Not sure if this is the right category to ask this question under, but anyhow, I'm Bisexual, I've only told one of my friends and he's been really supporting, I'm worried about telling my friends because they're always talking about how girl on girl in anyway in gross. I'm worried that they'll leave me because they're not very close to me as they used to be, same thing goes for my boyfriend, we've been dating for a year and he's jealous of every guy I talk to, I don't want him getting jealous of girls now because I'm Bi... I don't know how to go about telling people, or if I should tell them at all. Should I tell my friends or my boyfriend? Or just leave it between me and my friend?

Well I think you should tell them,if you have feel that you need to do it.If they are your real friends and if they really love you,they'll support you no matter what,just like your friend who knows

Why is it so important to tell your friends at this point. If you decide to tell them they will either accept you or not. Be prepared to lose some friends and possibly develop closer friendships with the ones you have now.

Do it at your own pace. I started by telling one friend, then another, then I just put it on my myspace and let people react. My friends are all super supportive. I'm 16 and came out a month or so ago. I'm afraid to tell my parents though because bisexuals disgust my mom. My friends said being bisexual is a phase and that it didn't exist which is what made me afraid but they all surprised me and I know they really care now.
Hope it helps.

If they are your true friends then it shouldn't matter to them.
It does have a lot to do with age though, if you don't mind how old are you?
Young teens tend to be less understanding than if you were older.

A friend of mine told me that he way gay when we were 16 years old. He had known for quite some time but was too scared to tell us for fear of us rejecting him.
He even told us over the internet so we couldn't hit him (poor boy)
Of coarse none of us had a problem with it, he was still the same lovable guy he always was, that piece of information didn't change who he was inside.

Personally I think you should tell your friends and you boyfriend. If they really are your friends they won't care and they will support you, if you bi or not you are still you nothing is going to change that. You will find out who your friends are and just remember you are still you no matter what
