Awkward around bisexual friend


Check these out, too...

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?

I was listening to someone I respect talk about being bi and she was saying that when people are young its easier to think you may be bi because our bodies and minds are going through puberty. And since we start to think about sexual things and our sexuality around now that its sometimes easier to think about something we are familiar with, which is the female body.

Part of that may be true because I have friends who just think guys are gross and their bodies and their 'down there' is just weird looking but that could be because they arent as familiar with it. So when one of my friends was concerned she was bi because she wasnt as attracted to guys, I listened, but since she has gotten a bf she doesnt feel that way anymore.

I have a friend who's bi and it bothered me a little at first but I got over it also it's not something you just start or stop being either you are or you aren't
