Hey everyone. I'm new here

[Snicker]

Hello, this is my first time doing this so I'm a bit unsure of how this works but I'll give it a go.

for about a year or so I have been struggling with my sexual orientation. I'm a 15 year old female and quite confused about it. All my life I had been mostly attracted to boys up until last year where I met a girl. Since then my attention has mostly been on girls. I thought I was bisexual and I never felt fully okay with that label, I'm not sure if that label is not for me or if I had trouble accepting it. I'm questioning if I might be a homosexual.

Any advice?

thanks 🙂

Hello Snicker,

Welcome to the forums.

It must be a confusing time right now. I remember as a teenager, I felt a social pressure to define myself in some way. But I've come to realise that we don't need to label ourselves to be who we are. If you're unsure about whether you're bisexual or homosexual, don't label yourself just yet. You can simply accept that you're on the LGBTQ spectrum without pinpointing "what" exactly you are. Let yourself be attracted to whomever you are attracted to and maybe, years down the road, you'll start feeling comfortable with a particular label and may use it. The label doesn't change who you are - it's simply a word you chose to use.

I hope this helps, Snicker.

Take care,
M
