I tell my parents? |
|||
|
I feel that I'm gay. Should I tell my parents? How do you think they'll react? |

This is a tough decision to make and, ultimately, only you will know if and when you should tell your parents. But Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), an organization with chapters all over the United States, offers some tips.
PFLAG says many gay and lesbian teens that come out to their parents feel closer to them afterward because the relationship is more honest. They feel relieved not to be keeping so huge a secret anymore. But, sometimes, parents aren't so understanding. They force their teens to leave home. Some get abusive. And some family relationships are never the same. |

* How do your parents react to gay people in general? Listen to what they say about lesbian, gay, and bisexual people and ask some indirect questions. And think about your relationship with your parents. |
