I have had a few minor crushes on a some of my friends and one bigger one for this exchange student. She left a few months ago and I was very upset. But since starting high school (2 years ago) I've had this huge crush on my old english teacher. She must be about 20 years older than me. Obviously nothing wil ever happen but seeing her in the hallway makes me really happy. Is any of this normal?

 you may or may not be gay.. having a crush on the same sex teacher is so normal and common and has happened for years and years and years... even before it was "cool" to be gay and folks kept that hidden.
and yes you are very normal.

It only means that you're attracted to women. Labels won't do you any good, but it certainly means you should explore your sexuality, only then will you be able to know yourself.

Whether it's a choice or not is totally irrelevant anyway, there's nothing wrong with it at all. I would say to just 'go with the flow' - in other words if you fall for a guy then great! If you fall for a girl then that's also great! Don't worry about it too much, it's not that important to define yourself :) Oh and yes of course everything you have said is completely normal! Good luck

Hi, I have a twin sister who is gay, she also dated men between the ages of 14-16 and then came out as gay and since has only dated women. As were identical twins and I've only dated men this leads me to the conclusion that sexuality isn't genetic but something we are all capable of and a choice that is made by an individual. My sister grew up with a lot of gay friends having played female rugby so her social circuit was perfect for experimenting.Why not try going to some local gay clubs and seeing how you like the atmosphere? Confide in a good friend if you can and ask her to go with you... Id just be sure it Is someone you can really trust as this may just be a fad.I doubt that you will ever regret finding out the true you... And if that means having a gay encounter at some stage then that's what meant to be. You can always change your mind. Good luck.
