I was just talking to my friends one day and casually, without looking at them, I said, "So, I'm bisexual, guys."
There was a small silence and then one of my friends laughed.
Then they all told me they had figured and knew I had a girlfriend and that they themselves were bi too.
Just say it casually and if there's an awkward silence, just go back to the topic you were talking about before. :3
Worked for me. Might work for you.

I sat my family down and was just like "I like girls, k?" except not as casual. Just say something simple like "I like both genders gaiz." Except without the 'gaiz'.

maybe just slip it into the conversation, example "wow that chick is hot" when a pretty girl walks by.

My best mate when she decided to tell me she was bi, her exact words were, "You might hate me for this but I'm bi and I have a girlfriend." Simple, just tell your friends but I suggest sticking to your closest friends first before going to the less close friends. One of her friends wasn't happy about her being bi but they're still friends so really you've got nothing to worry about.

Thanks for all of your suggestions, but see at my school one day someone noticed on my Facebook it say I like girls and guys, and that entire day people were talking to me about it and stuff. Honestly it wasn't the greatest experience yet. I just don't want to be ridiculed by family, or friends, or people at my school.

you just have to realize that not everyone out there will accept you. one of the people i came out to in highschool stopped being my friend becasue of it and it really hurt me, im still not sure if im happy i told her or not becasue it made me go into a bit of denile about being bi for a couple years. i didnt even tell my bisexual highschool boyfriend that i was bi

though if they are friends worth having they will see that your orientaion does not define or change you and will stay by your side regardless

This is gonna sound bad, but it totally worked for me.

I told two of my closest friends that I was bi. I trusted them fully, 100%. I also knew one of the two was a bit of a gossip whore. So, I purposely was like "Hey, so, I trust you, I'm bi." And they were completely open and accepting about it. They told the rest of my friends. Then they were all like "You trusted me and I told your secrets I'm a bad friend" and I'm just like "lol there's a reason I told you first". It helps a lot. Of course, not everyone can or will accept you for your differences. A great bit of advice that you gotta learn with sexuality and openness: You can't make everyone happy. Do not try. Just work on making you happy.

Ok to me is sounds you might be in a consvited town or go to a school with very closed minded people. I've been out for 7 years now and never have people made a big deal of it (unless your my parents and seem to forget that your only child likes boys and girls) but I made it clean to my friends that I was bi by talking about boobs with the schools sexiest guys (no joke they were my friends. Similar musical likeings) and gave them avdice from a bisexuals point of view. It's smart telling your friends at first then your parents. But after a while your friends will come to accept it. Don't worry
