dear Tk, welcome to the site and thanks for posting your comment in which you may feel a bit left out of it, but in retrospect your not, so firstly please feel at home here.
What sexual orientation you want is totally up to you, no one can change you, nor can you be forced to change, this feeling is entirely up to you, no matter what other people say, it's your life.
I do understand the apprehension in regards to your family and possibly friends, and being at your age of 16 would make you nervous, but then there are parents who would accept on how you feel, and perhaps you are scared for no reason, that is something which you will have to tell us.
Being young there could be a chance that you decide on being gay, hetersexual or continue on being bi-sexual, no one knows and only time will tell, and only you will make this decision.
If either of my two sons came home and told me they were gay or bisexual, so what, it wouldn't worry me one bit, life still goes on, they are my sons and I still love them, and whether my wife (ex) was upset, so what, it's your life and not hers, I am only surmising this as my sons have grown up and I am divorced.
Can I ask you a question, and only answer if you want to, how are your parents, are they strict or open to some sort of change, and another one is who knows at the moment, siblings or any friends.
You will make up your mind as time progress's, but I would like to hear back from you when possible. Geoff.

hi tk, thankyou for coming here and posting 🙂
i myself am gay i came out to a one friend who is also gay about two and a half years ago, thats when i realised am gay, and then came out to the rest of my friends about 18 months ago (funny story on how that happened) i came out because i didnt order a pizza when i was ordering for my friend, because i didnt order one she kept asking why i wasnt eating and i kept saying im eating somewhere else, then she guessed that i was going to zacs for dinner (my ex who i had took him to her house the week before she knew he is gay but obviously didnt know we were seeing each other) she eventually asked if i was going to his for dinner i said yes, then she said ok and stayed quiet for 30 seconds then said "waait why couldnt you tell me?" i said i dont know, that went on for a couple minutes then she asked if i was seeing him n i said yes... so an interesting way to come out, the whole conversation i was debating on telling her so i was like stuff it ill just admit to it hahah, and after that i just told all my friends, am now 20 and still havent told family yet, i dont live with family i live with the pestering friend above hahah (yes we all tell her shes a pest and annoying all the time lol) i personally think telling friends first is the best way to go, and i will tell family soon but dont see them often enough as they all live 400 kms away or more hahah you will know when the time is right though 🙂

Hi TK,
I realised I was bisexual when I was quite young (I'm not sure of age, but I was probably only 11 or 12). Take your time in coming to terms with it, but also remember that those of us that identify this way are out there and support you 100%.
I have been in a relationship for many years with a man (and we are married), but I certainly still identify as bisexual.
I wish you well in your journey as you learn more about yourself. 🙂
