ADVICE | FRIENDS | DEAR CAROL FRIENDS

Awkward around bisexual friend


I have a close friend I’ve known for almost six years, and we are in eighth grade. She just told me she’s bisexual. She asked me if I’m OK with that. I don’t want to hurt her feelings and still want to be her friend, but it’s been awkward. I want to tell her how I feel.

Dear Friend is Bi,
 
So tell her. You could say, “Of course, I still respect and care about you, but I am confused, how did you realize you were bi?” She might reply, “it’s personal,” but she could welcome the chance to talk. In this millennium, kids are barraged by images of sexuality. Many teens announce they are bi (attracted to girls and guys) before they’ve kissed anybody at all. Perhaps girls shouldn’t rush to declare sexual learnings when sex is still such a long way off. Nonetheless, since your friend put herself out there, why not share your questions with her in a sensitive and non-judgmental way?

Honestly, why should it matter? Girls can love girls, boys can love boys, girls can love both, guys can love both. Love is love, you can't really change that. It's kinda stupid too to use the word "gay" or "lezbo" and maybe "bi" as insults(stupid, weird, etc..). Last time I checked, a person's personality is what counts, not sexuality.

I have a friend thats bi, and I kinda expected it, so I'm just fine with it. I've known her for years, and me and her other friend came together to get her through her issues with cutting. I would never abandon her, especially not now

I'm bi and I only told 2 of my best friends and they were so nice about it and I feel like I'm gonna cry cause I'm so happy they aren't treating me different! It just makes me happy because I used to hate myself for being bi but then, I realized, if everyone really would have been better off with out me, I wouldn't have been born.

MOD MOD That is really freaky, I was just about to submit for help on a almost identical problem as that other girl.My friend thinks she is bi, but I do not really think she is. But I still want to support her, even though my religious beliefs conflict. How can I still be her friend without killing my religion.




Hey girlie -- just because it is not a part of your religion does not mean you can't be her friend. There are tons of people in this world who may not have the same beliefs as you, doesn't mean you can't be friends with them Smile
