About Danielle
Expertise
I can answer questions about coming out to friends, family, others in your life (students at school, other relatives), homophobic people around you, anything to do with one's sexuality, including all the many sexual orientations. I may not be able to give a perfect answer every time, but I'll definitely try my hardest to help.

Experience
I have many friends who are gay or bisexual; I am myself, as well as a closeted family member.

Organizations
N/A

Education/Credentials
I'm still in high school, but I don't think that limits how much I can help someone.

Answer
Hi :)

Go to PFLAG's website/ PArents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. They have resources for parents of bisexuals too. Write out what you want to say to her.Plan for when you two will have an ample amount of time to talk about it. Plan for her the possible reactions she may have, and what you can say that will make the situation easier for both of you. Tell her what you told me-how hard it is for you to hear the things she says, and how hard it is for you to tell her. Go into it expecting her to react negatively-hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Don't tell her if she'll kick you out, because your well being comes first before her discomfort-with time she'll hopefully get over it. You don't need to tell her, you are in no way obligated to, but the advice I gave is there for you if you do feel that's what's best for you.
