If they love you, they will understand. Well maybe not understand, but atleast accept it.
------- Hopefully that made sense.

Being 'bisexual' doesn't seem like a very 'major' confession to me.

I, personally, would not tell them. If they can't accept you for who you are, they don't need to know.

I feel the same way, sort of. I don't give a fuck what my dad would think at all, but my mom... is another thing. I'd like her to know. I just don't know if she's understand or accept it. My family is a little homophobic. =/ On the other hand, I feel that my sexuality isn't their business, and they don't need to know. Don't feel bad for not telling them. Sexuality is... a personal thing. If you really want to tell them then tell them. It might be easier if you wrote it down as a letter or whatever, or you could give them a shock and bring home a girlfriend. ^_^ If they don't like it, if they do freak out then that is essentially their problem. I know it would hurt you that they'd have problems with it, but really if they're too narrow minded to accept their daughter who finds men and women attractive... well bugger them. They'll get over it in time.

Coming out to your parents can be intimidating and scary. Know that every family is different and there's no sure way of knowing how your parents will react. Generally, most parents go through these stages: shock, denial, guilt, expression of feelings, personal decision-making, true acceptance. This process, however, can take years, and not all parents will ever be accepting. The best way to decide whether or not to talk with your mom is to ask yourself these questions: Are you sure about your sexual orientation? Do you really want to declare it at this point in your life? Are you comfortable with your sexuality? Do you have the support of friends and family? Are you knowledgeable about the challenges that are faced by people who belong to sexual minorities? What's the emotional climate at home? What's your motive for coming out now? Do you have available resources to care for yourself if your parents decide not to because of your sexual identity? Are you financially dependent on your parents? What is your general relationship with your parents? What are their views about sexual orientation? Is coming out your own decision?
------- If life is a waste of time, and time is a waste of life, then let's all get wasted together and have the time of our lives.

If you know the truth does more damage than good, then why tell it? Seems they can't really handle the truth, so I don't think it would be in your or their best interest that you told them. If anything, keep it to a need to know basis, but otherwise don't tell them until you are older and it doesn't effect you so directly since you are under their care.

Your sexuality is your concern and not theirs. Its different later when you are older and then you are sure of it. For now I will suggest that you keep it to yourself.
------- Just do it

May I ask why you feel the "need" to tell your parents? I don't know, I think sexuality is sort of a personal thing, and not everybody needs or want to know your sexual orientation. You are what you are and you should be happy with it, but that doesn't mean that you have to tell your parents, especially if they aren't going to accept it. However, if you really want to tell them, perhaps writing a letter to them would make it easier on you. Doing it face-to-face might be intimidating. Or you can just take your mom aside, and tell her alone, and she can tell your dad. Just know that no matter how disappointed they might be, they love you and they will get over it. Of course, you don't have to tell them if you don't want to.
