Q: Am I gay/lesbian/bisexual?

A: Well, that depends. Adolescence is a time to find your sexuality and who you are. Your hormones are rapidly changing, and this can often make you feel unsure of your preferences as a teen. Experimenting with friends of the same sex does NOT constitute you as gay, lesbian or bisexual. Unless, of course, you have romantic feelings for that person.

Young women in particular are often confused about their sexuality and may find themselves attracted (sexual or otherwise) to another person of the same sex. If you think you are gay, lesbian or bisexual, talk to someone you know and trust. IF you feel like you don't know anyone who is like that, there are resources for you (which are listed at the bottom of the page.) You can use these websites to talk to people and help sort out your feelings.

There is no magic formula for figuring out your preferences, but talking about your feelings may clear the air for you. Always remember that there are kind, accepting people out there who care. Also, you should never feel pressured to define your sexuality for others.

Here's a question though: There's nothing wrong with thinking that someone of the same sex is cute/good-looking. The thing is, would you want to be in a relationship with that person?

Resources
YouthResource.com
OutProud.org
Resources for GLBT and Questioning Youth

The last website has a list of hotlines you can call. All you have to do is click the links at the top of the page. =]

Also, feel free to reply to this topic with more information if you have any!

Thanks, guys! I also have more to add:
