I need advice, bad! I've just started accepting that I'm a lesbian, but I don't know when I should tell my mom or dad.

Please help me! I don't want to lie to my mom and dad anymore, I know I'm only 12, but I've known that I'm a lesbian for a year now.

Nibblet agony auntWell you dont have to tell them right now. im bi and i also hate lying to my parents but i think they dont need to know right now. Im wait to tell them if and when im getting a girl friend cuz then theres a reason to tell them but till then in not going to. If you feel that you need to tell them it would be easier if you had someone to help you tell them like a gay friend or relative it just easier that way. or you can bring up a gay celebrity and see how they react.

Hope this helped

Good Luck!!! just message me if you want to talk

BigSis agony auntFinn is right, chill out, relax and be yourself, by not saying anything to your parents ~ doesn't mean you're lying. You may even cause them unnecessary upset.

You're 12 yrs old ~ you are now officially beginning your journey into the mad mad world of the hormone rush, and your body is going to be changing from now, and in a matter of months, a year or even more, you will more than likely be experiencing all sorts of feelings for boys, girls, older men, older women, teachers, doctors, Sumperman, Spiderman, Wonderwoman or whoever.

Just enjoy looking forward to becoming a teenager and make the most of it. You're doing just fine.

Luv BigSis xXx

By not telling them, you're not lying. Why do you think they need to know anyway? It's your private business and just coz your 12 doesn't mean you're not entitled to your own privacy. Personally, I'd hold off from telling them at all and let them figure it out with time. You are not compelled to tell anyone about your sexuality. Think of it this way: if you were straight, would you feel compelled to announce to your folks " Hey, guess what? I really fancy guys!" Course not. Chill about it, relax and just be yourself.
