Summarize this article:

Try to sound confident when you are talking. To do this, speak in a calm, clear tone of voice. Do not dance around the issue. Speak directly and say what you mean to say. For example, you could say, "Mom, I want you to know that I am bisexual. I'm comfortable with who I am, and I hope you can be, too." Your parents might be surprised to hear that you are bisexual. They might not know much about what that actually means. Be prepared for them to have a lot of questions. Try to answer them as honestly as you can, but don't feel like you have to share anything that you're not comfortable with. For example, you could say, "This isn't a choice, it is the way I am." Be prepared for questions such as: "Are you sure?" "Why would you make this choice?" "Don't you think you'll grow out of this?" Your parents might be really confused about what being bisexual actually means. For instance, they might wonder if that means you like boys 50% and girls 50%, or if you have a scale. It's important to let them know that it's not a black and white issue. Explain that you are attracted to different people for different reasons. It will be helpful for you to answer their questions. It's also a good idea for you to help them understand by giving them additional information. Overall LGBT resources will be useful, but you can also ask your local support center to give you some information that helps to explain bisexuality more specifically. Gather some pamphlets from your local LGBT community center. You can also ask for some informational material from your campus LGBT center if you are a student. Provide them with some good websites to check out. They're more likely to be supportive if they are better informed. You can't predict exactly how your parents will react. Think about possible different responses, and figure out how you will respond. Remember that the initial reaction does not always indicate how they really feel; they may need some time to come to terms with the news and accept it. For example, they might be in shock first but come around to acceptance and support in a short amount of time. Some common reactions are: Shock Anger Sadness Dismissal If you're closer to one of your parents or trust them a little more, it may be a good idea to talk to them first about being bisexual. They may be able to help you or give you advice on how to tell the other parent.
Speak clearly. Answer your parents' questions about bisexuality. Provide resources. Be ready for different responses. Consider coming out to one parent before the other.
