.
By the way, my own eldest daughter is lesbian and was terrified of how I would react so when I did find out and did not react as she expected the end result was that we are closer now than ever. As she is adult now, I can honestly say we are more friends than parent and child. So there is hope.
All the best.

 Why do you need to tell them or the world that you are a bi?
You know the wrath you will incur if you let them know. Is it worth the risk?
Be a closet bi until you are independent.
