All my friends are extremely accepting, and I feel great now... Except for one thing. I am not sure how my mom will react.
My mom said (a few weeks before I came out to my friends) this:
"There's no such thing as bisexual. Either one or the other. Bisexuals are just confused."
I know I like both guys and girls, and I'm scared that if I tell my mom, she'll deny it, harass me about it, and jump to the conclusions of bisexual stereotypes such as me being "a confused desperate slut who wants to do everyone she sees."
I have had relationship problems recently, including going on a date a week after my previous boyfriend broke up with me. Both her and my dad imply that they think I'm kind of a slut, and I don't think telling them I'm bisexual would help me get rid of that image in my parents's mind.
So... tl;dr. Should I tell my parents that I'm bi, even if they don't believe bisexuality is real?

I suggest you rent a documentary or book on bisexual behavior. And if she says, "No, I know everything there is about bisexuality." don't listen to her. Force her to learn about this. Also, I suggest you sit down and write a letter to her about what being a bisexual means. As for the bisexuals are sluts thing, ask her if she has ever wanted to hook up with every man she saw. She'll probably say no. Hope I've helped!

First of all, what's wrong with bisexuality? Things aren't always concrete. If people can like one sex, there are other people that cna love the other sex, and there are people who can like both. It's not like all women like men and vice versa because we know that s**t is out the window rolleyes
Second of all what's wrong with taking charge of your sex life? It's your sex life and not your parents. As well, if people have issues with you being sexual, perhaps they may need to get over their insecurities before they judge your sexuality - which to be honest, thye shouldn't be judging in the first place.

Well, because I'm still rather young my parents still have control over my love life. But definitely, they shouldn't judge me about my love life. I think someday over the summer once school is out, I'll sit down my mom and talk to her about it.

So, subconciously, for some reason or another, she doesn't WANT bisexuality to be real. sweatdrop

Shilberu Erikku All assumptions are based off some desire. So, subconciously, for some reason or another, she doesn't WANT bisexuality to be real. sweatdrop That's far to broad a statement to be even remotely true, but just in case it has an application here, it would probably because she doesn't understand it... But really her ignorance is shocking and disturbing.
