			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>My mom's friend said that the only way to know that your a lesbian,is to have an adult incounter?I don't think that is true even though I have never kissed or had sex with anyone.But I did explore with my best friend when I was 10.She said thats too young to know and to have sexual feelings.It pisses me off cause I struggled with this when I was 14.That was the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with in my life.I got very depressed and had to get help.I'm 19 now and I am pretty sure this is not a phase.For those of you that are reading please put your thoughts on this.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Pretty self explanatory title.... I think. I don't know if there is a similar thread I have only been her... a day lol. Anywhopla.<br />
<br />
1st quater of 1990 a baby boy was born. By six I didn't think I was at all different from the other kids though I did have a crush on a boy in my class and from first-third grade I had quite the crush on this one girl, or three.<br />
<br />
From forth to fifth grade I was pretty much an outcast but I did make friends with a very tall effeminate boy. We were the two boys outcasted by the other boys and banished to the girls table. I had a crush on him as well. Fifth grade I had a little boyfriend who came about in a very peculiar way... he cut me in the lunch line and I protested, to which... he kissed me in the middle of a crowded new york city cafeteria line. I had already liked him and we &quot;dated&quot; if you want to even call it that lmao for a few months.<br />
<br />
6th-8th I grew withdrawn completely from society and around this time my father started questioning me, at 13 saying things like I hope you don't bring a boy home and at 14 asking if I was bi when I went through my Chicago phase. Singing and dancing... and the like lol. I denied of course even though at ages 12-15 they found my gay porn several times...<br />
<br />
16 mother found my gay porn (final time) and i said I was gay (even though during this time I really felt bi, but was out to my friends as gay 'except 1' because of the whole... stigma) Mother was all it's just a phase and how she had similar feelings when she was my age. During this time (14-18) I dated two guys and had two girlfriends. I remember whenever my friends would say &quot;you're just gay&quot; I would bring up that I do like girls and have had girlfriends but this was discounted. 19 I had my first serious boyfriend, absolute disaster ABSOLUTE DISASTER. I am not out exactly being that well... my mom is in denial I guess (Though not technically since at the time I identified as bi but told her I was gay because I was out as gay to my friends). Anywhopla he cheated on me, he's bi, and wanted to lead a more normal life and got a gf, also some other nasty things. Following that I have really just about not cared for relationships though i'd like one and am deciding to come to grips with my own identify.<br />
<br />
It was so easy when I was younger I liked guys and girls, sometimes guys more than girls and vice verser, no labels! Now though... doesn't seem quite as easy. If one were to ask what am I do I merely say &quot;human&quot;? Perchance I shall give that a try.<br />
<br />
What's your story?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I'm sure many of you have heard that if you move into an apartment or something with your friends it will ruin the friendship. My sister has presented this argument to me as a way to deter me from moving in with one of my friends and her two friends. To me, this logic is the same as saying &quot;if you move in with your partner, you and your partner will break up.&quot; What do you guys think about this?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>So, I just want to know what everyone on EC thinks about bisexuals and bisexuality in general.<br />
<br />
Basically, what stereotypes about bisexuals do you believe are valid (if any)? Just curious...<br />
<br />
Personally, I think that bisexuality is valid, and I don't think any of the stereotypes are valid. Other people can be attracted to people with different eye color, hair color, and ethnicity; that same flexibility just reaches to gender for some people... Those people are called bisexuals.</div>

For me my biggest regret so far hands down is not getting to know the people in my family, it is a shame that I know almost nothing about my extended family. I wish now that I was able to get to know them, unfortunately I don't see them much now....So, what's your biggest regret EC'ers??</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I seriously have to. I <i>must</i> make it obvious that I'm gay because two people confronted me on it today. First, some guy I don't even know comes up to me and is like, &quot;Are you gay?&quot; I'm just like... &quot;Uhm...&quot; and I walk away. Had to stop my eye mid twitch. :I <br />
<br />
Then later on the bus ride home, my best friend in the universe sits next to me, and he asks me if I know this chick named F(blahblahletters), who apparently, he claims, is super duper hot. I'm like, &quot;Maybe. What grade?&quot; and he said, &quot;6th.&quot; (Yah, were about to end 7th grade so uhm, nice choice bro) I said, &quot;Oh. Yeeuh. Why?&quot; he said, &quot;She is <i>so</i> hot.&quot; and I said, &quot;Oh. Ehw. No way.&quot; and he kinda gave me a look and said, &quot;Do you like guys?&quot; I paused for about 30 seconds and stared back. &quot;...Ya.&quot; Wow. I wanted to slap myself. I really wanted to scream NO but we were on a bussss and it was very uncomfortableeee. Then he laughed really hard and said, &quot;You paused for the longest time. Oh my god.&quot; The way he said it, and the way he looked kinda gave me a vibe of <i>I know you like girls, but do you like guys?</i> kinda thing. But idk. Maybe it's just me. But it was funny, embarrassing and now I'm ashamed that I lied to him.<br />
<br />
Thoughts on this or what? :tears:</div>
