told them when i was 16-phase lol
anyways i had aburning desire to tell them. my bf didn't and you don;t have to lie. just be yourself and your parents will work it out. i mean how do you lie if they ask if you have abf just say no its not like you have to say i have a girl though. my parents are religious also i have converted my mother lol. shes cool. any loving parent would be. don't stress yourself out about telling them. i ened up looking like a drama queen lol.
good luck if you do though! xXx

 I would think long and hard before as you say 'coming out' at the moment. At your age , presuming you are coming up to exams, do you really think that creating more stress for yourself by them maybe having a negative reaction to this is worth it?
I mean, I understand completely that you want to be honest with them and yourself. But at the moment I think that if you believe you will get an almighty row over it then it just isn't worth it ...yet.
When you are 18 they cannot stop you living life how you desire. BUT whilst you are still below this age they might make things really difficult for you.
BUT on the other hand, are you sure that they will give you this trouble? You just never know...
Good luck hun!

 No problem little_miss. I hope that if you decide to tell them that it all works out okay for you. Just know that however they react, all they really want is for you to be happy.

little_miss is verified as being by the original poster of the question thanks CD that really helps to see another person's opinion on this.
It's just telling them would be really hard my family is really religious so if i told them i'd be basically dismissed, my parents would be ok but it still be hard. i guess i will have to try...
thanks again CD

It's not really any of their business whether you're straight, gay or bi but if you want to be honest with them then that's completely understandable. Just be straightforward with them. If you're nervous about them making a scene maybe do it in a semi public place.
