I am a 15 year old girl and I go to a strict Catholic school. I have caught myself "admiring" girl's bodies more than guy's bodies (especially when I go to my gym). I also had a bit of a fantasy where I kissed one of my female friends.... What does this mean? I have never dated anyone, not even guys, so does that affect it?? I know that some people say to experiment by dating a girl, but I am way to shy for that... I have no idea if this is just a phase or what. Any ideas??

You may or you may not like it. It doesn't mean you should be labeling yourself and worry about your sexuality. I even dated a girl at one point in my life. Just live easy and don't worry about any confusions you may think you have. Experiment and you will figure it out along the way.

Many teenagers, both boys and girls will compare themselves to their friends and others. It is probably the biggest reason teenagers don't like to shower after gym class.
As for the fantasy of kissing another girl; that is normal at your age. Your going through puberty and trying to figure out your sexuality. There is nothing wrong with experimentation, including sexual experimentation. Although at 15 I would suggest you wait until your older before fully experimenting.
Right now your hormones are playing little tricks on you while they change you from a little girl into a young women. I think it is okay to question and to wonder to learn all you can in a classic theoretical manner. When your older and more mature you can then decide what and how to to use the theory you learned.
For now don't put any labels on yourself. Labels are never appropriate in the first place and in this instance you are far to young to put a label on your sexuality. Just enjoy being you and becoming a young women. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
