Dear dick,

Dear Dick Many teens grapple with issues related to their sexuality and sexual orientation. It sounds like you have very strong sexual feelings toward males. It’s important to remember that sexual orientation is not just about physical attraction but also includes emotional connections. No one can tell you if you are gay. Only you can make that determination. That being said, there is no rush to make a decision about being your sexual orientation. It’s important to give yourself the time to explore your feelings and for you to be comfortable with you. If this is something you’d like to discuss further, please call the Trevor help line at 1-866-4-U-Trevor. Our counselors are very knowledgeable about and sensitive to issues around sexual orientation. Trevor
