I’m 17 and gay. When should I tell my parents? Most of my friends know and they are 100% supportive about it, but I’m not sure if my parents will be the same. Even if they pretend to be ok with it, I’m pretty sure they will feel disappointment inside and that’s the last thing I want. I’m not too camp, so I think it will be a bit of a shock to them, and my Mum is convinced I’m on it with some girl from college. Some of my friends say I should tell them now, and some say that if I don’t need to tell them for any specific reason, then leave it until I do. I’m going to be leaving college in May and going to university (or some other path which requires leaving home) in September. What should I do?

First of I’ld like 2 say KEEP THOSE FREINDS CLOSE! Supportive freinds are not found very often. If you hold off on telling ur parents 4 2 long it will only get worse. Your parents luv u so when ever u feel most comfortable tell them. I know it’s not easy but things will get better after awhile. Ur parents will luv u no matter what u throw at them(and I mean word wise they might not like a plate 2 the head)
