Umm I am a bisexual person and I wanna come out to my parents but they wouldn’t accept me neither would my girlfriend’s parents… Even tho I’m 17 I know I love her… And my sexuality is a big part of me… Should I take the risk of coming out… Would it be worth it?
Hi there!
Happy to know that at least you have finally recognised yourself (because many still struggle and some suffer under their own shadow).
Well, coming straight to the point now, since you said you fear that they wouldn’t accept you for who you are then maybe don’t try coming out now. I understand there comes an urge that why even wait when you know the truth and it’s not gonna change. When you know, you know. But then, there comes a thing called the pragmatical approach. What you are seeking now may not be practical as of now. Possibly, down the lane, when you find your grip firm and stable economically, try doing it then. At least at that point, you can still step into your new life even after your parent’s disapproval. You’ll have something by your side i.e. the love of your partner even if not the blessings of your parents. Currently, considering your tender age I’d suggest you not take this step. There would come an appropriate time for it when you’ll have the means to put forth things in front of them in a humble manner.
Till then stay safe and work hard to make a career.
Hi there! I am around your age and have been questioning my own sexuality. personally my sexuality is not a big deal to me but if it is to you you should embrace that!!! love yourself, I love you and I wish you luck on your journey.

It is not worth the risk if you know they will hate/dislike/taunt you. Study and when you move out of your house, send them a cake or something saying "Hey, I’m bi"🤷🏻♀️
Hope everything works out for you.
Nope, it is not worth it, especially if your parents are homophobic. I would suggest you get financially independent first and after that come out to them.
