Hi everyone, I'm 16 and I just came out to my Mum as asexual and I came out to my Dad on Saturday.

 

They were both pretty accepting, which I thought they would be - they're both quite open minded, but they both thought I was a bit young and "might change my mind" which was annoying because they both had relationships when they were 15. A year younger than I am now!!!

 

Aside from that it was good and they don't really care as long as I'm happy which was nice.

Hi and welcome, have some cake 🍰🍰🍰 it's awesome that your parents were so accepting 😊 it can be a bit annoying with the "might change mind" comments. My oldest sister says that to me a lot, despite the fact I'm 21 and never had a crush😁 so I feel your struggle there 😅

 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your time here 😊

Hi! I'm 16 too, but I haven't officially come out to my parents yet. I think I've made it pretty clear that I'm not interested in sexual relationships, but I don't know if they realize that's an actual orientation and not just a quirk.

 

The one I'm really worried about is my grandpa, since he's of the mindset that I'm supposed to be "preparing for marriage" or something, and he definitely doesn't understand that some people just aren't interested in sex/marriage/children, etc.

Welcome! Maybe this will help them understand it better? http://www.asexualityarchive.com/a-parents-guide-to-asexuality/

Thanks, this article is really helpful. I haven't managed to get my parents sat down yet for 'the talk' because life has been manic, but when I do I might get them to read this article as part of introducing the idea to them.
