Wow, this is a tough one. You sound pretty young as well.

I really hope your mum, family and friends will be supportive, but this may not be the case. I would start off by telling someone who you are very sure would react well to it. Just sharing with someone is helpful.

A lot of people, especially at teen age, are confused by sexual identity so don't treat theses feelings as permanent just yet. However, do tell a parent as soon as you can, they must have tests for this sort of thing?

When telling parents stuff like this, it's important to use the right words. Don't drop it on them with a "I'm mentally a girl, SUPRISE!" sorta thing, explain how you've been feeling and how useful it would be for you to explore this further. I'm sure they'll understand.

Good luck, honey!

like GreyCat says wile were growin up its easy to become confused, the phase mite pas or it mite not, only tel ppl wen ur sure.......

u cud just b goin fru teenage randoms (my name for the random wave of tears that pop up for the smallest reason and wont stay down no mater how hard u try  or how 1 sec ur all hapy n laughin nn the next ur feelin depressed or how 1 minit ur calm n the next ur screamin at sum1 not noing how u got from one to the other) there probably is sum scientific name for it but i like the name iv given it beter..

y dnt u wait a month or so n try the test again n see what happens, u mite get different results or u mite not, if u get the same results again its time to tell ur parents,but b gentle with them n take into account there feelings dnt surpris them with it, in the meantime tell a trusted frend (when i say trusted i  mean sum1 u no will never ever tel on u under any circumstances) and dey will ofer u suport
