I'm in a situation now where I haven't told my parents anything really about my life over the last few years. But a LOT has developed - like when I had moved school, i was just very lonely and got depressed (I didn't realise it at the time) and so about 3 years ago I have started having suicidal thoughts and despite my life getting better and i have more friends. I still feel lonely and a massive emptiness which I can't fully describe and I just don't feel like I belong. I've told some "friends" about it and they act supportive but for me it just feels like their words and that I am not wanted anyway and just like the deep feeling that they are all just false friends and merely pity me and hang out with me occasionally just since they don't have the heart to push me away

What doesn't help is that I am neurodivergent (dyspraxic) so struggle with speech and just generally coordination in every department which had lead me to be bullied by everyone - even those I considered a friend which just hurt so much especially as I was often excluded because of it.

I am also Bisexual so there's that as well which I have been open to most people (Apart from my family) - so like I guess the question is whether I should tell my parents about me being Bisexual and having depression and suicidal thoughts? Or anything else I should do?

I believe you should only tell you parentes about your sexuality if you know they won't hurt you in any way. About depression and suicidal ideas, it's something that if you want to get better it would be important to search for some help and even start therapy... Even more when you already have some issues regarding bullying.

Thank you- that's quite helpful. I don't think they will hurt me so I think I will eventually tell them about my sexuality.
