    Hey everyone:slight_smile:
    I don't really know how I ended up here and I'm quite nervous about this actually but I didn't know where to turn so I typed "LGBT support forum" into google and well, here I am.

    I'm bad at this stuff so I'll just go ahead and list a load of pointless facts about myself:
    -I love elephants
    -I love Nelson Mandela
    -I enjoy coffee
    -I'm 15 & live in the UK
    -... I'm out of facts....

    Urm.... Since I was about 9 I thought I was bisexual, by the time I started secondary school at 11 I had ruled it out as a phase as all of the sudden I was surrounded by new people and got into week long "relationships" with guys and started to think maybe I wasn't attracted to girls. I had a little summer fling with my best friend, I love him to bits and he loves me but things got complicated and I called it off, I thought I still wanted to be with him but we talked about it and I figured out that I want to be his friend and nothing more, he feels the same. Over the past 3 years or so I've noticed that I seem to be getting more attracted to girls, and guys just don't appeal to me in that way... I thought I was gay a few months ago then decided I was bi, and now I'm back to thinking I'm gay, I've done things with girls before and I liked it... haven't been there with a guy voluntarily so I'm not sure how I feel about that- anyway... It's scary and I think I just need somewhere where people will understand, so I don't feel so alone.

    Hope you enjoyed my ramble of a story... oops!!

    It wont be easy. Just take one step at a time. Understanding what your feelings are telling you will be confusing and overwhelming at times. Stay strong because now you have a place to let things out and get some good feedback. You are not alone.
