First let me say I don't like putting labels on things especially a persons sexuality. I will say why below.
To answer your question, since yo did not give your age, I believe you are a young teenager. What I think is that you are like millions of other teenagers who are trying to define their sexuality. This is puberty at its finest, with all the new hormones floating around in your body it is easy for a teenager, boy or girls, to be confused at first. Many teenagers will be more than confused they may even experiment with their sexuality.
Experimenting with their sexuality does not mean they have to label themselves as being gay, straight or bisexual. You may end up being any of the above. This is something you should put off deciding until your hormones are well under control, which will be closer to the end of puberty. Something that occurs between 18 to 21 years of age.
As to labels: I don't like labels, they are a major source of problems especially when it comes to sex. For instance should you feel you're gay. If you are still in school and decide you gay and label yourself as such. You are leaving yourself wide open for gay bashing. Why? Because teenagers are the worst when it comes to prejudices. They have been, for the most part, taught to be intolerant to Gays, lesbians and bisexuals. For them that means more than just ignoring those that are. They Seek them out and make their lives miserable or outright look to hurt them.
If you are Gay, Lesbian or Bisexual at this time in your life; their is nothing wrong with this. But it is not a time to label yourself as such. Though I truly believe that most teenagers at this time in their lives who are questioning. What they are really doing is seeking answers and have not yet defined their sexuality. I use the word defined as you or anyone else do not chose the gay life style. Being gay is not a choice it is something you are born to. This is something that just now the medical field is just recognizing so it will take time for the population at large to understand.
For now my advise is not to label yourself; just explore and find where you are most comfortable with your sexuality.
