Here's the problem, when I was about 12 or 13, I started geting attracted to boys like expected, but for some reason I liked girls too. I never told anyone because they would just say it's a phase. But as I grew up the problem's bigger. I'm now almost 16 and have been put on anti-depressants, but all I need is advice. Can anyone help me? Reply to this Question

I am more worried about the fact that you have been prescribed anti-depressants for this 'problem' than the fact that you are attracted to girls. Many people are bi-sexual, this is not an abnormal state of being. However I understand that at your age it all must be very confusing. I implore you to talk these issues through with someone in a position of trust, e.g. school counsellor. Anti-depressants can be addictive and dangerous and unlikely to be the answer. Hopefully a counsellor can help you accept that you are NORMAL and not in need of drugs. I do hope that you can talk to someone soon and wish you the very best of luck and love x

OK, there is nothing wrong with you liking boys and girls. It can actually be quite normal, i'm older and still have feelings towards both sexes. Your right, its not a phase, and when you tell people try to actually get them in your shoes. There is no way everyone is going to understand, but try and actually talk to someone that you know will take you seriously,
and last sweetie, just because you may not be the same as the next girl next tyo you, doesnt mean you should be depressed. You need to be proud, because its your opinion and life. Dont worry this is the right place to go, and know that we are always here for you.
Sincelry always here to help! :)
