What should I do?

[Insomnia]

Hey, furry friends.
     I want advice from others because sometimes my friends can't help me. I am an asexual and also, of course, a furry. In the next few years, I will finally be out of high school and be an adult to the government.
    Being an "adult" soon, should I tell my parents that I am asexual? Or is it really necessary? Your sexuality is your personal business, but should your close love ones know?
    I am just curious what others will think of this situation. You guys have probably heard it million times, but I am not scare of telling my parents that I am asexual. I am curious if it's really necessary.
    Thanks.

I don't think it's necessary to begin with. Whether you are seen as an adult by the government or not, that's just the 'officiality', so to speak. You're an adult by law now. If that makes sense. Your thoughts, opinions, body, etc. doesn't simply change because you happened to be classified as an adult.
Meaning to say: Nothing has changed
So if you want to tell your parents regardless, go ahead, but don't let the motivation be just because you are classed an adult x3
If you feel it's your own personal business, then keep it to yourself. If you feel you want to tell your parents, then by all means ^^
It's really up to you, adult or not.

I guess I would take the approach of only telling them if it seems necessary or pertinent. If you were gay, for instance, it would be hard to hide that after a while if you were in a relationship with a same-sex partner. As far as I am aware (and please correct me if I'm wrong), I would think that being asexual doesn't carry that same level of outward visibility. Maybe if they asked you why you haven't found "the one" yet or some crap like that then it would be a good time to tell them.


That said, if it is bothering you that they don't know that you are asexual, perhaps it would be best to tell them soon if it would help take a weight off of your mind, assuming that you think they would be cool with it.

Hi taygentigershark,
 
i think that it isn't a must do to tell your parents or anybody else that you are asexual. And i think it isn't necessary to tell now just because you are furry or get out of highschool or being adult soon. Being adult change in the end nothing. You don't need special agreements from your parents and the life is easier when you life anywhere else from your parents far away for example.
But everything else runs the way it was one minute before you become an adult
It's just on the paper.
Just be  the way you are. You can tell it in principle everyone you want to tell and in principle everyone hide. If you feel better or you want to talk with your parents, family  or anyone, then tell them that you are asexual. But finally it will nothing change. Maybe the insider don't ask you something about sexual stuff. Or have a good hint or maybe will tell you a bad word. It doesn't mean that anything run specially differently with your lifepartner. I know here a few asexual pairs, who are lucky and pairs with one asexual who found a solution.
That's the only  necessary part you need to talk about with your partner. To find a solution if she or he are not asexual.

I've got an idea through you Michen.
It would be maybe good too, when you ask your parents what asexuality is. You could ask because you heard it as a hearsay in highschool over someone for example. Then they tell you what their definition of asuality is. Then you know the way they think about it. Then you could turn the conversation that it is the way you feel or you don't and you let it be. Maybe you could tell them what you heard (The right view or your unique one). And then they don't get a suspicion that you are asexual if you don't want.
That's then dependant from your emotion and feelings.
