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.
