Question
i'm bi. how do i tell my boyfriend that i am? i'm scared of what his reaction or response might be because of it.
Answer
Well honesty is the best policy, unless you do not trust his reaction, in which case it may not be a very healthy or supportive relationship, and if not, leaving it might be a good idea.
Assuming he really likes you and is supportive of you, telling him that you are bisexual is important, so he can decide if he can live with your attraction to females, or if he would prefer to just be your friend.
