I've always thought that I was straight. I'm a sixteen year old female. I've been watching this show and I began to realize that I had feelings for one of the female characters. Some scenes where she's kissing other girls really turns me on. I've also realized very recently that I have feelings for a girl a year older than me who just graduated from my high school. I've just lost interest in the boy I'd been crushing on for a few months and have been texting and chatting with this graduate instead. I don't know if I'm making all this up in my head or if I'm really bisexual. I don't want to make a move on this girl because I'm reasonably sure she's straight, plus what if I kiss her and it turns out I'm not bisexual after all?

Im only a 13/F and I used to think I was straight, but I had always had an interest in girls since kindergarten. Anyways, if you want to find out if you're truly into girls or not, you need to be with one, or at least kiss one. You can kiss girls in role play (if you use that like me), but that doesn't really answer your question. The kiss needs to be physical, but only when you're ready. After that kiss, you can determine your preferences. For example, maybe you're straight after all, or perhaps you're a lesbian. Most likely, you'll be bisexual, but prefer one gender over the other, like me. I'm bi, but highly prefer girls over boys. As I was saying, you need to physically kiss another girl to truly determine whether or not you like women, and get to know the graduate's orientation before you assume that she's just into men. Many people are straight, but perhaps she has feelings about you and is willing to try something. [ forever_gone13's advice column | Ask forever_gone13 A Question ]

On a side I've met more girls who were bi sexual in my life than straight or lesbian. It appears to be very common these days, so just think about girls, look around some more and see how they make you feel. Have fun. [ OpenMinded's advice column | Ask OpenMinded A Question ]
adviceman49 answered Wednesday July 8 2015, 9:23 am: You are probably not bisexual. Given your age and where you are at in puberty I would say what you are is sexually curious. Most teenagers do experiment sexually with someone of the same sex at some time during their teenage years; both boy and girls. Why do they do this? Simple it is safe and less embarrassing.
You may very well turn out to be bisexual but for right now I would not put a label on your sexuality it is too early to so. Losing interest in a particular boy does not mean you have lost sexual interest in boys.
Question, not to pry but are you still a virgin? Meaning has a boys penis actually penetrated your vagina. This is the definition of lost virginity today when intercourse occurs even for a second. If you have not had intercourse with a boy or sex with a girl it is extremely hard and wrong to put a label on your sexuality just because you have feelings for someone of your own sex. This happens to all of us especially in our teenage years as the hormones of puberty confuse us.
I'm not saying go out and have sex with a boy or a girl and decide which was better. IT would be wrong and you still won't be able to tell for certain if you are bisexual or not. What I am saying is relax, your normal for your age and just let nature take its course.
When and should you find you are bisexual, if you are still in primary school keep it to yourself as this label is not one well understood by kids in primary school. It is better understood and accepted in college. There is nothing wrong with being bisexual just as long as both parties are consenting to sex of any type there is nothing wrong with it.
