    So I am 14 and have always been a lesbian and been very happy and comfortable about it. I never doubted it. I have always had crushes on girls.

    When I turned 12, I began to know what it meant when people started to tease me for being lesbian. They called me bad and wanted to "degay" me. I felt very bad about it and don't associate with those people anymore. I am homeschooled and have been ever sine I turned 7.

    I met this girl online in July 2015 and fell in love with her. She was perfect. I loved her more than anything. But she didn't love me back or appreciate my love for her. Then in July of 2016 I stopped contacting her. I hardly was able to talk to any of my other online friends since days after I stopped contacting her, our internet went out and our computer crashed as well.

    On August 1st, I began to start doubting whether I really am lesbian or not. Thinking about girls all the time has become a bit boring since I had no girl to love. But two to three weeks later I had a thought in my mind that if I had an attraction to guys, what if I wanted to kiss or have sex with one? The thought disgusted me but I tried to put up with and force myself to like these thoughts. At the end of September I forced myself to just accept these thoughts and just think as if I was straight. I began to not feel myself and hate the way I am. I kept questioning whether I should be with a guy instead of a girl. I don't feel me anymore, and it doesn't feel right to like guys, I don't feel sexually attracted to them! But I keep wondering if a guy would treat me better than a girl would, and I am also afraid to get in a relationship with a girl as many things could go wrong; teasing by others, hurtful comments, what if the love is one sided, things like this.

    I find a girl's body sexually attractive. I find the curves, hair, and sweet smile all attractive, but not a guy's. I don't see why abs are so hot. Although it is also hard sometimes as I am uncomfortable with my own body, and it can be a little odd to like girl bodies. I only want a relationship with a girl, but afraid I can't have it. I get jealous when I see guys in love with girls and want to make the girl mine. I find some guy's faces cute, but not sexually attractive.

    I'm terrified I will become straight, I don't want to be! But it seems like my brain likes these thoughts, even though my heart doesn't. Most girls have been so mean to me and think I am disgusting or gross. But I can't help it if I am a lesbian and I want to be that. I also feel insulted when seeing some lesbian things because it feels like they are making fun of me.

    I need advice please! I am really scared and confused! But I keep wondering if I would be better off with a guy and he would treat me better than girls would. Girls just don't seem to appreciate my love. When I fantasize about one I always think it won't work. But I really want it to...

    I wouldn't look at this one girl you were in love with who didn't return your feelings as a reason why you aren't attracted to girls.

    Yeah, being anything other than straight is rough, but you are also young and have plenty of time to date. Don't be so worried and stressed out about finding someone to date.
