I am 13 and bisexual and have only told two friends who are both LGBT. I don't know how to tell my family or best friend, who are very religious. What do I do?

You are 13 years old. There is no need for a great big announcement. You're going through puberty. There's definitely a possibility that you will outgrow what you're feeling that you are right now. There's also a possibility that you won't. Your hormones and your emotions are all over the place. It is my suggestion that you relax on your sexuality, go through puberty and simply mature into the person that you're going to be.

No, it's not all puberty and hormones. I'm not advising that this be kept a secret. But I do know that many things change while a person is going through puberty. Making this type of announcement to family and to a very religious friend is going to be hard to get through. It's my advice to take a wait and see attitude about this; if the need is still there to declare then wait for the right moment.

I think that "Waiting for the right moment" is the reason why she posted this question.Danae has already told 2 people so the right time of "Coming out" has already come & gone. Danae has already decided what her sexuality is & i don't believe that having her family believe that she is something that she in fact isn't may be counter-productive. Yes,there is no rush but keeping putting it off may not be the way to go. At the end of the day it's Danae's decision.
