I'm about 99.9 percent sure that I'm gay. I just wanted to know if I'm old enough to be sure of this. I'm 17 yrs old and I know that when your 13-16 you go through that phase sometimes. The last thing I want is to finally get the guts to tell my parents, and then realize it was just a phase. They'd never trust me again! While I'm just about sure it isn't a phase, I needed some advice on whether to tell my parents. I think that they will be understanding. My mother always says that she has no problem with gay people, and my father's ok, but you know that once they find out it's their own daughter, it may be a little different. I actually have a huge crush on a friend, but she is a fairly conservative and religious person, so telling her would probably ruin what little relationship we have. So, the question is, do you think I'm old enough to let my parents know? Thank you so much.

Wait a bit before you tell your parents. Just to make sure. Or for example you could tell them your bi. That could make things easier for them. And about the girl, I know relious girls and all that so if you don't want to ruin your friendship I suggest you don't tell her.

How do you mean you are 100% sure you are gay? Have you never liked a guy sexually before?

Of course your old enough to know your gay ive know i was gay since i was 14. Its up to you when you tell your parents. Just be prepared for a negative reaction even if you think they'll be ok with it you never know how they will feel when its their own daughter. if your scared of it being "just a phase" you need to do some serious thinking. Think about your future do you see yourself with a woman? Can you picture yourself having a happy, healthy relationship with a female?

Personally, I think you're old enough to know. However, if you think your parents wouldn't trust you if you later said that you weren't "100% gay," then how about you avoid labeling yourself 100% anything. Here's what I would say:
"I just want to let you know, I have a crush on my friend. This friend is female. I'm not sure if I'm 100% gay, but I think I am definitely bisexual. I want you two to know because I don't want to keep any secrets from you."

Thats a good idea- that can't be too angry about that, shows your honest want them to trust you, and yeah. I think thats an amazing way to tell them.

there is no age limit to know when you are gay. Once you notice you like the same sex, thats pretty much when you know. THOUGH< try to to tell anyone until, you are 101% sure!
