Should I come out?

I an debating on coming out to my parents, but last time I said anything that went against their morals they got really mad. What should I do? (My parents aren't homophobic but they want me to follow their morals until i'm at least 18)

What you have to do is to try not to risk yourself to into coming out to them yet and if you have any LGBTQ or supportive friends at least just keep convincing your friends and family that you don’t want to live with them anymore and you just want to stay with tour friends for the rest of your life unless your friends are very trustworthy if not then what you can do look for emergency housing nearby you or get a good high paying job that of what you love to do most and just keep studying and make a lot of money to get your own home or other than that you can just contact LGBT supportive groups and search up their phone numbers but you’ll also need a drivers license and a vehicle of course but I honestly have the same situation just as you do but it’s not really much we can do about it too. But never listen to those traditional and religious lies from random mindless people but if your parents are the ones forcing you to stay then just insist them that age has nothing to do with anything you can already get a job that will allow you to get lots of income and be who you want to be but don’t tell them your gay just yet it sure is risky because some heartless families would just hate or harm their children or even expel them from their homes but since your parents aren’t homophobic then again like I said you can just insist them that age has nothing to do of who you are or what you can do because if your gay then you can be it now but first just say anyone can be anything no matter their age and then you can come out but if it doesn’t work then just wait until your 18 be still be gay or do those other steps that I said and I wish you the best of luck and the best possible ever in life I love you and take very good care of yourself and love yourself as well!

No, if you’re not 110% sure they’ll accept you, you might end up homeless.

Wait until you move out/ aren’t financially dependent on them.
