lboy agony auntdear reader,

trust me this aint the kinda question that you need our help for, all you have to do is believe in yourself you'll know what you are deep down. but if i had to suggest something then depending on your age i would say experiment with both guys and girls and see whether u like both or if one just does'nt appeal to you at all after words. i think that is the only way you'll know wtiout waiting, but you know if you have feelings for some guys but cannot see yourself in a sexual situation ith them then i'd thnk that you aint gay. just trust that you will find the answer and you will i promise.

good luck

aim agony auntHey! I agree with the 2nd to the last anonymous guy who posted. Though I have a different story. i mean, when i found out i was bi. I liked MEN (not boys...) since when i was REALLY young (like 6 or 7 i think?). i mean i am not femi and all but i knew by then that i liked the same sex. And I thought i was gay. haha. I just found out last year i also had some for women. Weird right? :))

What i really wanna say is, you can never really say a person's too young to know coz' it's all about how mature he is (well i was too mature for my age :|) when understanding and accepting his sexuality. I guess everyone goes through 'the phase' but somehow the experience isdifferent when you are not perfectly straight.

Sorry kid, there really i no right and straight answer for your answer but.. you'll know what you are when you feel something out of the ordinary. ü

You are probably too young to know for sure but you will figure it out soon enough. If you are and continue to be attracted to just guys then you're probably gay.

I totaly agree with the last 'female anonymous reader' except for one thing: Some boys do know, even before the age of twelve.

I always knew! From the age of nine I definitely knew that I was different. I'm not a femi type at all so it just took me some time to realize what it was.

I like to add: there is also bisexuality in several degrees. It's not black and white. Anyway you'll recognize love when it hits you, whatever the gender. When it does: Enjoy it while it lasts!

ok i totally disagree with somethingeasy. there IS such a thing as curiousity. anyway, like dextro69 and dapone 1 said, if 10-12 is actually ur age...ur too young to know, as ur body is continually changing until u past the puberty stage...some ppl even realize it in their 30s-40s. and plus many ppl think they are gay/straight but until they experience both never know for sure...so dont worry, u are what u were meant to be :)

ur too young to need to figure it out anyway :)

good luck!

Somethingeasy agony auntNumber 1 if you have to ask yourself if your gay, then your gay. Just like if an addict has to ask themselves if they have a problem. I for one cant look at another man and go, I want that.

I think if you ask a question like this one then you are not, at your age you get all sorts of feelings most of it is growing pains,changing from a child to an adult, when you get older and mature, then you will know what your true feelings are and then act accordingly.

Dextro69 agony auntat 10-12 it is impossible to tell for sure.

your body is starting to go through lots of changes.

most boys and girls have feeling for someone of the same sex during puberty.

look at this web site with lots of questions similar to yours (all with answers)

http://www.puberty101.com/p_amigay.shtml

even if in a few years you relise you are gay dont worry about it, you are what you are and there anit no-one who can change that.

stop worrying enjoy life and have fun whilst you are young enough to do so. :)
