Confused Teen

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 03/05/2005 - 14:38. Gay Issues and Problems

Hi everybody, im a 16 year old girl currently in High School. Right now I am facing a big problem with my sexuality. Many times before many kids at my school have told me how they used to think I was gay, which I'm not or atleast I dont think so. The whole football and baseball team even thought so, I even had to defend my sexuality the other day. They all thought so because of the fact that I tend to hang around with alot of girls, some which are bisexual, but just because I hang around the people I do it doesn't necesarilly mean that I am, right? I've thought about being bisexual but it just really isn't my thing. I do admit I do sometimes catch myself staring at a girl a little too hard but it's just because what she's wearing or something she might have really intrigues me. I respect anybody else's choice of being gay or bisexual, but once again it really isn't my thing. Does this make me sound stupid, or am I just defending my sexuality a little too offensively? What if I did turn out to be gay? Would there be anything wrong with that? I need help, I'm so confused yet so young to be worrying about this kind of stuff. I would sure appreciate any advice that you could give me.

Don't stress over this

Well, to start, i'm a 17 year old girl and know exactly what your talking about. I say don't worry about it. I consider myself straight but yes, i do look at girls sometimes. But who's to say what is "too long". I mean as far as the attraction that would lead to a relationship, i've never felt that for a girl. But i can still see girls who i find physicaly attractive. I think it moves to the next step when you actualy want to act on that attractiveness.

But even if you do find yourself wanting to experiment with girl physicaly, there is nothing wrong with that. Be who you are and don't let anyone tell you its wrong!

Just be yourself

Don't worry about what others say or think. Be friends with the people you like. concern yourself with the character of a friend, not his/her sexual preference.

When you find yourself attracted to someone you will know. Don't second guess yourself. If you question yourself too much you will never learn to trust your instincts.

When you get to the point where you have confirmed that you are attracted to males, females (or both), just remember to always be safe- use protection. Be a good and honest person always- especially to yourself.

as for the sport teams opinions just remember this, teams are like herds, they all do the same thing at the same time, and they follow the biggest- not necessarily the smartest, member.
