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.

I REALLY want (need) your advice. I don't know if I'm bisexual or not. I KNOW I'm not a lesbian, but when I see othr girls that are cute or hot (like those chicks in music videos or those waitresses at cool restaurants), I start to feel, um... happy, or pleased! I guess... However, I am also attracted to, and would only actually DATE guys! But, cacn you still be classified as bisexual if you're attracted to both sexes but would only DATE the opposite? Thank you.



Hey babe,

I'm actually the same way.  I don't really think you need to class yourself as either.  Sexuality is sexuality and doesn't always fall in just a few categories.  I consider myself straight since I would only date guys.  There's nothing wrong with finding women very beautiful, after all! Jordan S.

I think I might like a girl, and I really want to come out of the closet. No matter what happens, I know that my true friends will be there for me, and people who aren't were never really my friends. Problem is, I don't know how to come out. Any ideas on how to come out? Right now only my close friends know, not even most of my lunch table or any of my family.Please help. Thanks

Hi, I was just wondering, I think i might like a girl, and i want to come out of the closet, but i don't know how. Any ideas?




I so wish I could offer some great advice. Unfortunately since I’ m not an expert on the

matter, I don’ t want to point you in the wrong direction. Try having a chat with a trusted friend. I’ m sure they’ ll be more than happy to help you get things squared away.

A few of my really close friends are gay/bi. one of them came out officially, and the other came out at a sleepover recently. I havent told anyone yet, but I am also bi, and I kind of have a crush on the girl that came out recently at the sleepover, but I already know that she has a crush on someone else... now i have just been feeling like no one will ever like me that way. no guys that i have ever liked have felt the same, and now I know that even one of my close friends feels that way about another one of our friends. how do i deal with all this confusion!? its just all so frustrating!




hey! this must be very tough for you, but I went through the same thing in terms of thinking no one would like me. Before my first real boyfriend I was full of doubt that i would find someone. All my friends had little boyfriends and I really wanted one more as a status symbol and confirmation that my own insecurities were wrong. Only when I stopped wanting that and started trying to make myself happy and be my own person did I find real relationships. that's the best advice I can give you. good luck!

I'm bisexual, and perfectly happy. I don't want ANYONE on here saying it's wrong. I'm Christian, my parents are, and some of my friends are and none of them have a problem with it. There is nothing wrong with being gay or bisexual, a person is a person. We are all human. Guys might make jokes; my guy friends do, but most of the jokes are pretty funny.(: People make jokes about everything. I'm 15 and 4'9", and everyone makes fun of my height.(: There are people who might be uncomforable with you being gay/bisexual, but ignore them. It's natural to be curious, embrace it. After all, we are who we are.Smile

I do not consider it bi/lespbian to think a girl is pretty. Why do you think girls give each other fashion advice, or compliment on clothes or hairstyles?

MOD MOD MOD!!! I neeed help BAD!! I have a bf and we have been together for 9months and I am getting attracted to girls now (like i think they r hot and i wanna do stuff. What do I do?!?! How do i tell my bf that I am (or might be) Bisexual?? ALSO How do i tell my friends??

 

Just have the confidence in yourself to do it, if they are your true friends they will be happy you were honest with them and not judge you Smile

i notice if guys are cute or hot. But i also notice that girls are pretty. Its usually stuff like they did their makeup nice or they have a cute hairstyle though

***********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.

nothing to be embarressed about...

by brodwaygirl on 10/22/2010 5:47:36 PM

 
 

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.

no offense but im with countrycutie12. it says in the Bible that that is wrong. im not trying to be mean though.sorry

by laxchik18 on 10/19/2010 6:44:43 PM

 
 

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.

i'm bi too. i decided to "come out" a few weeks ago, and nobody acted differently towards me. if they're really your friends, they should be fine with it. my friends crack jokes about it too, but don't take it seriously. i just think of it as an icebreaker. i crack jokes sometimes myself ! just remember, you should always be confident in who you are. no matter what people think. good luck hun !

by ohaiitsrachel on 10/10/2010 7:56:01 PM

 
 

Dont worry its perfectly normal u may be different but if people (like your friends) make fun of who u are they arent really your friends.. Just remember theres one of u and thats special its who you are and what your like a lot of girls and boys are bi your not alone..

dont worry about it if people tease they are immature and not good people i have a friend who is bi and the whole school knows but no one teases her about it

by bubbles01 on 10/6/2010 10:39:46 PM

 
 

Just because you make out with another girl doesnt make you bi, I have never done it and probably never will but it could just be a curiosity thing about our sexuality since we are going through puberty. I think you are bi when you start to want and do more than kissing and do what bi girls like to do with each other.

by luckykel on 10/5/2010 9:09:46 PM

 
 

Heyyyy Chicas/Girlies Im not like every other girl that says she gives great advice...I give AWESOME advice.Im just like you going through the same hard stuff as you like school boys clothes and family and everything in-between.Dont be shy.No question is too dumb.To learn more about me check out my profile!

by lolandpeace987 on 9/30/2010 5:15:07 PM

 
 

When it comes to thinking you are bi or not it can happen with some of us because we are developing and going through puberty and movies and magazines are so into showing us so much more sexual than guys. So it could be that we just get used to seeing us in certain ways and become attracted or think we become interested in other girls.

We have also talked about being straight or bi at sleepovers and we all respect each others views but joke that some of us like guys too much to be bi, plus we also joke that if you like seeing guys naked you dont have to be to concerned about being bi. I am not sure if that is true but its funny to joke about it.

MOD My guy friend is bisexual. Before, people used to tease him ENDLESSLY about it, and he would act like he didn't care, but I know NO ONE can take blows for that long. =/ We're in seventh grade now, and more people know him, and know better than to make fun of him. Smile Frown But, every once in a while someone always asks him "Are you a guy or a girl?" and now he's forced to say "both" so ppl won't go off when he answers "guy". And, sometimes it's not their fault, they just plain out say "Oh, she did it!" or "Look at her!" Everytime me or another friend is around when someone asks this, we snap at them and they go away. Tong Should we keep on trying to defend him? Or just let it be..?

 

Hey girl! People can be so mean. I bet your friend is so happy that you have his back. Definitely continue being there for him because being different is hard, and they need people like you to lean on. You're being a very noble person, why stop now?! Good job girl!

Hi! I am fifteen and I think I might be bisexual. For example, I have a crush on one of my best girl friends at the moment. What should I do about the crush? I don't know if she is bi too, but I don't want to hide my affections forever! She's a great person, and would probably understand if I was bi, but I don't know how she would react if she knew that I like her. Please help me! I'm tired of hiding...
please reply soon!!




Hey girl, I'd hold off for now. Making an advance on her is going to freak her out more than anything. Tell her you're bi first and see how she reacts. Do it as a friend right now.

Just because you think girls are cute doesn't mean you would be attracted to them or date them,it can just be harmless. But if you are bi,that's absolutely fine! If the guys make fun of you,well just remember you can hit them but they can't hit you;)

I am in eighth grade and JUST turned 14. All of the other girls in my class shave ... should I start? I really am tired of hiding my legs and armpits, but I am worried about cutting myself or doing a bad job.

 

Hey girl! If you want to shave and you're self conscious about your legs and pits, then there's no reason not to. With a safety razor, like the one your mom uses, or an electric razor, you shouldn't have too much trouble. Go slowly and use a shaving cream, soap, or body wash. You'll be fine, I promise! Talk to your mom about getting started, but in the meantime, check out this post about shaving for the first time.

Ur not bi! I kno sum bi girls and they are bi because they actually would kiss a girl, date them and more. Im just like yhu i might see i cute gir;l and say shes really cute or see a girl wit a big butt and say she got junk! but you know like i wouldnt want to date her. Now if you have a crush on a girl den that makes you bi . Gurl you aint bi you just like wat yhu see and aint afriad to say it gurl embrace that power. Forget what other people think about it because you know what you dont have to even think about them their opinion doesnt count its all about what you think and how you feel. YOUR NOT ALONE EITHER all my friends are like that and like i said i am too.

MO MOD MOD i hav 2 quick questions: wat does toning mean? is it losing body fat, making ur muscles stronger, or both? i think i sorta....kinda...maybe... like this guy at my school! hes nic and funny, but hes als that not attractic and hes perverted. wat should i do?

 

I'm pretty sure most people use "toning" to mean both.  If you're not sure, just keep getting to know him!  You'll decide how you feel eventually.

I am bi and i am very open about it. my friends don't care because they know i don't like-like them. People at my school are gay and bi and straight. nobody cares because they all except it. Don't worry about that type of thing. love doesn't know about gender.

by Schoolgirl1998 on 9/27/2010 6:21:16 PM

 
 

I'm lesbian, and there is nothing wrong with it. It's just a small part of who you are. I'm Madeleine, I work for a theatre company, I play volleyball, I work at a hippotherapy center, I have a sister, and I'm a lesbian. It rarely comes up anyway. If it turns out you are, people don't need to know unless they ask. Its not being ashamed, its just not being odd. Straight people don't broadcast their sexuality, so unless it comes up, its not their buisness

There are a lot of girls at my school that are bi, or think they are bi. IDK, I think some of them are just questioning their sexuality. but anyways, nobody really cares. Everyone is really accepting of other peoples' differences. So don't be worried about it. The people that you want to be hanging out with will be completely understanding.
