Confused About My Sexuality?? :(

[heythere1234]

Okay so I'm 13 (girl) and I always thought I was straight but when I turned 11 I started noticing girls as well as guys. I came out to a few very close friends as bi but now I think I might just be curious. I have no one to talk about it with. My friends that I came out to try to avoid the subject as it's awkward for them, and I have no GLBT friends.
The thing is I really like this girl in my school but she's not in my class and I never really talk to her. I've liked a few girls but I've liked lots of guys. And I still haven't talked to my parents about it.

So, my question is, what am I?! And how should I come out to my parents?

I don't know how helpful this may or may not be but I think that you should kinda slow it down. First of all you're unsure about your sexuality, which is normal, happens to everyone. So with that being said you don't have to rush anything, especially coming out to you're parents. Coming out is a personal thing and I get that but I think that you should think over everything first. Just to make sure you are not making any hasty decisions.

But if you think that you're ready to come out then you might consider something like writing them a letter (no text messages or PMs though). Another route is asking them about what they think about the LGBT community, if they have positive things to say about everything then telling them could work. For whatever you decide to do good luck and I hope that this helped at least a little.

Well, if you do like both Genders, that could be considered Bisexual. You like both boys and girls. It seems you are going through change, that happens with LGBTQ Youth. Thats fine, it happens to all of us.

Coming out to your parents is a whole different thing. Depending on their views of the LGBTQ Community, it may or may not be a good idea. When I came out as being gay, my parents didnt care really. They were just happy I trusted them enough to tell them.

well I've decided to sort of think it over for a while before I put a label on myself. Then I'll think about coming out to my parents. Fortunately, they've always been very supportive of the LGBTQ community. thanks for your help

I know a friend that came out to her parents at a very young age.
As I understand, you have your curiosities about males and females.
Personally I think that you are at a very young age to be making big decisions like this. (I am not saying it is wrong that you are thinking of coming out)
My point therefore is maybe try dating both sexes and see where that leaves you.
Either way, there it is possible that you will enjoy your experience with one gender than the other.
Everyone has been confused about their sexuality, its just something you go through in life. You just have to experiment with it.
Maybe if you don't feel you can openly do this, my friend was like this, she suggested we played a game of fares when whoever the bottle lands on you have to kiss. This is one way of figuring out if you like boys or girls. It is something that teenagers play a lot so its nothing out of the ordinary
Hope everything works out for you
Pm me if you ever need a chat

thanks actually about a year ago me and my friends played spin the bottle at my sleepover! I wasn't sure how I felt about it. It didn't feel bad but I didn't love it either. I'm not necessarily attracted to any of them though so maybe if I kissed a girl I liked I would feel something. I don't know how to make that happen though

don't rush to label yourself - you're still so young and there really is no rush. as for your parents, i wouldn't say anything at the moment, i don't think it's necessary. unless you feel very comfortable about it and want their advice.. it's up to you.
