Am I bi? I'm just not sure

Lately, I have been having feelings for boys and girls. I know it’s okay to be bisexual or gay, but when I try to convince myself I am bisexual, the feelings go away, and when I try to convince myself that I like boys, I have feelings for boys and girls. Is this just part of growing up? I’m only 12.

 

 

Dear Bi Bye,

Why try to convince yourself of anything? Just relax and enjoy your life. Most people are straight, but if you end up realizing that you’re gay or bisexual, that’s completely OK. Someday your questions about sexuality will have much clearer answers.

I'm attracted to males and females (and presumably other genders/or the lack thereof, just never met anyone who doesn't identify as male or female) but my sexuality is fluid. I'm always attracted to males, but my level of attraction to females varies. I don't like labeling my sexuality, and I don't like people making it sound like you have to fit neatly into a little box, because no one perfectly fits into every little labeled box. If someone were to ask me I'd say that my sexuality is fluid or I'm non-heterosexual, but I don't identify as one specific thing, and that is perfectly fine. As a female, I am aware that my sexuality may, and probably will, change over time. (Female brains are wired differently, meaning female sexuality can change throughout the course of your lifetime.)

MOD MOD MOD
So a few months ago my friend told me that she was bi. I still love her like a sister and it hasn't effected our friendship at all, but it's against our religion to be bisexual. It upsets me a lot and I'm not sure is she still is, but it's such an odd topic and I'd hate to bring it up...what can I do? Please help meFrown Thanks <3

 

Hey alexia_directioner<3, you should respect your friend's sexual preferences. How would you feel if she told you that she didn't like you being straight? While that is your friend, her personal interests are her business. Just because she likes boys and girls doesn't mean she's a different person. She's still the same friend. Just accept her for who she is. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile

MOD!
I'm only ten and I'm bi, but am I too young to know what I am? One of my friends posted a status saying she's bi and someone commented "You're too young to know what you are." on it. She's the same age as me. I'm scared to tell people at school about it though. Help!!!!

 

Hey BriannaM911, I don't think you're too young. When boys say they like girls, or when girls say they like boys no one tells them that they are too young. I think it's only because some people consider being bisexual and homosexual as weird or a phase that a person grows out of. If you feel a genuine attraction for boys and girls, I think you are bisexual. You know you better than anyone else. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile
