It’s confusing

Question:

Hi. Recently I’ve been having feelings towards other girls. Sexual feelings. The same feelings I have towards guys. It’s confusing and scary to me. I’ve had friends come out and then their parents turned away from them along with their friends. Because I have feelings towards other girls does that mean I’m bisexual or is it just a part of growing up?

Thank you for writing to Trevor. Many people go through the feelings
that you are going through right now so you are not alone. First you
have to ask yourself what this means to you. If it does mean you are
bisexual, how do you feel about it? Is it something that you think you
can accept and/or want? There is nothing wrong if you do infact have
feelings for girls and you are bisexual. You said you have friends that
have come out, talk to them. Tell them how you are feeling and listen to
what they have to say. Things change while you are growing up in many
different areas. Sexuality can be one of those changes but only you know
what they mean. Also remember, if you are having these feelings and you
do think you are bisexual, no one says you must come out. Coming out is
a big step and should only be done when you are confident to have the
support and feel safe. There are website, like Trevor space where you
can talk to others who have the same feelings and are going through the
same things. Talking to others that are going through the same thing as
you often helps a lot.
