thought about identity - March 28th 2025, 04:14 PM
I'm pretty sure I'm a lesbian, since I've never really liked a boy before, but I've liked girls. I feel comfortable with that label. But my parents are convinced I'm going to end up a cishet girl. My mom is bisexual and she even thinks I'm just a cishet girl. I know I'm only 12, but I'm pretty confident with this identity choice, but I'm not sure how to express to people that I just don't like boys. It feels like I should, and it feels wrong I don't...

I don’t think you need to necessarily shout it from the rooftops. I’d start by telling your friends that you have been doing some exploration and you have discovered you are a lesbian. If your school allows it maybe you can wear pride colors? Like a bracelet or socks, etc.

The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
