ADVICE | ALL ABOUT YOU | GIRL TALK

Am I bisexual?

 

I feel like I might be bisexual, but not because I feel sexually attracted to people of the same gender, just emotionally and physically (like thinking a girl is REALLY good looking, you know?). I don't want things to get awkward with the other kids at school, but it's hard to be myself around them.
 
My friends are guys, so what if I am bisexual and they start cracking jokes or act weird around me? I tried talking to my mom, but she changed the subject after five minutes. I don't know what to do or who to talk to.
 
It sounds like you have a lot of sexual confusion, which is totally normal! Many adolescents question their sexuality. And even if you’re not bisexual, it’s normal to notice that girls are pretty, and to enjoy being around females for emotional support. That’s what friends are for!
 
It’s OK to be unsure of your sexuality, but it’s important to surround yourself with people who you can be yourself with and who appreciate you for who you are. If your guy friends don’t realize your awesomeness, then maybe ya need to make some girl friends, too. It’s good to have friends and mentors who you can talk to about this stuff, but it’s also important to talk to your parents. Sometimes moms don’t really get it the first time—try broaching the subject again or else talk to your school counselor for tips on how to chat with your parents.

***********MOD*********** I'm bisexual but I don't know how to tell my dad, 'cause every time I try to tell someone something I mess it up and it ends up worse then it really needs to be. How can I tell him? How do I bring it up without just saying out of the blue 'I'm bisexual'?

 

 

Hey girly! It can be super hard coming out to the rents, but I give you so much credit for wanting to do so! One of my best friends just came out to his parents. I would make sure to bring it up when it's just you and your dad. Let him know that you need to talk to him, and ask if you could set up a time, or even do it over dinner. If his reaction isn't great, then don't be discouraged. He might just need time to process it.

Look, I'm bisexual, and there is nothing wrong with it. It's who you are attracted to, and trust me I felt your pain before. in 7th grade, I knew for the first time that I was.. i'm now in the 10th grade.. but people will make fun of you and crack jokes, sometimes they dont mean to, and you are just going to have to stand up for your self. My parents are totally against it, but they accept it because I'm their daughter. Your mom is going to have to deal with it and you need to let her know that.

Also, alot of guys will think its hot. they will make jokes about that, because my guy friends do. sometimes I laugh with them, or if it offends me, I tell them. If they make jokes that you are uncomfortable with, tell them, otherwise, they wont know..

I also suggest that if you have any friends that are girls.. keep it that way. dont let your sexual or emotional attraction to your friend throw you off. i made that mistake, and my friend and I started dating. but we split up.

yoyozozo, everyone has different opinions on people being bisexual. She maybe be thinking its just different because when you are bi, you arent just attracted to guys and doing things with them sexually, you like doing things with girls to. Everyone kind of has their own opinion about the subject so its good that we all respect each other no matter how we are.
