I am bi as well and realized it when I was 15. I am 22 now and my parents still do not know. It due to the fact I do not beleive my sexual encounters are my parents business. However, when I am in a long term relationship with a woman I will let them know.

Even the boyfriends I have had I don't tell my parents until many months into it. You wouldn't call your family up to tell them you just had sex with a man right?? So don't worry about it until you are with another female companion to help you through that journey.

And don't listen to people who want to verbally condem you. I have MANY religious friends who have NEVER deviated from their scriptures that love me and accept me for who I am and they know I am bi. That is the REAL Christian way.

My family believes Bisexual people are confused and there is no such thing as Bisexuality and they are the ones that spread desease. Well guess what... I've lived my life happy and fine and have no fear of telling my family when I have a long term relationship with a female. Just hasn't happened yet ;)

Take your time it isn't a race its just you discovering yourself. There is plenty more to learn. Don't think you're leading a secret life it just happens to be your private business and as you get older you'll have more of that. GOODLUCK

Tell them but make up a fictional character if they get really upset. If they seem to take it ok then tell the name of your friend :)
