 Hey Toriana,
Don't get what all the fuss is about boys? Kissed a female mate just to see what it's like? Have a crush on your sister's best friend? All these are signs that you could be gay. Or you could be 100% straight. Or somewhere in between. Sorry, it's not that simple.
Figuring out your sexuality isn't a matter of gathering evidence, it's about how you feel. It's normal to be sexually attracted to the same sex sometimes - it doesn't necessarily mean you're gay.
But if you've felt this way very strongly for a long time, you could be bisexual or gay.
However, as a teenager, your sexual feelings can be very intense and it's completely natural for your attention to jump between different people - and different genders - quite frequently.
This can be confusing. It can also be exciting. Enjoy and explore at your own pace. Sexuality doesn't develop overnight, so don't be in too much of a hurry to put a label on yours.
You're not alone
It's commonly believed that at least one in ten people is gay. That's about the same proportion as people with blonde hair.
On top of that, it's likely that some of your friends are curious about the same things you are. Remember, if you've kissed a girl that already makes two of you!
