Question - (20 March 2010) 7 Answers - (Newest, 23 March 2010)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Ok so I'm a 15 year old guy soon to be 16. And my whole life I've always felt weird and different. I've spent my entire life either hiding it, pretending i wasn't, trying to force myself not to be, or just denying it from myself and others. But I now realize I am attracted to guys and there's nothing i can do about it. It's gotten to the point that I now have feelings for some guys and that I find myself checking them out either around school or anywhere I go. And I'm really stuck. I don't know what to do....If this is a phase..then it's pretty LONG phase. So I'm starting to think it's not. I really don't know if I'm gay or bisexual...but I know it's gonna frustrate me. I've never been in any relation before and with all the problems and issues i have to deal with in my life..this is just adding on to the list. And now I don't know what to do. Can anyone help me. Any advice is appreciated.

hopelessXO agony auntI know exactly how you feel, except I'm a girl. I too thought that it was just a long phase until I accepted the fact that I am a lesbian. I figured it out when I realized that I wasn't attracted to guys anymore, it didn't matter how attractice he was.

I personally believe that you are never to young to know who you are, some people know really early. I think that if you find yourself checking out guys and have feelings for guys then you are gay.

Hope this helps a little, good luck.

Laura1318 agony auntIt does not matter if you are gay , bi or heterosexual. Your sexual orientation is yours to decide alone and it is none of others business.

From time to time , you may gravitate your sexual preferences from one to another and there is no hard and fast rules .

You are who you are and nobody can change that.

Sounds like u might be bi or gay - its ok to be gay or bi, nothing wrong with it at all,but id keep it to yrself until r really sure, no need to tell the parents or yr freinds right now.

u dont have to sleep with a girl to know u are gay! a gay guy friend of mine has never been with a girl and he has always known he was gay! He is in his 30s now. he didnt have to "prove" he was gay by having sex with a girl, he knew, deep down inside him he knew. Dont stress! - give yrself a bit more time - if u wanna date a girl go for it, but u dont have too, dont let ppl tell you u have to prove anything! you are very young and this might pass, it might be phase, but if its not - thats OK.

focus on yr school work and friends and yr hobbies, stuff u lik to do, whatever.. keep living yr life and dont let this totally stress u out.

take care

There's nothing wrong with being gay, dude. It is hard at your age because other kids can be mean. I think people should wait until their 20s to start seriously trying to date and stuff anyways. You should try to talk to someone you trust, and I suggest a woman because they aren't as judgmental as men are and they are more compassionate.

Daisy Doo  agony auntWhen i was...let's just say younger i though i was a lezzie tbh. But i told myself i was too yuong and it turned out i was right!

But for you it's different, i say let time tell if you end up sleeping with a boy and you liked it and then you had it with a gril and it was not so nice or something then i would sya you are gay.Or the other way round you liked both you are bisexual.

But from here it seems your interested in girls and thats fine.

i think you are gay tbh.

The hardest thing is telling your perants is i may say it's best to tell yoyour most trusted perant who will not laugh and will not think it's a joke.

Good luck with finding yourself mate, best of luck! x
