Hi Kristen, My name is Kristine. I was scared to tell my mom too but i did and she is very supportive. I know it's hard my situation is very simialir to yours but i told my friends first and it turns out that some of them were bisexual and you know your sister says that stuff probably because she doesn't know and maybe if she did she wouldn't say the dtuff you did, but im not sayin tell if you're not ready cause that could be bad but i would really like to talk with you cause it would be nice to know more people who are bisexual and it seems to me you need a friend.

I'm very glad that the friend you told was so supportive! That's great news. Let that be a reminder that not everyone will reject you when you tell them. There are definitely people who will stand by you as a bisexual woman, and the community here is definitely a part of that. Feel free to share more of your feelings and your coming out process here.

There's nothing wrong with being bisexual. If your sister is calling you a lesbian, it's because she doesn't understand. And the only way to educate her on what it means to be bisexual is to be true to yourself and be honest with yourself and others (when you're ready).

It's taken you some time to grow comfortable with your sexuality, so it may take others some time to get used to it as well. Even if you tell a friend or a family member and they react badly, that doesn't mean that they hate you, and it doesn't mean that the relationship is over. You just have to show them the wonderul person that you really are, and go from there.

Good luck!

yeah it definaltly took me along time to ever tell a friend. think i kinda knew this since i was in 6th grade but i didnt know it was real at the time. it seemed time mme like a phae but i know its not anymore. the person i told actually have many oher friends she know that is different. she didnt mind she was telling me to try to tell my parents that im bi bu im not ready yet. i wish i could but im always shy and not very talkative but i first found this website by looking for surpote groups. so i can build confindence to tell my parents. you people on here are so nice and surportive. you people are the bomb. thanks again.

sincerly, kristen
