Same. I don't get it. They are fine with me being gay but I tried coming out to them but they said 'that its just a phase'. I even made a flipping aro ace joke and they didn't even bat an eyelid. I am aro ace though.
I have only had I boyfriend year 7 but now I realise that I just wanted to say that I had a relationship.
It took me 4 years to come out to my parents and understand it my self but they won't accept me.
As soon as I turn 18 I am leaving them forever and changing my name as they want me and my two younger sisters to have children (but my 2 sisters both have a boyfriend so what is my parents problem?)
If they won't accept that I am aro ace then they don't deserve to be part of my life.
I came out at school though, only my best friend (who I see as my sister) accepts me. Everyone else either makes fun of it or is confused so i have to explain it again and again.
It really is annoying.
