    Okay i've been bisexual since i was like 11 years old. And my recently found out but doesn't want to except the fact that her daughter likes females. So how do i make her understand that she can't change me. Cause that's exactly what she's trying to do .

    Ugh...

    This is what I mean by ignorance.

    Okay, tell her what I tell my friends when I say I am bisexual.

    One, I don't put gender in people.

    I don't call people guys, and girls.

    There all just people.

    I always say, what if everything, i ever wanted to see in a girl, their personality, their emotions, came in the form of a "Male"?

    Don't people always say don't judge someone based on looks?

    So if everything I wanted was in the form of a male. then I would date him.

    The body part under your pants.

    IS JUST A BODY PART. Nothing else. Your a person. Not a Boy, Not girl. A person.

    Thats my view of things, and thats the way people SHOULD* View things.

    You should tell her that.

    * For the word SHOULD, I am going to recieve critism for it. So I said SHOULD. Not HAVE. People SHOULD see it that way. Not HAVE to. HUGE difference.

    Wow. that seems so wrong! im not trying to dis on your mom or anything... but you are her daughter, she made a commitment the day she found out she was pregnant with you practically to love you. and thats what she should do: love you no matter what you are, like, do, think, or see. thats what my mom told me the day i told her i was bi. she surprisingly took it really well...

    Tell her that it's who you are, you didnt ask for it to be that way but it is, and you like it.. she will learn eventually that she can't change you and it will take time but she'll accept it.

    When you fall in love, does it really matter who it is? Love is love.

    If I were you, I probably wouldn't of told her, it being your sexuality which is really none of her buisness! Now you said, "..that's exactly what.." leading me to believe you have. So, if your mom really will be against it and trying to change you, I would ignore it. If not, tell her straigth, "This is who I am, so that's to bad. You can't change me, I'm happy with who I am."

    Other than that, I have no idea. It really depends on the person your mom is. Some people eventually come around to accepting it, where others may bother you for life. Good Luck

    It really sucks when parents find things like that, my mom found out i had a girlfriend when she was over at my house, i had my girl sitting on my lap and my mom walked in my room she fliped out. that was about a year ago for one year i wasn't able to go anywhere but at the end of the year my girlfriend and i got in a fist fight,and i came home with the side of my face black and blue. my mom thought it was over with me and my girlfriend.

    later that night i called my girlfriend and told her i was sorry and everything. but my mom made my relationship with my girlfriend so strong we are starting on our second year together.

    if you know for sure that your mom will not flip out then don't tell her she will most likely make your life a living hell. thats what happened to me.

    Well when i told my mom she freaked on me telling me i wasn't and all that BS but i gave her time and now she respects it so i going to give you the same advice just ignore what she is trying to do, don't let it get to you. it's a hard thing for a parent to except (sry im not a good speller) so just give her time to get used to it and for now just keep your relationships with girls on th DL

    Tell your mom that you are the way you are and if she doesn't want to lose you then she will find a way to accept it for your sake.

    I'm suprised by this but i actually agree with the whole people are people thing im straight but the way you put it the whole gender thing starts to sound like racism i think your mother may not really approve of it but she still has to love you bisexual or not

    I have to say there is alot of good advice being said, your mum is the one person you should be able to tell any thing to... it doesnt really matter who you like weither its male or female your still going to be that person they love the most, you dont just suddely change because your interests change.... (well okay only some times you change but not for this subject)
